1 2004-11-10 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
3 * arrays.scm (uniform-vector-read!, uniform-vector-write):
6 2004-11-05 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
8 * boot-9.scm: Do not add "." to %load-path. 'load' will still be
9 able to load files in the current directory, but 'use-modules' etc
12 2004-10-29 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
14 * arrays.scm: Do not install read-hash procedure for reading
15 arrays, this is done in libguile now.
17 2004-10-27 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
19 * arrays.scm (uniform-vector?, uniform-vector-set!): Removed, now
22 2004-10-26 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
24 * boot-9.scm: Added srfi-4 to cond-expand features.
26 2004-10-18 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
28 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Simplified considerably by using
29 object->string or display instead of implementing our own printer.
30 Handle format:read-proof here. Unreadable objects are recognized
31 by their "#<" prefix instead of by being unknown to the custom
32 printer (which would treat keywords as unprintable, for example).
33 (format:iobj->str): Removed.
35 2004-10-04 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
37 * boot-9.scm (symbol->keyword, keyword->symbol): Removed, they are
40 2004-09-26 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
42 * optargs.scm (let-optional-template, let-keywords-template): Change
43 "(begin body)" to "(let () body)" for empty bindings, since the former
44 allows "internal defines" in body leak out to the surrounding
47 2004-09-23 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
49 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Pass rest argument to
50 display-backtrace for wrong-type-arg and out-of-range errors so
51 that the bad value gets highlighted.
53 2004-09-04 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
55 * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): Correction, should recurse into
56 itself, not stream-for-each-one.
58 * time.scm (time-proc): Make result inexact, since format ~f doesn't
59 support fractions currently.
61 2004-09-08 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
63 * boot-9.scm (expt): Only call integer-expt for an exact integer
64 exponent, not for an inexact integer one. Also, let integer-expt
65 handle negative exponents instead of doing it here.
67 2004-09-02 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
69 * format.scm (format:out): Ignore excess arguments, per common lisp.
71 * format.scm (format:out-num-padded): Print "+" on 0 under @ modifier.
73 2004-08-27 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
75 * regex.scm (regexp-quote): [ and | must be quoted. Quote ( ) { + ?
76 using char class [(] etc since \( in fact makes them become special in
79 2004-08-25 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
81 * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Give #t for an empty body, per srfi-2
82 spec, previously came out as an empty (begin).
84 2004-08-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
86 * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Added srfi-13 and srfi-14.
88 2004-08-20 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
90 * debugger/utils.scm (display-source): Use unmemoize-expr instead
92 (write-frame-short/expression): Likewise.
94 2004-08-18 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
96 * and-let-star.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-2, since this module
97 provides that feature.
98 * receive.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-8, since this module
99 provides that feature.
101 2004-08-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
103 From Matthias Koeppe. Thanks!
105 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): In the local procedure `wr', use
106 object->string to print all data (except for the reader macros),
107 rather than implementing an own printer. The user-visible
108 difference is that procedures and control characters like #\tab
109 are now printed in the same way as by `write'.
111 2004-08-09 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
113 * slib.scm (*features*): Remove array and array-for-each, core
114 definitions are insufficient for latest slib.
115 (t, nil): New constants slib says are supposed to exist.
116 (call-with-open-ports, browse-url): New functions for latest slib.
117 Implementations taken from Template.scm (public domain).
118 (open-file): Extend core definition to accept symbols for the mode,
119 required by latest slib.
120 (delete-file): Replace core definition with version returning #t/#f as
122 (system): Mark as #:replace to suppress override warning, use new
123 style "(@ (guile) system)" to call core function.
125 2004-05-25 Matthias Koeppe <mkoeppe@mail.math.uni-magdeburg.de>
127 * format.scm: Remove the arbitrary limit of 100 iterations for the
128 ~{...~} control structure.
130 2004-07-10 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
132 * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Remove unused variable "val".
133 * pretty-print.scm (read-macro-prefix): Remove unused variable "tail".
135 * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Add srfi-6 which is in the core.
137 * safe-r5rs.scm (re-export): Uncomment numerator, denominator,
138 rationalize, since they now exist.
140 2004-07-05 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
142 * slib.scm (system): Correction to redefinition, now guile is stricter
143 about when a define binding comes into existance.
145 2004-05-29 Dirk Herrmann <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
147 * boot-9.scm: Reordered definitions such that macro definitions
148 preceed their first usage. Include and define deprecated stuff
149 late in the file to have a better change of detecting accidental
150 uses of deprecated definitions. Further, unified the layout a
151 little and grouped definitions more cleanly into topics.
153 2004-05-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
155 * history.scm (use-value-history): Use resolve-interface instead
156 of resolve-module so that only the exported bindings are searched.
157 (save-value-history): Export the newly defined variable. Reported
158 by Wolfgang Jaehrling.
160 2004-05-04 Dirk Herrmann <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
162 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): Always start searching from the
163 root module. This will allow the C equivalent scm_resolve_module
164 to work, independent of what the current module is.
166 2004-02-18 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
168 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Make the (guile-user) module use the
171 2004-02-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
173 * boot-9.scm (module-map): Renamed hash-map -> hash-map->list.
175 2004-02-09 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
177 * debugger/trap-hooks.scm (debug-hook-membership): New, exported.
179 * debugger/commands.scm (debug-trap-hooks): New, exported.
181 2004-02-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
183 * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES),
184 debugger/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES), Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES): Use
185 this variable instead of ETAGS_ARGS so that TAGS can be built
186 using separate build directory.
188 2004-01-20 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
190 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Back out 2003-11-19 change to
191 lazy-handler-dispatch lookup.
193 2004-01-12 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
195 * mapping.scm: Use '#:' prefix for keywords instead of ':'.
196 Thanks to Richard Todd!
198 2004-01-11 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
200 * slib.scm (system): New function, giving an exit code return in
201 accordance with slib spec.
203 Revert this, it breaks test-suite/tests/r5rs_pitfalls.test where
204 false-if-exception is used within syntax-rules. (Suspect syntax-rules
205 ought to support this sort of thing, but it doesn't right now.)
206 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
207 to depend on expansion environment.
209 2004-01-07 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
211 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): Use with-fluid* when only one fluid is
214 2004-01-07 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
216 * q.scm (q-pop!): Should be "null?" not "not" for end-of-list.
217 Reported by Richard Todd.
219 2004-01-04 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
221 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
222 to depend on expansion environment.
224 * slib.scm (-1+, <?, <=?, =?, >?, >=?): Define as aliases for 1-, <,
225 <=, =, >, >= respectively, required by slib 'rev2-procedures but no
226 longer in the guile core.
228 2003-11-19 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
230 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Defer lookup of
231 lazy-handler-dispatch.
233 2003-11-17 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
235 * boot-9.scm (@, @@): New macros.
237 2003-11-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
239 * boot-9.scm: Started comment about module system workings.
241 2003-11-11 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
243 * debugger.scm: Change ui-* calls to gds-*.
244 (debug-on-error): Debug if throw key is in specified syms, not if
245 it isn't! Also throw 'abort after debugging, so as to skip the
248 * debugger/behaviour.scm (*trap*): New variable, stores trap type.
249 (before-enter-frame-hook, before-apply-frame-hook,
250 before-exit-frame-hook): Set here.
251 (debug-if-flag-set): Passed into flags on debug-stack call.
252 (at-step, at-next): Changed to debug at frame exit points as well.
254 * debugger/utils.scm: Big comment added.
256 2003-10-30 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
258 * debugger/ui-client.scm: Moved to ../emacs/gds-client.scm.
260 2003-10-16 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
262 * debugger/ui-client.scm (ui-connect): Add arg to say whether to
263 debug immediately on connection.
264 (ui-eval): Handle exceptions during read and evaluation.
266 * debugger.scm (debug-on-error, default-default-lazy-handler):
267 Remove an unnecessary level of indirection in calling lazy
270 2003-10-12 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
272 * ftw.scm (directory-files): Close dir-stream when done. Thanks
275 2003-10-09 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
277 * poe.scm (funcq-assoc): Rewrite, don't assume '() is false, and
278 actually traverse the given alist.
280 2003-10-06 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
282 * debugger/ui-client.scm (handle-instruction): Add evaluation
286 2003-10-04 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
288 * debugger/ui-client.scm (ui-disable-async-thread,
289 ui-continue-async-thread, start-async-ui-thread): New.
290 (ui-command-loop): Call ui-disable-async-thread and
291 ui-continue-async-thread.
292 (handle-instruction): Read terminating newline char so it doesn't
293 cause following select to pop immediately.
295 2003-09-25 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
297 * debugger/ui-client.scm, debugger/ui-server.scm: New (work in
298 progress on new debugging front end).
300 2003-09-24 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
302 * debugger.scm (default-default-lazy-handler, debug-on-error):
305 * debugger/behaviour.scm (debug-if-flag-set): Display debug entry
306 messages through (debugger-output-port).
307 (after-exit-frame-hook): Trace through (debugger-output-port).
308 (trace-here): Trace through (debugger-output-port).
310 * debugger/commands.scm (evaluate): If supplied expression is a
311 string, read from it before evaluating.
312 (evaluate): Change output format to "EXPR => VALUE".
314 2003-09-19 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
316 * popen.scm (open-process): Correction to previous fdes closing
317 change, need to watch out for stdin==stderr or stdout==stderr.
319 2003-09-15 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
321 * format.scm (format): Rewritten as a big letrec to make it
322 reentrant. No mutex is necessary. Thanks to Clinton Ebadi!
324 2003-09-13 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
326 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?): Use stat rather than access?, so as to
327 follow the effective UID/GID not the real ID. file-exists? is
328 normally used as a prelude to opening or some other operation, and
329 it's the effective ID which will apply there. Emacs file-exists-p
330 uses stat, presumably for the the same reason.
332 2003-09-12 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
334 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Use a proper hashtable as
335 the obarray, not an empty vector.
336 (make-module): Always construct a hashtable for the obarray, even
339 * format.scm (format:error): Use 'format:format' instead of
340 'format' since the latter will lock the mutex again that we have
342 (format:format-work): Flag multiple '#' as an error.
344 2003-08-17 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
346 * boot-9.scm (while): Use a new key dynamically for each loop, so
347 break and continue associate to their loop even when recursing.
349 2003-08-14 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
351 * boot-9.scm (while): Rewrite, continue as proper escape, break
352 without return value, break and continue new for each while form,
353 don't depend on bindings in expansion environment.
355 * popen.scm (open-process): Close input-fdes, output-fdes and
356 error-fdes after duping them to 0, 1 and 2.
358 2003-06-19 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
360 * threads.scm (parallel): For no forms, use `(values)' not `(begin)'.
362 2003-05-27 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
364 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Added missing quote around
367 2003-05-20 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
369 * deprecated.scm (list*): Added.
371 2003-05-10 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
373 * documentation.scm (file-commentary, find-documentation-in-file): Use
374 call-with-input-file, to close ports when done.
376 2003-05-03 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
378 * gap-buffer.scm (point++n!, point+-n!): Use substring-move!
379 instead of substring-move-left! or substring-move-right!. Thanks
382 * deprecated.scm (substring-move-left!, substring-move-right!):
385 * boot-9.scm (display-usage-report): Use keyword->symbol instead
386 of keyword-symbol, which doesn't exist. Thanks to Kevin Ryde.
388 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-get-handle): Pass only the expected four
389 arguments to hashx-get-handle. Thanks to Kevin Ryde!
391 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port) Pass 0 as second
392 argument to string-ref. Thanks to Kevin Ryde!
394 2003-04-25 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
396 * serialize.scm: New file.
398 2003-04-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
400 * threads.scm (n-for-each-par-map): New procedure.
402 2003-04-05 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
404 * Changed license terms to the plain LGPL thru-out.
406 2003-03-26 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
408 * deprecated.scm: New file, to collect deprecated things.
409 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added.
411 * boot-9.scm: Load "ice-9/deprecated.scm" when appropriate.
412 (try-load-module): Also try the old deprecated method, maybe.
414 2003-03-22 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
416 * boot-9.scm (call/cc): Added.
418 2003-03-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
420 * list.scm: New file.
422 2003-03-19 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
424 * format.scm (format:out-substr): Update the column counter
425 correctly. This fixes the behavior of ~T (tabbing) after ~F, for
426 instance. Thanks to Matthias Koeppe!
428 2003-03-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
430 * session.scm (apropos): Don't look in duplicates interface.
432 2003-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
434 * boot-9.scm (duplicate-handlers): Make sure the merge-generics
435 and merge-accessors handlers are available also before (oop goops)
436 has been loaded. This is so that people can put them as default
437 handlers without worrying about availability.
439 * slib.scm (logical:ipow-by-squaring): Removed.
441 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring): Removed.

455 (module-duplicates-handlers, module-duplicates-interface): New.
456 (module-type): Added duplicates-handlers and
457 duplicates-interface.
459 * syncase.scm (eval): Mark as replacement.
461 * boot-9.scm (defmacro-public): Use export-syntax instead of export.
463 * slib.scm (*features*): Set the core variable instead of defining
465 (provide, provided?): Mark as replacements.
467 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't install the duplicates
469 (default-duplicate-binding-handler): Renamed from
470 default-module-duplicates-handler; Removed converter.
471 (process-duplicates): Lookup default duplicates handler dynamically.
472 (default-duplicate-binding-procedures): New parameter.
474 2003-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
476 * slib.scm (identity): Removed. (Provided by core.)
478 2003-03-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
480 * debugger/command-loop.scm: Prefix all commands imported from
481 (ice-9 debugger command-loop) with debugger:.
483 * boot-9.scm (process-duplicates): Use module-import-interface.
484 (module-symbol-interface): Removed.
485 (resolve-interface): Process #:hide; Name custom interfaces
487 (module-use!, module-use-interfaces!): Remove existing interfaces
488 on the use-list based on module name rather than interface
489 identity so that custom interfaces truly replaces their previous
492 * boot-9.scm (module-override!, make-mutable-parameter,
493 lookup-duplicates-handlers, default-module-duplicates-handler):
495 (process-duplicates): Don't call duplicates handlers for duplicate
496 bindings of the same variable.
497 (process-define-module): Process #:replace.
498 (compile-interface-spec, resolve-interface): Process #:prefix.
500 * format.scm (format): Marked as replacement.
502 * threads.scm (future, future-ref): Marked as replacements.
504 2003-03-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
506 These changes enables checking for duplicate imported bindings.
508 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Handle #:duplicates.
509 (module-use-interfaces! process-duplicates): New functions.
510 (duplicate-handlers): Dictionary of duplicate handlers.
511 (module-symbol-local-binding, module-symbol-binding): Bugfix.
513 2003-03-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
515 * session.scm (apropos): Use hash-for-each instead of
518 2003-02-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
520 * boot-9.scm (make-module): Changed default size from 1021 to 31
521 (since the size now adapts).
522 (macro-table, xformer-table): Changed default size from 523 to 61.
523 (make-module): Don't call make-hash-table with zero size.
525 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added weak-vector.scm.
527 * weak-vector.scm: New file.
529 * boot-9.scm (module-clear!): Use hash-clear!.
530 (module-for-each): Use hash-for-each.
531 (module-map): Use hash-map.
533 2003-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
535 * boot-9.scm (make-hash-table): Turned primitive.
537 2003-01-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
539 * syncase.scm (guile-macro): Strip syntactic information from
540 expression before trying to treat it as a Guile macro call.
541 (Thanks to Kevin Ryde.)
543 2003-01-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
545 * threads.scm (parallel, letpar): Rewritten.
547 2003-01-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
549 * threads.scm (par-mapper, n-par-map, n-par-for-each): Use
552 2003-01-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
554 * occam-channel.scm (alt): New syntax.
556 * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Removed. Guile now provides this
557 operator as a primitive procedure.
558 (build-data): Quote vectors (psyntax.ss requires this).
560 2003-01-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
562 * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Allow procedures implanted in
563 source. (Guile uses this internally.)
565 2003-01-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
567 * psyntax.ss (build-data): Don't quote self-evaluating expressions
568 in output. (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be
569 quoted, but until Guile's native macros and syncase cooperates
570 better, it is less destructive not to quote.)
571 (self-evaluating?): Removed null? (In Guile, the empty list is not
573 (sc-chi): Export chi as sc-chi.
574 (external-macro): New syntax type.
576 * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
578 * compile-psyntax.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure.
580 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Return *unspecified*.
582 * syncase.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure to
583 the-syncase-eval-closure during booting so that variables are
584 created in the correct module.

686 2002-11-07 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

871 Thanks to Christopher Cramer.
873 2002-02-24 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
875 * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
876 properties. This is in preparation for changing the future public
877 gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
879 * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.
881 2002-02-07 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@giblet.glug.org>

893 * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
894 datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
895 syntax-object, is an identifier. This was a unconvenient and
896 unnecessary restriction. Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
898 2002-01-12 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
900 More options for pretty-print. Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
902 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
903 (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is

931 syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
932 `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'

938 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
941 2001-10-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
943 * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
944 of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
945 the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
946 interfering with parsing of numbers.)
948 2001-10-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
950 * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,

1019 2001-08-30 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>

1027 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public

1047 * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
1049 (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
1050 value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
1051 next element is to be taken as the option arg.
1053 2001-07-31 Keisuke Nishida <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
1055 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not

1069 * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
1071 2001-07-18 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

1080 primitives. Thanks Neil!
1082 2001-07-13 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1084 * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
1085 re-exported core bindings. Do not re-export `numerator',
1086 `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
1087 Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
1089 * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
1090 core bindings. Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'

1094 argument is "renamer" not "rename".
1096 2001-07-09 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

1106 2001-06-30 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1108 * arrays.scm: Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b': #b
1109 is already defined by R5RS. Further, there is already a working
1110 read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
1112 2001-06-30 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1114 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.

1130 * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
1131 was a cut-n-paste error previously.
1133 2001-06-26 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1135 * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
1136 Don't reset trace-level to 0.
1138 * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
1139 apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler. (They're replaced by
1140 evaluator trap options.)
1142 2001-06-25 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1144 * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.
1146 2001-06-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

1174 Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
1178 2001-06-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1180 * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
1181 `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
1182 rdelim) module. See below.
1184 2001-06-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1186 * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
1187 include-deprecated-features is true.
1189 2001-06-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1191 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
1194 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
1195 real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
1196 Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1198 * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
1199 (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
1200 `port', if it has one. Else leave it alone. Thanks to Matthias
1203 2001-06-05 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1205 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
1206 `module-ensure-variable!'. Make sure that there really is a local
1207 variable, not just a visible one.
1208 (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
1209 (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
1210 enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable. When
1211 deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
1212 creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
1213 (module-re-export!): New. Use this for re-exporting imported
1215 (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
1217 * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
1218 re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
1220 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1222 * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
1223 instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
1225 2001-06-04 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1227 * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
1229 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1231 Added exception notice to all files.
1233 * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change. It
1234 caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
1235 importing bindings once in a while.
1237 2001-06-03 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1239 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
1240 and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
1241 (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1242 registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
1243 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
1244 find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
1245 try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
1246 try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated. Activate deprecation
1248 (define-public): Define binding before exporting it. This is to
1249 avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
1251 2001-06-02 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1253 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
1254 fix command so that it works.
1256 * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
1257 to access unbound variables.
1259 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
1260 (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
1261 export. Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
1262 the value over, and export the new variable. This confused
1263 syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
1265 2001-06-01 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1267 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
1268 When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules. Add
1269 them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
1270 (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
1271 (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
1272 (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
1273 argument for process-define-module.
1274 (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
1275 arguments for process-use-modules.
1276 (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
1278 2001-05-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1280 * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
1281 `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
1282 Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
1285 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
1286 * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
1287 (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
1289 * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.
1291 2001-05-23 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1293 * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules

1310 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
1311 deprecated features have been removed. Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
1313 * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
1316 2001-05-19 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1318 * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
1319 * match.scm: Likewise.
1320 * expect.scm: Likewise.
1321 * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
1323 * rdelim.scm: Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
1325 * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
1327 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
1329 (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
1330 (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
1331 load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here. Do it on
1332 top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
1333 (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
1334 element list when adding "." to it.
1335 (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
1336 dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.

1340 * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
1342 (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
1343 now accepts arg; update callers.
1344 Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
1345 consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
1347 * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
1348 Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
1349 Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
1350 (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
1351 `search-documentation-files'.
1352 (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
1353 instead of `(lambda (x) x)'. "An identity edit", ha ha.
1354 (help-usage): Mention support for "(help 'NAME)".
1356 * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
1357 Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.

1380 * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
1382 (apropos-fold): Likewise.
1384 * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed. We should not play games with
1385 the magical undefined value.
1386 (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
1387 the default default for bindings.
1389 * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
1390 make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
1391 (root-module-closure): Removed.
1392 (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
1393 `pre-modules-obarray'. Do not use a lazy binder.

1400 (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
1401 towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
1402 set-current-module that boots the module system. These

1404 `set-current-module' call.
1405 (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
1406 set-current-module. It is redefined later.

1727 2001-02-08 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
1729 * and-let-star-compat.scm: Display the warning to the
1730 `current-error-port'.
1732 2001-02-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1734 Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
1737 * and-let-star.scm, and-let*.scm: Renamed `and-let*.scm' to
1738 `and-let-star.scm'. Updated module name as well.
1739 * and-let-star-compat.scm: New file, installed as `and-let*.scm'.
1740 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced "and-let*.scm" with
1742 (install-data-local): Install "and-let-star-compat.scm" as
1743 "and-let*.scm", ignoring errors.
1744 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute `and-let-star-compat.scm'.
1746 2001-01-26 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1748 This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
1749 the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
1751 * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): New macro. Allows to
1752 conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
1754 (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
1755 readline-set!): Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
1757 2001-01-24 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1759 * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here. it's done
1761 * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
1762 * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
1764 2001-01-21 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1766 * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
1767 * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
1768 read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
1769 scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
1770 * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
1772 * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
1773 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
1775 2000-12-29 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1777 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
1778 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
1779 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1780 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1781 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1782 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1783 for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
1785 2000-12-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1787 * session.scm (apropos): Completed the last patch, which did only
1788 half the job. Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
1790 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1792 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): There are no weak bindings
1795 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1797 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
1800 2000-12-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1802 * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
1804 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1806 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
1807 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
1808 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
1809 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
1810 split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
1811 split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
1812 split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1813 split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
1814 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
1815 string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
1816 sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
1817 sans-final-newline): Use substring instead of
1818 make-shared-substring.
1820 2000-11-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1822 * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1823 removed. values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1824 the other two were only exported by accident. don't define
1825 *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1828 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1830 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
1831 and open-output-pipe.
1833 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1835 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1836 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1837 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
1838 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
1839 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1840 Pirotte for the bug report).
1841 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1842 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
1844 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1846 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.
1847 Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.
1849 2000-10-15 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1851 * optargs.scm: Fix typos in commentary for bound? and lambda*.
1853 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1855 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): regexp-exec does not
1856 accept symbol arguments any more. Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
1859 2000-09-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1861 * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f. thanks to
1864 2000-09-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1866 * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1867 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1868 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1870 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1871 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1872 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1873 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1874 actual documentation entries themselves.
1876 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1878 * boot-9.scm: Removed comment. (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
1880 2000-09-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1882 * syncase.scm (putprop): Use the high-level property interface.
1884 2000-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1886 * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
1887 Convert first argument to a string.
1889 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
1890 getter-and-setter-syntax,
1891 delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
1892 argument. (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
1894 * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
1896 * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
1898 2000-08-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1900 * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
1902 2000-08-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1904 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
1906 (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1908 (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed. I don't
1909 think I'll announce this in NEWS even. One of the functions never
1910 even worked... /mdj.
1911 (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1913 (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1916 2000-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1918 * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
1921 2000-08-19 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1923 * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
1924 #:allow-other-keys. Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!

1928 * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.
1930 2000-08-16 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1932 * optargs.scm: Replaced `#&' reader syntax with keywords.
1934 2000-08-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1936 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive. (Thanks to
1939 2000-08-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1941 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1942 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
1943 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1944 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1945 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1947 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1949 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1951 * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition. (Is now
1952 provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1954 * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1957 * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1958 record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1959 (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto. (This is actually a bugfix!)
1960 (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1962 * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
1964 * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
1965 (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
1967 * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
1969 * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1970 (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1972 2000-08-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1974 * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1975 definition of module-type.
1977 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1979 * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1981 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1983 (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1984 *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1986 2000-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1988 * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to thi!
1990 2000-07-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1992 * boot-9.scm (expt): In case of negative integer exponents return
1993 an exact result if the input paramters were exact. Thanks to
1994 Mikael for the suggestion.
1996 2000-07-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1998 * boot-9.scm (expt): Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1999 if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
2001 2000-07-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2003 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
2006 2000-06-27 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2008 * popen.scm: gc-thunk is deprecated. Use after-gc-hook instead.
2010 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2012 * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
2013 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber
2016 (delete-if!, delete-if-not!): Renamed parameter from `list' to
2017 `l' in order to avoid confusion. Note: These functions are not
2020 2000-06-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2022 * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
2023 and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
2025 * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
2026 (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
2027 (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
2029 (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
2031 * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
2033 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2035 * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
2036 module graph. (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
2038 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2040 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
2041 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
2043 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2045 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
2046 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
2048 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2050 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
2052 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2054 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
2056 2000-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2058 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
2060 (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
2061 (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
2063 (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
2065 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
2068 * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
2069 (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
2070 (apropos-fold): New procedure.
2071 (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
2074 * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
2076 * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
2078 2000-06-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2080 * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
2081 (write-all): Removed.
2082 (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'. Return
2083 documentation string instead of printing it. Not exported.
2085 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
2087 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
2088 `proc-documentation'
2090 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
2091 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
2092 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
2093 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
2094 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
2095 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
2096 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
2099 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2101 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
2103 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2105 * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
2106 anonymous. Now needed in modules.c.
2107 (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
2110 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
2112 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
2113 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
2114 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
2115 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
2116 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
2117 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
2118 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
2120 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2122 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
2123 accept complex numbers as parameter.
2125 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2127 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
2128 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
2130 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2132 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
2133 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
2134 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
2135 instead of remove-if when iterating.
2136 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
2137 delete-if! when iterating.
2139 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2141 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
2143 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2145 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
2147 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
2149 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
2150 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
2151 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
2152 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
2154 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
2156 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
2157 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
2159 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2161 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
2162 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
2163 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
2164 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
2166 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
2168 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
2169 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
2171 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2173 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
2174 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
2176 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2178 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
2181 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2183 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
2184 source of the numerous very short changes.
2186 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2188 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
2191 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
2194 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2196 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
2199 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2201 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
2202 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
2204 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
2206 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
2209 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
2211 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
2212 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
2213 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
2215 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2217 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
2218 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
2219 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
2220 Narazaki for this change.
2222 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2224 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
2225 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
2228 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
2229 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
2231 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2233 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
2234 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
2236 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2238 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
2239 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
2240 use define-public to export from the module.
2242 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2244 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
2245 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
2246 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
2248 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2250 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
2252 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2254 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
2255 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
2257 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2259 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
2261 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
2263 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
2265 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2267 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
2268 long_long uniform vectors.
2270 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2272 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
2273 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
2275 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2277 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
2278 script to create generated files like this one.
2280 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2282 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
2283 available before using getpw and getuid.
2284 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
2285 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
2287 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
2288 check for .guile, instead of stat.
2289 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
2291 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
2292 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
2293 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
2295 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
2296 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
2298 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
2300 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2302 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
2303 than 'exit-debugger.
2305 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
2306 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.

2310 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2312 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
2313 Mark module with :no-backtrace.

2315 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
2316 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
2317 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
2318 to return a valid state.)

2321 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2323 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
2324 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
2327 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2329 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
2330 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
2332 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2334 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
2336 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
2338 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
2339 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
2341 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
2342 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
2343 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
2345 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
2348 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2350 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
2351 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
2353 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
2355 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2357 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
2358 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
2359 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
2360 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
2362 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
2365 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
2366 both forward and backward views of the stack
2367 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
2368 Use selector `frame-number';
2369 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
2370 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
2372 Use readline conditionally.
2374 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2376 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
2377 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
2378 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
2380 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
2381 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
2384 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2386 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
2388 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
2390 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
2392 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2394 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2396 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
2397 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
2398 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
2399 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
2400 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
2401 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
2402 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
2403 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
2404 libguile-config-stamp.
2405 * version.scm.in: Delete.
2406 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
2407 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
2408 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
2409 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
2411 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2413 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
2414 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
2415 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
2417 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
2418 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
2419 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
2420 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
2423 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
2425 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
2427 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
2429 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2431 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
2432 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
2434 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
2436 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
2437 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
2438 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
2439 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
2440 objects starting with '#/'.
2442 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2444 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
2445 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
2446 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
2447 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
2448 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
2449 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
2451 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
2452 module-modified): New procedures.
2453 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
2454 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
2456 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2458 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
2461 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2463 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
2464 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
2465 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2467 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
2470 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2472 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
2473 at multiple calls to read.
2474 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
2475 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
2476 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
2477 continued-lines prompt.
2479 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
2480 reading expressions.
2482 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2484 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
2485 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2487 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2489 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
2490 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
2493 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2495 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
2496 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
2498 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
2499 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
2500 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
2501 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
2502 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
2505 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2507 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
2508 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2510 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
2512 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
2513 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
2514 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
2515 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
2517 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
2519 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2521 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
2522 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
2523 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
2526 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2528 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
2529 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
2530 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
2531 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
2532 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
2533 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2534 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
2535 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
2536 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
2537 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2538 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
2540 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2542 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
2543 peeked from the stream.
2544 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
2545 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
2546 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
2548 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2550 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
2551 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
2553 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2555 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2556 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
2557 exiting repl with single control-D.
2559 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2561 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2562 error catching loop after quit received.
2563 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2565 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2566 primitive exit if non-interactive.
2567 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2569 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2570 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2572 * popen.scm: new file.
2574 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2576 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
2577 (reverse-iota): removed.
2579 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2581 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
2582 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
2584 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2586 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2587 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2588 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2589 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2590 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2592 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2594 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2596 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2597 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2599 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2600 Guile's module system.
2602 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2604 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2605 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2606 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2607 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
2608 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2609 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2611 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2612 '() when the condition is false.
2614 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2616 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2618 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2620 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2622 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2624 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2625 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2626 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2628 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2630 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2631 argument order for hash-fold.
2633 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2635 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
2637 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2638 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2640 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2641 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2642 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2643 has been added to the load path).
2645 Use try-load-module.
2647 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2649 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
2650 module between system and user state.
2652 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2654 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2656 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2659 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2661 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2662 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2663 system can create a wrapper class for it.
2665 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2667 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2668 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
2669 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2670 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2671 stack frame encountered.
2673 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2674 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2675 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2676 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2679 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2680 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2681 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2682 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
2685 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2686 define-module switches:
2688 (define-module (foo)
2691 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2694 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2695 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2696 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
2697 module it is a system frame.
2699 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2700 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2701 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2702 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
2703 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2705 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2706 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
2707 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2708 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2709 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
2710 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2712 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2713 status of a module.;
2714 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2715 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2717 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2718 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2719 closure to the module.
2721 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2723 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2725 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
2727 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2729 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
2731 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2733 Fix from Russ McManus:
2734 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2735 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2736 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2737 either an optional or required value.
2739 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2741 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2743 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2744 of the '() key, not `rest'.
2746 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2747 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2748 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2749 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2751 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2753 * optargs.scm: New file.
2754 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2755 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2757 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2759 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2760 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2761 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2763 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2765 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2766 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2769 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2771 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2773 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2775 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2776 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2777 applied to the module itself.
2779 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2781 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2783 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
2784 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2786 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2788 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2790 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2792 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2794 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>

2797 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2799 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2801 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2802 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2803 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2804 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2805 among BINDINGS is referenced.
2806 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
2807 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2809 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2811 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2812 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2814 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
2816 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2817 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2820 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2822 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2824 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2826 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2828 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2830 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2831 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2832 adapt to the new hooks.
2834 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2836 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2837 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
2838 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2840 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2841 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2843 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2844 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2845 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2846 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2847 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2848 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2849 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2850 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2851 first to register linked modules.
2853 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2854 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2855 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2857 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2858 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2859 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2860 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2862 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2864 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2867 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2868 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2869 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2871 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2873 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2874 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2875 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2877 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2879 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
2880 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2881 result of the last form.
2883 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2885 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2888 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2890 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2891 readline-set!: New options interface.
2893 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2895 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2897 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2898 at the end of boot-9.scm.
2900 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2902 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2903 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2905 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2907 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2908 interactive session.
2909 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2911 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2912 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2914 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2916 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2918 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2920 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2921 read line was empty.
2923 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2925 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2926 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2928 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2930 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2932 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2933 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2934 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2936 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2937 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2939 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2940 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2941 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2943 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2944 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2945 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
2946 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2947 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2948 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2950 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2952 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2953 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2955 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2957 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2958 and short vectors #h(...).
2960 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2962 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2963 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2964 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2966 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2968 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2969 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
2970 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2972 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2974 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2975 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2977 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2978 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
2979 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
2980 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2982 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2984 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2987 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2988 order to allow the empty list as arg.
2989 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2990 context with traps enabled.
2992 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2994 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2996 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2998 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3000 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
3001 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
3002 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
3003 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
3004 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
3006 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3008 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
3009 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
3011 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3013 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
3015 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3017 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
3019 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3021 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
3023 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3025 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
3026 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
3028 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3030 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
3031 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
3032 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
3033 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
3036 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
3037 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
3038 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
3040 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3042 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
3043 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
3044 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
3045 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
3046 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
3047 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
3048 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
3050 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3052 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
3054 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3056 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
3057 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
3058 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
3059 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
3060 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
3061 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
3063 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3065 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
3066 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
3067 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
3070 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3072 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
3074 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3076 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
3078 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3080 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
3083 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3085 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
3087 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3089 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
3090 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
3092 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3094 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
3095 similar in use to `use-modules'.
3096 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
3097 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
3099 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
3100 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
3102 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3104 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
3106 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3108 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
3109 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
3112 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
3113 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
3115 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
3116 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
3117 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
3119 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
3121 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3123 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
3125 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
3126 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
3128 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3130 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
3132 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3134 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
3135 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
3137 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
3139 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
3142 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3144 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
3145 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
3147 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3149 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
3151 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3153 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
3156 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3158 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
3159 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
3160 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
3161 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
3162 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
3165 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
3167 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
3168 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
3169 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
3171 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
3173 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
3175 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
3176 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
3178 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
3180 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
3181 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
3182 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
3183 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
3184 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
3185 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
3186 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
3189 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3191 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
3194 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
3196 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
3197 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
3198 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
3199 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
3200 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
3201 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
3203 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3205 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
3206 usefully so they will work from a script.
3208 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3210 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
3211 neighborhood of the record code.
3213 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3215 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
3216 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
3217 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
3218 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
3220 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3222 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
3223 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
3224 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3226 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3228 Add support for readline function.
3229 * readline.scm: New module.
3230 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
3231 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
3232 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
3234 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
3235 repl-reader to use them.
3236 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
3238 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
3240 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3242 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3243 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
3245 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3247 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
3248 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
3249 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
3251 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3253 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
3254 #f, abort terminates the process.
3255 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
3256 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
3258 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3260 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
3261 print-state, throw it away.
3263 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3265 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
3268 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3270 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
3271 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
3272 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
3273 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
3275 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
3276 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
3278 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3280 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
3282 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3284 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
3285 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
3286 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
3287 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3288 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
3290 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
3291 distribution and installation.
3292 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3294 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3296 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
3298 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3300 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
3301 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
3302 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
3304 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
3305 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
3308 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3310 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
3312 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
3314 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3316 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
3317 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
3318 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
3319 field a separate argument.
3321 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
3323 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>

3338 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
3339 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
3340 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
3341 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
3342 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
3344 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
3345 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
3346 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
3347 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
3348 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
3351 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3362 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
3364 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
3365 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
3366 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
3367 expansion inside the slib module.
3369 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
3371 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.

3377 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
3379 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
3380 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
3381 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
3383 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
3384 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
3387 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
3389 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.

3407 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
3409 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
3410 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
3411 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
3412 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
3413 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
3415 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
3416 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
3417 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
3419 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
3420 the syncase interface.
3422 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3424 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
3425 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
3426 workings of the current module system).
3428 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3430 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
3431 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

3440 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3442 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
3443 according to the following priorities:
3444 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
3445 2. bindings from the-scm-module
3447 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
3448 disabling the scheme interpreter.
3449 (new-interpreter): New function.
3451 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
3452 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
3453 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
3455 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3457 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

3483 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
3486 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when

3493 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
3495 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3497 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
3498 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
3500 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
3501 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
3503 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
3505 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3507 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
3508 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.

3513 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

3527 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3529 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
3530 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
3531 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
3533 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
3534 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
3537 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
3538 order to narrow it correctly.
3539 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

3552 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
3553 builtin `with-fluids*'.
3555 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3557 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3558 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
3559 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
3561 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3563 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces

3574 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3576 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:

3593 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3594 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3595 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
3596 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3597 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3598 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3600 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3601 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3602 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3603 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3605 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3607 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3608 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
3609 sending in bug reports.
3610 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3611 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3612 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3613 display a warning if the two are different.
3614 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3615 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3616 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

3624 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3625 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3627 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3628 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3629 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3630 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3631 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3632 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3635 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
3636 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3639 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3640 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
3642 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3645 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3648 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

3660 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3661 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3662 to support printing of structures.
3663 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3664 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
3665 commented out printing code.
3666 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3667 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".

3678 during call to scm-style-repl.
3680 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3682 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3683 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3684 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3685 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
3686 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
3688 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3690 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3691 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3694 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3696 * regex.scm: New file.
3697 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.

3704 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
3705 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
3707 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3709 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
3712 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3714 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3715 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
3716 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3718 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3720 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3721 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3724 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3726 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

3730 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3732 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3734 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3735 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3738 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3740 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3741 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3742 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
3744 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3746 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3747 the Scheme code like code yet.
3748 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3750 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3752 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3753 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
3754 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3756 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3758 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the

3765 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3767 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3769 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3771 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3772 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3773 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3775 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3777 Get 'make dist' to work again.
3778 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3779 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.

3802 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3803 instead of in libguile.

3807 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3809 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3811 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3812 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3814 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3816 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3817 sockaddr:port): new functions.

3821 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3822 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,

3824 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3826 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3828 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3829 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3831 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3833 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3835 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3837 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3838 keywords and symbols.
3840 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3842 * slib.scm: update read usage.
3844 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3845 Don't define read-sharp.
3847 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3848 (read-sharp): removed.
3849 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3850 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3852 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3854 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3856 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
3857 primitive procedure.)
3859 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3860 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3862 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3864 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3866 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3868 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3870 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3872 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3874 * (exit): alias for quit.
3876 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3878 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3879 return the quit args.
3880 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3881 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
3882 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3884 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3886 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3888 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3890 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3891 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3893 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3894 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3896 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3897 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3900 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3902 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3904 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3905 (add-hooks!): New macro.
3906 Change hooks to use these functions.
3908 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
3909 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3910 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3912 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3913 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3914 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3915 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
3916 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3917 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3918 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3921 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3922 and exit-frame exceptions.
3924 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3925 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3926 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3927 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3928 result; otherwise display "> ".
3929 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3931 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3932 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3933 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
3934 repository version runnable.
3936 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3938 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3939 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
3940 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3941 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3942 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3943 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3945 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3947 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3948 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3950 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3952 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3953 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
3955 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3957 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3959 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3961 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3964 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3966 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3967 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3969 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3971 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
3974 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3976 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3977 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3979 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3981 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3983 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3984 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3985 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3986 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3987 dynamic linking of modules.
3988 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3989 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3991 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3993 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3995 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3997 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
4000 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
4001 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
4004 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
4006 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
4007 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
4008 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
4010 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4012 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
4013 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
4016 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4018 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
4019 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
4020 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
4022 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4024 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
4025 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
4026 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
4027 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
4029 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
4030 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
4031 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
4032 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
4033 (such as the-scm-module).
4035 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4037 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
4040 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
4042 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
4043 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
4044 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
4046 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4048 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
4049 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
4050 function, use it accordingly.
4052 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4054 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
4055 function of no arguments.
4056 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
4057 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
4058 set-current-module): Uses changed.
4059 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
4060 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
4061 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
4062 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
4063 *top-level-eval-closure*.
4065 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4067 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
4068 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
4070 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4072 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4073 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
4074 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
4075 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
4076 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
4078 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
4081 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
4082 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
4083 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
4084 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
4086 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
4088 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
4090 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
4091 If the user wants to see this, he can do
4092 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
4094 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
4097 Added `before-read-hook'.
4099 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
4101 (provide): New function.
4103 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
4106 (backtrace): New function.
4108 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
4109 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
4110 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
4111 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
4112 is found in operator position in a frame.
4114 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4117 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
4118 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
4119 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
4121 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
4123 (library-vicinity): Updated.
4125 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
4127 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
4129 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4131 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
4133 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
4134 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
4136 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
4137 so they'll get distributed.
4139 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
4140 should see as little clutter as possible.
4141 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
4142 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
4143 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
4145 * r4rs.scm: New file.
4146 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
4147 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
4148 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
4149 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
4150 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
4151 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
4152 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
4153 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
4154 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
4156 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
4157 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
4159 * test.scm: New file.
4161 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
4162 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
4163 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
4165 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
4166 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
4168 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
4170 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
4171 call %load-announce.
4173 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4175 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
4176 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
4177 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
4179 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
4181 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4183 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
4184 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
4185 SCSH (which this isn't).
4187 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4189 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4191 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4193 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
4194 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
4195 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
4197 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
4198 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
4199 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
4200 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
4203 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4205 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
4207 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
4209 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
4210 error-catching-loop.
4211 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
4212 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
4213 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
4215 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
4216 error-catching-loop.
4218 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4220 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
4221 (make-module): Rework for readability.
4222 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
4223 should be '(), not #f.
4225 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
4226 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
4228 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4230 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
4231 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
4234 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4236 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
4237 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
4238 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
4239 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
4241 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4243 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
4245 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4247 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
4249 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
4250 throw-handler-default.
4251 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
4253 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
4255 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
4256 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
4258 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4260 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
4261 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
4262 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
4263 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
4265 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4267 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
4268 Append "." to the default %load-path.
4269 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
4270 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
4272 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
4273 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
4274 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
4275 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
4278 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
4280 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
4282 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
4285 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
4288 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
4290 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4292 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
4293 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
4295 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4297 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
4299 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
4301 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4303 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
4304 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
4305 Don't set up 'error as a key.
4306 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
4307 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
4309 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
4310 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
4311 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
4312 they seem redundant.
4313 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
4314 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
4315 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
4316 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
4317 directly files starting with "/").
4318 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
4319 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
4321 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
4323 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4325 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
4326 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
4327 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
4328 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
4329 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
4330 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
4331 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
4332 robust to just do it in the C code.
4334 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
