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

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

 158
 159         * boot-9.scm (make-module): Changed default size from 1021 to 31
 160         (since the size now adapts).

 175
 176 2003-01-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 177
 178         * syncase.scm (guile-macro): Strip syntactic information from
 179         expression before trying to treat it as a Guile macro call.
 180         (Thanks to Kevin Ryde.)
 181
 182 2003-01-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 183
 184         * threads.scm (parallel, letpar): Rewritten.

 189         futures.
 190
 191 2003-01-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 192
 193         * occam-channel.scm (alt): New syntax.
 194
 195         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Removed.  Guile now provides this
 196         operator as a primitive procedure.
 197         (build-data): Quote vectors (psyntax.ss requires this).
 198
 199 2003-01-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 200
 201         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Allow procedures implanted in
 202         source.  (Guile uses this internally.)
 203
 204 2003-01-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 205
 206         * psyntax.ss (build-data): Don't quote self-evaluating expressions
 207         in output.  (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be
 208         quoted, but until Guile's native macros and syncase cooperates
 209         better, it is less destructive not to quote.)
 210         (self-evaluating?): Removed null? (In Guile, the empty list is not
 211         self-evaluating).
 212         (sc-chi): Export chi as sc-chi.
 213         (external-macro): New syntax type.
 214
 215         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 216
 217         * compile-psyntax.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure.
 218
 219         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Return *unspecified*.
 220
 221         * syncase.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure to
 222         the-syncase-eval-closure during booting so that variables are
 223         created in the correct module.
 224         (syncase): Set expansion-eval-closure.
 225         (define-syntax define-syntax-public eval-when fluid-let-syntax
 226         identifier-syntax let-syntax letrec-syntax syntax syntax-case
 227         syntax-rules with-syntax include): Removed definitions (these are
 228         created from within psyntax.pp).
 229         Enable expansion of Guile macros during a syntax-case
 230         transformation.
 231
 232 2003-01-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 233
 234         * occam-channel.scm (make-channel): Renamed from channel.
 235         (make-timer): New function.
 236
 237         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added occam-channel.scm.
 238
 239         * occam-channel.scm: New file.  Implements occam-like channels.
 240
 241 2002-12-28  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 242
 243         * boot-9.scm (module-defined-hook): New hook, run whenever a new
 244         module is defined.
 245         (process-define-module): Run this hook.
 246
 247 2002-12-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
 248
 249         * threads.scm: Removed bogus definition of future-ref.
 250
 251 2002-12-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 252
 253         * threads.scm (par-map, par-for-each): Reimplemented using
 254         joing-thread.
 255         (parallel): Reimplemented using futures.
 256         (n-par-map, n-for-each): New procedures.
 257
 258 2002-12-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 259
 260         * optargs.scm (improper-list-copy): New.
 261         (parse-arglist): Use it instead of list-copy.
 262
 263 2002-12-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 264
 265         * threads.scm (letpar): New macro.
 266
 267 2002-12-08  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 268
 269         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION ->
 270         GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
 271
 272         * debugger/Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION ->
 273         GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
 274
 275         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION -> GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
 276
 277 2002-12-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 278
 279         * threads.scm (parallel): New macro.
 280          (par-map, par-for-each): New procedures.
 281
 282         * documentation.scm (object-documentation): Added support for

 297         (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
 298         %system-define.
 299
 300         * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
 301         until Guile supports hygienic macros.
 302
 303 2002-11-17  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 304
 305         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
 306         has been removed from the core.
 307
 308 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 309
 310         * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
 311         identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
 312         syntax-rules, with-syntax, include):  Changed definitions to form
 313         'real' macro definitions.

 316
 317         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 318         Fixed my previous fix (blush).
 319
 320 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 321
 322         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 323         Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
 324
 325 2002-11-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 326
 327         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition
 328         needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.
 329
 330 2002-11-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 331
 332         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"
 333         change below.

 335         * debugger/breakpoints/source.scm: Enable source property
 336         recording when module is loaded.
 337         (##): Cope with ports whose `filename' is not a string.
 338

 342         code.
 343
 344         * debugger/command-loop.scm (read-and-dispatch-command): Import
 345         set-readline-prompt dynamically if we need to.  (Previous
 346         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
 347         readline).)
 348
 349 2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 350
 351         * format.scm (format): Wrap a monitor around format:format since
 352         it is not thread-safe.
 353

 355
 356         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'.  This

 372         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits
 373         of old (ice-9 debugger), plus some rewriting and enhancements for

 384         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
 385         execution from a breakpoint.
 386
 387         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,
 388         debugger/breakpoints/procedural.scm,
 389         debugger/breakpoints/range.scm, debugger/breakpoints/source.scm,
 390         debugger/trap-hooks.scm, debugger/trc.scm: New files - breakpoint

 400         should be unnecessary now.
 401
 402 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 403
 404         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
 405         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
 406         the-root-module.
 407
 408 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 409
 410         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
 411         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and
 412         call-with-unblocked-asyncs instead of mask-signals and
 413         unmask-signals.
 414
 415 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 416

 421
 422         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
 423         >= 0.
 424
 425 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 426
 427         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to
 428         limit the signal stack.
 429
 430 2002-09-15  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 431
 432         * boot-9.scm (feature?): Added deprecation message.
 433
 434 2002-09-14  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 435
 436         * boot-9.scm (sqrt): minor indentation fix.
 437
 438 2002-09-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 439
 440         * syncase.scm: Set the module transformer of the-syncase-module so
 441         that we can use define-syntax.
 442         (define-syntax-public): New and exported.
 443

 447         (sc-macro): Set the expansion-eval-closure expanding the form.
 448         (putprop, getprop): Use the expansion-eval-closure to find
 449         variables instead of the current module.
 450
 451 2002-07-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 452
 453         * slib.scm (make-exchanger): Added.  Thanks to Clinton Ebadi!

 459
 460 2002-06-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 461
 462         * boot-9.scm (file-set-position): Make third argument optional,
 463         for SCM compatibility.

 465

 477
 478 2002-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 479
 480         * format.scm (format:fn-max): Increase to 400 so ~f and ~g can
 481         print long real numbers with large positive and negative
 482         exponents.
 483
 484 2002-05-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 485

 489
 490         * gap-buffer.scm: New file.
 491

 512 2002-02-24  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 513
 514         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
 515         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
 516         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
 517
 518         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.
 519

 529
 530 2002-01-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 531
 532         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
 533         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
 534         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
 535         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
 536
 537 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 538
 539         More options for pretty-print.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!

 542         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
 543         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
 544
 545 2001-11-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 546
 547         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have
 548         these in the core.
 549
 550 2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 551

 555         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
 556         positions.
 557
 558 2001-10-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 559
 560         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 561         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 562         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 563
 564         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,

 571           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 572           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 573           exporting bindings.
 574
 575 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 576
 577         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
 578         :re-export-syntax
 579
 580 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 581
 582         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 583         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 584         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 585         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 586
 587 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 588
 589         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
 590         %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,
 591         %%apropos-internal): Use module-define! instead of
 592         builtin-variable.

 595
 596         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.
 597
 598 2001-09-19  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>
 599
 600         * expect.scm: Commentary fix; nfc.
 601
 602         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
 603
 604 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 605
 606         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 607         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
 608
 609 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 610
 611         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 612         the `arglist' procedure property.
 613         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 614         present a more detailed argument list.
 615
 616         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 617
 618 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 619
 620         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
 621         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel
 622         Skarda.
 623
 624 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 625
 626         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
 627
 628         (feature?): Deprecated.
 629
 630         (id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags,
 631         eval-in-module, split-c-module-name,

 638
 639         (module-make-local-var!, module-ensure-local-variable!,
 640         module-define!): Eliminate call to `variable-set-name-hint!´.
 641
 642         (try-load-module, use-syntax, module-export!): Remove deprecated
 643         functionality.
 644
 645         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
 646         needed to trick export.
 647
 648 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 649
 650         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.
 651
 652 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 653
 654         * and-let-star-compat.scm:  Deleted.
 655
 656         * Makefile.am: Remove references to and-let-star-compat.scm.
 657
 658 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 659
 660         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
 661         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
 662         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
 663
 664 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 665
 666         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
 667         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
 668
 669 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 670
 671         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".
 672
 673 2001-08-12  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 674
 675         * getopt-long.scm: Rewrite.
 676         Touch up docstrings.
 677         Augment commentary.
 678
 679 2001-08-02  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 680
 681         * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
 682         last-command fluid is not yet set.
 683
 684 2001-08-02  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 685
 686         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
 687
 688         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'

 690         next element is to be taken as the option arg.
 691
 692 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
 693
 694         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
 695         handle :use-syntax correctly.
 696
 697 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 698
 699         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
 700         compile-psyntax.scm.
 701
 702 2001-07-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 703
 704         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
 705         maintainer mode.  Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.

 707         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
 708         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
 709
 710 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 711
 712         * and-let-star.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm, history.scm,
 713         lineio.scm, null.scm, optargs.scm, r4rs.scm, r5rs.scm,
 714         receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
 715
 716 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 717
 718         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 719         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
 720
 721 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 722
 723         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
 724         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
 725         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
 726         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
 727
 728         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 729         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
 730         since there aren't definitions for them.
 731
 732         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
 733         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
 734
 735 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 736
 737         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
 738         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
 739
 740 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 741
 742         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
 743         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
 744
 745 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 746
 747         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
 748         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
 749         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
 750
 751 2001-06-30  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

 761
 762         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
 763         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
 764         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
 765         New.
 766
 767 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 768
 769         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
 770         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
 771
 772 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 773
 774         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
 775         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
 776
 777         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
 778         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
 779         evaluator trap options.)
 780
 781 2001-06-25  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 782
 783         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.
 784

 797
 798 2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 799
 800         * match.scm:
 801         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
 802         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
 803         No longer require `pretty-print'.
 804
 805         (slib:error): Delete.
 806         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
 807
 808         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.

 816
 817 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 818
 819         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
 820         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
 821         rdelim) module.  See below.
 822
 823 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 824
 825         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
 826         include-deprecated-features is true.
 827
 828 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 829
 830         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
 831         unknown objects.
 832
 833         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
 834         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
 835         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 836
 837         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
 838         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
 839         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
 840         Köppe!
 841
 842 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 843
 844         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
 845         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
 846         variable, not just a visible one.
 847         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
 848         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
 849         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
 850         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
 851         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
 852         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
 853         variables.
 854         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
 855
 856         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
 857         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
 858
 859 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 860
 861         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
 862         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
 863
 864 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 865
 866         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
 867
 868 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 869
 870         Added exception notice to all files.
 871
 872         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
 873         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
 874         importing bindings once in a while.
 875
 876 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 877
 878         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
 879         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
 880         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 881         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
 882         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 883         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 884         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 885         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
 886         message.
 887         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
 888         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
 889
 890 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 891
 892         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
 893         fix command so that it works.
 894
 895         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
 896         to access unbound variables.
 897
 898         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
 899         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
 900         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
 901         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
 902         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
 903
 904 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 905
 906         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
 907         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
 908         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
 909         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
 910         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
 911         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
 912         argument for process-define-module.
 913         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
 914         arguments for process-use-modules.
 915         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
 916
 917 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 918
 919         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
 920         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
 921         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
 922         module.
 923
 924         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
 925         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
 926         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
 927
 928         * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.

 931
 932         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
 933         to feature lists.
 934         (cond-expand): Use feature information associated with modules.
 935
 936 2001-05-21  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 937
 938         * boot-9.scm (use-srfis): Do not extend the srfi-0 feature list.

 940
 941 2001-05-22  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 942
 943         * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
 944         (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when
 945         getting the syntax transformer.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 946
 947 2001-05-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 948
 949         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
 950         deprecated features have been removed.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
 951
 952         * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
 953         `display'.
 954
 955 2001-05-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 956
 957         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
 958         * match.scm: Likewise.
 959         * expect.scm: Likewise.
 960         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 961
 962         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
 963
 964         * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
 965
 966         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
 967         set-current-module.
 968         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
 969         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
 970         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
 971         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
 972         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
 973         element list when adding "." to it.
 974         (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
 975         dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.

 978
 979         * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
 980         cleanup; nfc.
 981         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
 982         now accepts arg; update callers.
 983         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
 984         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
 985
 986         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
 987         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
 988         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
 989         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
 990         `search-documentation-files'.
 991         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
 992         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.

 994
 995         * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
 996         Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.

1014
1015 2001-05-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

1021         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
1022
1023         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
1024         the magical undefined value.
1025         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
1026         the default default for bindings.
1027
1028         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
1029         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
1030         (root-module-closure): Removed.
1031         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
1032         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.

1034         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
1035         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.  Set the
1036         eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
1037         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
1038         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
1039         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
1040         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
1041         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
1042         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
1043         `set-current-module' call.
1044         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
1045         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.

1078         or a interface spec.
1079         (symbol-prefix-proc): New proc.
1080         (%autoloader-developer-mode): Delete.
1081         (process-define-module): Use "define-module" in error messages
1082         instead of "defmodule".  Factor error into internal proc.
1083         Rewrite `use-module' and `use-syntax' handlers.
1084         Replace some single-arm `if-not' constructs w/ `or'.
1085         (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
1086         which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
1087         (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use
1088         `provided?'.

1387         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
1388         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
1389
1390         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
1391         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
1392
1393         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
1394         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
1395
1396 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1397
1398         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
1399         in C for now.
1400         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
1401         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
1402
1403 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1404
1405         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
1406         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
1407         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
1408         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
1409         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
1410         for now.

1413
1414 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1415
1416         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1417         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1418         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1419         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1420         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1421         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1422         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.

1430
1431         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
1432         any more.
1433
1434 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1435
1436         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in

1446         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
1447         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm

1457         make-shared-substring.
1458
1459 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1460
1461         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1462         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1463         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1464         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1465         scm-style-repl.

1472 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1473
1474         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1475         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1476         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1477         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1478         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1479         Pirotte for the bug report).
1480         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1481         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

1504
1505         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1506         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1507         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1508
1509         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1510         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1511         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1512         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1513         actual documentation entries themselves.

1519 2000-09-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1520
1521         * syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.
1522
1523 2000-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1524
1525         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
1526         Convert first argument to a string.
1527
1528         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
1529         getter-and-setter-syntax,
1530         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
1531         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
1532
1533         * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
1534
1535         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
1536
1537 2000-08-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1538
1539         * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
1540
1541 2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1542
1543         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
1544         `symbol-append'.
1545         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1546         args.
1547         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1548         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1549         even worked...  /mdj.
1550         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1551         `symbol->string'.
1552         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1553         semantics.
1554
1555 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1556
1557         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
1558         form set!.
1559
1560 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1561
1562         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
1563         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
1564
1565 2000-08-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1566
1567         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.

1572
1573 2000-08-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1574
1575         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive.  (Thanks to
1576         Matthias Köppe.)
1577
1578 2000-08-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1579
1580         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1581         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1582         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1583         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1584         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1585
1586         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1587
1588 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1589
1590         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
1591         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1592
1593         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1594         syntactic bindings.
1595
1596         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1597         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1598         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
1599         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1600
1601         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
1602
1603         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
1604         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
1605
1606         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
1607
1608         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1609         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1610
1611 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1612
1613         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1614         definition of module-type.
1615
1616         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1617
1618         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1619
1620         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1621         lines.
1622         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1623         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1624
1625 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1626
1627         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
1628
1629 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1630
1631         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
1632         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
1633         Mikael for the suggestion.
1634
1635 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1636
1637         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1638         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1639
1640 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1641
1642         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1643         for export args.
1644
1645 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1646
1647         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
1648
1649 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1650
1651         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1652         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
1653         for the hint.
1654
1655         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
1656         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
1657         tail recursive yet.
1658
1659 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1660
1661         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1662         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1663
1664         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1665         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1666         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1667         See NEWS.
1668         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1669
1670         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1671
1672 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1673
1674         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1675         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1676
1677 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1678
1679         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1680         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1681
1682 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1683
1684         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
1685         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1686
1687 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1688
1689         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1690
1691         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1692
1693         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1694
1695 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1696
1697         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1698         '() instead of #f.
1699         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1700         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1701         `the-root-module'.
1702         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1703
1704         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1705         documentation.scm.
1706
1707         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1708         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1709         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1710         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1711         (help): Rewritten.
1712
1713         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1714
1715         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1716
1717 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1718
1719         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1720         (write-all): Removed.
1721         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
1722         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
1723
1724 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
1725
1726         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1727         `proc-documentation'
1728
1729         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
1730         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1731         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1732         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1733         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1734         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1735         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1736         getter...)
1737
1738 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1739
1740         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
1741
1742 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1743
1744         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1745         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
1746         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1747         closure.
1748
1749 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1750
1751         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
1752         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1753         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
1754         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
1755         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1756         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1757         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1758
1759 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1760
1761         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
1762         accept complex numbers as parameter.
1763
1764 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1765
1766         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1767         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
1768
1769 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1770
1771         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1772         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1773         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1774         instead of remove-if when iterating.
1775         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1776         delete-if! when iterating.
1777
1778 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1779
1780         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1781
1782 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1783
1784         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
1785
1786 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1787
1788         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1789         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
1790         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1791         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1792
1793 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1794
1795         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
1796         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1797
1798 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1799
1800         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
1801         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1802         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
1803         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
1804
1805 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1806
1807         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1808         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1809
1810 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1811
1812         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1813         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1814
1815 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1816
1817         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1818         Dirk Hermann!
1819
1820 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1821
1822         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1823         source of the numerous very short changes.
1824
1825 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1826
1827         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1828         public.
1829
1830         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1831         info pages.
1832
1833 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1834
1835         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1836         from slib docs.
1837
1838 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1839
1840         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1841         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1842
1843 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1844
1845         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1846         to string-append.
1847
1848 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1849
1850         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1851         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
1852         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1853
1854 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1855
1856         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1857         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1858         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
1859         Narazaki for this change.
1860
1861 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1862
1863         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1864         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1865         %S.
1866
1867         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1868         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1869
1870 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1871
1872         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1873         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1874
1875 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1876
1877         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1878         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1879         use define-public to export from the module.

1883         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1884         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1885         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!

1922         available before using getpw and getuid.
1923         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1924         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1925         check for stat.
1926         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1927         check for .guile, instead of stat.
1928         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1929         available.

1932         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1933
1934         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from

1967
1968         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1969         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1970
1971 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1972
1973         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

1988
1989         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of

1993
1994 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1995

2002         argument.
2003

2006         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
2007         Use selector `frame-number';

2016         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
2017         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
2018
2019         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
2020         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
2021         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
2022
2023 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2024
2025         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
2026
2027         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
2028
2029         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
2030
2031         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2032
2033 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2034
2035         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
2036         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
2037         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
2038         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
2039         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
2040         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
2041         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
2042         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
2043         libguile-config-stamp.
2044         * version.scm.in: Delete.
2045         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
2046         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
2047         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
2048         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
2049
2050 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2051
2052         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
2053         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
2054         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
2055
2056         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
2057         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
2058         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
2059         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
2060         readline.
2061
2062         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
2063
2064 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
2065
2066         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
2067
2068 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2069
2070         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
2071         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
2072
2073 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
2074
2075         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
2076         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
2077         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
2078         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
2079         objects starting with '#/'.
2080
2081 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2082
2083         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
2084         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
2085         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
2086         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
2087         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
2088         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
2089         `observer-id'.
2090         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
2091         module-modified): New procedures.
2092         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
2093         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
2094
2095 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2096
2097         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
2098         defines.
2099
2100 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2101
2102         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
2103         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
2104         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2105
2106         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
2107         position.
2108
2109 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2110
2111         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
2112         at multiple calls to read.
2113         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
2114         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
2115         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
2116         continued-lines prompt.
2117
2118         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
2119         reading expressions.
2120
2121 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2122
2123         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
2124         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2125
2126 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2127
2128         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
2129         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
2130         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2131
2132         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2133
2134         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
2135         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
2136
2137         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
2138         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
2139         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
2140         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
2141         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
2142         instead of a port.
2143
2144 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2145
2146         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
2147         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2148
2149         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
2150
2151         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
2152         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
2153         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
2154         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
2155
2156         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
2157
2158         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2159
2160         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
2161         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
2162         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
2163         an alist.
2164
2165         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2166
2167         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
2168         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
2169         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
2170         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
2171         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
2172         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2173         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
2174         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
2175         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
2176         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2177         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
2178
2179         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2180
2181         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
2182         peeked from the stream.
2183         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
2184         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
2185         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
2186
2187         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2188
2189         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
2190         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
2191
2192         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2193
2194         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2195         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
2196         exiting repl with single control-D.
2197
2198         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2199
2200         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2201         error catching loop after quit received.
2202         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2203
2204         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2205         primitive exit if non-interactive.
2206         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2207
2208         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2209         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2210         boot-9.scm.
2211         * popen.scm: new file.
2212
2213 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2214
2215        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
2216        (reverse-iota):  removed.
2217
2218 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2219
2220         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
2221         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
2222
2223 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2224
2225         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2226         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2227         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2228         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2229         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2230
2231 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2232
2233         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2234
2235         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2236         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2237
2238         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2239         Guile's module system.
2240
2241         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2242         changes:
2243         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2244         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2245         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2246         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
2247         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2248         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2249         modern CL behavior.
2250         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2251         '() when the condition is false.
2252
2253 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2254
2255         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2256
2257 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2258
2259         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2260
2261 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2262
2263         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2264         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2265         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2266
2267 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2268
2269         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2270         argument order for hash-fold.
2271
2272 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2273
2274         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
2275         resolve-module.
2276         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2277         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2278
2279         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2280         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2281         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2282         has been added to the load path).
2283
2284         Use try-load-module.
2285
2286 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2287
2288         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
2289         module between system and user state.
2290
2291 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2292
2293         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2294
2295         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2296         definition.
2297
2298 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2299
2300         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2301         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2302         system can create a wrapper class for it.
2303
2304 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2305
2306         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2307         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
2308         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2309         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2310         stack frame encountered.
2311
2312         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2313         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2314         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2315         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2316         list).]
2317
2318         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2319         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2320         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2321         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2322         please tell me!]
2323
2324         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2325         define-module switches:
2326
2327         (define-module (foo)
2328           :no-backtrace)
2329
2330         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2331         modules.
2332
2333         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2334         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2335         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2336         module it is a system frame.
2337
2338         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2339         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2340         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2341         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2342         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2343
2344         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2345         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
2346         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2347         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2348         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
2349         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2350
2351         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2352         status of a module.;
2353         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2354         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2355
2356         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2357         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2358         closure to the module.
2359
2360         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2361
2362 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2363
2364         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
2365
2366 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2367
2368         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
2369
2370 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2371
2372         Fix from Russ McManus:
2373         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2374         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2375         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2376         either an optional or required value.
2377
2378 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2379
2380         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2381
2382         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2383         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2384
2385         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2386         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2387         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2388         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2389
2390 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2391
2392         * optargs.scm: New file.
2393         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2394         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2395
2396 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2397
2398         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2399         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2400         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2401
2402 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2403
2404         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2405         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2406         for isn't loaded.
2407
2408 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2409
2410         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2411
2412 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2413
2414         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2415         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2416         applied to the module itself.
2417
2418 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2419
2420         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2421
2422         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2423         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2424
2425 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2426
2427         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2428
2429 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2430
2431         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2432
2433 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2434
2435         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2436         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2437
2438 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2439
2440         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2441         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2442         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2443         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2444         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2445         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2446         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2447
2448 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2449
2450         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2451         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2452
2453 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2454
2455         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2456         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2457         static libraries.
2458
2459 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2460
2461         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2462
2463 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2464
2465         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2466
2467 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2468
2469         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2470         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2471         adapt to the new hooks.
2472
2473 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2474
2475         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2476         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2477         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2478         code.
2479         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2480         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2481
2482         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2483         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2484         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2485         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2486         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2487         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2488         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2489         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2490         first to register linked modules.
2491
2492         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2493         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2494         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2495
2496         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2497         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2498         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2499         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2500
2501         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2502         to use from C:
2503         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2504         libguile/feature.c.
2505
2506         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2507         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2508         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2509
2510 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2511
2512         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2513         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2514         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2515
2516 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2517
2518         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2519         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2520         result of the last form.
2521
2522 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2523
2524         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2525         syncase.scm.
2526
2527         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2528
2529         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2530         readline-set!: New options interface.
2531
2532         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2533
2534 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2535
2536         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2537         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2538
2539 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2540
2541         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2542         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2543
2544 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2545
2546         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2547         interactive session.
2548         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2549
2550         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2551         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2552
2553 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2554
2555         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2556
2557 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2558
2559         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2560         read line was empty.
2561
2562 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2563
2564         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2565         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2566
2567         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2568
2569         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2570         problem.  Duh.
2571         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2572         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2573         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2574
2575         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2576         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2577         into...
2578         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2579         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2580         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2581
2582         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2583         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2584         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2585         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2586         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2587         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2588         psyntax.ss.
2589         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2590
2591         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2592         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2593
2594 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2595
2596         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2597         and short vectors #h(...).
2598
2599 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2600
2601         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2602         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2603         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2604
2605 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2606
2607         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2608         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2609         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2610
2611 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2612
2613         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2614         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2615
2616         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2617         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2618         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2619         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2620
2621 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2622
2623         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2624         trace flag.
2625
2626         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2627         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2628         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2629         context with traps enabled.
2630
2631 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2632
2633         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2634         module.
2635         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2636
2637 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2638
2639         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2640         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2641         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2642         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2643         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2644
2645 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2646
2647         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2648         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2649
2650 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2651
2652         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2653
2654 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2655
2656         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2657
2658 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2659
2660         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2661
2662 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2663
2664         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2665         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2666
2667 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2668
2669         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2670         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2671         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2672         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
2673         Archibald.)
2674
2675         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2676         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2677         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2678
2679 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2680
2681         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2682         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2683         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2684         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
2685         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2686         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2687         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2688
2689 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2690
2691         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2692
2693 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2694
2695         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2696         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2697         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
2698         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2699         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2700         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2701
2702 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2703
2704         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2705         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2706         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
2707         Steven G. Johnson.)
2708
2709 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2710
2711         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2712
2713 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2714
2715         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2716
2717 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2718
2719         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2720         be completed.
2721
2722 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2723
2724         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2725
2726 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2727
2728         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2729         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2730
2731 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2732
2733         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2734         similar in use to `use-modules'.
2735         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2736         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2737         transformer.
2738         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2739         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2740
2741 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2742
2743         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2744
2745 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2746
2747         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2748         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2749         completion.
2750
2751         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2752         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2753
2754         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2755         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2756         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2757
2758         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2759
2760 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2761
2762         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2763
2764         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2765         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2766
2767 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2768
2769         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2770
2771 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2772
2773         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
2774         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2775
2776         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2777
2778         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
2779         obsolete.
2780
2781 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2782
2783         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2784         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2785
2786 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2787
2788         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2789
2790 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2791
2792         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
2793         Stachowiak.)
2794
2795 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2796
2797         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2798         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
2799         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2800         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2801         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2802         threads.
2803
2804 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2805
2806         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2807         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2808         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2809
2810 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2811
2812         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2813
2814         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2815         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2816
2817 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2818
2819         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2820         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2821         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2822         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2823         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
2824         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2825         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2826         to go here.
2827
2828 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2829
2830         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2831         is now a fluid.
2832
2833 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2834
2835         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2836         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2837         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
2838         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
2839         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2840         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2841
2842 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2843
2844         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2845         usefully so they will work from a script.
2846
2847 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2848
2849         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2850         neighborhood of the record code.
2851
2852 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2853
2854         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
2855         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2856         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2857         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2858
2859 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2860
2861         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2862         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2863         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2864
2865 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2866
2867         Add support for readline function.
2868         * readline.scm: New module.
2869         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2870         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2871         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2872         anything.
2873         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2874         repl-reader to use them.
2875         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2876
2877         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2878
2879 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2880
2881         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2882         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2883
2884 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2885
2886         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2887         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2888         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2889
2890 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2891
2892         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
2893         #f, abort terminates the process.
2894         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2895         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
2896
2897 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2898
2899         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2900         print-state, throw it away.
2901
2902 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2903
2904         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2905         `0'.
2906
2907 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2908
2909         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2910         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2911         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2912         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2913         user field).
2914         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2915         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2916
2917 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2918
2919         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2920
2921 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2922
2923         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2924         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2925         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2926         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2927         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2928         boot-9.scm.
2929         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2930         distribution and installation.
2931         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2932
2933 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2934
2935         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
2936
2937 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2938
2939         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2940         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
2941         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2942
2943         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2944         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2945         symbol.
2946

2954
2955         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2956         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2957         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2958         field a separate argument.
2959
2960         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2961

2963
2964         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2965
2966         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

2975
2976         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2977         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2978         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2979         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2980         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
2981         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2982         registered.
2983         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2984         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2985         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2986         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2987         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically

3000
3001         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
3002
3003         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
3004         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
3005         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
3006         expansion inside the slib module.
3007
3008         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

3016         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
3017
3018         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
3019         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
3020         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
3021         source.
3022         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
3023         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
3024         been loaded.
3025
3026 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

3033         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

3035         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
3036         mutator for module-associated transformer.
3037         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
3038         `scm:eval-transformer'.
3039         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
3040         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
3041         module.
3042         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
3043
3044 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3045
3046         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
3047
3048         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
3049         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
3050         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
3051         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
3052         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
3053
3054         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
3055         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
3056         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
3057         syncase macros.
3058         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
3059         the syncase interface.
3060
3061 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3062
3063         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
3064         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
3065         workings of the current module system).
3066
3067 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3068
3069         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
3070         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
3071         off!
3072
3073 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3080
3081         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
3082         according to the following priorities:
3083         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
3084         2. bindings from the-scm-module
3085         3. tcl bindings
3086         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
3087         disabling the scheme interpreter.
3088         (new-interpreter): New function.
3089
3090         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
3091         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
3092         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
3093

3109
3110         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
3111         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
3112         source!
3113
3114 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

3121         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
3122         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
3123         in stack-ref).
3124
3125         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
3126         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
3127         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
3128         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
3129         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
3130         result protocol;

3143
3144 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3145
3146         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
3147         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
3148         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
3149
3150         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
3151
3152         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
3153         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
3154         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman

3164         cstime.
3165
3166 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3167
3168         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
3169         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
3170         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
3171
3172         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
3173         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
3174         the top.
3175
3176         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
3177         order to narrow it correctly.
3178         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

3182         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
3183         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
3184
3185 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3186
3187         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
3188
3189 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3190
3191         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
3192         builtin `with-fluids*'.
3193
3194 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3195
3196         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3197         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
3198         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
3199
3200 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3212
3213 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3214
3215         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
3216         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
3217         a default of /.
3218
3219         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
3220
3221 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

3223         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
3224         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
3225         notation, instead of #/ notation.

3228         make-regexp.
3229

3231
3232         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3233         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3234         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
3235         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3236         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3237         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3238
3239         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3240         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3241         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3242         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3243
3244 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3245
3246         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3247         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
3248         sending in bug reports.
3249         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3250         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3251         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3252         display a warning if the two are different.
3253         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3254         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3255         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3256
3257 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

3260
3261 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3262
3263         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3264         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3265
3266         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3267         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3268         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3269         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3270         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3271         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3272         that's okay.
3273
3274         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
3275         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3276         regexp interface.
3277
3278         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3279         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
3280
3281         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3282         function names.
3283
3284         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3285         fixes.
3286
3287 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3288
3289         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3290         ../configure.in.
3291
3292 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3293
3294         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3295         vtable and not the one of the struct.
3296
3297 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3298
3299         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3300         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3301         to support printing of structures.
3302         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3303         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
3304         commented out printing code.
3305         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3306         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
3307
3308 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3309
3310         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3311
3312 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3313
3314         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3315         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3316         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3317         during call to scm-style-repl.
3318
3319 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3320
3321         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3322         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3323         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3324         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3325         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3326
3327 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3328
3329         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3330         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3331         (ice-9 regex).
3332
3333 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3334
3335         * regex.scm: New file.
3336         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3337         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3338
3339 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3340
3341         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
3342         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
3343         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,

3347
3348         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
3349         in 1997.
3350
3351 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3352
3353         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3354         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3355         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3356
3357 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3358
3359         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3360         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3361         here.
3362
3363 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3364
3365         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3366
3367 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3368
3369         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3370
3371 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3372
3373         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3374         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3375         fixes this too.
3376
3377 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3378
3379         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3380         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3381         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3382
3383 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3384
3385         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3386         the Scheme code like code yet.
3387         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3388
3389 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3390
3391         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3392         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3393         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3394
3395 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3396
3397         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3398         use-modules macro
3399         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3400         can't be found.
3401
3402 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3403
3404         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3405
3406 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3407
3408         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3409
3410         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3411         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3412         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3413
3414 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3415
3416         Get 'make dist' to work again.
3417         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3418         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
3419
3420         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3421         no plugins.
3422         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3423         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3424
3425 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3426
3427         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
3428         functions.
3429
3430 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3431
3432         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
3433
3434 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3435
3436         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3437         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
3438
3439 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3440
3441         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3442         instead of in libguile.
3443         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3444         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3445
3446 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3447
3448         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3449         procedures.
3450         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3451         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3452
3453 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3454
3455         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3456         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3457
3458 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3459
3460         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3461         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3462         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3463         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3464
3465 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3466
3467         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3468         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3469
3470 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3471
3472         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3473
3474 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3475
3476         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3477         keywords and symbols.
3478
3479 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3480
3481         * slib.scm: update read usage.
3482
3483         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3484         Don't define read-sharp.
3485
3486         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3487         (read-sharp): removed.
3488         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3489         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3490
3491 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3492
3493         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3494
3495         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
3496         primitive procedure.)
3497
3498         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3499         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3500
3501 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3502
3503         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3504
3505 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3506
3507         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3508
3509 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3510
3511         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3512         read gets EOF.
3513         * (exit): alias for quit.
3514
3515 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3516
3517         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3518         return the quit args.
3519         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3520         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3521         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3522
3523         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3524
3525 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3526
3527         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3528
3529         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3530         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3531
3532         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3533         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3534
3535         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3536         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3537         of handlers.
3538
3539 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3540
3541         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3542
3543         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3544         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3545         Change hooks to use these functions.
3546
3547         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3548         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3549         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3550         the source! :-)
3551         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3552         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3553         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3554         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3555         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3556         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3557         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3558         traced.
3559
3560         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3561         and exit-frame exceptions.
3562
3563         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3564         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3565         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3566         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3567         result; otherwise display "> ".
3568         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3569
3570         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3571         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3572         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3573         repository version runnable.
3574
3575 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3576
3577         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3578         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3579         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3580         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3581         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3582         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3583
3584 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3585
3586         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3587         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3588         and eval.
3589         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3590         "defined?".
3591         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3592         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3593
3594 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3595
3596         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3597
3598 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3599
3600         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3601         %read-sharp layer.
3602
3603 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3604
3605         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3606         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3607
3608 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3609
3610         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3611         backtrace.c.)
3612
3613 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3614
3615         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3616         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3617
3618 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3619
3620         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3621
3622         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3623         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3624         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3625         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3626         dynamic linking of modules.
3627         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3628         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3629
3630 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3631
3632         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3633
3634 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3635
3636         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3637         that's what it is.
3638
3639         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3640         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3641         was false.
3642
3643 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3644
3645         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3646         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3647         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3648
3649 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3650
3651         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3652         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
3653         yet.
3654
3655 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3656
3657         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3658         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3659         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3660
3661 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3662
3663         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3664         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3665         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3666         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3667
3668         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3669         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3670         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3671         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3672         (such as the-scm-module).
3673
3674 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3675
3676         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3677         %search-load-path.
3678
3679 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
3680
3681         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3682         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3683         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3684
3685 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3686
3687         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3688         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3689         function, use it accordingly.
3690
3691 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3692
3693         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
3694         function of no arguments.
3695         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3696         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3697         set-current-module): Uses changed.
3698         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3699         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3700         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3701         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3702         *top-level-eval-closure*.
3703
3704 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3705
3706         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3707         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3708
3709 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3710
3711         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3712         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3713         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
3714         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
3715         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3716
3717         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3718         `*features*'.
3719
3720         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3721         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
3722         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3723         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3724
3725         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3726
3727         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3728
3729         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3730         If the user wants to see this, he can do
3731         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3732
3733         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3734         error.
3735
3736         Added `before-read-hook'.
3737
3738         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3739
3740         (provide): New function.
3741
3742         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3743         in backtraces.
3744
3745         (backtrace): New function.
3746
3747         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3748         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3749         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
3750         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3751         is found in operator position in a frame.
3752
3753         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3754         by default.
3755
3756         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3757         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3758         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3759
3760         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
3761
3762         (library-vicinity): Updated.
3763
3764         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3765
3766         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3767
3768 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3769
3770         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3771
3772         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3773         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
3774
3775         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3776         so they'll get distributed.
3777
3778         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
3779         should see as little clutter as possible.
3780         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3781         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3782         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3783
3784         * r4rs.scm: New file.
3785         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3786         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3787         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3788         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3789         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3790         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3791         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3792         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3793         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3794         that are not.
3795         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3796         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3797
3798         * test.scm: New file.
3799
3800         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3801         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
3802         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3803
3804         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3805         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3806
3807         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3808         work now.
3809         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
3810         call %load-announce.
3811
3812 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3813
3814         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3815         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3816         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3817         components.
3818         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3819
3820 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3821
3822         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3823         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3824         SCSH (which this isn't).
3825
3826 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3827
3828         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3829
3830 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3831
3832         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3833         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3834         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3835         these.
3836         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
3837         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
3838         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3839         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3840         save-stack.
3841
3842 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3843
3844         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3845
3846         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3847
3848         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3849         error-catching-loop.
3850         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3851         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3852         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3853
3854         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3855         error-catching-loop.
3856
3857 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3858
3859         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3860         (make-module): Rework for readability.
3861         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3862         should be '(), not #f.
3863
3864         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3865         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3866
3867 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3868
3869         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3870         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3871         error-signal.
3872
3873 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3874
3875         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3876         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3877         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3878         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3879
3880 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3881
3882         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3883
3884 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3885
3886         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3887
3888         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3889         throw-handler-default.
3890         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3891         reported.
3892         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3893         acro.
3894         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3895         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3896
3897 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3898
3899         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3900         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3901         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3902         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3903
3904 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3905
3906         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3907         Append "." to the default %load-path.
3908         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3909         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3910         ...))
3911         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3912         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3913         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3914         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3915         file-is-directory?
3916
3917 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3918
3919         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3920
3921         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3922         distribution.
3923
3924         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3925         `switch-repl'.
3926
3927         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3928
3929 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3930
3931         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3932         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3933
3934 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3935
3936         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3937
3938         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3939
3940 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3941
3942         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
3943         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3944         Don't set up 'error as a key.
3945         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3946         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3947
3948         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3949         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3950         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3951         they seem redundant.
3952         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3953         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
3954         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3955         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
3956         directly files starting with "/").
3957         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3958         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3959
3960         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3961
3962 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3963
3964         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3965         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3966         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
3967         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3968         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3969         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3970         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
3971         robust to just do it in the C code.

4036
4037         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
4038         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other

4078         for these.
