3 * and-let-star.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-2, since this module
5 * receive.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-8, since this module
8 2004-08-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
10 From Matthias Koeppe. Thanks!
12 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): In the local procedure `wr', use
13 object->string to print all data (except for the reader macros),
14 rather than implementing an own printer. The user-visible
15 difference is that procedures and control characters like #\tab
16 are now printed in the same way as by `write'.
18 2004-08-09 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
20 * slib.scm (*features*): Remove array and array-for-each, core
21 definitions are insufficient for latest slib.
22 (t, nil): New constants slib says are supposed to exist.
23 (call-with-open-ports, browse-url): New functions for latest slib.
24 Implementations taken from Template.scm (public domain).
25 (open-file): Extend core definition to accept symbols for the mode,
26 required by latest slib.
27 (delete-file): Replace core definition with version returning #t/#f as
29 (system): Mark as #:replace to suppress override warning, use new
30 style "(@ (guile) system)" to call core function.
32 2004-05-25 Matthias Koeppe <mkoeppe@mail.math.uni-magdeburg.de>
34 * format.scm: Remove the arbitrary limit of 100 iterations for the
35 ~{...~} control structure.
37 2004-07-10 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
39 * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Remove unused variable "val".
40 * pretty-print.scm (read-macro-prefix): Remove unused variable "tail".
42 * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Add srfi-6 which is in the core.
44 * safe-r5rs.scm (re-export): Uncomment numerator, denominator,
45 rationalize, since they now exist.
47 2004-07-05 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
49 * slib.scm (system): Correction to redefinition, now guile is stricter
50 about when a define binding comes into existance.
52 2004-05-29 Dirk Herrmann <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
54 * boot-9.scm: Reordered definitions such that macro definitions
55 preceed their first usage. Include and define deprecated stuff
56 late in the file to have a better change of detecting accidental
57 uses of deprecated definitions. Further, unified the layout a
58 little and grouped definitions more cleanly into topics.
60 2004-05-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
62 * history.scm (use-value-history): Use resolve-interface instead
63 of resolve-module so that only the exported bindings are searched.
64 (save-value-history): Export the newly defined variable. Reported
65 by Wolfgang Jaehrling.
67 2004-05-04 Dirk Herrmann <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
69 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): Always start searching from the
70 root module. This will allow the C equivalent scm_resolve_module
71 to work, independent of what the current module is.
73 2004-02-18 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
75 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Make the (guile-user) module use the
78 2004-02-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
80 * boot-9.scm (module-map): Renamed hash-map -> hash-map->list.
82 2004-02-09 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
84 * debugger/trap-hooks.scm (debug-hook-membership): New, exported.
86 * debugger/commands.scm (debug-trap-hooks): New, exported.
88 2004-02-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
90 * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES),
91 debugger/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES), Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES): Use
92 this variable instead of ETAGS_ARGS so that TAGS can be built
93 using separate build directory.
95 2004-01-20 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
97 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Back out 2003-11-19 change to
98 lazy-handler-dispatch lookup.
100 2004-01-12 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
102 * mapping.scm: Use '#:' prefix for keywords instead of ':'.
103 Thanks to Richard Todd!
105 2004-01-11 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
107 * slib.scm (system): New function, giving an exit code return in
108 accordance with slib spec.
110 Revert this, it breaks test-suite/tests/r5rs_pitfalls.test where
111 false-if-exception is used within syntax-rules. (Suspect syntax-rules
112 ought to support this sort of thing, but it doesn't right now.)
113 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
114 to depend on expansion environment.
116 2004-01-07 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
118 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): Use with-fluid* when only one fluid is
121 2004-01-07 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
123 * q.scm (q-pop!): Should be "null?" not "not" for end-of-list.
124 Reported by Richard Todd.
126 2004-01-04 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
128 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
129 to depend on expansion environment.
131 * slib.scm (-1+, <?, <=?, =?, >?, >=?): Define as aliases for 1-, <,
132 <=, =, >, >= respectively, required by slib 'rev2-procedures but no
133 longer in the guile core.
135 2003-11-19 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
137 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Defer lookup of
138 lazy-handler-dispatch.
140 2003-11-17 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
142 * boot-9.scm (@, @@): New macros.
144 2003-11-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
146 * boot-9.scm: Started comment about module system workings.
148 2003-11-11 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
150 * debugger.scm: Change ui-* calls to gds-*.
151 (debug-on-error): Debug if throw key is in specified syms, not if
152 it isn't! Also throw 'abort after debugging, so as to skip the
155 * debugger/behaviour.scm (*trap*): New variable, stores trap type.
156 (before-enter-frame-hook, before-apply-frame-hook,
157 before-exit-frame-hook): Set here.

159 (at-step, at-next): Changed to debug at frame exit points as well.
161 * debugger/utils.scm: Big comment added.
163 2003-10-30 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

170 debug immediately on connection.
171 (ui-eval): Handle exceptions during read and evaluation.
173 * debugger.scm (debug-on-error, default-default-lazy-handler):
174 Remove an unnecessary level of indirection in calling lazy
177 2003-10-12 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
179 * ftw.scm (directory-files): Close dir-stream when done. Thanks
182 2003-10-09 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
184 * poe.scm (funcq-assoc): Rewrite, don't assume '() is false, and
185 actually traverse the given alist.
187 2003-10-06 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
189 * debugger/ui-client.scm (handle-instruction): Add evaluation
193 2003-10-04 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
195 * debugger/ui-client.scm (ui-disable-async-thread,
196 ui-continue-async-thread, start-async-ui-thread): New.
197 (ui-command-loop): Call ui-disable-async-thread and
198 ui-continue-async-thread.
199 (handle-instruction): Read terminating newline char so it doesn't
200 cause following select to pop immediately.
202 2003-09-25 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
204 * debugger/ui-client.scm, debugger/ui-server.scm: New (work in
205 progress on new debugging front end).
207 2003-09-24 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
209 * debugger.scm (default-default-lazy-handler, debug-on-error):
212 * debugger/behaviour.scm (debug-if-flag-set): Display debug entry
213 messages through (debugger-output-port).
214 (after-exit-frame-hook): Trace through (debugger-output-port).
215 (trace-here): Trace through (debugger-output-port).
217 * debugger/commands.scm (evaluate): If supplied expression is a

229 reentrant. No mutex is necessary. Thanks to Clinton Ebadi!
231 2003-09-13 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
233 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?): Use stat rather than access?, so as to
234 follow the effective UID/GID not the real ID. file-exists? is
235 normally used as a prelude to opening or some other operation, and
236 it's the effective ID which will apply there. Emacs file-exists-p
237 uses stat, presumably for the the same reason.
239 2003-09-12 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
241 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Use a proper hashtable as
242 the obarray, not an empty vector.
243 (make-module): Always construct a hashtable for the obarray, even
246 * format.scm (format:error): Use 'format:format' instead of
247 'format' since the latter will lock the mutex again that we have
249 (format:format-work): Flag multiple '#' as an error.
251 2003-08-17 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
253 * boot-9.scm (while): Use a new key dynamically for each loop, so
254 break and continue associate to their loop even when recursing.
256 2003-08-14 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
258 * boot-9.scm (while): Rewrite, continue as proper escape, break
259 without return value, break and continue new for each while form,
260 don't depend on bindings in expansion environment.
262 * popen.scm (open-process): Close input-fdes, output-fdes and
263 error-fdes after duping them to 0, 1 and 2.
265 2003-06-19 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
267 * threads.scm (parallel): For no forms, use `(values)' not `(begin)'.

281 call-with-input-file, to close ports when done.
283 2003-05-03 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>

286 instead of substring-move-left! or substring-move-right!. Thanks
289 * deprecated.scm (substring-move-left!, substring-move-right!):
292 * boot-9.scm (display-usage-report): Use keyword->symbol instead
293 of keyword-symbol, which doesn't exist. Thanks to Kevin Ryde.
295 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-get-handle): Pass only the expected four
296 arguments to hashx-get-handle. Thanks to Kevin Ryde!
298 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port) Pass 0 as second
299 argument to string-ref. Thanks to Kevin Ryde!
301 2003-04-25 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
303 * serialize.scm: New file.
305 2003-04-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

329 2003-03-19 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
331 * format.scm (format:out-substr): Update the column counter
332 correctly. This fixes the behavior of ~T (tabbing) after ~F, for
333 instance. Thanks to Matthias Koeppe!
335 2003-03-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
337 * session.scm (apropos): Don't look in duplicates interface.
339 2003-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
341 * boot-9.scm (duplicate-handlers): Make sure the merge-generics
342 and merge-accessors handlers are available also before (oop goops)
343 has been loaded. This is so that people can put them as default
344 handlers without worrying about availability.

377 default-module-duplicates-handler; Removed converter.

428 (since the size now adapts).

447 expression before trying to treat it as a Guile macro call.
448 (Thanks to Kevin Ryde.)
450 2003-01-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

475 in output. (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be

555 * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax): Re-introduced after accidentally
556 removing it in my patch from 2002-11-16.
558 2002-11-24 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
560 Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
563 * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
565 (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
568 * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
569 until Guile supports hygienic macros.
571 2002-11-17 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
573 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
574 has been removed from the core.
576 2002-11-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
578 * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
579 identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
580 syntax-rules, with-syntax, include): Changed definitions to form

596 needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.
598 2002-11-05 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
600 * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"
603 * debugger/breakpoints/source.scm: Enable source property
604 recording when module is loaded.

607 2002-11-04 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
609 * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Simplify code-generation

614 arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
617 2002-11-03 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
619 * format.scm (format): Wrap a monitor around format:format since
620 it is not thread-safe.
622 2002-10-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
624 * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'. This
625 value will be returned by join-thread.
627 2002-10-26 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
629 Merging debugger enhancements previously in separate
630 `guile-debugger' package ...
632 * debugger.scm: Factored out into the following constituent parts
633 - see comment in file for more details.
634 (*not-yet-introduced*): New (avoids repeatedly introducing the
635 debugger when entering it from breakpoints).

665 2002-10-21 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
667 * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Do not call unmask-signals, that
668 should be unnecessary now.
670 2002-10-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
672 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
673 guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of

693 2002-10-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
695 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to
696 limit the signal stack.
698 2002-09-15 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
700 * boot-9.scm (feature?): Added deprecation message.
702 2002-09-14 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

706 2002-09-05 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

746 2002-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
748 * format.scm (format:fn-max): Increase to 400 so ~f and ~g can

767 2002-03-05 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@giblet.glug.org>
771 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add ftw.scm.
773 2002-02-26 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@giblet.glug.org>
775 * Makefile.am: Update path to pre-inst-guile automake frag.
777 * boot-9.scm: Comment grammar fixes; nfc.
778 Thanks to Christopher Cramer.
780 2002-02-24 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
782 * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
783 properties. This is in preparation for changing the future public
784 gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
786 * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.
788 2002-02-07 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@giblet.glug.org>
790 * regex.scm: Add commentary; nfc.
792 2002-02-05 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@giblet.glug.org>
794 * Makefile.am: Include $(top_srcdir)/pre-inst-guile.am.
796 (psyntax.pp): Use $(preinstguile).
798 2002-01-14 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
800 * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
801 datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
802 syntax-object, is an identifier. This was a unconvenient and
803 unnecessary restriction. Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
805 2002-01-12 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
807 More options for pretty-print. Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
809 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
810 (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
811 used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
813 2001-11-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
815 * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have

820 * boot-9.scm (turn-on-debugging): New function, to be used by
821 scm_compile_shell_switches.
823 * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
826 2001-10-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
828 * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
829 (*features*): Extend. (Probably some of these options should be
830 set elsewhere.) (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
832 * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,
833 channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,
834 expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, ls.scm, mapping.scm,

837 safe.scm, session.scm, slib.scm, streams.scm, string-fun.scm,
838 syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
839 `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
840 into the `define-module' form. This is the recommended way of
843 2001-10-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
845 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
848 2001-10-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
850 * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
851 of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
852 the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
853 interfering with parsing of numbers.)
855 2001-10-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
857 * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
858 %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,
859 %%apropos-internal): Use module-define! instead of
862 2001-09-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
864 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.
866 2001-09-19 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@glug.org>

875 $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
877 2001-09-08 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
879 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
880 the `arglist' procedure property.
881 * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
882 present a more detailed argument list.
884 Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
886 2001-09-07 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
888 * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
889 bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option. Thanks to Daniel
892 2001-08-31 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
894 * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
896 (feature?): Deprecated.
898 (id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags,
899 eval-in-module, split-c-module-name,
900 (convert-c-registered-modules, registered-modules,
901 register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation, init-dynamic-module,

903 find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
904 try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
905 try-module-dynamic-link): Removed.
907 (module-make-local-var!, module-ensure-local-variable!,
908 module-define!): Eliminate call to `variable-set-name-hint!´.
910 (try-load-module, use-syntax, module-export!): Remove deprecated
913 * format.scm: Remove deprecated definition of format that was
914 needed to trick export.
916 2001-08-31 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
918 * optargs.scm: Remove #& reader extension.
920 2001-08-31 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
922 * and-let-star-compat.scm: Deleted.
924 * Makefile.am: Remove references to and-let-star-compat.scm.
926 2001-08-30 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
928 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
929 interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
930 not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
932 2001-08-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
934 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
935 interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
937 2001-08-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
939 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".
941 2001-08-12 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
943 * getopt-long.scm: Rewrite.
947 2001-08-02 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
949 * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
950 last-command fluid is not yet set.
952 2001-08-02 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
954 * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
956 (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
957 value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
958 next element is to be taken as the option arg.
960 2001-07-31 Keisuke Nishida <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
962 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
963 handle :use-syntax correctly.
965 2001-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
967 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
970 2001-07-23 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
972 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
973 maintainer mode. Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
974 Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
975 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
976 * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
978 2001-07-18 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
980 * and-let-star.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm, history.scm,
981 lineio.scm, null.scm, optargs.scm, r4rs.scm, r5rs.scm,
982 receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
984 2001-07-17 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
986 * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
987 primitives. Thanks Neil!
989 2001-07-13 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
991 * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
992 re-exported core bindings. Do not re-export `numerator',
993 `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
994 Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
996 * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
997 core bindings. Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
998 since there aren't definitions for them.
1000 * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
1001 argument is "renamer" not "rename".
1003 2001-07-09 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1005 * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
1006 is #f. Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
1008 2001-07-06 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1010 * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
1011 extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
1013 2001-06-30 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1015 * arrays.scm: Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b': #b
1016 is already defined by R5RS. Further, there is already a working
1017 read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
1019 2001-06-30 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1021 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
1023 * tags.scm: Removed file.
1025 2001-06-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1027 Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
1028 is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
1030 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
1031 whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
1032 (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
1035 2001-06-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1037 * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
1038 was a cut-n-paste error previously.
1040 2001-06-26 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1042 * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
1043 Don't reset trace-level to 0.
1045 * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
1046 apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler. (They're replaced by
1047 evaluator trap options.)
1049 2001-06-25 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1051 * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.
1053 2001-06-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1055 * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax): New.
1057 2001-06-16 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1059 * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
1061 2001-06-14 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1063 * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
1064 `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
1066 2001-06-13 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1069 No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
1070 Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
1071 No longer require `pretty-print'.
1073 (slib:error): Delete.
1074 (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
1076 Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
1081 Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
1085 2001-06-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1087 * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
1088 `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
1089 rdelim) module. See below.
1091 2001-06-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1093 * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
1094 include-deprecated-features is true.
1096 2001-06-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1098 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
1101 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
1102 real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
1103 Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1105 * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
1106 (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
1107 `port', if it has one. Else leave it alone. Thanks to Matthias
1110 2001-06-05 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1112 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
1113 `module-ensure-variable!'. Make sure that there really is a local
1114 variable, not just a visible one.
1115 (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
1116 (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
1117 enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable. When
1118 deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
1119 creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
1120 (module-re-export!): New. Use this for re-exporting imported
1122 (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
1124 * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
1125 re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
1127 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1129 * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
1130 instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
1132 2001-06-04 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1134 * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
1136 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1138 Added exception notice to all files.
1140 * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change. It
1141 caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
1142 importing bindings once in a while.
1144 2001-06-03 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1146 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
1147 and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
1148 (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1149 registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
1150 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
1151 find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
1152 try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
1153 try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated. Activate deprecation
1155 (define-public): Define binding before exporting it. This is to
1156 avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
1158 2001-06-02 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1160 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
1161 fix command so that it works.
1163 * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
1164 to access unbound variables.
1166 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
1167 (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
1168 export. Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
1169 the value over, and export the new variable. This confused
1170 syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
1172 2001-06-01 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1174 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
1175 When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules. Add
1176 them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.

1721 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
1722 string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
1723 sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
1724 sans-final-newline): Use substring instead of
1725 make-shared-substring.
1727 2000-11-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1729 * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1730 removed. values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1731 the other two were only exported by accident. don't define
1732 *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1735 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1737 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
1738 and open-output-pipe.
1740 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1742 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1743 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1744 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
1745 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
1746 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1747 Pirotte for the bug report).
1748 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1749 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
1751 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1753 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.

1763 accept symbol arguments any more. Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
1766 2000-09-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1768 * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f. thanks to
1771 2000-09-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1773 * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1774 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1775 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1777 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1778 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1779 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1780 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1781 actual documentation entries themselves.
1783 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1785 * boot-9.scm: Removed comment. (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
1787 2000-09-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1789 * syncase.scm (putprop): Use the high-level property interface.
1791 2000-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

1796 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
1797 getter-and-setter-syntax,
1798 delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
1799 argument. (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
1801 * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
1803 * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
1805 2000-08-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1807 * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
1809 2000-08-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1811 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
1813 (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1815 (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed. I don't
1816 think I'll announce this in NEWS even. One of the functions never
1817 even worked... /mdj.
1818 (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1820 (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1823 2000-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1825 * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax

1841 2000-08-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1843 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive. (Thanks to
1846 2000-08-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1848 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1849 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
1850 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1851 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1852 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1854 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1856 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1858 * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition. (Is now
1859 provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1861 * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1864 * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1865 record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1866 (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto. (This is actually a bugfix!)
1867 (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1869 * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
1871 * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.

1874 * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
1876 * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1877 (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1879 2000-08-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1881 * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1882 definition of module-type.
1884 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1886 * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1888 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1890 (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1891 *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1893 2000-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1895 * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to thi!
1897 2000-07-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1899 * boot-9.scm (expt): In case of negative integer exponents return
1900 an exact result if the input paramters were exact. Thanks to
1901 Mikael for the suggestion.
1903 2000-07-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1905 * boot-9.scm (expt): Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1906 if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1908 2000-07-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1910 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1913 2000-06-27 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1915 * popen.scm: gc-thunk is deprecated. Use after-gc-hook instead.
1917 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1919 * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1920 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber
1923 (delete-if!, delete-if-not!): Renamed parameter from `list' to
1924 `l' in order to avoid confusion. Note: These functions are not
1927 2000-06-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1929 * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1930 and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1932 * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1933 (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1934 (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1936 (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1938 * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1940 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1942 * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1943 module graph. (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1945 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1947 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1948 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1950 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1952 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
1953 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1955 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1957 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1959 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1961 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1963 2000-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

1967 (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1968 (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1970 (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1972 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1975 * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1976 (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1977 (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1978 (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1981 * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1983 * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1985 2000-06-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1987 * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1988 (write-all): Removed.
1989 (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'. Return
1990 documentation string instead of printing it. Not exported.
1992 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
1994 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1995 `proc-documentation'
1997 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
1998 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1999 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
2000 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
2001 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
2002 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
2003 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
2006 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2008 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
2010 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2012 * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
2013 anonymous. Now needed in modules.c.
2014 (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
2017 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
2019 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
2020 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
2021 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
2022 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
2023 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
2024 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
2025 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
2027 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2029 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
2030 accept complex numbers as parameter.
2032 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2034 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
2035 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
2037 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2039 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
2040 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
2041 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
2042 instead of remove-if when iterating.
2043 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
2044 delete-if! when iterating.
2046 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2048 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
2050 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2052 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
2054 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
2056 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
2057 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
2058 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
2059 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
2061 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
2063 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
2064 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
2066 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2068 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
2069 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
2070 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
2071 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
2073 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
2075 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
2076 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
2078 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2080 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
2081 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
2083 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2085 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
2088 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2090 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
2091 source of the numerous very short changes.
2093 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2095 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
2098 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
2101 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2103 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
2106 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2108 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
2109 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
2111 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
2113 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
2116 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
2118 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
2119 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
2120 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
2122 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2124 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
2125 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
2126 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
2127 Narazaki for this change.
2129 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2131 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
2132 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
2135 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
2136 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
2138 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2140 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
2141 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
2143 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2145 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
2146 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
2147 use define-public to export from the module.
2149 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2151 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
2152 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
2153 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
2155 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2157 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
2159 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2161 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
2162 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
2164 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2166 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
2168 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.

2172 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2174 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
2175 long_long uniform vectors.
2177 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2179 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
2180 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
2182 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2184 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
2185 script to create generated files like this one.
2187 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2189 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
2190 available before using getpw and getuid.
2191 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
2192 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
2194 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
2195 check for .guile, instead of stat.
2196 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
2198 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
2199 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
2200 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
2202 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
2203 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
2205 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
2207 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2209 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
2210 than 'exit-debugger.
2212 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
2213 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
2215 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.

2222 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
2223 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.

2236 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
2237 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
2239 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2241 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
2243 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
2245 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
2246 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
2248 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
2249 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
2250 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
2252 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
2255 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2257 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
2258 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
2260 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
2262 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2264 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
2265 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
2266 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
2267 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
2269 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
2272 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
2273 both forward and backward views of the stack
2274 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
2275 Use selector `frame-number';
2276 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
2277 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
2279 Use readline conditionally.
2281 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2283 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
2284 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
2285 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
2287 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
2288 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
2291 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2293 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
2295 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
2297 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
2299 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2301 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2303 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
2304 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
2305 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
2306 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
2307 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
2308 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
2309 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
2310 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
2311 libguile-config-stamp.
2312 * version.scm.in: Delete.
2313 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
2314 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
2315 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
2316 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
2318 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2320 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
2321 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
2322 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
2324 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
2325 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
2326 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
2327 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
2330 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
2332 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
2334 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
2336 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2338 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
2339 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
2341 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
2343 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
2344 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
2345 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
2346 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
2347 objects starting with '#/'.
2349 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2351 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
2352 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
2353 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
2354 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
2355 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
2356 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
2358 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
2359 module-modified): New procedures.
2360 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
2361 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
2363 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2365 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
2368 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2370 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
2371 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
2372 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2374 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
2377 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2379 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
2380 at multiple calls to read.
2381 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
2382 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
2383 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
2384 continued-lines prompt.
2386 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
2387 reading expressions.
2389 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2391 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
2392 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2394 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2396 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
2397 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
2400 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2402 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
2403 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
2405 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
2406 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
2407 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
2408 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
2409 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
2412 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2414 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
2415 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2417 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
2419 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
2420 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
2421 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
2422 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
2424 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
2426 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2428 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
2429 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
2430 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
2433 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2435 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
2436 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
2437 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
2438 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
2439 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
2440 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2441 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
2442 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
2443 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
2444 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2445 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
2447 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2449 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
2450 peeked from the stream.
2451 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
2452 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
2453 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
2455 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2457 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
2458 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
2460 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2462 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2463 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
2464 exiting repl with single control-D.
2466 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2468 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2469 error catching loop after quit received.
2470 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2472 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2473 primitive exit if non-interactive.
2474 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2476 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2477 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2479 * popen.scm: new file.
2481 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2483 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
2484 (reverse-iota): removed.
2486 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2488 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
2489 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
2491 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2493 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2494 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2495 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2496 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2497 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2499 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2501 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2503 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2504 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2506 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2507 Guile's module system.
2509 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2511 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2512 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2513 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2514 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
2515 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2516 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2518 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2519 '() when the condition is false.
2521 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2523 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2525 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2527 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2529 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2531 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2532 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2533 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2535 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2537 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2538 argument order for hash-fold.
2540 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2542 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
2544 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2545 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2547 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2548 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2549 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2550 has been added to the load path).
2552 Use try-load-module.
2554 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2556 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
2557 module between system and user state.
2559 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2561 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2563 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2566 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2568 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2569 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2570 system can create a wrapper class for it.
2572 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2574 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2575 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
2576 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2577 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2578 stack frame encountered.
2580 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2581 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2582 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2583 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2586 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2587 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2588 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2589 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
2592 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2593 define-module switches:
2595 (define-module (foo)
2598 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2601 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2602 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2603 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
2604 module it is a system frame.
2606 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2607 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2608 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2609 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
2610 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2612 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2613 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
2614 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2615 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2616 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
2617 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2619 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2620 status of a module.;
2621 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2622 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2624 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2625 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2626 closure to the module.
2628 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2630 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2632 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
2634 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2636 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
2638 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2640 Fix from Russ McManus:
2641 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2642 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2643 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2644 either an optional or required value.
2646 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2648 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2650 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2651 of the '() key, not `rest'.
2653 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2654 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2655 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2656 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2658 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2660 * optargs.scm: New file.
2661 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2662 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2664 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2666 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2667 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2668 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2670 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2672 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2673 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2676 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2678 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2680 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2682 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2683 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2684 applied to the module itself.
2686 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2688 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2690 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
2691 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2693 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2695 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2697 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2699 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2701 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
2703 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2704 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2706 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2708 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2709 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2710 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2711 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2712 among BINDINGS is referenced.
2713 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
2714 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2716 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2718 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2719 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2721 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
2723 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2724 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2727 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2729 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2731 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2733 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2735 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2737 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2738 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2739 adapt to the new hooks.
2741 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2743 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2744 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
2745 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2747 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2748 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2750 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2751 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2752 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2753 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2754 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2755 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2756 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2757 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2758 first to register linked modules.
2760 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2761 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2762 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2764 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2765 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2766 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2767 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2769 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2771 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2774 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2775 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2776 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2778 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2780 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2781 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2782 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2784 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2786 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
2787 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2788 result of the last form.
2790 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2792 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2795 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2797 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2798 readline-set!: New options interface.
2800 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2802 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2804 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2805 at the end of boot-9.scm.
2807 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2809 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2810 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2812 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2814 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2815 interactive session.
2816 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2818 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2819 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2821 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2823 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2825 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2827 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2828 read line was empty.
2830 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2832 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2833 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2835 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2837 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2839 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2840 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2841 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2843 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2844 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2846 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2847 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2848 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2850 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2851 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2852 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
2853 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2854 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2855 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2857 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2859 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2860 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2862 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2864 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2865 and short vectors #h(...).
2867 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2869 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2870 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2871 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2873 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2875 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2876 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
2877 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2879 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2881 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2882 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2884 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2885 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
2886 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
2887 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2889 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2891 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2894 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2895 order to allow the empty list as arg.
2896 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2897 context with traps enabled.
2899 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2901 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2903 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2905 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2907 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2908 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2909 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
2910 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2911 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2913 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2915 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2916 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2918 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2920 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2922 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2924 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2926 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2928 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2930 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2932 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2933 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2935 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2937 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2938 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2939 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2940 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
2943 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2944 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2945 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2947 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2949 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2950 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2951 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2952 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
2953 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2954 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2955 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2957 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2959 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2961 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2963 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2964 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2965 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
2966 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2967 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2968 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2970 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2972 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2973 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2974 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
2977 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2979 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2981 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2983 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2985 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2987 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2990 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2992 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2994 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2996 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2997 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2999 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3001 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
3002 similar in use to `use-modules'.
3003 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
3004 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
3006 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
3007 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
3009 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3011 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
3013 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3015 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
3016 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
3019 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
3020 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
3022 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
3023 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
3024 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
3026 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
3028 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3030 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
3032 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
3033 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
3035 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3037 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
3039 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3041 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
3042 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
3044 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
3046 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
3049 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3051 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
3052 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
3054 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3056 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
3058 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3060 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
3063 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3065 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
3066 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
3067 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
3068 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
3069 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
3072 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
3074 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
3075 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
3076 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
3078 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
3080 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
3082 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
3083 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
3085 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
3087 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
3088 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
3089 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
3090 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
3091 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
3092 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
3093 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
3096 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3098 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
3101 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
3103 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
3104 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
3105 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
3106 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
3107 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
3108 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
3110 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3112 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
3113 usefully so they will work from a script.
3115 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3117 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
3118 neighborhood of the record code.
3120 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3122 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
3123 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
3124 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
3125 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
3127 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3129 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
3130 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
3131 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3133 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3135 Add support for readline function.
3136 * readline.scm: New module.
3137 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
3138 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
3139 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
3141 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
3142 repl-reader to use them.
3143 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
3145 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
3147 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3149 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3150 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
3152 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3154 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
3155 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
3156 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
3158 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3160 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
3161 #f, abort terminates the process.
3162 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
3163 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
3165 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3167 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
3168 print-state, throw it away.
3170 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3172 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
3175 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3177 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
3178 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
3179 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
3180 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
3182 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
3183 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
3185 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3187 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
3189 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3191 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
3192 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
3193 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
3194 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3195 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
3197 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
3198 distribution and installation.
3199 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3201 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3203 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
3205 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3207 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
3208 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
3209 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
3211 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
3212 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
3215 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3217 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
3219 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
3221 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3223 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
3224 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
3225 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
3226 field a separate argument.
3228 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
3230 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3232 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
3234 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
3238 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3240 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
3242 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3244 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
3245 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
3246 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
3247 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
3248 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
3249 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
3251 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
3252 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
3253 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
3254 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
3255 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
3258 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3260 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
3262 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3264 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
3265 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
3267 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3269 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
3271 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
3272 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
3273 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
3274 expansion inside the slib module.
3276 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
3278 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
3279 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
3280 (let): New core form.
3281 (if): Removed from core language.
3282 (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
3283 (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
3284 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
3286 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
3287 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
3288 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
3290 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
3291 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
3294 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
3296 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
3297 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
3299 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
3301 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
3302 (make-module): Modified initialization.
3303 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
3304 mutator for module-associated transformer.
3305 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
3306 `scm:eval-transformer'.
3307 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
3308 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
3310 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
3312 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3314 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
3316 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
3317 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
3318 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
3319 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
3320 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
3322 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
3323 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
3324 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
3326 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
3327 the syncase interface.
3329 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3331 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
3332 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
3333 workings of the current module system).
3335 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3337 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
3338 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

3347 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3349 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
3350 according to the following priorities:
3351 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
3352 2. bindings from the-scm-module
3354 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
3355 disabling the scheme interpreter.
3356 (new-interpreter): New function.
3358 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
3359 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
3360 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

3376 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3378 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
3379 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the

3384 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
3385 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

3387 symbols matching regexp.
3389 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
3390 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
3393 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
3394 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
3395 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);

3397 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
3399 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
3400 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
3402 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3404 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
3405 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
3407 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
3408 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
3410 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
3412 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3414 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
3415 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
3416 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
3418 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
3420 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
3421 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
3422 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
3424 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3434 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3436 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
3437 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
3438 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
3440 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
3441 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
3444 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
3445 order to narrow it correctly.
3446 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
3448 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3450 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.

3453 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3455 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
3457 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3459 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
3460 builtin `with-fluids*'.
3462 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3464 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3465 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
3466 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
3468 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3470 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
3473 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3475 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
3476 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
3477 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
3478 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
3479 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
3481 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3483 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
3484 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
3487 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.

3500 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3501 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3502 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
3503 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3504 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3505 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3507 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3508 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3509 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3510 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3512 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3514 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3515 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
3516 sending in bug reports.
3517 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3518 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3519 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3520 display a warning if the two are different.
3521 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3522 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3523 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

3527 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
3529 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3531 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3532 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3534 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3535 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3536 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3537 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3538 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3539 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3542 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
3543 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3546 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3547 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
3549 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3552 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3555 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

3560 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3562 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3563 vtable and not the one of the struct.
3565 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3567 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3568 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3569 to support printing of structures.
3570 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3571 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
3572 commented out printing code.
3573 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3574 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
3576 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

3580 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3582 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3583 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3584 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3585 during call to scm-style-repl.
3587 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3589 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3590 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3591 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3592 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
3593 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
3595 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3597 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3598 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3601 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3603 * regex.scm: New file.
3604 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3605 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

3610 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
3611 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
3612 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
3614 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3616 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
3619 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3621 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3622 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
3623 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3625 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3627 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3628 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3631 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3633 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3635 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3637 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3639 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3641 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3642 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3645 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3647 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3648 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3649 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
3651 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3653 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3654 the Scheme code like code yet.
3655 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3657 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3659 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3660 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
3661 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3663 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3665 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3667 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3670 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3672 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3674 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3676 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3678 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3679 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3680 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3682 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3684 Get 'make dist' to work again.
3685 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3686 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
3688 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3690 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3691 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3693 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3695 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
3698 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

3705 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
3707 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3709 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3710 instead of in libguile.
3711 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3712 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3714 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3716 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3718 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3719 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3721 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3723 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3724 sockaddr:port): new functions.
3726 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3728 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3729 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3730 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3731 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3733 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3735 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3736 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3738 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3740 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3742 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3744 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3745 keywords and symbols.
3747 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3749 * slib.scm: update read usage.
3751 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3752 Don't define read-sharp.
3754 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3755 (read-sharp): removed.
3756 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3757 case_i or read-sharp arguments.

3761 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3763 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
3764 primitive procedure.)
3766 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3767 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3769 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3771 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3773 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3775 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3777 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3779 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3781 * (exit): alias for quit.
3783 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3785 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3786 return the quit args.
3787 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3788 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
3789 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3791 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3793 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3795 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3797 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3798 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3800 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3801 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3803 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3804 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3807 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3809 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3811 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3812 (add-hooks!): New macro.
3813 Change hooks to use these functions.
3815 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
3816 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3817 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3819 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3820 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3821 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3822 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
3823 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3824 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3825 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3828 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3829 and exit-frame exceptions.
3831 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3832 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3833 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3834 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3835 result; otherwise display "> ".
3836 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3838 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3839 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3840 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
3841 repository version runnable.
3843 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3845 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3846 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
3847 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3848 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3849 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3850 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3852 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3854 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3855 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3857 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3859 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3860 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
3862 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3864 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3866 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3868 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3871 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3873 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3874 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3876 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3878 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
3881 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3883 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3884 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3886 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3888 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3890 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3891 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3892 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3893 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3894 dynamic linking of modules.
3895 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3896 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3898 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3900 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3902 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3904 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3907 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3908 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
3911 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3913 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3914 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3915 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3917 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3919 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3920 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
3923 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3925 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3926 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3927 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3929 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3931 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3932 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3933 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3934 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3936 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3937 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3938 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3939 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3940 (such as the-scm-module).
3942 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3944 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3947 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
3949 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3950 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3951 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3953 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3955 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3956 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3957 function, use it accordingly.
3959 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3961 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
3962 function of no arguments.
3963 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3964 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3965 set-current-module): Uses changed.
3966 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3967 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3968 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3969 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3970 *top-level-eval-closure*.
3972 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3974 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3975 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3977 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3979 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3980 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3981 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
3982 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
3983 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3985 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3988 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3989 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
3990 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3991 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3993 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3995 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3997 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3998 If the user wants to see this, he can do
3999 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
4001 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
4004 Added `before-read-hook'.
4006 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
4008 (provide): New function.
4010 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
4013 (backtrace): New function.
4015 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
4016 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
4017 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
4018 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
4019 is found in operator position in a frame.
4021 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4024 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
4025 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
4026 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
4028 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
4030 (library-vicinity): Updated.
4032 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
4034 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
4036 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4038 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
4040 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
4041 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
4043 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
4044 so they'll get distributed.
4046 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
4047 should see as little clutter as possible.
4048 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
4049 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
4050 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
4052 * r4rs.scm: New file.
4053 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
4054 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
4055 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
4056 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
4057 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
4058 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
4059 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
4060 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
4061 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
4063 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
4064 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
4066 * test.scm: New file.
4068 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
4069 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
4070 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
4072 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
4073 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
4075 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
4077 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
4078 call %load-announce.
4080 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4082 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
4083 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
4084 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
4086 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
4088 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4090 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
4091 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
4092 SCSH (which this isn't).
4094 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4096 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4098 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4100 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
4101 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
4102 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
4104 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
4105 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
4106 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
4107 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
4110 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4112 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
4114 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
4116 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
4117 error-catching-loop.
4118 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
4119 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
4120 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
4122 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
4123 error-catching-loop.
4125 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4127 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
4128 (make-module): Rework for readability.
4129 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
4130 should be '(), not #f.
4132 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
4133 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
4135 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4137 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
4138 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
4141 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4143 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
4144 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
4145 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
4146 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
4148 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4150 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
4152 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4154 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
4156 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
4157 throw-handler-default.
4158 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
4160 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
4162 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
4163 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
4165 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4167 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
4168 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
4169 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
4170 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
4172 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4174 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
4175 Append "." to the default %load-path.
4176 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
4177 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
4179 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
4180 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
4181 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
4182 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
4185 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
4187 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
4189 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
4192 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
4195 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
4197 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4199 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
4200 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
4202 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4204 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
4206 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
4208 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4210 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
4211 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
4212 Don't set up 'error as a key.
4213 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
4214 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
4216 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
4217 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
4218 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
4219 they seem redundant.
4220 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
4221 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
4222 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
4223 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
4224 directly files starting with "/").
4225 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
4226 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
4228 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
4230 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4232 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
4233 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
4234 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
4235 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
4236 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
4237 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
4238 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
4239 robust to just do it in the C code.
4241 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4243 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
4244 %try-load itself was the primitive.
4245 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
4246 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
4247 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
4249 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
4251 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
4252 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
4253 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
4255 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4257 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
4258 system-error, not every kind of error.
4259 (scm-error): new procedure.
4261 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4263 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4265 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4267 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
4268 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
4269 of args are supplied.
4270 (%%system-errors): removed.
4271 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
4272 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
4273 %%handle-system-error.
4274 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
4275 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
4276 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
4277 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
4279 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4281 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
4282 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
4283 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
4284 %S (embed an argument using "write").
4286 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4288 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
4289 the empty list if they are #f.
4290 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
4292 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4294 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
4296 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
4297 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
4298 aborting, just the key and subr.
4299 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
4300 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
4301 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
4303 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4305 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
4306 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
4307 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
4308 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
4309 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
4311 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4313 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
4314 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
4315 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
4316 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
4318 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4320 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
4321 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
4322 initialize %load-path.
4324 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a

4342 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
4343 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
4344 in the Makefile directly.
4345 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
4347 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
4349 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
4350 here, where people expect to find them.
4352 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>

4378 (%open-file): removed.
4379 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):

4384 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
4385 (manifest): Deleted.
4386 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
