ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
   2
   3         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
   4         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
   5         the time first either, since expect-select does it.

   8
   9         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
  10         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
  11         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
  12         Narazaki for this change.
  13
  14 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
  15
  16         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
  17         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
  18         %S.
  19
  20         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
  21         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
  22
  23 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  24
  25         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
  26         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
  27
  28 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
  29
  30         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
  31         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
  32         use define-public to export from the module.
  33
  34 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
  35
  36         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
  37         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
  38         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!

  45
  46         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
  47         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.

  63
  64         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
  65         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
  66
  67 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
  68
  69         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
  70         script to create generated files like this one.
  71
  72 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
  73
  74         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
  75         available before using getpw and getuid.
  76         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
  77         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
  78         check for stat.
  79         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
  80         check for .guile, instead of stat.
  81         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
  82         available.
  83         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
  84         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
  85         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
  86
  87         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
  88         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
  89
  90         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
  91
  92 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  93
  94         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
  95         than 'exit-debugger.
  96
  97         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.

 108         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
 109         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected

 112
 113 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

 116         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 117         Badros.)
 118
 119 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 120
 121         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 122         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 123
 124 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 125
 126         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

 141
 142         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 143         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 144
 145         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
 146
 147 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 148
 149         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 150         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 151         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 152         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 153
 154         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 155         argument.
 156
 157         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 158         both forward and backward views of the stack
 159         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 160         Use selector `frame-number';
 161         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 162         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 163         Use (ice-9 debug).
 164         Use readline conditionally.
 165
 166 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 167
 168         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 169         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 170         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 171
 172         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 173         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 174         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 175
 176 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 177
 178         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 179
 180         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 181
 182         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 183
 184         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 185
 186 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 187
 188         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 189         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 190         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 191         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 192         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 193         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 194         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 195         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 196         libguile-config-stamp.
 197         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 198         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 199         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 200         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 201         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 202
 203 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 204
 205         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 206         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 207         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 208
 209         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 210         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 211         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 212         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 213         readline.
 214
 215         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 216
 217 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 218
 219         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 220
 221 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 222
 223         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 224         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 225
 226 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 227
 228         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 229         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 230         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 231         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 232         objects starting with '#/'.
 233
 234 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 235
 236         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 237         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 238         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 239         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 240         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 241         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 242         `observer-id'.
 243         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 244         module-modified): New procedures.
 245         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 246         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 247
 248 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 249
 250         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 251         defines.
 252
 253 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 254
 255         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 256         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 257         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 258
 259         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 260         position.
 261
 262 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 263
 264         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 265         at multiple calls to read.
 266         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 267         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 268         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 269         continued-lines prompt.
 270
 271         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 272         reading expressions.
 273
 274 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 275
 276         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 277         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 278
 279 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 280
 281         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 282         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 283         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 284
 285         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 286
 287         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 288         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 289
 290         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 291         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 292         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 293         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 294         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 295         instead of a port.
 296
 297 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 298
 299         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 300         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 301
 302         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 303
 304         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 305         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 306         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 307         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 308
 309         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 310
 311         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 312
 313         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 314         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 315         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 316         an alist.
 317
 318         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 319
 320         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 321         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 322         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 323         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 324         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 325         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 326         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 327         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 328         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 329         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 330         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 331
 332         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 333
 334         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 335         peeked from the stream.
 336         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 337         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 338         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 339
 340         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 341
 342         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 343         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 344
 345         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 346
 347         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 348         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 349         exiting repl with single control-D.
 350
 351         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 352
 353         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 354         error catching loop after quit received.
 355         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 356
 357         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 358         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 359         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 360
 361         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 362         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 363         boot-9.scm.
 364         * popen.scm: new file.
 365
 366 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 367
 368        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 369        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 370
 371 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 372
 373         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 374         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 375
 376 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 377
 378         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 379         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 380         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 381         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 382         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 383
 384 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 385
 386         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 387
 388         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 389         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 390
 391         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 392         Guile's module system.
 393
 394         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 395         changes:
 396         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 397         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 398         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 399         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 400         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 401         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 402         modern CL behavior.
 403         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 404         '() when the condition is false.
 405
 406 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 407
 408         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 409
 410 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 411
 412         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 413
 414 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 415
 416         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 417         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 418         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 419
 420 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 421
 422         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 423         argument order for hash-fold.
 424
 425 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 426
 427         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 428         resolve-module.
 429         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 430         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 431
 432         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 433         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 434         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 435         has been added to the load path).
 436
 437         Use try-load-module.
 438
 439 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 440
 441         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 442         module between system and user state.
 443
 444 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 445
 446         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 447
 448         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 449         definition.
 450
 451 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 452
 453         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 454         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 455         system can create a wrapper class for it.
 456
 457 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 458
 459         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
 460         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
 461         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
 462         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
 463         stack frame encountered.
 464
 465         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
 466         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
 467         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
 468         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
 469         list).]
 470
 471         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
 472         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
 473         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
 474         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
 475         please tell me!]
 476
 477         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
 478         define-module switches:
 479
 480         (define-module (foo)
 481           :no-backtrace)
 482
 483         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
 484         modules.
 485
 486         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
 487         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
 488         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
 489         module it is a system frame.
 490
 491         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
 492         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
 493         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
 494         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
 495         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
 496
 497         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
 498         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
 499         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
 500         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
 501         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
 502         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
 503
 504         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
 505         status of a module.;
 506         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
 507         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
 508
 509         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
 510         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
 511         closure to the module.
 512
 513         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
 514
 515 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 516
 517         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
 518
 519 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 520
 521         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
 522
 523 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 524
 525         Fix from Russ McManus:
 526         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
 527         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
 528         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
 529         either an optional or required value.
 530
 531 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 532
 533         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
 534
 535         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
 536         of the '() key, not `rest'.
 537
 538         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
 539         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
 540         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
 541         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 542
 543 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 544
 545         * optargs.scm: New file.
 546         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
 547         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
 548
 549 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 550
 551         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
 552         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
 553         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 554
 555 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 556
 557         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
 558         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
 559         for isn't loaded.
 560
 561 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 562
 563         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 564
 565 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 566
 567         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
 568         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
 569         applied to the module itself.
 570
 571 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 572
 573         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
 574
 575         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
 576         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
 577
 578 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 579
 580         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
 581
 582 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 583
 584         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
 585
 586 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 587
 588         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
 589         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
 590
 591 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 592
 593         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
 594         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
 595         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
 596         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
 597         among BINDINGS is referenced.
 598         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
 599         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
 600
 601 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 602
 603         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
 604         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
 605
 606 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 607
 608         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
 609         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
 610         static libraries.
 611
 612 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 613
 614         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
 615
 616 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 617
 618         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
 619
 620 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 621
 622         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
 623         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
 624         adapt to the new hooks.
 625
 626 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 627
 628         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
 629         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
 630         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
 631         code.
 632         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
 633         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
 634
 635         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
 636         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
 637         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
 638         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
 639         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
 640         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
 641         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
 642         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
 643         first to register linked modules.
 644
 645         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
 646         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
 647         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
 648
 649         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
 650         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
 651         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
 652         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
 653
 654         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
 655         to use from C:
 656         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
 657         libguile/feature.c.
 658
 659         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
 660         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
 661         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
 662
 663 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 664
 665         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
 666         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
 667         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
 668
 669 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 670
 671         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
 672         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
 673         result of the last form.
 674
 675 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 676
 677         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
 678         syncase.scm.
 679
 680         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
 681
 682         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
 683         readline-set!: New options interface.
 684
 685         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
 686
 687 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 688
 689         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
 690         at the end of boot-9.scm.
 691
 692 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 693
 694         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
 695         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 696
 697 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 698
 699         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
 700         interactive session.
 701         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
 702
 703         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
 704         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
 705
 706 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 707
 708         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
 709
 710 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 711
 712         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
 713         read line was empty.
 714
 715 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 716
 717         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
 718         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
 719
 720         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
 721
 722         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
 723         problem.  Duh.
 724         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
 725         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
 726         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
 727
 728         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
 729         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
 730         into...
 731         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
 732         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
 733         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
 734
 735         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
 736         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
 737         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
 738         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
 739         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
 740         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
 741         psyntax.ss.
 742         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 743
 744         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 745         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 746
 747 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 748
 749         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
 750         and short vectors #h(...).
 751
 752 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 753
 754         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
 755         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
 756         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
 757
 758 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 759
 760         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
 761         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
 762         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
 763
 764 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 765
 766         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
 767         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
 768
 769         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
 770         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
 771         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
 772         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
 773
 774 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 775
 776         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
 777         trace flag.
 778
 779         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
 780         order to allow the empty list as arg.
 781         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
 782         context with traps enabled.
 783
 784 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 785
 786         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
 787         module.
 788         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
 789
 790 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 791
 792         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
 793         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
 794         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
 795         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
 796         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
 797
 798 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 799
 800         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
 801         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
 802
 803 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 804
 805         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
 806
 807 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 808
 809         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
 810
 811 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 812
 813         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
 814
 815 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 816
 817         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
 818         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
 819
 820 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 821
 822         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
 823         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
 824         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
 825         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
 826         Archibald.)
 827
 828         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
 829         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
 830         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
 831
 832 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 833
 834         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
 835         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
 836         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
 837         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
 838         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
 839         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
 840         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 841
 842 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 843
 844         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
 845
 846 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 847
 848         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
 849         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
 850         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
 851         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
 852         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
 853         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
 854
 855 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 856
 857         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
 858         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
 859         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
 860         Steven G. Johnson.)
 861
 862 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 863
 864         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
 865
 866 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 867
 868         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
 869
 870 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 871
 872         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
 873         be completed.
 874
 875 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 876
 877         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
 878
 879 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 880
 881         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
 882         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
 883
 884 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 885
 886         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
 887         similar in use to `use-modules'.
 888         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
 889         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
 890         transformer.
 891         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
 892         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
 893
 894 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 895
 896         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
 897
 898 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 899
 900         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
 901         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
 902         completion.
 903
 904         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
 905         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
 906
 907         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
 908         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
 909         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
 910
 911         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
 912
 913 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 914
 915         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
 916
 917         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
 918         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
 919
 920 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 921
 922         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
 923
 924 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 925
 926         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
 927         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
 928
 929         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
 930
 931         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
 932         obsolete.
 933
 934 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 935
 936         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
 937         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
 938
 939 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 940
 941         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
 942
 943 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 944
 945         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
 946         Stachowiak.)
 947
 948 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 949
 950         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
 951         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
 952         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
 953         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
 954         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
 955         threads.
 956
 957 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 958
 959         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
 960         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
 961         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
 962
 963 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 964
 965         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
 966
 967         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
 968         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
 969
 970 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 971
 972         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
 973         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
 974         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
 975         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
 976         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
 977         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
 978         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
 979         to go here.
 980
 981 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 982
 983         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
 984         is now a fluid.
 985
 986 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 987
 988         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
 989         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
 990         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
 991         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
 992         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
 993         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
 994
 995 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 996
 997         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
 998         usefully so they will work from a script.
 999
1000 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1001
1002         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1003         neighborhood of the record code.
1004
1005 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1006
1007         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1008         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1009         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1010         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1011
1012 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1013
1014         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1015         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1016         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1017
1018 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1019
1020         Add support for readline function.
1021         * readline.scm: New module.
1022         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1023         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1024         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1025         anything.
1026         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1027         repl-reader to use them.
1028         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1029
1030         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1031
1032 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1033
1034         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1035         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1036
1037 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1038
1039         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1040         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1041         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1042
1043 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1044
1045         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1046         #f, abort terminates the process.
1047         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1048         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1049
1050 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1051
1052         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1053         print-state, throw it away.
1054
1055 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1056
1057         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1058         `0'.
1059
1060 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1061
1062         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1063         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1064         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1065         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1066         user field).
1067         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1068         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1069
1070 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1071
1072         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1073
1074 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1075
1076         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1077         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1078         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1079         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1080         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1081         boot-9.scm.
1082         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1083         distribution and installation.
1084         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1085
1086 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1087
1088         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1089
1090 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1091
1092         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1093         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1094         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1095
1096         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1097         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1098         symbol.
1099
1100 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1101
1102         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1103

1108         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1109         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1110         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1111         field a separate argument.
1112
1113         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1114

1116
1117         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1118
1119         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

1128
1129         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1130         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1131         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1132         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1133         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1134         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1135         registered.
1136         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1137         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1138         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1139         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1140         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1141         link a .so-file.

1153
1154         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1155
1156         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1157         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1158         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1159         expansion inside the slib module.
1160
1161         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

1169         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1170
1171         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1172         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1173         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1174         source.
1175         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1176         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1177         been loaded.
1178
1179 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

1188         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1189         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1190         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1191         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1192         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1193         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1194         module.
1195         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1196
1197 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1198
1199         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1200
1201         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1202         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1203         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1204         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1205         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1206
1207         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1208         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as

1210         syncase macros.
1211         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1212         the syncase interface.
1213
1214 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1215
1216         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1217         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1218         workings of the current module system).
1219
1220 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1221
1222         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1223         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1224         off!

1233
1234         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1235         according to the following priorities:
1236         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1237         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1238         3. tcl bindings
1239         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1240         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1241         (new-interpreter): New function.
1242
1243         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1244         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1245         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1246

1262
1263         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1264         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1265         source!
1266
1267 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

1274         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
1275         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1276         in stack-ref).
1277
1278         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1279         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1280         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1281         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1282         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1283         result protocol;

1296
1297 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1298
1299         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1300         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1301         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1302
1303         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1304
1305         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1306         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
1307         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1308

1317         cstime.
1318

1320
1321         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1322         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1323         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1324
1325         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1326         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1327         the top.
1328
1329         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1330         order to narrow it correctly.
1331         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1332

1339
1340         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1341
1342 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1343
1344         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1345         builtin `with-fluids*'.
1346
1347 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1348
1349         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1350         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1351         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1352
1353 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1365
1366 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1367
1368         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1369         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1370         a default of /.
1371
1372         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1373
1374 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1376         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1377         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1378         notation, instead of #/ notation.

1381         make-regexp.

1384
1385         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1386         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1387         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1388         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1389         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1390         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1391
1392         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1393         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1394         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1395         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1396
1397 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1398
1399         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1400         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1401         sending in bug reports.
1402         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1403         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1404         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1405         display a warning if the two are different.
1406         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1407         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1408         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1409
1410 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1416         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1417         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1418
1419         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1420         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1421         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1422         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1423         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1424         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1425         that's okay.
1426
1427         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1428         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1429         regexp interface.
1430
1431         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1432         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
1433
1434         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1435         function names.
1436
1437         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1438         fixes.
1439

1441
1442         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1443         ../configure.in.

1447         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1448         vtable and not the one of the struct.
1449
1450 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1451
1452         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1453         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1454         to support printing of structures.
1455         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1456         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
1457         commented out printing code.
1458         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1459         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1460
1461 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1462
1463         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1464
1465 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1466
1467         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1468         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1469         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1470         during call to scm-style-repl.
1471
1472 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1473
1474         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1475         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1476         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1477         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
1478         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
1479
1480 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1481
1482         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1483         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1484         (ice-9 regex).
1485
1486 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1487
1488         * regex.scm: New file.
1489         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1490         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1491
1492 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1493
1494         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1495         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1496         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1497         threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1498
1499 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1500
1501         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1502         in 1997.
1503
1504 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1505
1506         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1507         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
1508         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1509
1510 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1511
1512         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1513         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1514         here.
1515
1516 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1517
1518         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1519
1520 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1521
1522         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1523
1524 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1525
1526         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1527         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1528         fixes this too.
1529
1530 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1531
1532         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1533         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1534         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
1535
1536 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1537
1538         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1539         the Scheme code like code yet.
1540         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1541
1542 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1543
1544         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1545         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
1546         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1547
1548 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1549
1550         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1551         use-modules macro
1552         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1553         can't be found.
1554
1555 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1556
1557         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1558
1559 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1560
1561         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1562
1563         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1564         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1565         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1566
1567 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1568
1569         Get 'make dist' to work again.
1570         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1571         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1572
1573         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1574         no plugins.
1575         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1576         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1577
1578 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1579
1580         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1581         functions.
1582
1583 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1584
1585         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1586
1587 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1588
1589         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1590         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1591
1592 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1593
1594         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1595         instead of in libguile.
1596         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1597         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1598
1599 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1600
1601         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1602         procedures.
1603         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1604         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1605
1606 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1607
1608         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1609         sockaddr:port): new functions.
1610
1611 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1612
1613         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1614         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1615         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1616         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1617
1618 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1619
1620         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1621         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1622
1623 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1624
1625         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1626
1627 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1628
1629         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1630         keywords and symbols.
1631
1632 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1633
1634         * slib.scm: update read usage.
1635
1636         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1637         Don't define read-sharp.
1638
1639         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1640         (read-sharp): removed.
1641         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1642         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1643
1644 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1645
1646         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1647
1648         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
1649         primitive procedure.)
1650
1651         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1652         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1653
1654 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1655
1656         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1657
1658 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1659
1660         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1661
1662 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1663
1664         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1665         read gets EOF.
1666         * (exit): alias for quit.
1667
1668 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1669
1670         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1671         return the quit args.
1672         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1673         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
1674         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1675
1676         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1677
1678 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1679
1680         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1681
1682         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1683         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1684
1685         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1686         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1687
1688         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1689         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1690         of handlers.
1691
1692 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1693
1694         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1695
1696         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1697         (add-hooks!): New macro.
1698         Change hooks to use these functions.
1699
1700         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
1701         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1702         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1703         the source! :-)
1704         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1705         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1706         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1707         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
1708         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1709         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1710         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1711         traced.
1712
1713         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1714         and exit-frame exceptions.
1715
1716         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1717         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1718         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1719         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1720         result; otherwise display "> ".
1721         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1722
1723         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1724         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1725         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
1726         repository version runnable.
1727
1728 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1729
1730         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1731         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
1732         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1733         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1734         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1735         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1736
1737 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1738
1739         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1740         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1741         and eval.
1742         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1743         "defined?".
1744         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1745         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
1746
1747 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1748
1749         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1750
1751 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1752
1753         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1754         %read-sharp layer.
1755
1756 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1757
1758         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1759         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1760
1761 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1762
1763         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
1764         backtrace.c.)
1765
1766 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1767
1768         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1769         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1770
1771 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1772
1773         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1774
1775         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1776         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1777         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1778         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1779         dynamic linking of modules.
1780         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1781         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1782
1783 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1784
1785         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1786
1787 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1788
1789         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1790         that's what it is.
1791
1792         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1793         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
1794         was false.
1795
1796 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1797
1798         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1799         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1800         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1801
1802 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1803
1804         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1805         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
1806         yet.
1807
1808 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1809
1810         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1811         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1812         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1813
1814 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1815
1816         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1817         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1818         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1819         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1820
1821         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1822         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1823         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1824         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1825         (such as the-scm-module).
1826
1827 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1828
1829         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1830         %search-load-path.
1831
1832 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
1833
1834         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1835         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1836         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1837
1838 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1839
1840         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1841         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1842         function, use it accordingly.
1843
1844 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1845
1846         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
1847         function of no arguments.
1848         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1849         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1850         set-current-module): Uses changed.
1851         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1852         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1853         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1854         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1855         *top-level-eval-closure*.
1856
1857 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1858
1859         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1860         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1861
1862 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1863
1864         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1865         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1866         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
1867         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
1868         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1869
1870         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1871         `*features*'.
1872
1873         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1874         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
1875         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1876         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1877
1878         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1879
1880         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1881
1882         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1883         If the user wants to see this, he can do
1884         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1885
1886         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1887         error.
1888
1889         Added `before-read-hook'.
1890
1891         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1892
1893         (provide): New function.
1894
1895         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1896         in backtraces.
1897
1898         (backtrace): New function.
1899
1900         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1901         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1902         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
1903         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1904         is found in operator position in a frame.
1905
1906         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1907         by default.
1908
1909         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1910         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1911         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1912
1913         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
1914
1915         (library-vicinity): Updated.
1916
1917         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1918
1919         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1920
1921 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1922
1923         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1924
1925         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1926         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
1927
1928         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1929         so they'll get distributed.
1930
1931         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
1932         should see as little clutter as possible.
1933         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1934         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1935         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1936
1937         * r4rs.scm: New file.
1938         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1939         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1940         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1941         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1942         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1943         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1944         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1945         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1946         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1947         that are not.
1948         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1949         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1950
1951         * test.scm: New file.
1952
1953         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1954         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
1955         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1956
1957         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1958         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1959
1960         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1961         work now.
1962         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
1963         call %load-announce.
1964
1965 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1966
1967         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1968         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1969         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1970         components.
1971         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1972
1973 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1974
1975         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1976         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1977         SCSH (which this isn't).
1978
1979 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1980
1981         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1982
1983 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1984
1985         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1986         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1987         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1988         these.
1989         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
1990         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
1991         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1992         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1993         save-stack.
1994
1995 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1996
1997         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1998
1999         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2000
2001         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2002         error-catching-loop.
2003         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2004         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2005         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2006
2007         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2008         error-catching-loop.
2009
2010 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2011
2012         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2013         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2014         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2015         should be '(), not #f.
2016
2017         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2018         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2019
2020 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2021
2022         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2023         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2024         error-signal.
2025
2026 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2027
2028         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2029         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2030         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2031         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2032
2033 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2034
2035         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2036
2037 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2038
2039         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2040
2041         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2042         throw-handler-default.
2043         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2044         reported.
2045         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2046         acro.
2047         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2048         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2049
2050 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2051
2052         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2053         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2054         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2055         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2056
2057 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2058
2059         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2060         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2061         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2062         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2063         ...))
2064         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2065         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2066         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2067         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2068         file-is-directory?
2069
2070 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2071
2072         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2073
2074         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2075         distribution.
2076
2077         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2078         `switch-repl'.
2079
2080         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2081
2082 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2083
2084         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2085         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2086
2087 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2088
2089         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2090
2091         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2092
2093 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2094
2095         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2096         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2097         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2098         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2099         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2100
2101         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2102         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2103         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2104         they seem redundant.
2105         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2106         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2107         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2108         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2109         directly files starting with "/").
2110         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2111         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2112
2113         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2114
2115 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2116
2117         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2118         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2119         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2120         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2121         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2122         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2123         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2124         robust to just do it in the C code.
2125
2126 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2127
2128         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2129         %try-load itself was the primitive.
