1 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
3 * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
4 anonymous. Now needed in modules.c.
5 (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
8 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
10 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
11 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
12 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
13 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
14 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
15 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
16 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
18 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
20 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
21 accept complex numbers as parameter.
23 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
25 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
26 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
28 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
30 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
31 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
32 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
33 instead of remove-if when iterating.
34 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
35 delete-if! when iterating.
37 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
39 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
41 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
43 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
45 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
47 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
48 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
49 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
50 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
52 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
54 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
55 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
57 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
59 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
60 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
61 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
62 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
64 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
66 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
67 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
69 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
71 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
72 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
74 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
76 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
79 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
81 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
82 source of the numerous very short changes.
84 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
86 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
89 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
92 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
94 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
97 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
99 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
100 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
102 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
104 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
107 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
109 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
110 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
111 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
113 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
115 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
116 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
117 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
118 Narazaki for this change.
120 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
122 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
123 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
126 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
127 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
129 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
131 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
132 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
134 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
136 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
137 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
138 use define-public to export from the module.
140 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
142 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
143 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
144 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
146 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
148 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
150 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
152 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
153 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
155 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
157 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
159 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
161 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
163 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
165 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
166 long_long uniform vectors.
168 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
170 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
171 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
173 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
175 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
176 script to create generated files like this one.
178 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
180 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
181 available before using getpw and getuid.
182 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
183 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
185 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
186 check for .guile, instead of stat.
187 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
189 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
190 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
191 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
193 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
194 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
196 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
198 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
200 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
203 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
204 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
206 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
208 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
210 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
211 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
212 ("position"): New command.
213 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
214 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
215 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
216 to return a valid state.)
217 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
219 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
221 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
222 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
225 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
227 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
228 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
230 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
232 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
234 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
236 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
237 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
239 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
240 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
241 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
243 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
246 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
248 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
249 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
251 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
253 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
255 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
256 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
257 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
258 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
260 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
263 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
264 both forward and backward views of the stack
265 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
266 Use selector `frame-number';
267 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
268 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
270 Use readline conditionally.
272 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
274 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
275 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
276 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
278 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
279 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
282 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
284 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
286 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
288 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
290 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
292 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
294 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
295 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
296 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
297 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
298 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
299 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
300 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
301 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
302 libguile-config-stamp.
303 * version.scm.in: Delete.
304 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
305 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
306 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
307 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
309 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
311 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
312 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
313 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
315 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
316 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
317 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
318 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
321 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
323 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
325 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
327 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
329 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
330 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
332 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
334 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
335 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
336 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
337 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
338 objects starting with '#/'.
340 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
342 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
343 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
344 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
345 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
346 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
347 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
349 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
350 module-modified): New procedures.
351 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
352 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
354 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
356 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
359 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
361 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
362 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
363 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
365 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
368 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
370 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
371 at multiple calls to read.
372 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
373 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
374 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
375 continued-lines prompt.
377 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
380 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
382 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
383 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
385 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
387 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
388 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
391 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
393 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
394 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
396 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
397 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
398 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
399 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
400 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
403 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
405 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
406 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
408 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
410 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
411 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
412 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
413 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
415 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
417 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
419 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
420 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
421 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
424 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
426 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
427 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
428 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
429 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
430 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
431 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
432 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
433 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
434 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
435 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
436 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
438 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
440 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
441 peeked from the stream.
442 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
443 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
444 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
446 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
448 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
449 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
451 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
453 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
454 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
455 exiting repl with single control-D.
457 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
459 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
460 error catching loop after quit received.
461 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
463 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
464 primitive exit if non-interactive.
465 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
467 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
468 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
470 * popen.scm: new file.
472 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
474 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
475 (reverse-iota): removed.
477 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
479 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
480 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
482 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
484 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
485 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
486 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
487 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
488 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
490 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
492 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
494 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
495 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
497 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
498 Guile's module system.
500 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
502 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
503 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
504 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
505 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
506 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
507 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
509 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
510 '() when the condition is false.
512 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
514 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
516 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
518 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
520 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
522 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
523 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
524 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
526 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
528 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
529 argument order for hash-fold.
531 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
533 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
535 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
536 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
538 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
539 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
540 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
541 has been added to the load path).
545 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
547 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
548 module between system and user state.
550 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
552 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
554 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
557 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
559 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
560 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
561 system can create a wrapper class for it.
563 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
565 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
566 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
567 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
568 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
569 stack frame encountered.
571 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
572 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
573 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
574 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
577 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
578 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
579 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
580 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
583 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
584 define-module switches:
589 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
592 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
593 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
594 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
595 module it is a system frame.
597 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
598 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
599 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
600 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
601 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
603 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
604 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
605 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
606 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
607 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
608 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
610 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
612 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
613 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
615 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
616 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
617 closure to the module.
619 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
621 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
623 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
625 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
627 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
629 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
631 Fix from Russ McManus:
632 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
633 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
634 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
635 either an optional or required value.
637 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
639 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
641 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
642 of the '() key, not `rest'.
644 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
645 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
646 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
647 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
649 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
651 * optargs.scm: New file.
652 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
653 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
655 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
657 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
658 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
659 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
661 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
663 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
664 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
667 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
669 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
671 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
673 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
674 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
675 applied to the module itself.
677 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
679 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
681 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
682 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
684 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
686 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
688 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
690 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
692 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
694 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
695 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
697 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
699 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
700 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
701 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
702 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
703 among BINDINGS is referenced.
704 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
705 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
707 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
709 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
710 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
712 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
714 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
715 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
718 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
720 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
722 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
724 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
726 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
728 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
729 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
730 adapt to the new hooks.
732 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
734 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
735 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
736 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
738 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
739 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
741 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
742 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
743 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
744 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
745 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
746 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
747 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
748 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
749 first to register linked modules.
751 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
752 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
753 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
755 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
756 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
757 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
758 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
760 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
762 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
765 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
766 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
767 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
769 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
771 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
772 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
773 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
775 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
777 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
778 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
779 result of the last form.
781 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
783 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
786 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
788 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
789 readline-set!: New options interface.
791 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
793 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
795 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
796 at the end of boot-9.scm.
798 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
800 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
801 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
803 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
805 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
807 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
809 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
810 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
812 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
814 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
816 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
818 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
821 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
823 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
824 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
826 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
828 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
830 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
831 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
832 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
834 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
835 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
837 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
838 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
839 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
841 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
842 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
843 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
844 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
845 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
846 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
848 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
850 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
851 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
853 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
855 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
856 and short vectors #h(...).
858 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
860 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
861 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
862 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
864 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
866 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
867 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
868 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
870 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
872 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
873 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
875 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
876 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
877 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
878 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
880 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
882 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
885 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
886 order to allow the empty list as arg.
887 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
888 context with traps enabled.
890 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
892 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
894 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
896 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
898 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
899 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
900 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
901 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
902 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
904 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
906 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
907 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
909 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
911 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
913 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
915 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
917 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
919 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
921 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
923 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
924 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
926 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
928 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
929 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
930 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
931 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
934 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
935 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
936 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
938 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
940 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
941 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
942 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
943 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
944 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
945 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
946 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
948 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
950 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
952 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
954 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
955 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
956 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
957 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
958 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
959 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
961 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
963 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
964 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
965 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
968 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
970 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
972 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
974 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
976 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
978 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
981 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
983 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
985 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
987 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
988 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
990 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
992 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
993 similar in use to `use-modules'.
994 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
995 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
997 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
998 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1000 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1002 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1004 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1006 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1007 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1010 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1011 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1013 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1014 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1015 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1017 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1019 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1021 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1023 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1024 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1026 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1028 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1030 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1032 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
1033 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1035 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1037 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
1040 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1042 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1043 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1045 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1047 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1049 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1051 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
1054 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1056 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1057 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
1058 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1059 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1060 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1063 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1065 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1066 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1067 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1069 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1071 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1073 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1074 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1076 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1078 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1079 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1080 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1081 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1082 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1083 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1084 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1087 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1089 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1092 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1094 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1095 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1096 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1097 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1098 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1099 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1101 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1103 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1104 usefully so they will work from a script.
1106 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1108 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1109 neighborhood of the record code.
1111 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1113 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1114 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1115 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1116 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1118 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1120 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1121 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1122 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1124 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1126 Add support for readline function.
1127 * readline.scm: New module.
1128 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1129 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1130 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1132 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1133 repl-reader to use them.
1134 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1136 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1138 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1140 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1141 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1143 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1145 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1146 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1147 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1149 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1151 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
1152 #f, abort terminates the process.
1153 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1154 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1156 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1158 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1159 print-state, throw it away.
1161 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1163 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1166 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1168 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1169 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1170 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1171 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1173 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1174 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1176 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1178 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1180 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1182 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1183 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1184 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1185 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1186 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1188 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1189 distribution and installation.

1196 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1198 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1199 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1200 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1202 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1203 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1206 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1208 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1210 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1212 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1214 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1215 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1216 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1217 field a separate argument.
1219 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1221 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1223 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1225 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1229 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1231 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1233 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1235 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1236 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1237 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1238 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1239 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1240 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1242 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1243 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1244 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1245 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1246 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1249 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1251 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

1256 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1258 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1260 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1262 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1263 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1264 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1265 expansion inside the slib module.
1267 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1269 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1270 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

1275 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1277 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1278 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1279 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1281 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1282 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1285 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1287 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1288 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1290 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1292 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1293 (make-module): Modified initialization.
1294 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1295 mutator for module-associated transformer.
1296 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1297 `scm:eval-transformer'.
1298 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1299 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current

1305 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1307 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1308 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1309 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1310 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1311 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1313 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1314 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1315 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1317 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1318 the syncase interface.
1320 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1322 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1323 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1324 workings of the current module system).
1326 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1328 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1329 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1332 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1334 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1335 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1336 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1338 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1340 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1341 according to the following priorities:
1342 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1343 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1345 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1346 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1347 (new-interpreter): New function.
1349 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1350 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1351 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1353 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1355 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1357 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1359 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
1361 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1363 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1365 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
1367 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1369 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1370 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
1373 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1375 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1376 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
1377 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
1378 symbols matching regexp.
1380 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
1381 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1384 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1385 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1386 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1387 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1388 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1390 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1391 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1393 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1395 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1396 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1398 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1399 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1401 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1403 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1405 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1406 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1407 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1409 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1411 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1412 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
1413 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1415 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1417 * session.scm: New file: Session support.
1418 (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.

1425 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1427 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1428 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1429 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1431 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1432 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1435 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1436 order to narrow it correctly.
1437 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1439 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1441 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
1442 (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
1444 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1446 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1448 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1450 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1451 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1453 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1455 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1456 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1457 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1459 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1461 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1464 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1466 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,

1472 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1474 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1475 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1478 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.

1491 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1492 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1493 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1494 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1495 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1496 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1498 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1499 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1500 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1501 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1503 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1505 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1506 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1507 sending in bug reports.
1508 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1509 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1510 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1511 display a warning if the two are different.
1512 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1513 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1514 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1516 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1518 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1520 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1522 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1523 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1525 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1526 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1527 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1528 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1529 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1530 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1533 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1534 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1537 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1538 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1540 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1543 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1546 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1548 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1551 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1553 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1554 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1556 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1558 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1559 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1560 to support printing of structures.
1561 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1562 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1563 commented out printing code.
1564 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1565 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1567 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1569 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1571 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

1574 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1575 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1576 during call to scm-style-repl.
1578 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1580 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1581 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1582 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1583 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1584 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1586 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1588 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1589 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1592 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1594 * regex.scm: New file.
1595 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1596 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1598 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1600 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1601 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1602 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1603 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1605 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1607 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1610 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1612 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1613 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1614 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1616 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1618 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1619 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1622 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1624 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1626 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1628 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1630 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1632 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1633 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1636 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1638 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1639 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1640 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1642 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1644 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1645 the Scheme code like code yet.
1646 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1648 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1650 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1651 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1652 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1654 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1656 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1658 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1661 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1663 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1665 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1667 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1669 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1670 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1671 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1673 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1675 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1676 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1677 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1679 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1681 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1682 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1684 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1686 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1689 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1691 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1693 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1695 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1696 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1698 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1700 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1701 instead of in libguile.
1702 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1703 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1705 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1707 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1709 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1710 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1712 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1714 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1715 sockaddr:port): new functions.
1717 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1719 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1720 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1721 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1722 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1724 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1726 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1727 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1729 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1731 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1733 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1735 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1736 keywords and symbols.
1738 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1740 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1742 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1743 Don't define read-sharp.
1745 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1746 (read-sharp): removed.
1747 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1748 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1750 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1752 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1754 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
1755 primitive procedure.)
1757 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1758 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1760 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1762 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1764 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1766 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1768 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1770 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1772 * (exit): alias for quit.
1774 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1776 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1777 return the quit args.
1778 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1779 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1780 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1782 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1784 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1786 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1788 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1789 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1791 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1792 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1794 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1795 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1798 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1800 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1802 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1803 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1804 Change hooks to use these functions.
1806 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1807 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1808 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1810 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1811 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1812 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1813 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1814 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1815 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1816 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1819 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1820 and exit-frame exceptions.
1822 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1823 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1824 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1825 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1826 result; otherwise display "> ".
1827 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1829 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1830 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1831 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1832 repository version runnable.
1834 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1836 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1837 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1838 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1839 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1840 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1841 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1843 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1845 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1846 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1848 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1850 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1851 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1853 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1855 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1857 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1859 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1862 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1864 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1865 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1867 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1869 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1872 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1874 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1875 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1877 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1879 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1881 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1882 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1883 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1884 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1885 dynamic linking of modules.
1886 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1887 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1889 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1891 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1893 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1895 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1898 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1899 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1902 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1904 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1905 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1906 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1908 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1910 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1911 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1914 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1916 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1917 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1918 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1920 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1922 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1923 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1924 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1925 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1927 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1928 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1929 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1930 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1931 (such as the-scm-module).
1933 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1935 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1938 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1940 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1941 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1942 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1944 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1946 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1947 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1948 function, use it accordingly.
1950 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1952 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1953 function of no arguments.
1954 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1955 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1956 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1957 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1958 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1959 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1960 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1961 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1963 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1965 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1966 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1968 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1970 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1971 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1972 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1973 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1974 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1976 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1979 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1980 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1981 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1982 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1984 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1986 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1988 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1989 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1990 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1992 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1995 Added `before-read-hook'.
1997 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1999 (provide): New function.
2001 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2004 (backtrace): New function.
2006 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2007 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2008 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
2009 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2010 is found in operator position in a frame.
2012 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2015 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2016 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2017 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2019 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
2021 (library-vicinity): Updated.
2023 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2025 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2027 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2029 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2031 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2032 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
2034 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2035 so they'll get distributed.
2037 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
2038 should see as little clutter as possible.
2039 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2040 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2041 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2043 * r4rs.scm: New file.
2044 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2045 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2046 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2047 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2048 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2049 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2050 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2051 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2052 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2054 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2055 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2057 * test.scm: New file.
2059 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2060 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
2061 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2063 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2064 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2066 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2068 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2069 call %load-announce.
2071 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2073 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2074 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2075 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2077 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2079 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2081 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2082 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2083 SCSH (which this isn't).
2085 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2087 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2089 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2091 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2092 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2093 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2095 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2096 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2097 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2098 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2101 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2103 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2105 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2107 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2108 error-catching-loop.
2109 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2110 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2111 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2113 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2114 error-catching-loop.
2116 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2118 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2119 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2120 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2121 should be '(), not #f.
2123 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2124 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2126 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2128 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2129 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2132 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2134 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2135 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2136 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2137 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2139 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2141 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2143 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2145 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2147 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2148 throw-handler-default.
2149 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2151 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2153 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2154 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2156 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2158 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2159 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2160 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2161 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2163 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2165 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2166 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2167 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2168 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2170 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2171 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2172 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2173 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2176 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2178 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2180 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2183 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2186 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2188 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2190 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2191 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2193 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2195 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2197 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2199 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2201 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2202 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2203 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2204 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2205 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2207 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2208 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2209 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2210 they seem redundant.
2211 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2212 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2213 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2214 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2215 directly files starting with "/").
2216 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2217 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2219 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2221 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2223 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2224 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2225 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2226 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2227 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2228 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2229 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2230 robust to just do it in the C code.
2232 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2234 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2235 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2236 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2237 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2238 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2240 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2242 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2243 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2244 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2246 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2248 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2249 system-error, not every kind of error.
2250 (scm-error): new procedure.
2252 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2254 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2256 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2258 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2259 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2260 of args are supplied.
2261 (%%system-errors): removed.
2262 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2263 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2264 %%handle-system-error.
2265 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2266 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2267 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2268 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2270 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2272 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2273 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2274 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2275 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2277 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2279 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2280 the empty list if they are #f.
2281 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2283 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2285 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2287 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2288 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2289 aborting, just the key and subr.
2290 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2291 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2292 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2294 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2296 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2297 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2298 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2299 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2300 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2302 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2304 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2305 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2306 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2307 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2309 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2311 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2312 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2313 initialize %load-path.
2315 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2316 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2318 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2320 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2321 Add the directory named after the version number.
2322 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2323 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2324 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2325 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2326 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2327 (install): Create the above directories.
2328 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2329 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2331 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2333 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2334 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2335 in the Makefile directly.
2336 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2338 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2340 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2341 here, where people expect to find them.
2343 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2345 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2346 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2348 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2350 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2352 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2353 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2355 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2357 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2358 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2360 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2361 weak-key-hash-table.
2363 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2365 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2366 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2367 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2368 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2369 (%open-file): removed.
2370 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2371 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2373 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2375 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2376 (manifest): Deleted.
2377 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2378 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2380 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2382 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2383 now that they throw errors directly.
2384 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2385 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2387 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2389 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2391 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
2393 * The more things change...
