  28
  29 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  30
  31         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.

  38
  39         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
  40         '() instead of #f.
  41         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
  42         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
  43         `the-root-module'.
  44         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
  45
  46         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
  47         documentation.scm.

  60
  61         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
  62         (write-all): Removed.
  63         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
  64         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
  65
  66 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  67
  68         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
  69
  70 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  71
  72         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
  73         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
  74         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
  75         closure.
  76
  77 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  78
  79         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
  80         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
  81         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
  82         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
  83         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
  84         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
  85         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
  86
  87 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  88
  89         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
  90         accept complex numbers as parameter.
  91
  92 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  93
  94         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
  95         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
  96
  97 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  98
  99         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 100         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 101         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 102         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 103         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 104         delete-if! when iterating.
 105
 106 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 107
 108         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 109
 110 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 111
 112         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 113
 114 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 115
 116         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 117         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 118         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 119         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 120
 121 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 122
 123         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 124         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 125
 126 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 127
 128         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 129         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 130         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 131         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 132
 133 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 134
 135         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 136         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 137
 138 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 139
 140         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 141         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 142
 143 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 144
 145         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 146         Dirk Hermann!
 147
 148 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 149
 150         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 151         source of the numerous very short changes.
 152
 153 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 154
 155         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 156         public.
 157
 158         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 159         info pages.
 160
 161 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 162
 163         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 164         from slib docs.
 165
 166 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 167
 168         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 169         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 170
 171 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 172
 173         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 174         to string-append.
 175
 176 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 177
 178         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 179         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 180         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 181
 182 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 183
 184         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 185         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 186         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 187         Narazaki for this change.
 188
 189 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 190
 191         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 192         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 193         %S.
 194
 195         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 196         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 197
 198 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 199
 200         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 201         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 202
 203 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 204
 205         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 206         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 207         use define-public to export from the module.
 208
 209 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 210
 211         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 212         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 213         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
 214
 215 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 216
 217         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
 218
 219 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 220
 221         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
 222         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
 223
 224 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 225
 226         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
 227
 228         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
 229
 230         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
 231
 232 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 233
 234         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
 235         long_long uniform vectors.
 236
 237 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 238
 239         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
 240         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
 241
 242 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 243
 244         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 245         script to create generated files like this one.
 246
 247 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 248
 249         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 250         available before using getpw and getuid.
 251         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
 252         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
 253         check for stat.
 254         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
 255         check for .guile, instead of stat.
 256         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
 257         available.
 258         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 259         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 260         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 261
 262         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 263         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 264
 265         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 266
 267 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 268
 269         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
 270         than 'exit-debugger.
 271
 272         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
 273         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.

 283         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
 284         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
 285         to return a valid state.)
 286         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
 287
 288 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 289
 290         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
 291         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 292         Badros.)
 293
 294 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 295
 296         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 297         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 298
 299 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 300
 301         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

 310         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
 311         expression.
 312         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
 313         Handle errors.
 314
 315 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 316
 317         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 318         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 319
 320         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
 321
 322 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 323
 324         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 325         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 326         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 327         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 328
 329         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 330         argument.
 331
 332         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 333         both forward and backward views of the stack
 334         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 335         Use selector `frame-number';
 336         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 337         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 338         Use (ice-9 debug).
 339         Use readline conditionally.
 340
 341 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 342
 343         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 344         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 345         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 346
 347         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 348         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 349         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 350
 351 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 352
 353         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 354
 355         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 356
 357         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 358
 359         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 360
 361 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 362
 363         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 364         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 365         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 366         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 367         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 368         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 369         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 370         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 371         libguile-config-stamp.
 372         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 373         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 374         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 375         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 376         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 377
 378 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 379
 380         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 381         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 382         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 383
 384         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 385         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 386         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 387         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 388         readline.
 389
 390         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 391
 392 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 393
 394         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 395
 396 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 397
 398         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 399         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 400
 401 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 402
 403         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 404         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 405         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 406         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 407         objects starting with '#/'.
 408
 409 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 410
 411         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 412         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 413         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 414         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 415         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 416         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 417         `observer-id'.
 418         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 419         module-modified): New procedures.
 420         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 421         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 422
 423 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 424
 425         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 426         defines.
 427
 428 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 429
 430         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 431         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 432         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 433
 434         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 435         position.
 436
 437 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 438
 439         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 440         at multiple calls to read.
 441         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 442         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 443         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 444         continued-lines prompt.
 445
 446         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 447         reading expressions.
 448
 449 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 450
 451         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 452         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 453
 454 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 455
 456         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 457         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 458         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 459
 460         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 461
 462         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 463         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 464
 465         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 466         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 467         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 468         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 469         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 470         instead of a port.
 471
 472 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 473
 474         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 475         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 476
 477         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 478
 479         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 480         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 481         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 482         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 483
 484         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 485
 486         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 487
 488         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 489         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 490         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 491         an alist.
 492
 493         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 494
 495         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 496         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 497         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 498         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 499         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 500         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 501         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 502         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 503         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 504         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 505         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 506
 507         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 508
 509         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 510         peeked from the stream.
 511         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 512         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 513         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 514
 515         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 516
 517         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 518         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 519
 520         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 521
 522         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 523         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 524         exiting repl with single control-D.
 525
 526         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 527
 528         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 529         error catching loop after quit received.
 530         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 531
 532         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 533         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 534         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 535
 536         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 537         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 538         boot-9.scm.
 539         * popen.scm: new file.
 540
 541 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 542
 543        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 544        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 545
 546 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 547
 548         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 549         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 550
 551 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 552
 553         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 554         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 555         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 556         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 557         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 558
 559 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 560
 561         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 562
 563         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 564         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 565
 566         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 567         Guile's module system.
 568
 569         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 570         changes:
 571         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 572         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 573         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 574         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 575         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 576         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 577         modern CL behavior.
 578         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 579         '() when the condition is false.
 580
 581 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 582
 583         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 584
 585 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 586
 587         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 588
 589 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 590
 591         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 592         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 593         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 594
 595 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 596
 597         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 598         argument order for hash-fold.
 599
 600 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 601
 602         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 603         resolve-module.
 604         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 605         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 606
 607         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 608         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 609         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 610         has been added to the load path).
 611
 612         Use try-load-module.
 613
 614 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 615
 616         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 617         module between system and user state.
 618
 619 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 620
 621         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 622
 623         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 624         definition.
 625
 626 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 627
 628         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 629         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 630         system can create a wrapper class for it.
 631
 632 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 633
 634         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
 635         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
 636         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
 637         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
 638         stack frame encountered.
 639
 640         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
 641         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
 642         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
 643         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
 644         list).]
 645
 646         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
 647         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
 648         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
 649         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
 650         please tell me!]
 651
 652         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
 653         define-module switches:
 654
 655         (define-module (foo)
 656           :no-backtrace)
 657
 658         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
 659         modules.
 660
 661         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
 662         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
 663         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
 664         module it is a system frame.
 665
 666         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
 667         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
 668         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
 669         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
 670         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
 671
 672         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
 673         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
 674         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
 675         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
 676         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
 677         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
 678
 679         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
 680         status of a module.;
 681         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
 682         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
 683
 684         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
 685         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
 686         closure to the module.
 687
 688         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
 689
 690 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 697
 698 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 699
 700         Fix from Russ McManus:
 701         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
 702         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
 703         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
 704         either an optional or required value.
 705
 706 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 707
 708         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
 709
 710         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
 711         of the '() key, not `rest'.
 712
 713         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
 714         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
 715         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.

 731
 732         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
 733         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
 734         for isn't loaded.
 735
 736 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>

 741
 742         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
 743         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
 744         applied to the module itself.
 745
 746 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 747
 748         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
 749
 750         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
 751         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
 752
 753 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 754
 755         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
 756
 757 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 758
 759         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
 760
 761 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 762
 763         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
 764         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
 765
 766 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 767
 768         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
 769         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
 770         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
 771         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
 772         among BINDINGS is referenced.
 773         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
 774         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
 775
 776 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 777
 778         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
 779         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
 780
 781 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 782
 783         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
 784         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
 785         static libraries.
 786
 787 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 788
 789         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
 790
 791 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 792
 793         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
 794
 795 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 796
 797         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
 798         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
 799         adapt to the new hooks.
 800
 801 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 802
 803         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
 804         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
 805         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
 806         code.
 807         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
 808         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
 809
 810         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
 811         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
 812         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
 813         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
 814         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
 815         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
 816         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
 817         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
 818         first to register linked modules.
 819
 820         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
 821         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
 822         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
 823
 824         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
 825         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
 826         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
 827         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
 828
 829         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
 830         to use from C:
 831         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
 832         libguile/feature.c.
 833
 834         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
 835         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
 836         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
 837
 838 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 839
 840         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
 841         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
 842         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
 843
 844 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 845
 846         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
 847         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
 848         result of the last form.
 849
 850 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 851
 852         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
 853         syncase.scm.
 854
 855         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
 856
 857         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
 858         readline-set!: New options interface.
 859
 860         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
 861
 862 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 863
 864         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
 865         at the end of boot-9.scm.
 866
 867 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 868
 869         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
 870         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 871
 872 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 873
 874         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
 875         interactive session.
 876         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
 877
 878         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
 879         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
 880
 881 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 882
 883         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
 884
 885 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 886
 887         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
 888         read line was empty.
 889
 890 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 891
 892         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
 893         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
 894
 895         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
 896
 897         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
 898         problem.  Duh.
 899         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
 900         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
 901         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
 902
 903         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
 904         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
 905         into...
 906         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
 907         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
 908         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
 909
 910         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
 911         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
 912         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
 913         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
 914         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
 915         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
 916         psyntax.ss.
 917         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 918
 919         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 920         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 921
 922 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 923
 924         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
 925         and short vectors #h(...).
 926
 927 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 928
 929         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
 930         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
 931         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
 932
 933 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 934
 935         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
 936         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
 937         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
 938
 939 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 940
 941         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
 942         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
 943
 944         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
 945         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
 946         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
 947         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
 948
 949 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 950
 951         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
 952         trace flag.
 953
 954         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
 955         order to allow the empty list as arg.
 956         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
 957         context with traps enabled.
 958
 959 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 960
 961         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
 962         module.
 963         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
 964
 965 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 966
 967         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
 968         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
 969         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
 970         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
 971         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
 972
 973 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 974
 975         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
 976         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
 977
 978 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 979
 980         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
 981
 982 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 983
 984         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
 985
 986 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 987
 988         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
 989
 990 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 991
 992         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
 993         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
 994
 995 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 996
 997         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
 998         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
 999         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1000         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1001         Archibald.)
1002
1003         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1004         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1005         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1006
1007 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1008
1009         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1010         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1011         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1012         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1013         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1014         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1015         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1016
1017 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1018
1019         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1020
1021 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1022
1023         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1024         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1025         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1026         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1027         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1028         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1029
1030 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1031
1032         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1033         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1034         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1035         Steven G. Johnson.)
1036
1037 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1038
1039         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1040
1041 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1042
1043         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1044
1045 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1046
1047         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1048         be completed.
1049
1050 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1051
1052         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1053
1054 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1055
1056         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1057         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1058
1059 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1060
1061         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1062         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1063         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1064         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1065         transformer.
1066         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1067         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1068
1069 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1070
1071         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1072
1073 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1074
1075         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1076         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1077         completion.
1078
1079         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1080         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1081
1082         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1083         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1084         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1085
1086         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1087
1088 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1089
1090         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1091
1092         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1093         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1094
1095 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1096
1097         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1098
1099 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1100
1101         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1102         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1103
1104         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1105
1106         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1107         obsolete.
1108
1109 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1110
1111         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.

1114 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1115
1116         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1117
1118 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1119
1120         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1121         Stachowiak.)
1122
1123 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1124
1125         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1126         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1127         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1128         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1129         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1130         threads.
1131
1132 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1133
1134         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1135         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1136         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1137
1138 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1139
1140         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1141
1142         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1143         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1144
1145 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1146
1147         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1148         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1149         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1150         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1151         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1152         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1153         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1154         to go here.
1155
1156 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1157
1158         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1159         is now a fluid.
1160
1161 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1162
1163         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1164         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1165         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1166         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1167         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1168         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1169
1170 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1171
1172         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1173         usefully so they will work from a script.
1174
1175 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1176
1177         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1178         neighborhood of the record code.
1179
1180 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1181
1182         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1183         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1184         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1185         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1186
1187 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1188
1189         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1190         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1191         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1192
1193 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1194
1195         Add support for readline function.
1196         * readline.scm: New module.
1197         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1198         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1199         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1200         anything.
1201         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1202         repl-reader to use them.
1203         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1204
1205         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1206
1207 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1208
1209         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1210         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1211
1212 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1213
1214         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1215         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1216         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1217
1218 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1219
1220         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1221         #f, abort terminates the process.
1222         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1223         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1224
1225 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1226
1227         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1228         print-state, throw it away.
1229
1230 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1231
1232         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1233         `0'.
1234
1235 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1236
1237         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1238         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1239         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1240         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1241         user field).
1242         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1243         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1244
1245 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1246
1247         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1248
1249 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1250
1251         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1252         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1253         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1254         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1255         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1256         boot-9.scm.
1257         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1258         distribution and installation.
1259         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1260
1261 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1262
1263         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1264
1265 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1266
1267         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1268         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1269         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1270
1271         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1272         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1273         symbol.
1274
1275 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1276
1277         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1278
1279         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.

1282
1283         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1284         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1285         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1286         field a separate argument.
1287
1288         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1289
1290 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1291
1292         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1293
1294         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1295         vicinity;
1296         Provide defmacro.
1297
1298 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1299
1300         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1301
1302 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1303
1304         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1305         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1306         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1307         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1308         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1309         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1310         registered.
1311         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1312         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1313         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1314         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1315         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1316         link a .so-file.
1317
1318 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1321
1322 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1323
1324         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1325         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1326
1327 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1328
1329         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1330
1331         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1332         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1333         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1334         expansion inside the slib module.
1335
1336         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1337         constructors.
1338         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1339         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
1340         (let): New core form.
1341         (if): Removed from core language.
1342         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
1343         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
1344         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1345
1346         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1347         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1348         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1349         source.
1350         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1351         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1352         been loaded.
1353
1354 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1355
1356         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1357         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1358         `use-syntax'.
1359         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1360
1361         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1362         (make-module): Modified initialization.
1363         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1364         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1365         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1366         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1367         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1368         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1369         module.
1370         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1371
1372 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1373
1374         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1375
1376         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1377         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1378         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1379         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1380         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1381
1382         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1383         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1384         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1385         syncase macros.
1386         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1387         the syncase interface.
1388
1389 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1390
1391         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1392         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1393         workings of the current module system).
1394
1395 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1396
1397         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1398         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1399         off!
1400
1401 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1402
1403         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1404         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1405         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1406
1407 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1408
1409         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1410         according to the following priorities:
1411         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1412         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1413         3. tcl bindings
1414         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1415         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1416         (new-interpreter): New function.
1417
1418         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1419         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1420         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1421
1422 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1423

1429
1430 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1431
1432         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1433         procedures.
1434         (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
1435
1436 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1437
1438         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1439         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1440         source!
1441
1442 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1443
1444         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1445         (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
1446         (apropos-internal): New function.  Return list of accessible
1447         symbols matching regexp.
1448
1449         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
1450         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1451         in stack-ref).
1452
1453         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1454         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1455         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1456         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1457         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1458         result protocol;
1459         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1460         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.

1471
1472 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1473
1474         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1475         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1476         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1477
1478         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1479
1480         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1481         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
1482         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman

1492         cstime.
1493

1495
1496         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1497         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1498         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1499
1500         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1501         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1502         the top.
1503
1504         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1505         order to narrow it correctly.

1518
1519         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1520         builtin `with-fluids*'.
1521
1522 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1523
1524         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1525         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1526         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1527
1528 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1529
1530         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1531         automatically.
1532
1533 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1534
1535         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1536         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1537         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1538         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1539         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1540
1541 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1542
1543         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1544         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1545         a default of /.
1546
1547         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1548
1549 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1550
1551         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1552         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1553         notation, instead of #/ notation.
1554

1556         make-regexp.
1557
1558 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1559
1560         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1561         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1562         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1563         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1564         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1565         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1566
1567         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1568         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1569         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1570         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1571
1572 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1573
1574         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1575         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1576         sending in bug reports.
1577         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1578         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1579         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1580         display a warning if the two are different.
1581         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1582         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1583         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1584
1585 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1586
1587         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1588
1589 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1590
1591         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1592         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1593
1594         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1595         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1596         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1597         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1598         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1599         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1600         that's okay.
1601
1602         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1603         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1604         regexp interface.
1605
1606         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1607         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
1608
1609         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1610         function names.
1611
1612         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1613         fixes.
1614
1615 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1616
1617         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1618         ../configure.in.
1619
1620 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1621
1622         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1623         vtable and not the one of the struct.
1624
1625 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1626
1627         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1628         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1629         to support printing of structures.
1630         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1631         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
1632         commented out printing code.
1633         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1634         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1635
1636 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1637
1638         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1639
1640 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1641
1642         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1643         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1644         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1645         during call to scm-style-repl.
1646
1647 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1648
1649         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1650         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1651         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1652         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
1653         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
1654
1655 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1656
1657         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1658         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1659         (ice-9 regex).
1660
1661 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1662
1663         * regex.scm: New file.
1664         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1665         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1666
1667 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1668
1669         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

1671         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,

1677         in 1997.
1678
1679 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1680
1681         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1682         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
1683         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1684
1685 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1686
1687         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1688         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1689         here.
1690
1691 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1692
1693         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1694

1699 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1700
1701         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1702         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1703         fixes this too.
1704
1705 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1706
1707         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1708         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1709         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
1710
1711 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1712
1713         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1714         the Scheme code like code yet.
1715         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1716
1717 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1718
1719         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1720         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
1721         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1722
1723 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1724
1725         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1726         use-modules macro
1727         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1728         can't be found.
1729
1730 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1731
1732         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1733
1734 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1735
1736         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1737
1738         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1739         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1740         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1741

1748         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1749         no plugins.
1750         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1751         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1759
1760         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1761
1762 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1763
1764         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1765         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).

1768
1769         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1770         instead of in libguile.
1771         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1772         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1773
1774 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1775
1776         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1777         procedures.
1778         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.

1780
1781 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1782
1783         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1784         sockaddr:port): new functions.
1785
1786 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1787
1788         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1789         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1790         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1791         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1792
1793 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1794
1795         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1796         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1797
1798 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1799
1800         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1801
1802 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1803
1804         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1805         keywords and symbols.
1806
1807 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1808
1809         * slib.scm: update read usage.
1810
1811         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1812         Don't define read-sharp.
1813
1814         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1815         (read-sharp): removed.
1816         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1817         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1818
1819 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1820
1821         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1822
1823         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
1824         primitive procedure.)
1825
1826         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1827         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1828
1829 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1830
1831         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1832
1833 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1834
1835         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1836
1837 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1838
1839         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1840         read gets EOF.
1841         * (exit): alias for quit.
1842
1843 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1844
1845         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1846         return the quit args.
1847         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1848         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
1849         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1850
1851         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1852
1853 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1854
1855         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1856
1857         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1858         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1859
1860         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1861         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1862
1863         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1864         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1865         of handlers.
1866
1867 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1868
1869         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1870
1871         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1872         (add-hooks!): New macro.
1873         Change hooks to use these functions.
1874
1875         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
1876         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1877         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1878         the source! :-)
1879         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1880         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1881         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1882         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
1883         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1884         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1885         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1886         traced.
1887
1888         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1889         and exit-frame exceptions.
1890
1891         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1892         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1893         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1894         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1895         result; otherwise display "> ".
1896         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1897
1898         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1899         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1900         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
1901         repository version runnable.
1902
1903 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1904
1905         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1906         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
1907         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1908         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1909         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1910         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1911
1912 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1913
1914         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1915         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1916         and eval.
1917         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1918         "defined?".
1919         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1920         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
1921
1922 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1923
1924         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1925
1926 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1927
1928         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1929         %read-sharp layer.
1930
1931 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1932
1933         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1934         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1935
1936 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1937
1938         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
1939         backtrace.c.)
1940
1941 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1942
1943         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1944         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1945
1946 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1947
1948         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1949
1950         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1951         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1952         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1953         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1954         dynamic linking of modules.
1955         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1956         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1957
1958 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1959
1960         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1961
1962 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1963
1964         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1965         that's what it is.
1966
1967         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1968         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
1969         was false.
1970
1971 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1972
1973         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1974         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1975         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1976
1977 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1978
1979         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1980         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
1981         yet.
1982
1983 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1984
1985         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1986         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1987         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1988
1989 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1990
1991         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1992         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1993         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1994         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1995
1996         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1997         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1998         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1999         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2000         (such as the-scm-module).
2001
2002 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2003
2004         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2005         %search-load-path.
2006
2007 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2008
2009         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2010         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2011         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2012
2013 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2014
2015         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2016         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2017         function, use it accordingly.
2018
2019 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2020
2021         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2022         function of no arguments.
2023         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2024         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2025         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2026         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2027         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2028         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2029         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2030         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2031
2032 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2033
2034         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2035         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2036
2037 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2038
2039         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2040         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2041         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2042         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2043         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2044
2045         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2046         `*features*'.
2047
2048         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2049         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2050         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2051         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2052
2053         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2054
2055         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2056
2057         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2058         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2059         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2060
2061         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2062         error.
2063
2064         Added `before-read-hook'.
2065
2066         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2067
2068         (provide): New function.
2069
2070         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2071         in backtraces.
2072
2073         (backtrace): New function.
2074
2075         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2076         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2077         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2078         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2079         is found in operator position in a frame.
2080
2081         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2082         by default.
2083
2084         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2085         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2086         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2087
2088         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2089
2090         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2091
2092         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2093
2094         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2095
2096 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2097
2098         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2099
2100         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2101         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2102
2103         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2104         so they'll get distributed.
2105
2106         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2107         should see as little clutter as possible.
2108         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2109         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2110         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2111
2112         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2113         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2114         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2115         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2116         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2117         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2118         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2119         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2120         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2121         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2122         that are not.
2123         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2124         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2125
2126         * test.scm: New file.
2127
2128         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2129         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2130         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2131
2132         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2133         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2134
2135         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2136         work now.
2137         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2138         call %load-announce.
2139
2140 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2141
2142         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2143         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2144         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2145         components.
2146         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2147
2148 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2149
2150         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2151         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2152         SCSH (which this isn't).

2154 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2155
2156         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2157
2158 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2159
2160         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2161         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2162         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2163         these.
2164         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2165         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2166         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2167         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2168         save-stack.
2169
2170 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2171
2172         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2173
2174         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2175
2176         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2177         error-catching-loop.
2178         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2179         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2180         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2181
2182         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2183         error-catching-loop.
2184
2185 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2186
2187         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2188         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2189         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2190         should be '(), not #f.
2191
2192         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2193         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2194
2195 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2196
2197         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2198         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2199         error-signal.
2200
2201 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2202
2203         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2204         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2205         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2206         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2207
2208 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2209
2210         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2211
2212 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2213
2214         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2215
2216         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2217         throw-handler-default.
2218         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2219         reported.
2220         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2221         acro.
2222         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2223         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2224
2225 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2226
2227         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2228         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2229         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2230         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2231
2232 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2233
2234         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2235         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2236         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2237         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2238         ...))
2239         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2240         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2241         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2242         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2243         file-is-directory?
2244
2245 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2246
2247         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2248
2249         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2250         distribution.
2251
2252         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2253         `switch-repl'.
2254
2255         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2256
2257 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2258
2259         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2260         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2261
2262 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2263
2264         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2265
2266         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2267
2268 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2269
2270         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2271         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2272         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2273         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2274         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2275
2276         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2277         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2278         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2279         they seem redundant.
2280         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2281         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2282         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2283         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2284         directly files starting with "/").
2285         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2286         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2287
2288         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2289
2290 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2291
2292         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2293         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2294         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2295         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2296         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2297         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2298         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2299         robust to just do it in the C code.
2300
2301 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2302
2303         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2304         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2305         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2306         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2307         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2308
2309 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2310
2311         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2312         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2313         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2314
2315 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2316
2317         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2318         system-error, not every kind of error.
2319         (scm-error): new procedure.
2320
2321 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2322
2323         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2324
2325 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2326
2327         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2328         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
2329         of args are supplied.
2330         (%%system-errors): removed.
2331         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2332         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2333         %%handle-system-error.
2334         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2335         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2336         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2337         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2338
2339 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2340
2341         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2342         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2343         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2344         %S (embed an argument using "write").
2345
2346 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2347
2348         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2349         the empty list if they are #f.
2350         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2351
2352 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2353
2354         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2355
2356         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2357         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2358         aborting, just the key and subr.
2359         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2360         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2361         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2362
2363 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2364
2365         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2366         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2367         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2368         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2369         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2370
2371 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2372
2373         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2374         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2375         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2376         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2377
2378 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2379
2380         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2381         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2382         initialize %load-path.
2383
2384         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2385         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2386
2387 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2388
2389         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2390         Add the directory named after the version number.
2391         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2392         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2393         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2394         sitedatadir): New definitions.
2395         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

2397         Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2398         (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2399
2400 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2401
2402         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2403         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2404         in the Makefile directly.
2405         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2406         for these.
2407         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2408         aux_files.
2409         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2410         here, where people expect to find them.

2413
2414         * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2415         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2416
2417         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2418
2419 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2420
2421         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2422         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)
2423
2424 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2425
2426         * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2427         Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2428
2429         * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2430         weak-key-hash-table.
2431
2432 Sat Aug  3 06:16:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2433
2434         * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2435         (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes.  return
2436         the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2437         (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2438         (%open-file): removed.
2439         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2440         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2441
2442 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2443
2444         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2445         (manifest): Deleted.
2446         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2447         directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2448
2449 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2450
2451         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2452         now that they throw errors directly.
2453         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2454         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2455
2456 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2457
2458         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2459
2460 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>
2461
2462         * The more things change...
2463
2464
