1 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
4 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
5 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
6 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
8 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
10 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
11 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
13 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
15 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
16 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
18 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
20 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
23 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
25 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
26 source of the numerous very short changes.
28 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
30 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
33 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
36 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
38 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
41 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
43 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
44 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
46 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
48 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
51 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
53 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
54 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
55 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
57 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
59 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
60 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
61 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
62 Narazaki for this change.
64 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
66 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
67 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
70 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
71 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
73 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
75 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
76 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
78 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
80 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
81 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
82 use define-public to export from the module.
84 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
86 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
87 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
88 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
90 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
92 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
94 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
96 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
97 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
99 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
101 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
103 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
105 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
107 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
109 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
110 long_long uniform vectors.
112 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
114 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
115 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
117 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
119 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
120 script to create generated files like this one.
122 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
124 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
125 available before using getpw and getuid.
126 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
127 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
129 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
130 check for .guile, instead of stat.
131 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
133 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
134 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
135 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
137 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
138 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
140 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
142 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
144 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
147 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
148 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
150 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
152 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
154 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
155 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
156 ("position"): New command.
157 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
158 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
159 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
160 to return a valid state.)
161 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
163 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
165 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
166 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
169 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
171 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
172 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
174 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
176 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
178 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
180 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
181 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
183 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
184 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
185 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
187 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
190 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
192 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
193 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
195 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
197 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
199 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
200 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
201 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
202 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
204 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
207 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
208 both forward and backward views of the stack
209 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
210 Use selector `frame-number';
211 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
212 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
214 Use readline conditionally.
216 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
218 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
219 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
220 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
222 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
223 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
226 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
228 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
230 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
232 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
234 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
236 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
238 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
239 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
240 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
241 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
242 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
243 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
244 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
245 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
246 libguile-config-stamp.
247 * version.scm.in: Delete.
248 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
249 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
250 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
251 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
253 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
255 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
256 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
257 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
259 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
260 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
261 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
262 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
265 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
267 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
269 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
271 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
273 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
274 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
276 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
278 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
279 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
280 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
281 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
282 objects starting with '#/'.
284 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
286 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
287 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
288 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
289 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
290 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
291 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
293 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
294 module-modified): New procedures.
295 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
296 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
298 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
300 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
303 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
305 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
306 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
307 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
309 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
312 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
314 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
315 at multiple calls to read.
316 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
317 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
318 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
319 continued-lines prompt.
321 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
324 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
326 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
327 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
329 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
331 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
332 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
335 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
337 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
338 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
340 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
341 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
342 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
343 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
344 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
347 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
349 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
350 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
352 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
354 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
355 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
356 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
357 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
359 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
361 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
363 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
364 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
365 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
368 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
370 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
371 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
372 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
373 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
374 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
375 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
376 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
377 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
378 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
379 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
380 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
382 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
384 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
385 peeked from the stream.
386 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
387 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
388 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
390 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
392 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
393 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
395 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
397 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
398 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
399 exiting repl with single control-D.
401 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
403 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
404 error catching loop after quit received.
405 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
407 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
408 primitive exit if non-interactive.
409 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
411 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
412 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
414 * popen.scm: new file.
416 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
418 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
419 (reverse-iota): removed.
421 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
423 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
424 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
426 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
428 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
429 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
430 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
431 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
432 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
434 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
436 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
438 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
439 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
441 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
442 Guile's module system.
444 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
446 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
447 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
448 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
449 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
450 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
451 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
453 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
454 '() when the condition is false.
456 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
458 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
460 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
462 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
464 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
466 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
467 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
468 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
470 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
472 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
473 argument order for hash-fold.
475 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
477 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
479 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
480 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
482 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
483 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
484 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
485 has been added to the load path).
489 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
491 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
492 module between system and user state.
494 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
496 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
498 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
501 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
503 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
504 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
505 system can create a wrapper class for it.
507 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
509 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
510 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
511 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
512 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
513 stack frame encountered.
515 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
516 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
517 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
518 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
521 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
522 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
523 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
524 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
527 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
528 define-module switches:
533 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
536 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
537 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
538 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
539 module it is a system frame.
541 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
542 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
543 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
544 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
545 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
547 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
548 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
549 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
550 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
551 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
552 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
554 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
556 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
557 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
559 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
560 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
561 closure to the module.
563 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
565 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
567 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
569 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
571 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
573 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
575 Fix from Russ McManus:
576 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
577 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
578 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
579 either an optional or required value.
581 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
583 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
585 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
586 of the '() key, not `rest'.
588 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
589 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
590 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
591 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
593 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
595 * optargs.scm: New file.
596 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
597 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
599 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
601 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
602 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
603 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
605 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
607 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
608 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
611 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
613 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
615 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
617 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
618 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
619 applied to the module itself.
621 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
623 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
625 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
626 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
628 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
630 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
632 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
634 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
636 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
638 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
639 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
641 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
643 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
644 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
645 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
646 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
647 among BINDINGS is referenced.
648 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
649 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
651 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
653 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
654 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
656 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
658 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
659 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
662 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
664 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
666 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
668 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
670 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
672 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
673 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
674 adapt to the new hooks.
676 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
678 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
679 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
680 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
682 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
683 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
685 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
686 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
687 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
688 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
689 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
690 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
691 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
692 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
693 first to register linked modules.
695 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
696 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
697 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
699 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
700 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
701 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
702 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
704 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
706 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
709 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
710 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
711 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
713 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
715 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
716 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
717 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
719 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
721 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
722 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
723 result of the last form.
725 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
727 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
730 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
732 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
733 readline-set!: New options interface.
735 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
737 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
739 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
740 at the end of boot-9.scm.
742 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
744 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
745 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
747 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
749 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
751 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
753 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
754 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
756 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
758 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
760 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
762 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
765 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
767 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
768 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
770 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
772 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
774 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
775 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
776 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
778 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
779 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
781 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
782 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
783 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
785 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
786 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
787 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
788 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
789 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
790 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
792 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
794 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
795 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
797 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
799 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
800 and short vectors #h(...).
802 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
804 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
805 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
806 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
808 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
810 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
811 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
812 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
814 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
816 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
817 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
819 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
820 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
821 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
822 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
824 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
826 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
829 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
830 order to allow the empty list as arg.
831 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
832 context with traps enabled.
834 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
836 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
838 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
840 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
842 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
843 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
844 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
845 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
846 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
848 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
850 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
851 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
853 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
855 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
857 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
859 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
861 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
863 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
865 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
867 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
868 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
870 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
872 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
873 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
874 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
875 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
878 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
879 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
880 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
882 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
884 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
885 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
886 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
887 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
888 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
889 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
890 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
892 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
894 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
896 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
898 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
899 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
900 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
901 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
902 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
903 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
905 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
907 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
908 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
909 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
912 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
914 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
916 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
918 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
920 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
922 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
925 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
927 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
929 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
931 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
932 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
934 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
936 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
937 similar in use to `use-modules'.
938 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
939 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
941 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
942 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
944 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
946 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
948 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
950 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
951 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
954 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
955 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
957 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
958 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
959 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
961 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
963 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
965 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
967 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
968 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
970 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
972 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
974 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
976 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
977 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
979 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
981 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
984 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
986 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
987 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
989 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
991 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
993 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
995 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
998 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1000 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1001 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
1002 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1003 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1004 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1007 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1009 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1010 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1011 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1013 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1015 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1017 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1018 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1020 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1022 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1023 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1024 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1025 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1026 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1027 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1028 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1031 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1033 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1036 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1038 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1039 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1040 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1041 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1042 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1043 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1045 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1047 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1048 usefully so they will work from a script.
1050 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1052 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1053 neighborhood of the record code.
1055 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1057 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1058 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1059 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1060 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1062 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1064 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1065 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1066 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1068 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1070 Add support for readline function.
1071 * readline.scm: New module.
1072 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1073 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1074 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1076 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1077 repl-reader to use them.
1078 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1080 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1082 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1084 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1085 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1087 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1089 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1090 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1091 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1093 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1095 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
1096 #f, abort terminates the process.
1097 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1098 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1100 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1102 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1103 print-state, throw it away.
1105 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1107 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1110 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1112 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1113 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1114 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1115 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1117 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1118 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1120 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1122 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1124 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1126 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1127 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1128 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1129 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1130 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1132 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1133 distribution and installation.
1134 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1136 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1138 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1140 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1142 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1143 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1144 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1146 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1147 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1150 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1152 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1154 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1156 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1158 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1159 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1160 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1161 field a separate argument.
1163 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1165 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1167 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1169 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1173 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1175 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1177 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1180 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1181 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1182 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1183 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1184 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1186 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1187 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1188 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1189 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1190 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1193 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1195 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

1200 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1202 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1204 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1206 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1207 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1208 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1209 expansion inside the slib module.
1211 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1213 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1214 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

1219 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1221 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1222 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1223 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1225 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1226 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1229 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1231 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1232 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1234 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1236 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1237 (make-module): Modified initialization.
1238 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1239 mutator for module-associated transformer.
1240 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1241 `scm:eval-transformer'.
1242 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1243 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1245 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1247 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1249 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1251 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1252 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1253 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1254 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1255 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1257 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1258 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1259 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1261 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1262 the syncase interface.
1264 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1266 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1267 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1268 workings of the current module system).
1270 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1272 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1273 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1276 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1278 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1279 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1280 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1282 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1284 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1285 according to the following priorities:
1286 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1287 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1289 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1290 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1291 (new-interpreter): New function.
1293 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1294 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1295 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1297 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1299 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1301 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1303 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
1305 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1307 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1309 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
1311 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1313 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1314 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
1317 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1319 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1320 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
1321 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
1322 symbols matching regexp.
1324 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
1325 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1328 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1329 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1330 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1331 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1332 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1334 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1335 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1337 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1339 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1340 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1342 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1343 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1345 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1347 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1349 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1350 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1351 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1353 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1355 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

1357 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1359 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1361 * session.scm: New file: Session support.

1369 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1371 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1372 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1373 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1375 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1376 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1379 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1380 order to narrow it correctly.
1381 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1383 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1385 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
1386 (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
1388 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1390 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1392 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1394 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1395 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1397 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1399 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1400 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1401 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1403 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1405 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1408 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1410 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1411 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1412 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1413 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1414 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1416 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1418 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1419 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1422 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.

1435 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1436 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1437 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1438 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1439 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1440 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1442 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1443 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1444 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1445 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1447 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1449 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1450 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1451 sending in bug reports.
1452 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1453 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1454 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1455 display a warning if the two are different.
1456 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1457 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1458 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1460 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1462 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1464 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1466 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1467 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1469 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1470 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1471 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1472 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1473 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1474 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1477 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1478 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1481 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1482 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1484 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1487 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1490 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1495 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1497 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1498 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1500 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1502 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1503 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1504 to support printing of structures.
1505 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1506 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1507 commented out printing code.
1508 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1509 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1511 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

1515 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1517 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1518 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1519 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1520 during call to scm-style-repl.
1522 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1524 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1525 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1526 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1527 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1528 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1530 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1532 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1533 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1536 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1538 * regex.scm: New file.
1539 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1540 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1542 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1544 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1545 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1546 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1547 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1549 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1551 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1554 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1556 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1557 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1558 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1560 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1562 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1563 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1566 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1568 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1570 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1572 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1574 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1576 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1577 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1580 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1582 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1583 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1584 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1586 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1588 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1589 the Scheme code like code yet.
1590 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1592 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1594 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1595 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1596 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1598 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1600 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1602 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1605 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1607 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1609 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1611 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1613 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1614 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1615 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1617 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1619 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1620 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1621 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1623 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1625 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1626 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1628 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1630 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1633 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1635 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1637 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1639 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1640 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1642 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1644 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1645 instead of in libguile.
1646 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1647 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1649 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1651 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1653 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1654 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1656 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1658 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1659 sockaddr:port): new functions.
1661 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1663 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1664 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1665 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1666 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1668 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1670 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1671 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1673 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1675 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1677 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1679 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1680 keywords and symbols.
1682 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1684 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1686 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1687 Don't define read-sharp.
1689 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1690 (read-sharp): removed.
1691 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1692 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1694 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1696 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1698 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
1699 primitive procedure.)
1701 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1702 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1704 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1706 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1708 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1710 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1712 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1714 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1716 * (exit): alias for quit.
1718 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1720 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1721 return the quit args.
1722 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1723 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1724 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1726 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1728 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1730 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1732 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1733 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1735 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1736 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1738 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1739 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1742 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1744 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1746 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1747 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1748 Change hooks to use these functions.
1750 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1751 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1752 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1754 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1755 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1756 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1757 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1758 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1759 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1760 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1763 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1764 and exit-frame exceptions.
1766 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1767 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1768 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1769 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1770 result; otherwise display "> ".
1771 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1773 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1774 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1775 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1776 repository version runnable.
1778 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1780 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1781 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1782 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1783 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1784 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1785 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1787 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1789 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1790 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1792 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1794 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1795 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1797 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1799 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1801 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1803 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1806 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1808 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1809 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1811 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1813 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1816 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1818 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1819 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1821 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1823 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1825 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1826 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1827 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1828 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1829 dynamic linking of modules.
1830 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1831 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1833 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1835 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1837 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1839 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1842 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1843 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1846 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1848 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1849 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1850 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1852 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1854 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1855 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1858 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1860 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1861 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1862 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1864 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1866 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1867 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1868 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1869 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1871 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1872 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1873 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1874 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1875 (such as the-scm-module).
1877 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1879 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1882 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1884 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1885 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1886 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1888 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1890 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1891 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1892 function, use it accordingly.
1894 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1896 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1897 function of no arguments.
1898 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1899 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1900 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1901 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1902 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1903 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1904 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1905 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1907 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1909 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1910 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1912 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1914 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1915 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1916 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1917 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1918 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1920 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1923 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1924 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1925 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1926 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1928 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1930 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1932 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1933 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1934 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1936 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1939 Added `before-read-hook'.
1941 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1943 (provide): New function.
1945 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1948 (backtrace): New function.
1950 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1951 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1952 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1953 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1954 is found in operator position in a frame.
1956 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1959 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1960 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1961 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1963 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1965 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1967 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1969 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1971 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1973 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1975 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1976 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
1978 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1979 so they'll get distributed.
1981 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
1982 should see as little clutter as possible.
1983 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1984 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1985 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1987 * r4rs.scm: New file.
1988 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1989 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1990 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1991 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1992 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1993 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1994 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1995 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1996 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1998 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1999 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2001 * test.scm: New file.
2003 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2004 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
2005 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2007 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2008 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2010 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2012 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2013 call %load-announce.
2015 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2017 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2018 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2019 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2021 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2023 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2025 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2026 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2027 SCSH (which this isn't).
2029 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2031 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2033 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2035 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2036 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2037 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2039 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2040 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2041 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2042 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2045 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2047 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2049 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2051 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2052 error-catching-loop.
2053 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2054 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2055 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2057 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2058 error-catching-loop.
2060 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2062 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2063 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2064 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2065 should be '(), not #f.
2067 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2068 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2070 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2072 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2073 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2076 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2078 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2079 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2080 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2081 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2083 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2085 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2087 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2089 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2091 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2092 throw-handler-default.
2093 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2095 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2097 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2098 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2100 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2102 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2103 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2104 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2105 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2107 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2109 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2110 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2111 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2112 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2114 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2115 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2116 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2117 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2120 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2122 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2124 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2127 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2130 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2132 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2134 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2135 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2137 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2139 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2141 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2143 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2145 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2146 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2147 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2148 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2149 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2151 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2152 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2153 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2154 they seem redundant.
2155 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2156 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2157 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2158 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2159 directly files starting with "/").
2160 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2161 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2163 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2165 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2167 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2168 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2169 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2170 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2171 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2172 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2173 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2174 robust to just do it in the C code.
2176 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2178 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2179 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2180 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2181 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2182 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2184 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2186 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2187 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2188 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2190 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2192 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2193 system-error, not every kind of error.
2194 (scm-error): new procedure.
2196 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2198 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2200 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2202 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2203 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2204 of args are supplied.
2205 (%%system-errors): removed.
2206 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2207 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2208 %%handle-system-error.
2209 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2210 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2211 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2212 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2214 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2216 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2217 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2218 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2219 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2221 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2223 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2224 the empty list if they are #f.
2225 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2227 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2229 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2231 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2232 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2233 aborting, just the key and subr.
2234 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2235 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2236 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2238 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2240 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2241 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2242 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2243 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2244 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2246 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2248 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2249 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2250 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2251 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2253 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2255 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2256 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2257 initialize %load-path.
2259 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2260 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2262 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2264 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2265 Add the directory named after the version number.
2266 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2267 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2268 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2269 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2270 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2271 (install): Create the above directories.
2272 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2273 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2275 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2277 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2278 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2279 in the Makefile directly.
2280 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2282 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2284 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2285 here, where people expect to find them.
2287 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2289 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2290 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2292 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2294 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2296 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2297 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2299 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2301 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2302 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2304 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2305 weak-key-hash-table.
2307 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2309 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2310 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2311 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2312 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2313 (%open-file): removed.
2314 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2315 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2317 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2319 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2320 (manifest): Deleted.
2321 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2322 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2324 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2326 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2327 now that they throw errors directly.
2328 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2329 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2331 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2333 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2335 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
2337 * The more things change...
