   1 2005-07-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
   2
   3         * debugger.scm: Remove comments which are now incorrect.
   4
   5         * debugger/Makefile.am (ice9_debugger_sources): Removed
   6         breakpoints.scm, behaviour.scm, trap-hooks.scm.
   7         (SUBDIRS): Removed.
   8
   9         Changes to remove breakpoint support from CVS, as I am now
  10         developing this function outside Guile core.
  11
  12         * debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
  13         trace-finish, step, next): Removed.
  14
  15         * debugger/breakpoints/*: Removed.
  16
  17         * debugger/breakpoints.scm: Removed.
  18
  19         * debugger/command-loop.scm: Remove command definitions for
  20         continue, finish, trace-finish, step and next.
  21
  22         * debugger/behaviour.scm: Removed.
  23

  25
  26 2005-06-10  Han-Wen Nienhuys  <hanwen@xs4all.nl>
  27
  28         * boot-9.scm (set-module-eval-closure!): remove
  29         set-procedure-property! closure 'module. Setting this property
  30         causes un-gc-able modules.
  31
  32 2005-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  33
  34         * boot-9.scm (substring-fill!): New, for compatability.
  35
  36 2005-04-23  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  37
  38         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Moved to C code in list.c
  39
  40 2005-04-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  41
  42         * boot-9.scm (1+, 1-): Moved to numbers.c.
  43
  44 2005-03-08  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  45
  46         * slib.scm (*features*): Remove 'random, need to use the slib code for
  47         that module since guile doesn't provide `random:chunk'.
  48
  49 2005-02-12  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
  50
  51         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): add srfi-55.
  52         (require-extension): add require-extension macro for srfi-55.
  53
  54 2005-01-29  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  55
  56         * regex.scm (regexp-quote): Use string-for-each, now that function is
  57         in the core.
  58
  59 2005-01-28  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  60
  61         * boot-9.scm (while): Remove the unquote from do, it breaks with ice-9
  62         syncase.  Reported by Pach Roman.
  63
  64 2005-01-10  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  65
  66         * arrays.scm, deprecated.scm (uniform-vector-fill!,
  67         make-uniform-vector, make-uniform-array, list->uniform-vector):
  68         Moved from arrays.scm to deprecated.scm.
  69         * arrays.scm, boot-9.scm (array-dimensions): Moved from arrays.scm
  70         to boo-9.scm.
  71         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed arrays.scm.
  72
  73 2005-01-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  74
  75         * arrays.scm (uniform-vector-fill!, make-uniform-vector,
  76         make-uniform-array,list->uniform-array): Deprecated for real.
  77
  78 2004-12-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  79
  80         * arrays.scm (make-array, list->array): Removed.
  81         (uniform-vector-fill!): Prepared to be deprecated.
  82
  83 2004-12-22  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  84
  85         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): When creating a new
  86         variable, initialize it to the value of any imported variable with
  87         the given name.  This allows code like (define round round) to
  88         work as expected.
  89
  90         From Antoine Mathys <tonigonenstein@users.sourceforge.net>:
  91
  92         * popen.scm: Support bidirectional communication by making
  93         open-pipe support OPEN_BOTH as second argument and in that case
  94         return a soft input-output port which uses two pipes internally.
  95         Provide open-pipe* to execute programs without using the shell
  96         (and actually base open-pipe on it) and the obvious
  97         open-input-output-pipe.
  98
  99 2004-12-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 100
 101         * boot-9.scm: (string-any, string-every): Use a scheme wrapper around
 102         the C code so for the final call to the predicate procedure is a tail
 103         call, per SRFI-13 spec.
 104
 105 2004-12-01  mvo  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 106
 107         * boot-9.scm (app, %app): Renamed former to the latter.
 108         Previously, 'app' was reserved in every module.  Now '%app' is
 109         reserved, which is slightly better.  The real fix is to not use
 110         'local-ref' etc to find modules.  Changed all uses.
 111         * syncase.scm: Changed 'app' to '%app'.
 112
 113 2004-11-12  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 114
 115         * arrays.scm: Do not use prototypes, use creator functions.
 116
 117 2004-11-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 118
 119         * arrays.scm (uniform-vector-read!, uniform-vector-write):
 120         Removed.
 121
 122 2004-11-05  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 123
 124         * boot-9.scm: Do not add "." to %load-path. 'load' will still be
 125         able to load files in the current directory, but 'use-modules' etc
 126         will not.
 127
 128 2004-10-29  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 129
 130         * arrays.scm: Do not install read-hash procedure for reading
 131         arrays, this is done in libguile now.
 132
 133 2004-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 134
 135         * arrays.scm (uniform-vector?, uniform-vector-set!): Removed, now
 136         provided by libguile.
 137
 138 2004-10-26  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 139
 140         * boot-9.scm: Added srfi-4 to cond-expand features.
 141
 142 2004-10-18  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 143
 144         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Simplified considerably by using
 145         object->string or display instead of implementing our own printer.
 146         Handle format:read-proof here.  Unreadable objects are recognized
 147         by their "#<" prefix instead of by being unknown to the custom
 148         printer (which would treat keywords as unprintable, for example).
 149         (format:iobj->str): Removed.
 150
 151 2004-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 152
 153         * boot-9.scm (symbol->keyword, keyword->symbol): Removed, they are
 154         now implemented in C.
 155
 156 2004-09-26  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 157
 158         * optargs.scm (let-optional-template, let-keywords-template): Change
 159         "(begin body)" to "(let () body)" for empty bindings, since the former
 160         allows "internal defines" in body leak out to the surrounding
 161         environment.
 162
 163 2004-09-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 164
 165         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Pass rest argument to
 166         display-backtrace for wrong-type-arg and out-of-range errors so
 167         that the bad value gets highlighted.
 168
 169 2004-09-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 170
 171         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): Correction, should recurse into
 172         itself, not stream-for-each-one.
 173
 174         * time.scm (time-proc): Make result inexact, since format ~f doesn't
 175         support fractions currently.
 176
 177 2004-09-08  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 178
 179         * boot-9.scm (expt): Only call integer-expt for an exact integer
 180         exponent, not for an inexact integer one.  Also, let integer-expt
 181         handle negative exponents instead of doing it here.
 182
 183 2004-09-02  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 184
 185         * format.scm (format:out): Ignore excess arguments, per common lisp.
 186
 187         * format.scm (format:out-num-padded): Print "+" on 0 under @ modifier.
 188
 189 2004-08-27  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 190
 191         * regex.scm (regexp-quote): [ and | must be quoted.  Quote ( ) { + ?
 192         using char class [(] etc since \( in fact makes them become special in
 193         regexp/basic.
 194
 195 2004-08-25  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 196
 197         * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Give #t for an empty body, per srfi-2
 198         spec, previously came out as an empty (begin).
 199
 200 2004-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 201
 202         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Added srfi-13 and srfi-14.
 203
 204 2004-08-20  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 205
 206         * debugger/utils.scm (display-source): Use unmemoize-expr instead
 207         of unmemoize.
 208         (write-frame-short/expression): Likewise.
 209
 210 2004-08-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 211
 212         * and-let-star.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-2, since this module
 213         provides that feature.
 214         * receive.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-8, since this module
 215         provides that feature.
 216
 217 2004-08-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 218
 219         From Matthias Koeppe.  Thanks!
 220
 221         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): In the local procedure `wr', use
 222         object->string to print all data (except for the reader macros),
 223         rather than implementing an own printer.  The user-visible
 224         difference is that procedures and control characters like #\tab
 225         are now printed in the same way as by `write'.
 226
 227 2004-08-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 228
 229         * slib.scm (*features*): Remove array and array-for-each, core
 230         definitions are insufficient for latest slib.
 231         (t, nil): New constants slib says are supposed to exist.
 232         (call-with-open-ports, browse-url): New functions for latest slib.
 233         Implementations taken from Template.scm (public domain).
 234         (open-file): Extend core definition to accept symbols for the mode,
 235         required by latest slib.
 236         (delete-file): Replace core definition with version returning #t/#f as
 237         per slib spec.
 238         (system): Mark as #:replace to suppress override warning, use new
 239         style "(@ (guile) system)" to call core function.
 240
 241 2004-05-25  Matthias Koeppe  <mkoeppe@mail.math.uni-magdeburg.de>
 242
 243         * format.scm: Remove the arbitrary limit of 100 iterations for the
 244         ~{...~} control structure.
 245
 246 2004-07-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 247
 248         * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Remove unused variable "val".
 249         * pretty-print.scm (read-macro-prefix): Remove unused variable "tail".
 250
 251         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Add srfi-6 which is in the core.
 252
 253         * safe-r5rs.scm (re-export): Uncomment numerator, denominator,
 254         rationalize, since they now exist.
 255
 256 2004-07-05  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 257
 258         * slib.scm (system): Correction to redefinition, now guile is stricter
 259         about when a define binding comes into existance.
 260
 261 2004-05-29  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
 262
 263         * boot-9.scm: Reordered definitions such that macro definitions
 264         preceed their first usage.  Include and define deprecated stuff
 265         late in the file to have a better change of detecting accidental
 266         uses of deprecated definitions. Further, unified the layout a
 267         little and grouped definitions more cleanly into topics.
 268
 269 2004-05-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 270
 271         * history.scm (use-value-history): Use resolve-interface instead
 272         of resolve-module so that only the exported bindings are searched.
 273         (save-value-history): Export the newly defined variable.  Reported
 274         by Wolfgang Jaehrling.
 275
 276 2004-05-04  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
 277
 278         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): Always start searching from the
 279         root module.  This will allow the C equivalent scm_resolve_module
 280         to work, independent of what the current module is.
 281
 282 2004-02-18  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 283
 284         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Make the (guile-user) module use the
 285         (ice-9 r5rs) module.
 286
 287 2004-02-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 288
 289         * boot-9.scm (module-map): Renamed hash-map -> hash-map->list.
 290
 291 2004-02-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 292
 293         * debugger/trap-hooks.scm (debug-hook-membership): New, exported.
 294
 295         * debugger/commands.scm (debug-trap-hooks): New, exported.
 296
 297 2004-02-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 298
 299         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES),
 300         debugger/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES), Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES): Use
 301         this variable instead of ETAGS_ARGS so that TAGS can be built
 302         using separate build directory.
 303
 304 2004-01-20  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 305
 306         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Back out 2003-11-19 change to
 307         lazy-handler-dispatch lookup.
 308
 309 2004-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 310
 311         * mapping.scm: Use '#:' prefix for keywords instead of ':'.
 312         Thanks to Richard Todd!
 313
 314 2004-01-11  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 315
 316         * slib.scm (system): New function, giving an exit code return in
 317         accordance with slib spec.
 318
 319         Revert this, it breaks test-suite/tests/r5rs_pitfalls.test where
 320         false-if-exception is used within syntax-rules.  (Suspect syntax-rules
 321         ought to support this sort of thing, but it doesn't right now.)
 322         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
 323         to depend on expansion environment.
 324
 325 2004-01-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 326
 327         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): Use with-fluid* when only one fluid is
 328         being set.
 329
 330 2004-01-07  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 331
 332         * q.scm (q-pop!): Should be "null?" not "not" for end-of-list.
 333         Reported by Richard Todd.
 334
 335 2004-01-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 336
 337         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
 338         to depend on expansion environment.
 339
 340         * slib.scm (-1+, <?, <=?, =?, >?, >=?): Define as aliases for 1-, <,
 341         <=, =, >, >= respectively, required by slib 'rev2-procedures but no
 342         longer in the guile core.
 343
 344 2003-11-19  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 345
 346         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Defer lookup of
 347         lazy-handler-dispatch.
 348
 349 2003-11-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 350
 351         * boot-9.scm (@, @@): New macros.
 352
 353 2003-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 354
 355         * boot-9.scm: Started comment about module system workings.
 356
 357 2003-11-11  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 358
 359         * debugger.scm: Change ui-* calls to gds-*.
 360         (debug-on-error): Debug if throw key is in specified syms, not if
 361         it isn't!  Also throw 'abort after debugging, so as to skip the
 362         REPL's backtrace.
 363
 364         * debugger/behaviour.scm (*trap*): New variable, stores trap type.
 365         (before-enter-frame-hook, before-apply-frame-hook,
 366         before-exit-frame-hook): Set here.
 367         (debug-if-flag-set): Passed into flags on debug-stack call.
 368         (at-step, at-next): Changed to debug at frame exit points as well.
 369
 370         * debugger/utils.scm: Big comment added.
 371
 372 2003-10-30  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 373
 374         * debugger/ui-client.scm: Moved to ../emacs/gds-client.scm.
 375
 376 2003-10-16  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 377
 378         * debugger/ui-client.scm (ui-connect): Add arg to say whether to
 379         debug immediately on connection.
 380         (ui-eval): Handle exceptions during read and evaluation.
 381
 382         * debugger.scm (debug-on-error, default-default-lazy-handler):
 383         Remove an unnecessary level of indirection in calling lazy
 384         handler.
 385

 392
 393         * poe.scm (funcq-assoc): Rewrite, don't assume '() is false, and

 397
 398         * debugger/ui-client.scm (handle-instruction): Add evaluation
 399         support.
 400         (ui-eval): New.

 403
 404         * debugger/ui-client.scm (ui-disable-async-thread,

 406         (ui-command-loop): Call ui-disable-async-thread and
 407         ui-continue-async-thread.
 408         (handle-instruction): Read terminating newline char so it doesn't
 409         cause following select to pop immediately.
 410
 411 2003-09-25  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 412
 413         * debugger/ui-client.scm, debugger/ui-server.scm: New (work in
 414         progress on new debugging front end).
 415
 416 2003-09-24  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 417
 418         * debugger.scm (default-default-lazy-handler, debug-on-error):
 419         New.
 420
 421         * debugger/behaviour.scm (debug-if-flag-set): Display debug entry
 422         messages through (debugger-output-port).
 423         (after-exit-frame-hook): Trace through (debugger-output-port).
 424         (trace-here): Trace through (debugger-output-port).
 425
 426         * debugger/commands.scm (evaluate): If supplied expression is a
 427         string, read from it before evaluating.
 428         (evaluate): Change output format to "EXPR => VALUE".
 429
 430 2003-09-19  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 431
 432         * popen.scm (open-process): Correction to previous fdes closing
 433         change, need to watch out for stdin==stderr or stdout==stderr.

 436
 437         * format.scm (format): Rewritten as a big letrec to make it

 439
 440 2003-09-13  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 441
 442         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?): Use stat rather than access?, so as to
 443         follow the effective UID/GID not the real ID.  file-exists? is
 444         normally used as a prelude to opening or some other operation, and
 445         it's the effective ID which will apply there.  Emacs file-exists-p
 446         uses stat, presumably for the the same reason.
 447

 449
 450         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Use a proper hashtable as

 453         for empty ones.
 454
 455         * format.scm (format:error): Use 'format:format' instead of
 456         'format' since the latter will lock the mutex again that we have
 457         already locked.
 458         (format:format-work): Flag multiple '#' as an error.
 459
 460 2003-08-17  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 461
 462         * boot-9.scm (while): Use a new key dynamically for each loop, so
 463         break and continue associate to their loop even when recursing.
 464
 465 2003-08-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 466
 467         * boot-9.scm (while): Rewrite, continue as proper escape, break
 468         without return value, break and continue new for each while form,
 469         don't depend on bindings in expansion environment.
 470
 471         * popen.scm (open-process): Close input-fdes, output-fdes and
 472         error-fdes after duping them to 0, 1 and 2.
 473
 474 2003-06-19  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 475
 476         * threads.scm (parallel): For no forms, use `(values)' not `(begin)'.

 481         vector constant.

 484
 485         * deprecated.scm (list*): Added.
 486
 487 2003-05-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 488
 489         * documentation.scm (file-commentary, find-documentation-in-file): Use
 490         call-with-input-file, to close ports when done.

 493
 494         * gap-buffer.scm (point++n!, point+-n!): Use substring-move!

 505         arguments to hashx-get-handle.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde!

 539
 540         * format.scm (format:out-substr): Update the column counter
 541         correctly. This fixes the behavior of ~T (tabbing) after ~F, for
 542         instance.  Thanks to Matthias Koeppe!
 543

 551         and merge-accessors handlers are available also before (oop goops)

 553         handlers without worrying about availability.
 554
 555         * slib.scm (logical:ipow-by-squaring): Removed.

 582
 583         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't install the duplicates
 584         handler here.
 585         (default-duplicate-binding-handler): Renamed from

 590 2003-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
 591
 592         * slib.scm (identity): Removed.  (Provided by core.)
 593
 594 2003-03-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 595
 596         * debugger/command-loop.scm: Prefix all commands imported from

 604         on the use-list based on module name rather than interface

 635
 636         * boot-9.scm (make-module): Changed default size from 1021 to 31
 637         (since the size now adapts).

 654
 655         * syncase.scm (guile-macro): Strip syntactic information from
 656         expression before trying to treat it as a Guile macro call.

 669
 670         * occam-channel.scm (alt): New syntax.
 671
 672         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Removed.  Guile now provides this
 673         operator as a primitive procedure.

 682
 683         * psyntax.ss (build-data): Don't quote self-evaluating expressions
 684         in output.  (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be
 685         quoted, but until Guile's native macros and syncase cooperates
 686         better, it is less destructive not to quote.)
 687         (self-evaluating?): Removed null? (In Guile, the empty list is not
 688         self-evaluating).
 689         (sc-chi): Export chi as sc-chi.
 690         (external-macro): New syntax type.

 699         the-syncase-eval-closure during booting so that variables are
 700         created in the correct module.
 701         (syncase): Set expansion-eval-closure.
 702         (define-syntax define-syntax-public eval-when fluid-let-syntax
 703         identifier-syntax let-syntax letrec-syntax syntax syntax-case
 704         syntax-rules with-syntax include): Removed definitions (these are
 705         created from within psyntax.pp).
 706         Enable expansion of Guile macros during a syntax-case
 707         transformation.
 708
 709 2003-01-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

 727
 728 2002-12-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

 730         * threads.scm (par-map, par-for-each): Reimplemented using
 731         joing-thread.
 732         (parallel): Reimplemented using futures.
 733         (n-par-map, n-for-each): New procedures.

 757          (par-map, par-for-each): New procedures.
 758
 759         * documentation.scm (object-documentation): Added support for

 763
 764         * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax):  Re-introduced after accidentally
 765         removing it in my patch from 2002-11-16.
 766
 767 2002-11-24  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 768
 769         Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
 770         following changes:
 771
 772         * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
 773

 781
 782         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
 783         has been removed from the core.
 784
 785 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 786
 787         * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
 788         identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
 789         syntax-rules, with-syntax, include):  Changed definitions to form
 790         'real' macro definitions.
 791
 792 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 793
 794         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 795         Fixed my previous fix (blush).

 798
 799         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):

 801
 802 2002-11-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 803
 804         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition
 805         needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.

 808
 809         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"

 822         set-readline-prompt dynamically if we need to.  (Previous
 823         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
 824         readline).)

 827
 828         * format.scm (format): Wrap a monitor around format:format since

 832

 847
 848         * debugger/commands.scm, debugger/command-loop.scm,
 849         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits

 861         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
 862         execution from a breakpoint.
 863
 864         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,
 865         debugger/breakpoints/procedural.scm,
 866         debugger/breakpoints/range.scm, debugger/breakpoints/source.scm,
 867         debugger/trap-hooks.scm, debugger/trc.scm: New files - breakpoint

 877         should be unnecessary now.
 878
 879 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 880
 881         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
 882         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
 883         the-root-module.
 884
 885 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 886
 887         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
 888         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and

 893

 898
 899         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
 900         >= 0.
 901
 902 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 903
 904         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to
 905         limit the signal stack.
 906
 907 2002-09-15  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 908

 916
 917         * syncase.scm: Set the module transformer of the-syncase-module so
 918         that we can use define-syntax.

 920

 928 2002-07-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 929
 930         * slib.scm (make-exchanger): Added.  Thanks to Clinton Ebadi!

 957         * format.scm (format:fn-max): Increase to 400 so ~f and ~g can
 958         print long real numbers with large positive and negative
 959         exponents.
 960

 990
 991         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
 992         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
 993         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.

1008
1009         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
1010         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
1011         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
1012         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
1013
1014 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1015
1016         More options for pretty-print.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1017
1018         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
1019         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is

1021
1022 2001-11-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1023
1024         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have

1028
1029         * boot-9.scm (turn-on-debugging): New function, to be used by

1033         positions.
1034
1035 2001-10-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
1036
1037         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
1038         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
1039         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
1040
1041         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,

1046           safe.scm, session.scm, slib.scm, streams.scm, string-fun.scm,
1047           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
1048           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
1049           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
1050           exporting bindings.
1051

1058
1059         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
1060         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
1061         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
1062         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
1063
1064 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
1065
1066         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,

1087
1088         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
1089         the `arglist' procedure property.

1091         present a more detailed argument list.
1092
1093         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1094
1095 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1096
1097         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
1098         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel
1099         Skarda.
1100
1101 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1102
1103         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).

1126
1127         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.

1137         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
1138         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
1139         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
1140
1141 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1142
1143         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
1144         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.

1170
1171         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
1172         handle :use-syntax correctly.
1173
1174 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1175
1176         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
1177         compile-psyntax.scm.
1178
1179 2001-07-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1180
1181         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
1182         maintainer mode.  Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
1183         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
1184         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
1185         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
1186
1187 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

1191         receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
1192
1193 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1194
1195         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
1196         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
1197
1198 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1199
1200         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
1201         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
1202         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
1203         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
1204
1205         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
1206         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
1207         since there aren't definitions for them.
1208
1209         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
1210         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
1211
1212 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1213
1214         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
1215         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
1216
1217 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1218
1219         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
1220         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
1221
1222 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1223
1224         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
1225         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
1226         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
1227
1228 2001-06-30  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1229
1230         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
1231
1232         * tags.scm: Removed file.
1233
1234 2001-06-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1235
1236         Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
1237         is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
1238
1239         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
1240         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
1241         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
1242         New.
1243
1244 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1245
1246         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
1247         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
1248
1249 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1250
1251         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
1252         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
1253
1254         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
1255         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
1256         evaluator trap options.)
1257
1258 2001-06-25  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1259
1260         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.
1261
1262 2001-06-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1263
1264         * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax): New.
1265
1266 2001-06-16  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1267
1268         * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
1269
1270 2001-06-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1271
1272         * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
1273         `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
1274
1275 2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1276
1277         * match.scm:
1278         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
1279         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
1280         No longer require `pretty-print'.
1281
1282         (slib:error): Delete.
1283         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
1284
1285         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
1286
1287         * README: New file.
1288
1289         * common-list.scm:
1290         Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
1291         Add Commentary.
1292         Update copyright.
1293
1294 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1295
1296         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
1297         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
1298         rdelim) module.  See below.
1299
1300 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1301
1302         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
1303         include-deprecated-features is true.
1304
1305 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1306
1307         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
1308         unknown objects.
1309
1310         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
1311         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
1312         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1313
1314         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
1315         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
1316         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
1317         Köppe!
1318
1319 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1320
1321         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
1322         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
1323         variable, not just a visible one.
1324         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
1325         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
1326         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
1327         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
1328         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
1329         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
1330         variables.
1331         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
1332
1333         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
1334         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
1335
1336 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1337
1338         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
1339         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
1340
1341 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1342
1343         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
1344
1345 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1346
1347         Added exception notice to all files.
1348
1349         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
1350         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
1351         importing bindings once in a while.
1352
1353 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1354
1355         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
1356         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
1357         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1358         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
1359         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
1360         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
1361         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
1362         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
1363         message.
1364         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
1365         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
1366
1367 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1368
1369         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
1370         fix command so that it works.
1371
1372         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
1373         to access unbound variables.
1374
1375         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
1376         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
1377         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
1378         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
1379         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
1380
1381 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1382
1383         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
1384         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
1385         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
1386         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
1387         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
1388         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
1389         argument for process-define-module.
1390         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
1391         arguments for process-use-modules.
1392         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
1393
1394 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1395
1396         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
1397         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
1398         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
1399         module.
1400
1401         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
1402         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
1403         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
1404
1405         * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.
1406
1407 2001-05-23  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1408
1409         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
1410         to feature lists.
1411         (cond-expand): Use feature information associated with modules.
1412
1413 2001-05-21  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1414
1415         * boot-9.scm (use-srfis): Do not extend the srfi-0 feature list.
1416         (cond-expand-provide): New procedure.
1417
1418 2001-05-22  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1419
1420         * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
1421         (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when
1422         getting the syntax transformer.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1423
1424 2001-05-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1425
1426         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
1427         deprecated features have been removed.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
1428
1429         * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
1430         `display'.
1431
1432 2001-05-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1433
1434         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
1435         * match.scm: Likewise.
1436         * expect.scm: Likewise.
1437         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
1438
1439         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
1440
1441         * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
1442
1443         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
1444         set-current-module.
1445         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
1446         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
1447         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
1448         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
1449         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
1450         element list when adding "." to it.
1451         (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
1452         dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
1453
1454 2001-05-18  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1455
1456         * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
1457         cleanup; nfc.
1458         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
1459         now accepts arg; update callers.
1460         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
1461         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
1462
1463         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
1464         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
1465         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
1466         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
1467         `search-documentation-files'.
1468         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
1469         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.
1470         (help-usage): Mention support for "(help 'NAME)".
1471
1472         * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
1473         Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.

1477         (object-documentation): Use `search-documentation-files'.
1478
1479 2001-05-15  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1480
1481         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
1482         so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.
1483         (use-srfis): New procedure.
1484
1485 2001-05-15  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1486
1487         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Signal error now also if
1488         used module's public interface is not available.
1489         No longer call `beautify-user-module!'.
1490         Signal error now also if selected binding not found.
1491
1492 2001-05-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1493
1494         Merge from mvo-vcell-clenaup-1-branch.
1495
1496         * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
1497         the module obarray.
1498         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
1499
1500         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
1501         the magical undefined value.
1502         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
1503         the default default for bindings.
1504
1505         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
1506         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
1507         (root-module-closure): Removed.
1508         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
1509         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.
1510         (scm-module-closure): Removed.
1511         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
1512         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.  Set the
1513         eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
1514         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
1515         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
1516         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
1517         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
1518         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
1519         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
1520         `set-current-module' call.
1521         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to

1893         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1894         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1895         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1896         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1897         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1898         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1899         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
1900
1901 2000-12-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1902
1903         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only
1904         half the job.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
1905
1906 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1907
1908         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
1909         any more.
1910
1911 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1912
1913         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
1914         the-root-module.
1915
1916 2000-12-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1917
1918         * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
1919
1920 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1921
1922         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
1923         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
1924         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
1925         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
1926         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
1927         split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,

1932         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
1933         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
1934         make-shared-substring.
1935
1936 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1937
1938         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1939         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1940         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1941         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1942         scm-style-repl.
1943
1944 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

1947         and open-output-pipe.
1948
1949 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1950
1951         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1952         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1953         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1954         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1955         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1956         Pirotte for the bug report).
1957         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1958         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
1959
1960 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1961
1962         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.
1963         Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.

1970
1971         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
1972         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
1973         patch.

1977         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
1978         Jacques A. Vidrine.
1979
1980 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1981
1982         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1983         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1984         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1985
1986         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1987         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1988         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1989         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1990         actual documentation entries themselves.

2019

2021         `symbol-append'.
2022         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
2023         args.
2024         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
2025         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
2026         even worked...  /mdj.
2027         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
2028         `symbol->string'.
2029         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
2030         semantics.
2031

2057         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
2058         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
2059         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
2060         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
2061         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
2062
2063         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
2064
2065 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
2066
2067         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
2068         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
2069
2070         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
2071         syntactic bindings.
2072
2073         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
2074         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
2075         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
2076         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
2077

2084
2085         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
2086         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
2087
2088 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
2089
2090         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
2091         definition of module-type.
2092
2093         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
2094
2095         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
2096
2097         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
2098         lines.

2101
2102 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

2107
2108         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return

2111
2112 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2113
2114         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
2115         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
2116
2117 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2118
2119         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
2120         for export args.
2121
2122 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2123
2124         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
2125
2126 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2127
2128         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,

2130         for the hint.
2131
2132         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to

2134         tail recursive yet.
2135
2136 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2137
2138         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
2139         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
2140
2141         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
2142         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
2143         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
2144         See NEWS.
2145         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.

2155
2156         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
2157         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
2158

2160

2162         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
2163
2164 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2165
2166         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
2167
2168         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2169
2170         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
2171
2172 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2173
2174         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
2175         '() instead of #f.
2176         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
2177         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
2178         `the-root-module'.
2179         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
2180
2181         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with

2185         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
2186         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
2187         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
2188         (help): Rewritten.
2189
2190         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
2191
2192         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
2193
2194 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2195
2196         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.

2201 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
2202
2203         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
2204         `proc-documentation'
2205
2206         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
2207         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
2208         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
2209         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
2210         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
2211         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
2212         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
2213         getter...)
2214
2215 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2220
2221         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
2222         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
2223         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
2224         closure.
2225
2226 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2227
2228         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
2229         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
2230         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
2231         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
2232         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
2233         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
2234         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
2235
2236 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2237
2238         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
2239         accept complex numbers as parameter.
2240
2241 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2242
2243         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
2244         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
2245
2246 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2247
2248         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
2249         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
2250         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
2251         instead of remove-if when iterating.
2252         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
2253         delete-if! when iterating.

2255 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2256
2257         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
2258
2259 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2260
2261         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
2262
2263 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2264
2265         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
2266         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
2267         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
2268         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
2269
2270 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2271
2272         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
2273         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
2274
2275 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2276
2277         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
2278         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
2279         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
2280         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
2281
2282 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
2283
2284         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
2285         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
2286
2287 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2288
2289         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
2290         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
2291
2292 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2293
2294         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
2295         Dirk Hermann!
2296
2297 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2298
2299         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
2300         source of the numerous very short changes.
2301
2302 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2303
2304         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
2305         public.
2306
2307         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
2308         info pages.
2309
2310 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2311
2312         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
2313         from slib docs.
2314
2315 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2316
2317         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
2318         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
2319
2320 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2321
2322         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
2323         to string-append.
2324
2325 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2326
2327         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
2328         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
2329         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
2330
2331 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2332
2333         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
2334         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
2335         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
2336         Narazaki for this change.
2337
2338 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2339
2340         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
2341         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
2342         %S.
2343
2344         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
2345         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
2346
2347 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2348
2349         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
2350         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
2351
2352 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2353
2354         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
2355         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
2356         use define-public to export from the module.
2357
2358 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2359
2360         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
2361         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
2362         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
2363
2364 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2365
2366         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
2367
2368 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2369
2370         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
2371         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
2372
2373 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2374
2375         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
2376
2377         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
2378
2379         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
2380
2381 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2382
2383         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
2384         long_long uniform vectors.
2385
2386 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2387
2388         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
2389         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
2390
2391 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2392
2393         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
2394         script to create generated files like this one.
2395
2396 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2397
2398         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
2399         available before using getpw and getuid.
2400         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
2401         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
2402         check for stat.
2403         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
2404         check for .guile, instead of stat.
2405         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
2406         available.
2407         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
2408         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
2409         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
2410
2411         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
2412         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
2413
2414         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
2415
2416 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2417
2418         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
2419         than 'exit-debugger.
2420
2421         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
2422         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
2423
2424         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
2425
2426 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2427
2428         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
2429         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
2430         ("position"): New command.
2431         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
2432         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.

2435         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
2436
2437 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2438
2439         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
2440         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
2441         Badros.)
2442
2443 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2444
2445         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
2446         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
2447
2448 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2449
2450         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
2451
2452         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.

2465
2466         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
2467         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
2468
2469         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
2470
2471 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2472
2473         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
2474         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
2475         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
2476         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
2477
2478         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
2479         argument.
2480
2481         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
2482         both forward and backward views of the stack
2483         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
2484         Use selector `frame-number';
2485         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
2486         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
2487         Use (ice-9 debug).
2488         Use readline conditionally.
2489
2490 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2491
2492         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
2493         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
2494         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
2495
2496         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
2497         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
2498         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
2499
2500 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2501
2502         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
2503
2504         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
2505
2506         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
2507
2508         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2509
2510 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2511
2512         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
2513         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
2514         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
2515         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
2516         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
2517         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
2518         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
2519         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
2520         libguile-config-stamp.
2521         * version.scm.in: Delete.
2522         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
2523         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
2524         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
2525         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
2526
2527 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2528
2529         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
2530         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
2531         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
2532
2533         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
2534         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
2535         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
2536         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
2537         readline.
2538
2539         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
2540
2541 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
2542
2543         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
2544
2545 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2546
2547         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
2548         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
2549
2550 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
2551
2552         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
2553         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
2554         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
2555         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
2556         objects starting with '#/'.
2557
2558 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2559
2560         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
2561         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
2562         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
2563         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
2564         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
2565         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
2566         `observer-id'.
2567         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
2568         module-modified): New procedures.
2569         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
2570         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
2571
2572 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2573
2574         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
2575         defines.
2576
2577 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2578
2579         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
2580         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
2581         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2582
2583         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
2584         position.
2585
2586 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2587
2588         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
2589         at multiple calls to read.
2590         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
2591         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
2592         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
2593         continued-lines prompt.
2594
2595         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
2596         reading expressions.
2597
2598 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2599
2600         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
2601         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2602
2603 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2604
2605         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
2606         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
2607         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)

2610
2611         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
2612         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
2613
2614         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
2615         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
2616         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
2617         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
2618         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
2619         instead of a port.
2620
2621 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2622
2623         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
2624         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2625
2626         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
2627
2628         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
2629         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
2630         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
2631         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
2632
2633         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
2634
2635         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2636
2637         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
2638         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
2639         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
2640         an alist.
2641
2642         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2643
2644         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
2645         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
2646         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
2647         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
2648         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
2649         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2650         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
2651         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
2652         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
2653         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2654         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
2655
2656         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2657
2658         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
2659         peeked from the stream.
2660         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
2661         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
2662         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
2663
2664         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2665
2666         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
2667         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
2668
2669         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2670
2671         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2672         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
2673         exiting repl with single control-D.
2674
2675         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2676
2677         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2678         error catching loop after quit received.
2679         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2680
2681         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2682         primitive exit if non-interactive.
2683         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2684
2685         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2686         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2687         boot-9.scm.
2688         * popen.scm: new file.
2689
2690 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2691
2692        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
2693        (reverse-iota):  removed.
2694
2695 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2696
2697         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
2698         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
2699
2700 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2701
2702         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2703         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2704         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2705         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2706         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2707
2708 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2709
2710         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2711
2712         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2713         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2714
2715         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2716         Guile's module system.
2717
2718         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2719         changes:
2720         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2721         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2722         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2723         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
2724         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2725         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2726         modern CL behavior.
2727         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2728         '() when the condition is false.
2729
2730 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2731
2732         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2733
2734 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2735
2736         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2737
2738 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2739
2740         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2741         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2742         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2743
2744 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2745
2746         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2747         argument order for hash-fold.
2748
2749 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2750
2751         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
2752         resolve-module.
2753         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2754         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2755
2756         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2757         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2758         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2759         has been added to the load path).
2760
2761         Use try-load-module.
2762
2763 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2764
2765         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
2766         module between system and user state.
2767
2768 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2769
2770         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2771
2772         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2773         definition.
2774
2775 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2776
2777         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2778         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2779         system can create a wrapper class for it.
2780
2781 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2782
2783         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2784         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
2785         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2786         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2787         stack frame encountered.
2788
2789         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2790         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2791         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2792         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2793         list).]
2794
2795         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2796         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2797         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2798         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2799         please tell me!]
2800
2801         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2802         define-module switches:
2803
2804         (define-module (foo)
2805           :no-backtrace)
2806
2807         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2808         modules.
2809
2810         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2811         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2812         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2813         module it is a system frame.
2814
2815         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2816         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2817         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2818         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2819         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2820
2821         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2822         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
2823         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2824         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2825         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
2826         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2827
2828         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2829         status of a module.;
2830         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2831         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2832
2833         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2834         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2835         closure to the module.
2836
2837         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2838
2839 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2840
2841         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
2842
2843 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2844
2845         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
2846
2847 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2848
2849         Fix from Russ McManus:
2850         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2851         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2852         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2853         either an optional or required value.
2854
2855 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2856
2857         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2858
2859         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2860         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2861
2862         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2863         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2864         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2865         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2866
2867 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2868
2869         * optargs.scm: New file.
2870         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2871         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2872
2873 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2874
2875         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2876         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2877         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2878
2879 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2880
2881         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2882         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2883         for isn't loaded.
2884
2885 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2886
2887         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2888
2889 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2890
2891         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2892         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2893         applied to the module itself.
2894
2895 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2896
2897         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2898
2899         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2900         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2901
2902 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2903
2904         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2905
2906 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2907
2908         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2909
2910 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2911
2912         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2913         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2914
2915 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2916
2917         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2918         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2919         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2920         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2921         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2922         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2923         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2924
2925 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2926
2927         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2928         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2929
2930 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2931
2932         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2933         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2934         static libraries.
2935
2936 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2937
2938         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2939
2940 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2941
2942         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2943
2944 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2945
2946         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2947         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2948         adapt to the new hooks.
2949
2950 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2951
2952         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2953         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2954         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2955         code.
2956         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2957         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2958
2959         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2960         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2961         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2962         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2963         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2964         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2965         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2966         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2967         first to register linked modules.
2968
2969         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2970         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2971         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2972
2973         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2974         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2975         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2976         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2977
2978         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2979         to use from C:
2980         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2981         libguile/feature.c.
2982
2983         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2984         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2985         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2986
2987 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2988
2989         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2990         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2991         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2992
2993 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2994
2995         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2996         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2997         result of the last form.
2998
2999 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3000
3001         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
3002         syncase.scm.
3003
3004         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
3005
3006         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
3007         readline-set!: New options interface.
3008
3009         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
3010
3011 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3012
3013         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
3014         at the end of boot-9.scm.
3015
3016 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3017
3018         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
3019         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
3020
3021 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3022
3023         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
3024         interactive session.
3025         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
3026
3027         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
3028         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
3029
3030 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3031
3032         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
3033
3034 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3035
3036         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
3037         read line was empty.
3038
3039 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3040
3041         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
3042         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
3043
3044         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
3045
3046         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
3047         problem.  Duh.
3048         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
3049         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
3050         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
3051
3052         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
3053         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
3054         into...
3055         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
3056         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
3057         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
3058
3059         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
3060         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
3061         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
3062         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
3063         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
3064         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
3065         psyntax.ss.
3066         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3067
3068         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
3069         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3070
3071 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3072
3073         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
3074         and short vectors #h(...).
3075
3076 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3077
3078         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
3079         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
3080         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
3081
3082 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3083
3084         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
3085         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
3086         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
3087
3088 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3089
3090         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
3091         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
3092
3093         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
3094         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
3095         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
3096         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
3097
3098 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3099
3100         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
3101         trace flag.
3102
3103         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
3104         order to allow the empty list as arg.
3105         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
3106         context with traps enabled.
3107
3108 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3109
3110         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
3111         module.
3112         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
3113
3114 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3115
3116         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
3117         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
3118         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
3119         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
3120         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
3121
3122 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3123
3124         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
3125         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
3126
3127 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3128
3129         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
3130
3131 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3132
3133         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
3134
3135 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3136
3137         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
3138
3139 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3140
3141         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
3142         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
3143
3144 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3145
3146         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
3147         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
3148         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
3149         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
3150         Archibald.)
3151
3152         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
3153         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
3154         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
3155
3156 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3157
3158         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
3159         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
3160         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
3161         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
3162         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
3163         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
3164         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
3165
3166 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3167
3168         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
3169
3170 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3171
3172         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
3173         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
3174         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
3175         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
3176         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
3177         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
3178
3179 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3180
3181         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
3182         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
3183         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
3184         Steven G. Johnson.)
3185
3186 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3187
3188         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
3189
3190 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3191
3192         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
3193
3194 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3195
3196         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
3197         be completed.
3198
3199 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3200
3201         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
3202
3203 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3204
3205         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
3206         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
3207
3208 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3209
3210         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
3211         similar in use to `use-modules'.
3212         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
3213         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
3214         transformer.
3215         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
3216         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
3217
3218 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3219
3220         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
3221
3222 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3223
3224         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
3225         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
3226         completion.
3227
3228         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
3229         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
3230
3231         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
3232         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
3233         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
3234
3235         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
3236
3237 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3238
3239         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
3240
3241         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
3242         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
3243
3244 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3245
3246         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
3247
3248 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3249
3250         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
3251         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
3252
3253         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
3254
3255         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
3256         obsolete.
3257
3258 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3259
3260         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
3261         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
3262
3263 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3264
3265         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
3266
3267 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3268
3269         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
3270         Stachowiak.)
3271
3272 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3273
3274         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
3275         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
3276         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
3277         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
3278         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
3279         threads.
3280
3281 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3282
3283         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
3284         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
3285         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
3286
3287 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3288
3289         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
3290
3291         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
3292         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
3293
3294 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3295
3296         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
3297         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
3298         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
3299         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
3300         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
3301         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
3302         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
3303         to go here.
3304
3305 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3306
3307         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
3308         is now a fluid.
3309
3310 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3311
3312         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
3313         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
3314         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
3315         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
3316         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
3317         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
3318
3319 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3320
3321         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
3322         usefully so they will work from a script.
3323
3324 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3325
3326         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
3327         neighborhood of the record code.
3328
3329 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3330
3331         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
3332         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
3333         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
3334         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
3335
3336 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3337
3338         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
3339         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
3340         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3341
3342 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3343
3344         Add support for readline function.
3345         * readline.scm: New module.
3346         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
3347         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
3348         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
3349         anything.
3350         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
3351         repl-reader to use them.
3352         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
3353
3354         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
3355
3356 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3357
3358         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3359         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
3360
3361 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3362
3363         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
3364         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
3365         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
3366
3367 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3368
3369         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
3370         #f, abort terminates the process.
3371         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
3372         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
3373
3374 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3375
3376         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
3377         print-state, throw it away.
3378
3379 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3380
3381         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
3382         `0'.
3383
3384 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3385
3386         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
3387         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
3388         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
3389         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
3390         user field).
3391         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
3392         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
3393
3394 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3395
3396         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
3397

3399
3400         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
3401         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
3402         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
3403         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3404         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
3405         boot-9.scm.
3406         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
3407         distribution and installation.
3408         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3409

3411
3412         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
3413
3414 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3415
3416         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
3417         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
3418         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
3419
3420         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
3421         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
3422         symbol.
3423
3424 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3425
3426         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.

3432         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
3433         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
3434         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
3435         field a separate argument.
3436
3437         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
3438
3439 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3440
3441         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
3442
3443         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
3444         vicinity;
3445         Provide defmacro.

3452
3453         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
3454         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
3455         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
3456         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
3457         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
3458         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
3459         registered.
3460         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
3461         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
3462         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
3463         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
3464         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
3465         link a .so-file.

3477
3478         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
3479
3480         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
3481         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
3482         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
3483         expansion inside the slib module.
3484
3485         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

3493         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
3494
3495         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
3496         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
3497         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
3498         source.
3499         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
3500         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
3501         been loaded.
3502
3503 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

3510         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

3512         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
3513         mutator for module-associated transformer.
3514         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
3515         `scm:eval-transformer'.
3516         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
3517         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
3518         module.
3519         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
3520
3521 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3522
3523         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
3524
3525         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
3526         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
3527         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
3528         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
3529         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
3530
3531         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
3532         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
3533         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
3534         syncase macros.
3535         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
3536         the syncase interface.
3537
3538 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3539
3540         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
3541         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
3542         workings of the current module system).
3543
3544 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3545
3546         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
3547         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
3548         off!
3549
3550 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3555
3556 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3557
3558         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
3559         according to the following priorities:
3560         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
3561         2. bindings from the-scm-module
3562         3. tcl bindings
3563         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
3564         disabling the scheme interpreter.
3565         (new-interpreter): New function.
3566
3567         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
3568         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
3569         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

3586
3587         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
3588         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
3589         source!
3590
3591 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

3598         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
3599         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
3600         in stack-ref).
3601
3602         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
3603         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
3604         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
3605         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
3606         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
3607         result protocol;

3622
3623         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
3624         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
3625         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
3626
3627         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
3628

3644
3645         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
3646         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
3647         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
3648
3649         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
3650         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
3651         the top.
3652
3653         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
3654         order to narrow it correctly.

3659         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
3660         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
3661
3662 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3663
3664         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
3665
3666 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3667
3668         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
3669         builtin `with-fluids*'.
3670
3671 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3672
3673         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3674         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
3675         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
3676
3677 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3678
3679         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
3680         automatically.
3681
3682 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3683
3684         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
3685         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
3686         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
3687         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
3688         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
3689
3690 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3691
3692         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
3693         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
3694         a default of /.
3695
3696         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
3697
3698 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3699
3700         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
3701         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
3702         notation, instead of #/ notation.
3703
3704         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
3705         make-regexp.
3706
3707 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3708
3709         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3710         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3711         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
3712         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3713         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3714         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3715
3716         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3717         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3718         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3719         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3720
3721 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3722
3723         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3724         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
3725         sending in bug reports.
3726         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3727         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3728         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3729         display a warning if the two are different.
3730         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3731         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3732         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3733
3734 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3735
3736         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
3737
3738 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3739
3740         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3741         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3742
3743         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3744         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3745         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3746         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3747         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3748         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3749         that's okay.
3750
3751         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
3752         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3753         regexp interface.
3754
3755         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3756         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
3757
3758         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3759         function names.
3760
3761         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3762         fixes.
3763
3764 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3765
3766         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3767         ../configure.in.
3768
3769 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3770
3771         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3772         vtable and not the one of the struct.
3773
3774 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3775
3776         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3777         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3778         to support printing of structures.
3779         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3780         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
3781         commented out printing code.
3782         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3783         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
3784
3785 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3786
3787         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3788
3789 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3790
3791         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3792         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3793         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3794         during call to scm-style-repl.
3795
3796 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3797
3798         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3799         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3800         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3801         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3802         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3803
3804 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3805
3806         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3807         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3808         (ice-9 regex).
3809
3810 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3811
3812         * regex.scm: New file.
3813         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3814         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3815
3816 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3817
3818         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
3819         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
3820         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,

3826         in 1997.
3827
3828 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3829
3830         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3831         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3832         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3833
3834 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3835
3836         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3837         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3838         here.
3839
3840 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3841
3842         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

3849
3850         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3851         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3852         fixes this too.
3853
3854 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3855
3856         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3857         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3858         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3859
3860 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3861
3862         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3863         the Scheme code like code yet.
3864         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3865
3866 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3867
3868         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3869         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3870         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3871
3872 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3873
3874         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3875         use-modules macro
3876         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3877         can't be found.
3878
3879 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3880
3881         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3882
3883 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3884
3885         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3886
3887         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3888         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3889         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3890

3898         no plugins.
3899         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3900         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

3908
3909         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
3910
3911 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3912
3913         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3914         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).

3917
3918         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3919         instead of in libguile.
3920         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3921         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3922
3923 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3924

3931
3932         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3933         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3934
3935 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3936
3937         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3938         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3939         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3940         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3941
3942 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3943
3944         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3945         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3946

3949         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.

3954         keywords and symbols.
3955
3956 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

3964         (read-sharp): removed.
3965         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take

3967

3976         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.

3979
3980         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3981
3982 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3983
3984         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3985
3986 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3987
3988         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3989         read gets EOF.
3990         * (exit): alias for quit.
3991
3992 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3993
3994         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3995         return the quit args.
3996         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3997         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.

3999
4000         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
4001
4002 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4003
4004         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
4005
4006         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
4007         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
4008
4009         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
4010         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
4011
4012         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
4013         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
4014         of handlers.
4015
4016 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4017
4018         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
4019
4020         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
4021         (add-hooks!): New macro.
4022         Change hooks to use these functions.
4023
4024         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
4025         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
4026         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
4027         the source! :-)
4028         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
4029         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
4030         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
4031         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
4032         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
4033         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
4034         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
4035         traced.
4036
4037         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
4038         and exit-frame exceptions.
4039
4040         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
4041         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
4042         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
4043         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
4044         result; otherwise display "> ".
4045         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
4046
4047         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
4048         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
4049         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
4050         repository version runnable.
4051
4052 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4053
4054         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
4055         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
4056         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
4057         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
4058         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
4059         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
4060
4061 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4062
4063         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
4064         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
4065         and eval.
4066         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
4067         "defined?".
4068         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
4069         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
4070
4071 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4072
4073         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
4074
4075 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4076
4077         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
4078         %read-sharp layer.
4079
4080 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4081
4082         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
4083         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
4084
4085 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4086
4087         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
4088         backtrace.c.)
4089
4090 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4091
4092         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
4093         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
4094
4095 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4096
4097         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
4098
4099         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
4100         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
4101         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
4102         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
4103         dynamic linking of modules.
4104         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
4105         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
4106
4107 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4108
4109         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
4110
4111 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4112
4113         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
4114         that's what it is.
4115
4116         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
4117         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
4118         was false.
4119
4120 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4121
4122         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
4123         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
4124         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
4125
4126 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4127
4128         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
4129         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
4130         yet.
4131
4132 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4133
4134         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
4135         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
4136         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
4137
4138 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4139
4140         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
4141         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
4142         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
4143         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
4144
4145         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
4146         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
4147         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
4148         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
4149         (such as the-scm-module).
4150
4151 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4152
4153         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
4154         %search-load-path.
4155
4156 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
4157
4158         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
4159         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
4160         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
4161
4162 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4163
4164         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
4165         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
4166         function, use it accordingly.
4167
4168 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4169
4170         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
4171         function of no arguments.
4172         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
4173         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
4174         set-current-module): Uses changed.
4175         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
4176         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
4177         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
4178         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
4179         *top-level-eval-closure*.
4180
4181 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4182
4183         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
4184         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
4185
4186 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4187
4188         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4189         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
4190         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
4191         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
4192         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
4193
4194         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
4195         `*features*'.
4196
4197         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
4198         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
4199         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
4200         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
4201
4202         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
4203
4204         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
4205
4206         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
4207         If the user wants to see this, he can do
4208         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
4209
4210         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
4211         error.
4212
4213         Added `before-read-hook'.
4214
4215         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
4216
4217         (provide): New function.
4218
4219         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
4220         in backtraces.
4221
4222         (backtrace): New function.
4223
4224         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
4225         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
4226         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
4227         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
4228         is found in operator position in a frame.
4229
4230         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4231         by default.
4232
4233         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
4234         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
4235         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
4236
4237         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
4238
4239         (library-vicinity): Updated.
4240
4241         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
4242
4243         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
4244
4245 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4246
4247         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
4248
4249         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
4250         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
4251
4252         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
4253         so they'll get distributed.
4254
4255         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
4256         should see as little clutter as possible.
4257         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
4258         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
4259         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
4260
4261         * r4rs.scm: New file.
4262         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
4263         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
4264         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
4265         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
4266         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
4267         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
4268         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
4269         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
4270         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
4271         that are not.
4272         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
4273         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
4274
4275         * test.scm: New file.
4276
4277         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
4278         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
4279         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
4280
4281         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
4282         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
4283
4284         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
4285         work now.
4286         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
4287         call %load-announce.
4288
4289 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4290
4291         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
4292         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
4293         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
4294         components.
4295         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
4296
4297 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4298
4299         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
4300         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
4301         SCSH (which this isn't).
4302
4303 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4304
4305         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4306
4307 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4308
4309         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
4310         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
4311         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
4312         these.
4313         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
4314         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
4315         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
4316         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
4317         save-stack.
4318
4319 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4320
4321         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
4322
4323         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
4324
4325         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
4326         error-catching-loop.
4327         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
4328         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
4329         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
4330
4331         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
4332         error-catching-loop.
4333
4334 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4335
4336         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
4337         (make-module): Rework for readability.
4338         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
4339         should be '(), not #f.
4340
4341         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to

4345
4346         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
4347         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
4348         error-signal.
4349
4350 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4351
4352         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
4353         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
4354         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
4355         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
4356
4357 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4358
4359         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
4360
4361 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4362
4363         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
4364
4365         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
4366         throw-handler-default.
4367         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
4368         reported.
4369         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
4370         acro.
4371         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
4372         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
4373
4374 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4375
4376         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
4377         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
4378         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
4379         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
4380

4382
4383         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
4384         Append "." to the default %load-path.
4385         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
4386         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
4387         ...))
4388         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
4389         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
4390         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
4391         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
4392         file-is-directory?
4393
4394 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4395
4396         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
4397
4398         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
4399         distribution.
4400
4401         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
4402         `switch-repl'.
4403
4404         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
4405
4406 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4407
4408         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
4409         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
4410
4411 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4412
4413         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
4414
4415         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
4416
4417 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4418
4419         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
4420         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
4421         Don't set up 'error as a key.
4422         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
4423         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
4424
4425         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
4426         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
4427         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
4428         they seem redundant.
4429         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
4430         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
4431         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
4432         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
4433         directly files starting with "/").
4434         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
4435         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
4436
4437         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
4438
4439 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4440
4441         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
4442         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
4443         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
4444         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
4445         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
4446         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
4447         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
4448         robust to just do it in the C code.
4449
4450 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4451
4452         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
4453         %try-load itself was the primitive.
4454         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
4455         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
4456         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
4457
4458 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4459
4460         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
4461         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
4462         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
4463
4464 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4465
4466         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
4467         system-error, not every kind of error.
4468         (scm-error): new procedure.
4469
4470 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4471
4472         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4473
4474 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4475
4476         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
4477         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
4478         of args are supplied.
4479         (%%system-errors): removed.
4480         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
4481         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
4482         %%handle-system-error.
4483         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
4484         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
4485         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
4486         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
4487
4488 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4489
4490         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
4491         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
4492         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
4493         %S (embed an argument using "write").
4494
4495 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4496
4497         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
4498         the empty list if they are #f.
4499         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
4500
4501 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4502
4503         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
4504
4505         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
4506         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
4507         aborting, just the key and subr.
4508         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
4509         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
4510         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
4511
4512 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4513
4514         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
4515         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
4516         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
4517         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
4518         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
4519
4520 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4521
4522         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
4523         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
4524         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
4525         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
4526
4527 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4528
4529         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
4530         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
4531         initialize %load-path.
4532
4533         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
4534         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
4535
4536 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4537
4538         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
4539         Add the directory named after the version number.
4540         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
4541         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
4542         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
4543         sitedatadir): New definitions.

4550
4551         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
4552         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
4553         in the Makefile directly.
4554         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
4555         for these.
4556         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
4557         aux_files.

4559         here, where people expect to find them.

4569
4570         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->

4588         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
4589         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

4593         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
4594         (manifest): Deleted.
4595         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

4597
4598 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4599
4600         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
4601         now that they throw errors directly.

4603         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
4604
4605 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4606
