1 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
3 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
5 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
6 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
8 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
9 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
10 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
12 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
15 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
17 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
18 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
20 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
22 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
24 * * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
25 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
26 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
27 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
29 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
32 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
33 both forward and backward views of the stack
34 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
35 Use selector `frame-number';
36 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
37 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
39 Use readline conditionally.
41 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
43 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
44 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
45 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
47 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
48 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
51 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
53 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
55 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
57 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
59 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
61 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
63 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
64 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
65 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
66 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
67 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
68 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
69 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
70 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
71 libguile-config-stamp.
72 * version.scm.in: Delete.
73 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
74 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
75 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
76 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
78 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
80 * * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
81 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
82 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
84 * * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
85 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
86 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
87 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
90 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
92 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
94 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
96 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
98 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
99 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
101 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
103 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
104 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
105 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
106 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
107 objects starting with '#/'.
109 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
111 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
112 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
113 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
114 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
115 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
116 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
118 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
119 module-modified): New procedures.
120 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
121 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
123 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
125 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
128 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
130 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
131 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
132 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
134 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
137 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
139 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
140 at multiple calls to read.
141 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
142 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
143 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
144 continued-lines prompt.
146 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
149 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
151 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
152 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
154 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
156 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
157 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
160 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
162 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
163 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
165 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
166 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
167 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
168 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
169 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
172 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
174 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
175 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
177 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
179 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
180 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
181 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
182 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
184 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
186 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
188 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
189 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
190 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
193 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
195 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
196 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
197 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
198 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
199 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
200 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
201 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
202 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
203 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
204 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
205 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
207 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
209 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
210 peeked from the stream.
211 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
212 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
213 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
215 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
217 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
218 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
220 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
222 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
223 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
224 exiting repl with single control-D.
226 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
228 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
229 error catching loop after quit received.
230 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
232 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
233 primitive exit if non-interactive.
234 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
236 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
237 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
239 * popen.scm: new file.
241 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
243 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
244 (reverse-iota): removed.
246 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
248 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
249 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
251 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
253 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
254 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
255 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
256 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
257 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
259 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
261 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
263 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
264 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
266 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
267 Guile's module system.
269 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
271 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
272 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
273 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
274 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
275 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
276 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
278 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
279 '() when the condition is false.
281 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
283 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
285 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
287 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
289 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
291 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
292 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
293 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
295 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
297 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
298 argument order for hash-fold.
300 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
302 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
304 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
305 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
307 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
308 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
309 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
310 has been added to the load path).
314 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
316 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
317 module between system and user state.
319 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
321 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
323 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
326 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
328 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
329 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
330 system can create a wrapper class for it.
332 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
334 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
335 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
336 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
337 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
338 stack frame encountered.
340 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
341 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
342 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
343 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
346 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
347 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
348 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
349 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
352 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
353 define-module switches:
358 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
361 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
362 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
363 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
364 module it is a system frame.
366 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
367 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
368 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
369 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
370 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
372 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
373 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
374 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
375 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
376 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
377 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
379 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
381 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
382 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
384 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
385 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
386 closure to the module.
388 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
390 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
392 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
394 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
396 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
398 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
400 Fix from Russ McManus:
401 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
402 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
403 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
404 either an optional or required value.
406 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
408 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
410 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
411 of the '() key, not `rest'.
413 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
414 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
415 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
416 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
418 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
420 * optargs.scm: New file.
421 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
422 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
424 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
426 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
427 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
428 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
430 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
432 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
433 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
436 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
438 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
440 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
442 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
443 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
444 applied to the module itself.
446 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
448 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
450 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
451 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
453 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
455 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
457 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
459 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
461 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
463 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
464 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
466 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
468 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
469 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
470 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
471 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
472 among BINDINGS is referenced.
473 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
474 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
476 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
478 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
479 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
481 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
483 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
484 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
487 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
489 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
491 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
493 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
495 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
497 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
498 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
499 adapt to the new hooks.
501 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
503 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
504 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
505 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
507 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
508 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
510 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
511 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
512 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
513 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
514 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
515 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
516 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
517 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
518 first to register linked modules.
520 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
521 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
522 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
524 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
525 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
526 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
527 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
529 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
531 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
534 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
535 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
536 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
538 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
540 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
541 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
542 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
544 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
546 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
547 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
548 result of the last form.
550 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
552 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
555 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
557 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
558 readline-set!: New options interface.
560 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
562 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
564 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
565 at the end of boot-9.scm.
567 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
569 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
570 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
572 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
574 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
576 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
578 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
579 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
581 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
583 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
585 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
587 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
590 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
592 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
593 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
595 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
597 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
599 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
600 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
601 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
603 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
604 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
606 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
607 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
608 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
610 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
611 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
612 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
613 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
614 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
615 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
617 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
619 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
620 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
622 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
624 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
625 and short vectors #h(...).
627 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
629 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
630 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
631 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
633 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
635 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
636 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
637 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
639 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
641 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
642 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
644 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
645 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
646 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
647 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
649 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
651 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
654 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
655 order to allow the empty list as arg.
656 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
657 context with traps enabled.
659 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
661 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
663 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
665 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
667 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
668 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
669 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
670 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
671 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
673 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
675 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
676 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
678 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
680 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
682 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
684 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
686 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
688 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
690 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
692 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
693 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
695 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
697 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
698 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
699 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
700 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
703 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
704 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
705 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
707 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
709 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
710 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
711 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
712 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
713 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
714 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
715 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
717 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
719 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
721 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
723 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
724 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
725 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
726 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
727 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
728 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
730 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
732 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
733 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
734 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
737 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
739 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
741 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
743 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
745 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
747 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
750 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
752 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
754 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
756 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
757 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
759 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
761 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
762 similar in use to `use-modules'.
763 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
764 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
766 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
767 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
769 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
771 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
773 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
775 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
776 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
779 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
780 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
782 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
783 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
784 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
786 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
788 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
790 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
792 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
793 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
795 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
797 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
799 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
801 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
802 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
804 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
806 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
809 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
811 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
812 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
814 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
816 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
818 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
820 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
823 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
825 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
826 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
827 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
828 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
829 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
832 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
834 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
835 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
836 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
838 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
840 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
842 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
843 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
845 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
847 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
848 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
849 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
850 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
851 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
852 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
853 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
856 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
858 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
861 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
863 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
864 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
865 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
866 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
867 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
868 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
870 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
872 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
873 usefully so they will work from a script.
875 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
877 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
878 neighborhood of the record code.
880 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
882 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
883 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
884 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
885 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
887 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
889 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
890 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
891 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
893 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
895 Add support for readline function.
896 * readline.scm: New module.
897 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
898 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
899 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
901 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
902 repl-reader to use them.
903 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
905 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
907 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
909 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
910 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
912 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
914 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
915 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
916 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
918 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
920 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
921 #f, abort terminates the process.
922 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
923 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
925 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
927 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
928 print-state, throw it away.
930 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
932 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
935 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
937 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
938 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
939 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
940 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
942 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
943 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
945 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
947 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
949 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
951 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
952 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
953 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
954 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
955 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
957 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
958 distribution and installation.
959 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
961 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
963 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
965 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
967 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
968 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
969 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
971 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
972 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
975 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
977 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
979 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
981 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
983 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
984 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
985 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
986 field a separate argument.
988 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
990 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
992 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
994 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
998 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1000 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1002 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1004 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1005 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1006 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1007 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1008 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1009 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1011 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1012 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1013 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1014 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1015 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1018 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1020 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
1022 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1024 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1025 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1027 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1029 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1031 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1032 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1033 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1034 expansion inside the slib module.
1036 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1038 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1039 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
1040 (let): New core form.
1041 (if): Removed from core language.
1042 (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
1043 (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
1044 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1046 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1047 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1048 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1050 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1051 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1054 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1056 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1057 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1059 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1061 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1062 (make-module): Modified initialization.
1063 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1064 mutator for module-associated transformer.
1065 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1066 `scm:eval-transformer'.
1067 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1068 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1070 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1072 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1074 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1076 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1077 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1078 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1079 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1080 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1082 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1083 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1084 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1086 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1087 the syncase interface.
1089 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1091 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1092 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1093 workings of the current module system).
1095 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1097 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1098 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1101 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1103 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1104 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1105 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1107 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1109 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1110 according to the following priorities:
1111 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1112 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1114 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1115 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1116 (new-interpreter): New function.
1118 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1119 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1120 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1122 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1124 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1126 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1128 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
1130 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1132 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1134 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
1136 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1138 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1139 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
1142 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1144 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1145 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
1146 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
1147 symbols matching regexp.
1149 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
1150 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1153 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1154 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1155 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);

1157 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1159 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1160 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1162 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1164 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1165 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1167 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1168 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1170 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1172 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1174 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1175 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1176 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1178 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1180 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1181 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
1182 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1184 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1186 * session.scm: New file: Session support.
1187 (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.
1189 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1191 * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
1194 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1196 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1197 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1198 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1200 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1201 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1204 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1205 order to narrow it correctly.
1206 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1208 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1210 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
1211 (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
1213 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1215 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1217 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1219 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1220 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1222 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1224 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1225 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1226 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1228 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1230 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1233 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1235 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1236 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1237 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1238 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1239 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1241 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1243 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1244 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1247 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1249 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1251 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1252 poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1253 notation, instead of #/ notation.
1255 * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
1258 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1260 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1261 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1262 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1263 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1264 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1265 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1267 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1268 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1269 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1270 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1272 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1274 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1275 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1276 sending in bug reports.
1277 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1278 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1279 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1280 display a warning if the two are different.
1281 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1282 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1283 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1285 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1287 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1289 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1291 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1292 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1294 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1295 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1296 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1297 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1298 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1299 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1302 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1303 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1306 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1307 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1309 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1312 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1315 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1317 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1320 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1322 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1323 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1325 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1327 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1328 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1329 to support printing of structures.
1330 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1331 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1332 commented out printing code.
1333 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1334 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1336 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1338 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1340 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1342 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1343 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1344 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1345 during call to scm-style-repl.
1347 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1349 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1350 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1351 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1352 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1353 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1355 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1357 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1358 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1361 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1363 * regex.scm: New file.
1364 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1365 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1367 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1369 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1370 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1371 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1372 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1374 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1376 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1379 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1381 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1382 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1383 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1385 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1387 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1388 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1391 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1393 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1395 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1397 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1399 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1401 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1402 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1405 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1407 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1408 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1409 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1411 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1413 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1414 the Scheme code like code yet.
1415 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1417 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1419 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1420 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1421 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1423 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1425 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1427 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1430 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1432 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1434 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1436 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1438 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1439 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1440 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1442 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1444 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1445 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1446 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1448 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1450 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1451 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1453 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1455 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1458 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1460 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1462 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1464 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1465 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1467 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1469 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1470 instead of in libguile.
1471 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1472 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1474 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1476 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1478 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1479 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1481 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1483 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1484 sockaddr:port): new functions.
1486 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1488 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1489 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1490 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1491 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1493 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1495 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1496 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1498 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1500 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1502 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1504 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1505 keywords and symbols.
1507 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1509 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1511 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1512 Don't define read-sharp.
1514 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1515 (read-sharp): removed.
1516 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1517 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1519 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1521 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1523 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
1524 primitive procedure.)
1526 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1527 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1529 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1531 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1533 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1535 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1537 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1539 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1541 * (exit): alias for quit.
1543 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1545 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1546 return the quit args.
1547 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1548 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1549 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1551 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1553 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1555 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1557 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1558 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1560 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1561 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1563 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1564 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1567 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1569 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1571 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1572 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1573 Change hooks to use these functions.
1575 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1576 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1577 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1579 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1580 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1581 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1582 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1583 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1584 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1585 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1588 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1589 and exit-frame exceptions.
1591 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1592 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1593 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1594 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1595 result; otherwise display "> ".
1596 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1598 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1599 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1600 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1601 repository version runnable.
1603 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1605 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1606 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1607 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1608 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1609 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1610 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1612 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1614 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1615 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1617 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1619 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1620 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1622 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1624 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1626 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1628 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1631 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1633 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1634 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1636 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1638 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1641 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1643 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1644 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1646 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1648 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1650 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1651 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1652 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1653 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1654 dynamic linking of modules.
1655 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1656 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1658 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1660 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1662 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1664 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1667 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1668 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1671 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1673 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1674 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1675 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1677 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1679 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1680 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1683 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1685 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1686 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1687 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1689 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1691 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1692 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1693 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1694 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1696 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1697 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1698 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1699 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1700 (such as the-scm-module).
1702 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1704 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1707 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1709 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1710 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1711 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1713 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1715 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1716 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1717 function, use it accordingly.
1719 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1721 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1722 function of no arguments.
1723 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1724 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1725 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1726 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1727 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1728 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1729 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1730 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1732 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1734 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1735 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1737 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1739 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1740 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1741 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1742 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1743 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1745 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1748 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1749 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1750 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1751 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1753 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1755 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1757 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1758 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1759 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1761 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1764 Added `before-read-hook'.
1766 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1768 (provide): New function.
1770 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1773 (backtrace): New function.
1775 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1776 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1777 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1778 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1779 is found in operator position in a frame.
1781 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1784 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1785 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1786 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1788 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1790 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1792 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1794 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1796 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1798 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1800 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1801 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
1803 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1804 so they'll get distributed.
1806 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
1807 should see as little clutter as possible.
1808 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1809 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1810 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1812 * r4rs.scm: New file.
1813 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1814 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1815 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1816 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1817 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1818 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1819 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1820 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1821 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1823 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1824 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1826 * test.scm: New file.
1828 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1829 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
1830 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1832 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1833 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1835 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1837 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
1838 call %load-announce.
1840 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1842 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1843 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1844 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1846 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1848 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1850 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1851 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1852 SCSH (which this isn't).
1854 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1856 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1858 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1860 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1861 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1862 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1864 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
1865 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
1866 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1867 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1870 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1872 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1874 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1876 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1877 error-catching-loop.
1878 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1879 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1880 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1882 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1883 error-catching-loop.
1885 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1887 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1888 (make-module): Rework for readability.
1889 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1890 should be '(), not #f.
1892 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1893 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1895 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1897 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1898 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1901 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1903 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1904 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1905 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1906 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1908 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1910 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1912 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1914 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1916 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1917 throw-handler-default.
1918 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1920 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1922 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1923 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1925 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1927 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1928 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1929 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1930 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1932 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1934 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1935 Append "." to the default %load-path.
1936 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1937 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1939 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1940 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1941 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1942 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1945 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1947 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1949 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1952 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1955 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1957 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1959 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1960 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1962 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1964 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1966 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1968 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1970 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
1971 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1972 Don't set up 'error as a key.
1973 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1974 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1976 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1977 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1978 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1979 they seem redundant.
1980 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1981 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
1982 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1983 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
1984 directly files starting with "/").
1985 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1986 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1988 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1990 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1992 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1993 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1994 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
1995 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1996 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1997 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1998 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
1999 robust to just do it in the C code.
2001 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2003 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2004 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2005 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2006 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2007 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2009 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2011 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2012 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2013 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2015 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2017 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2018 system-error, not every kind of error.
2019 (scm-error): new procedure.
2021 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2023 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2025 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2027 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2028 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2029 of args are supplied.
2030 (%%system-errors): removed.
2031 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2032 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2033 %%handle-system-error.
2034 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2035 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2036 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2037 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2039 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2041 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2042 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2043 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2044 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2046 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2048 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2049 the empty list if they are #f.
2050 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2052 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2054 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2056 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2057 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2058 aborting, just the key and subr.
2059 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2060 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2061 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2063 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2065 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2066 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2067 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2068 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2069 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2071 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2073 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2074 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2075 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2076 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2078 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2080 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2081 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2082 initialize %load-path.
2084 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2085 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2087 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2089 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2090 Add the directory named after the version number.
2091 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2092 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2093 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2094 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2095 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2096 (install): Create the above directories.
2097 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2098 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2100 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2102 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2103 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2104 in the Makefile directly.
2105 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2107 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2109 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2110 here, where people expect to find them.

2134 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2135 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2136 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2137 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2138 (%open-file): removed.
2139 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):

2144 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2145 (manifest): Deleted.
2146 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

2149 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2151 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
