[bpt/guile.git] / ice-9 / ChangeLog
1 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2
3 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
4 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
5 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
6 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
7 split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
8 split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
9 split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
10 split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
11 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
12 string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
13 sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
14 sans-final-newline): Use substring instead of
15 make-shared-substring.
16
17 2000-11-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
18
19 * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
20 removed. values and call-with-values are now primitives and
21 the other two were only exported by accident. don't define
22 *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
23 scm-style-repl.
24
25 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
26
27 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
28 and open-output-pipe.
29
30 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
31
32 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
33 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
34 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
35 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
36 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
37 Pirotte for the bug report).
38 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
39 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
40
41 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
42
43 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.
44 Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.
45
46 2000-10-15 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
47
48 * optargs.scm: Fix typos in commentary for bound? and lambda*.
49
50 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
51
52 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): regexp-exec does not
53 accept symbol arguments any more. Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
54 patch.
55
56 2000-09-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
57
58 * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f. thanks to
59 Jacques A. Vidrine.
60
61 2000-09-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
62
63 * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
64 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
65 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
66
67 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
68 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
69 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
70 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
71 actual documentation entries themselves.
72
73 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
74
75 * boot-9.scm: Removed comment. (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
76
77 2000-09-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
78
79 * syncase.scm (putprop): Use the high-level property interface.
80
81 2000-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
82
83 * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
84 Convert first argument to a string.
85
86 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
87 getter-and-setter-syntax,
88 delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
89 argument. (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
90
91 * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
92
93 * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
94
95 2000-08-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
96
97 * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
98
99 2000-08-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
100
101 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
102 `symbol-append'.
103 (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
104 args.
105 (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed. I don't
106 think I'll announce this in NEWS even. One of the functions never
107 even worked... /mdj.
108 (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
109 `symbol->string'.
110 (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
111 semantics.
112
113 2000-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
114
115 * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
116 form set!.
117
118 2000-08-19 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
119
120 * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
121 #:allow-other-keys. Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
122
123 2000-08-17 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
124
125 * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.
126
127 2000-08-16 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
128
129 * optargs.scm: Replaced `#&' reader syntax with keywords.
130
131 2000-08-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
132
133 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive. (Thanks to
134 Matthias Köppe.)
135
136 2000-08-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
137
138 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
139 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
140 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
141 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
142 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
143
144 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
145
146 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
147
148 * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition. (Is now
149 provided by libguile/modules.c.)
150
151 * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
152 syntactic bindings.
153
154 * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
155 record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
156 (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto. (This is actually a bugfix!)
157 (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
158
159 * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
160
161 * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
162 (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
163
164 * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
165
166 * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
167 (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
168
169 2000-08-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
170
171 * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
172 definition of module-type.
173
174 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
175
176 * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
177
178 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
179 lines.
180 (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
181 *after* all used interfaces has been added.
182
183 >>>>>>> 1.341
184 2000-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
185
186 * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to thi!
187
188 2000-07-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
189
190 * boot-9.scm (expt): In case of negative integer exponents return
191 an exact result if the input paramters were exact. Thanks to
192 Mikael for the suggestion.
193
194 2000-07-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
195
196 * boot-9.scm (expt): Make sure that integer-expt is only called
197 if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
198
199 2000-07-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
200
201 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
202 for export args.
203
204 2000-06-27 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
205
206 * popen.scm: gc-thunk is deprecated. Use after-gc-hook instead.
207
208 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
209
210 * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
211 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber
212 for the hint.
213
214 (delete-if!, delete-if-not!): Renamed parameter from `list' to
215 `l' in order to avoid confusion. Note: These functions are not
216 tail recursive yet.
217
218 2000-06-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
219
220 * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
221 and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
222
223 * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
224 (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
225 (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
226 See NEWS.
227 (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
228
229 * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
230
231 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
232
233 * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
234 module graph. (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
235
236 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
237
238 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
239 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
240
241 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
242
243 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
244 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
245
246 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
247
248 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
249
250 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
251
252 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
253
254 2000-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
255
256 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
257 '() instead of #f.
258 (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
259 (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
260 `the-root-module'.
261 (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
262
263 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
264 documentation.scm.
265
266 * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
267 (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
268 (apropos-fold): New procedure.
269 (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
270 (help): Rewritten.
271
272 * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
273
274 * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
275
276 2000-06-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
277
278 * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
279 (write-all): Removed.
280 (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'. Return
281 documentation string instead of printing it. Not exported.
282
283 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
284
285 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
286 `proc-documentation'
287
288 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
289 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
290 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
291 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
292 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
293 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
294 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
295 getter...)
296
297 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
298
299 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
300
301 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
302
303 * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
304 anonymous. Now needed in modules.c.
305 (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
306 closure.
307
308 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
309
310 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
311 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
312 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
313 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
314 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
315 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
316 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
317
318 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
319
320 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
321 accept complex numbers as parameter.
322
323 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
324
325 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
326 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
327
328 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
329
330 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
331 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
332 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
333 instead of remove-if when iterating.
334 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
335 delete-if! when iterating.
336
337 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
338
339 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
340
341 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
342
343 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
344
345 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
346
347 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
348 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
349 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
350 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
351
352 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
353
354 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
355 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
356
357 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
358
359 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
360 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
361 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
362 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
363
364 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
365
366 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
367 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
368
369 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
370
371 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
372 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
373
374 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
375
376 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
377 Dirk Hermann!
378
379 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
380
381 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
382 source of the numerous very short changes.
383
384 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
385
386 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
387 public.
388
389 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
390 info pages.
391
392 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
393
394 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
395 from slib docs.
396
397 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
398
399 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
400 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
401
402 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
403
404 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
405 to string-append.
406
407 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
408
409 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
410 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
411 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
412
413 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
414
415 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
416 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
417 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
418 Narazaki for this change.
419
420 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
421
422 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
423 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
424 %S.
425
426 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
427 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
428
429 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
430
431 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
432 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
433
434 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
435
436 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
437 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
438 use define-public to export from the module.
439
440 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
441
442 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
443 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
444 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
445
446 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
447
448 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
449
450 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
451
452 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
453 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
454
455 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
456
457 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
458
459 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
460
461 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
462
463 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
464
465 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
466 long_long uniform vectors.
467
468 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
469
470 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
471 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
472
473 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
474
475 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
476 script to create generated files like this one.
477
478 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
479
480 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
481 available before using getpw and getuid.
482 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
483 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
484 check for stat.
485 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
486 check for .guile, instead of stat.
487 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
488 available.
489 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
490 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
491 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
492
493 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
494 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
495
496 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
497
498 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
499
500 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
501 than 'exit-debugger.
502
503 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
504 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
505
506 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
507
508 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
509
510 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
511 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
512 ("position"): New command.
513 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
514 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
515 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
516 to return a valid state.)
517 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
518
519 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
520
521 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
522 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
523 Badros.)
524
525 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
526
527 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
528 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
529
530 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
531
532 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
533
534 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
535
536 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
537 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
538
539 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
540 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
541 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
542 expression.
543 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
544 Handle errors.
545
546 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
547
548 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
549 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
550
551 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
552
553 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
554
555 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
556 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
557 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
558 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
559
560 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
561 argument.
562
563 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
564 both forward and backward views of the stack
565 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
566 Use selector `frame-number';
567 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
568 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
569 Use (ice-9 debug).
570 Use readline conditionally.
571
572 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
573
574 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
575 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
576 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
577
578 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
579 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
580 Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
581
582 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
583
584 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
585
586 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
587
588 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
589
590 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
591
592 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
593
594 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
595 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
596 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
597 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
598 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
599 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
600 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
601 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
602 libguile-config-stamp.
603 * version.scm.in: Delete.
604 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
605 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
606 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
607 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
608
609 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
610
611 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
612 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
613 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
614
615 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
616 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
617 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
618 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
619 readline.
620
621 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
622
623 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
624
625 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
626
627 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
628
629 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
630 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
631
632 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
633
634 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
635 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
636 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
637 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
638 objects starting with '#/'.
639
640 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
641
642 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
643 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
644 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
645 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
646 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
647 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
648 `observer-id'.
649 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
650 module-modified): New procedures.
651 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
652 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
653
654 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
655
656 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
657 defines.
658
659 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
660
661 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
662 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
663 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
664
665 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
666 position.
667
668 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
669
670 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
671 at multiple calls to read.
672 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
673 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
674 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
675 continued-lines prompt.
676
677 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
678 reading expressions.
679
680 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
681
682 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
683 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
684
685 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
686
687 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
688 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
689 Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
690
691 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
692
693 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
694 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
695
696 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
697 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
698 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
699 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
700 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
701 instead of a port.
702
703 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
704
705 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
706 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
707
708 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
709
710 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
711 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
712 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
713 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
714
715 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
716
717 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
718
719 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
720 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
721 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
722 an alist.
723
724 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
725
726 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
727 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
728 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
729 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
730 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
731 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
732 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
733 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
734 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
735 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
736 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
737
738 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
739
740 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
741 peeked from the stream.
742 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
743 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
744 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
745
746 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
747
748 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
749 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
750
751 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
752
753 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
754 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
755 exiting repl with single control-D.
756
757 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
758
759 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
760 error catching loop after quit received.
761 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
762
763 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
764 primitive exit if non-interactive.
765 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
766
767 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
768 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
769 boot-9.scm.
770 * popen.scm: new file.
771
772 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
773
774 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
775 (reverse-iota): removed.
776
777 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
778
779 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
780 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
781
782 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
783
784 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
785 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
786 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
787 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
788 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
789
790 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
791
792 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
793
794 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
795 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
796
797 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
798 Guile's module system.
799
800 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
801 changes:
802 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
803 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
804 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
805 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
806 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
807 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
808 modern CL behavior.
809 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
810 '() when the condition is false.
811
812 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
813
814 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
815
816 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
817
818 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
819
820 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
821
822 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
823 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
824 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
825
826 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
827
828 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
829 argument order for hash-fold.
830
831 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
832
833 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
834 resolve-module.
835 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
836 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
837
838 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
839 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
840 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
841 has been added to the load path).
842
843 Use try-load-module.
844
845 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
846
847 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
848 module between system and user state.
849
850 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
851
852 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
853
854 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
855 definition.
856
857 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
858
859 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
860 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
861 system can create a wrapper class for it.
862
863 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
864
865 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
866 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
867 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
868 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
869 stack frame encountered.
870
871 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
872 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
873 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
874 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
875 list).]
876
877 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
878 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
879 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
880 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
881 please tell me!]
882
883 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
884 define-module switches:
885
886 (define-module (foo)
887 :no-backtrace)
888
889 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
890 modules.
891
892 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
893 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
894 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
895 module it is a system frame.
896
897 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
898 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
899 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
900 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
901 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
902
903 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
904 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
905 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
906 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
907 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
908 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
909
910 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
911 status of a module.;
912 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
913 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
914
915 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
916 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
917 closure to the module.
918
919 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
920
921 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
922
923 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
924
925 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
926
927 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
928
929 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
930
931 Fix from Russ McManus:
932 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
933 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
934 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
935 either an optional or required value.
936
937 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
938
939 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
940
941 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
942 of the '() key, not `rest'.
943
944 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
945 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
946 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
947 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
948
949 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
950
951 * optargs.scm: New file.
952 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
953 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
954
955 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
956
957 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
958 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
959 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
960
961 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
962
963 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
964 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
965 for isn't loaded.
966
967 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
968
969 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
970
971 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
972
973 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
974 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
975 applied to the module itself.
976
977 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
978
979 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
980
981 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
982 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
983
984 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
985
986 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
987
988 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
989
990 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
991
992 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
993
994 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
995 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
996
997 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
998
999 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1000 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1001 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1002 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1003 among BINDINGS is referenced.
1004 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
1005 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1006
1007 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1008
1009 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1010 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1011
1012 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1013
1014 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1015 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1016 static libraries.
1017
1018 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1019
1020 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1021
1022 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1023
1024 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1025
1026 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1027
1028 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1029 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1030 adapt to the new hooks.
1031
1032 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1033
1034 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1035 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
1036 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1037 code.
1038 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1039 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1040
1041 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1042 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1043 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1044 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1045 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1046 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1047 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1048 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1049 first to register linked modules.
1050
1051 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1052 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1053 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1054
1055 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1056 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1057 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1058 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1059
1060 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1061 to use from C:
1062 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1063 libguile/feature.c.
1064
1065 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1066 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1067 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1068
1069 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1070
1071 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1072 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1073 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1074
1075 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1076
1077 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
1078 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1079 result of the last form.
1080
1081 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1082
1083 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1084 syncase.scm.
1085
1086 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1087
1088 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1089 readline-set!: New options interface.
1090
1091 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1092
1093 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1094
1095 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1096 at the end of boot-9.scm.
1097
1098 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1099
1100 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1101 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1102
1103 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1104
1105 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1106 interactive session.
1107 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1108
1109 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1110 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1111
1112 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1113
1114 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1115
1116 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1117
1118 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1119 read line was empty.
1120
1121 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1122
1123 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1124 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1125
1126 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1127
1128 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1129 problem. Duh.
1130 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1131 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1132 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1133
1134 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1135 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1136 into...
1137 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1138 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1139 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1140
1141 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1142 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1143 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
1144 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1145 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1146 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1147 psyntax.ss.
1148 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1149
1150 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1151 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1152
1153 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1154
1155 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1156 and short vectors #h(...).
1157
1158 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1159
1160 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1161 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1162 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1163
1164 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1165
1166 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1167 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
1168 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1169
1170 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1171
1172 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1173 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1174
1175 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1176 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
1177 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
1178 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1179
1180 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1181
1182 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1183 trace flag.
1184
1185 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1186 order to allow the empty list as arg.
1187 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1188 context with traps enabled.
1189
1190 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1191
1192 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1193 module.
1194 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1195
1196 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1197
1198 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1199 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1200 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
1201 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1202 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1203
1204 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1205
1206 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1207 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1208
1209 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1210
1211 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1212
1213 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1214
1215 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1216
1217 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1218
1219 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1220
1221 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1222
1223 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1224 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1225
1226 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1227
1228 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1229 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1230 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1231 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
1232 Archibald.)
1233
1234 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1235 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1236 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1237
1238 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1239
1240 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1241 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1242 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1243 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
1244 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1245 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1246 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1247
1248 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1249
1250 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1251
1252 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1253
1254 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1255 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1256 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
1257 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1258 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1259 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1260
1261 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1262
1263 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1264 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1265 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
1266 Steven G. Johnson.)
1267
1268 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1269
1270 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1271
1272 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1273
1274 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1275
1276 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1277
1278 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1279 be completed.
1280
1281 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1282
1283 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1284
1285 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1286
1287 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1288 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1289
1290 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1291
1292 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1293 similar in use to `use-modules'.
1294 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1295 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1296 transformer.
1297 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1298 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1299
1300 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1301
1302 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1303
1304 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1305
1306 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1307 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1308 completion.
1309
1310 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1311 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1312
1313 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1314 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1315 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1316
1317 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1318
1319 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1320
1321 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1322
1323 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1324 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1325
1326 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1327
1328 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1329
1330 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1331
1332 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
1333 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1334
1335 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1336
1337 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
1338 obsolete.
1339
1340 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1341
1342 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1343 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1344
1345 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1346
1347 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1348
1349 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1350
1351 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
1352 Stachowiak.)
1353
1354 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1355
1356 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1357 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
1358 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1359 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1360 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1361 threads.
1362
1363 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1364
1365 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1366 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1367 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1368
1369 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1370
1371 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1372
1373 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1374 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1375
1376 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1377
1378 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1379 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1380 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1381 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1382 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1383 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1384 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1385 to go here.
1386
1387 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1388
1389 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1390 is now a fluid.
1391
1392 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1393
1394 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1395 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1396 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1397 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1398 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1399 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1400
1401 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1402
1403 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1404 usefully so they will work from a script.
1405
1406 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1407
1408 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1409 neighborhood of the record code.
1410
1411 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1412
1413 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1414 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1415 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1416 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1417
1418 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1419
1420 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1421 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.

1423
1424 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1425
1426 Add support for readline function.
1427 * readline.scm: New module.
1428 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1429 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1430 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1431 anything.
1432 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1433 repl-reader to use them.
1434 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1435
1436 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1437
1438 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

1447 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1448
1449 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1450
1451 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
1452 #f, abort terminates the process.
1453 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1454 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1455
1456 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1457
1458 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1459 print-state, throw it away.
1460
1461 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1462
1463 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of

1465
1466 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1467
1468 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1469 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1470 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1471 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1472 user field).
1473 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1474 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1475
1476 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1477
1478 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1479
1480 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1481
1482 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1483 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1484 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1485 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1486 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1487 boot-9.scm.
1488 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1489 distribution and installation.
1490 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1491
1492 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1493

1495
1496 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1497
1498 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1499 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1500 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1501
1502 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1503 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1504 symbol.
1505
1506 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1507
1508 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1509
1510 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1511
1512 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

1514 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1515 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1516 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1517 field a separate argument.
1518
1519 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1520
1521 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1522
1523 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1524

1528
1529 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1530
1531 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1532
1533 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1534
1535 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1536 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1537 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1538 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1539 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1540 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1541 registered.
1542 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1543 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1544 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1545 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1546 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1547 link a .so-file.
1548
1549 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1550
1551 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

1559
1560 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1561
1562 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1563 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1564 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1565 expansion inside the slib module.
1566
1567 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1568 constructors.
1569 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.

1575 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1576
1577 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1578 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1579 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1580 source.
1581 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1582 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1583 been loaded.
1584
1585 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1586
1587 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1588 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1589 `use-syntax'.

1593 (make-module): Modified initialization.
1594 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1595 mutator for module-associated transformer.
1596 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set

1598 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1599 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1600 module.
1601 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1602

1604
1605 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1606
1607 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1608 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1609 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1610 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1611 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1612
1613 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1614 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1615 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1616 syncase macros.
1617 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1618 the syncase interface.
1619
1620 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1621
1622 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1623 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1624 workings of the current module system).
1625
1626 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1627
1628 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1629 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1630 off!
1631
1632 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1633
1634 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1635 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1636 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1637
1638 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1639
1640 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1641 according to the following priorities:
1642 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1643 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1644 3. tcl bindings
1645 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1646 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1647 (new-interpreter): New function.
1648
1649 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1650 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1651 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1652

1668
1669 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1670 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
1671 source!
1672
1673 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1674
1675 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1676 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
1677 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
1678 symbols matching regexp.
1679
1680 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
1681 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1682 in stack-ref).
1683
1684 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1685 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;

1691 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1692
1693 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1694
1695 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1696 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1697
1698 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1699 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1700
1701 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1702
1703 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1704
1705 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1706 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1707 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.

1716
1717 * session.scm: New file: Session support.
1718 (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.
1719
1720 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1721
1722 * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
1723 cstime.
1724
1725 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1726
1727 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1728 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1729 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1730
1731 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1732 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1733 the top.
1734
1735 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1736 order to narrow it correctly.
1737 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1738
1739 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1740

1754
1755 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1756 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1757 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1758
1759 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1760
1761 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1762 automatically.
1763
1764 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1765

1769 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1770 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1771
1772 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1773
1774 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:

1776 a default of /.
1777

1783 poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1784 notation, instead of #/ notation.
1785

1787 make-regexp.
1788
1789 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1790
1791 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1792 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1793 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1794 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1795 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1796 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1797
1798 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1799 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1800 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1801 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1802
1803 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1804
1805 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1806 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1807 sending in bug reports.
1808 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1809 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1810 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1811 display a warning if the two are different.
1812 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1813 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1814 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1815
1816 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1817
1818 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.

1821
1822 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1823 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1824
1825 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1826 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1827 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1828 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1829 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1830 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1831 that's okay.
1832
1833 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1834 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1835 regexp interface.
1836
1837 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1838 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1839
1840 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1841 function names.
1842
1843 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1844 fixes.
1845
1846 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1849 ../configure.in.
1850
1851 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1852
1853 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1854 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1855
1856 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1857
1858 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1859 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1860 to support printing of structures.
1861 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1862 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1863 commented out printing code.
1864 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1865 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1866
1867 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1868
1869 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1870
1871 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1872
1873 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1874 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1875 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1876 during call to scm-style-repl.
1877
1878 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1879
1880 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1881 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1882 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1883 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1884 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1885
1886 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1887
1888 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1889 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1890 (ice-9 regex).
1891
1892 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1893
1894 * regex.scm: New file.
1895 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1896 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1897
1898 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1899
1900 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1901 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1902 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1903 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1904
1905 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1906
1907 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1908 in 1997.
1909
1910 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1911
1912 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1913 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1914 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1915
1916 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1917
1918 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1919 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1920 here.
1921
1922 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1923
1924 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1925
1926 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1927
1928 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1929
1930 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1931
1932 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1933 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1934 fixes this too.
1935
1936 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1937
1938 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1939 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1940 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1941
1942 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1943
1944 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1945 the Scheme code like code yet.
1946 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1947
1948 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1949
1950 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1951 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1952 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1953
1954 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1955
1956 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1957 use-modules macro
1958 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1959 can't be found.
1960
1961 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1962
1963 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1964
1965 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1966
1967 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1968
1969 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1970 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1971 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1972
1973 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1974
1975 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1976 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1977 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1978
1979 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1980 no plugins.
1981 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1982 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1983
1984 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1985
1986 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1987 functions.
1988
1989 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1990
1991 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1992
1993 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1994
1995 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1996 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1997
1998 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1999
2000 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2001 instead of in libguile.
2002 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2003 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2004
2005 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2006
2007 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2008 procedures.
2009 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2010 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2011
2012 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2013
2014 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2015 sockaddr:port): new functions.
2016
2017 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2018
2019 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2020 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2021 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2022 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2023
2024 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2025
2026 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2027 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2028
2029 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2030
2031 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2032
2033 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2034
2035 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2036 keywords and symbols.
2037
2038 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2039
2040 * slib.scm: update read usage.
2041
2042 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2043 Don't define read-sharp.
2044
2045 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2046 (read-sharp): removed.
2047 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2048 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2049
2050 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2051
2052 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2053
2054 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
2055 primitive procedure.)
2056
2057 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2058 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2059
2060 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2061
2062 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2063
2064 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2065
2066 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2067
2068 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2069
2070 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2071 read gets EOF.
2072 * (exit): alias for quit.
2073
2074 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2075
2076 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2077 return the quit args.
2078 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2079 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
2080 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2081
2082 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2083
2084 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2085
2086 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2087
2088 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2089 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2090
2091 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2092 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2093
2094 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2095 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2096 of handlers.
2097
2098 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2099
2100 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2101
2102 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2103 (add-hooks!): New macro.
2104 Change hooks to use these functions.
2105
2106 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
2107 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2108 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2109 the source! :-)
2110 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2111 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2112 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2113 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
2114 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2115 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2116 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2117 traced.
2118
2119 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2120 and exit-frame exceptions.
2121
2122 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2123 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2124 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2125 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2126 result; otherwise display "> ".
2127 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2128
2129 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2130 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2131 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
2132 repository version runnable.
2133
2134 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2135
2136 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2137 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
2138 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2139 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2140 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2141 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2142
2143 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2144
2145 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2146 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2147 and eval.
2148 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2149 "defined?".
2150 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2151 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
2152
2153 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2154
2155 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2156
2157 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2158
2159 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2160 %read-sharp layer.
2161
2162 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2163
2164 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2165 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2166
2167 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2168
2169 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
2170 backtrace.c.)
2171
2172 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2173
2174 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2175 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2176
2177 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2178
2179 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2180
2181 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2182 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2183 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2184 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2185 dynamic linking of modules.
2186 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2187 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2188
2189 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2190
2191 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2192
2193 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2194
2195 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2196 that's what it is.
2197
2198 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2199 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
2200 was false.
2201
2202 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2203
2204 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2205 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2206 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2207
2208 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2209
2210 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2211 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
2212 yet.
2213
2214 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2215
2216 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2217 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2218 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2219
2220 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2221
2222 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2223 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2224 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2225 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2226
2227 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2228 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2229 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2230 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2231 (such as the-scm-module).
2232
2233 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2234
2235 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2236 %search-load-path.
2237
2238 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
2239
2240 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2241 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2242 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2243
2244 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2245
2246 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2247 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2248 function, use it accordingly.
2249
2250 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2251
2252 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
2253 function of no arguments.
2254 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2255 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2256 set-current-module): Uses changed.
2257 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2258 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2259 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2260 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2261 *top-level-eval-closure*.
2262
2263 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2264
2265 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2266 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2267
2268 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2269
2270 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2271 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2272 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
2273 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
2274 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2275
2276 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2277 `*features*'.
2278
2279 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2280 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
2281 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2282 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2283
2284 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2285
2286 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2287
2288 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2289 If the user wants to see this, he can do
2290 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2291
2292 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2293 error.
2294
2295 Added `before-read-hook'.
2296
2297 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2298
2299 (provide): New function.
2300
2301 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2302 in backtraces.
2303
2304 (backtrace): New function.
2305
2306 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2307 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2308 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
2309 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2310 is found in operator position in a frame.
2311
2312 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2313 by default.
2314
2315 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2316 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2317 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2318
2319 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
2320
2321 (library-vicinity): Updated.
2322
2323 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2324
2325 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2326
2327 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2328
2329 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2330
2331 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2332 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
2333
2334 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2335 so they'll get distributed.
2336
2337 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
2338 should see as little clutter as possible.
2339 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2340 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2341 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2342
2343 * r4rs.scm: New file.
2344 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2345 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2346 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2347 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2348 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2349 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2350 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2351 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2352 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2353 that are not.
2354 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2355 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2356
2357 * test.scm: New file.
2358
2359 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2360 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
2361 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2362
2363 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2364 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2365
2366 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2367 work now.
2368 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2369 call %load-announce.
2370
2371 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2372
2373 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2374 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2375 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2376 components.
2377 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2378
2379 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2380
2381 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2382 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2383 SCSH (which this isn't).
2384
2385 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2386
2387 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2388
2389 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2390
2391 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2392 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2393 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2394 these.
2395 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2396 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2397 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2398 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2399 save-stack.
2400
2401 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2402
2403 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2404
2405 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2406
2407 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2408 error-catching-loop.
2409 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2410 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2411 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2412
2413 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2414 error-catching-loop.
2415
2416 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2417
2418 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2419 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2420 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2421 should be '(), not #f.
2422
2423 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2424 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2425
2426 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2427
2428 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2429 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2430 error-signal.
2431
2432 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2433
2434 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2435 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2436 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2437 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2438
2439 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2440
2441 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2442
2443 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2444
2445 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2446
2447 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2448 throw-handler-default.
2449 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2450 reported.
2451 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2452 acro.
2453 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2454 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2455
2456 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2457
2458 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2459 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2460 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2461 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2462
2463 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2464
2465 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2466 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2467 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2468 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2469 ...))
2470 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2471 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2472 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2473 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2474 file-is-directory?
2475
2476 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2477
2478 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2479
2480 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2481 distribution.
2482
2483 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2484 `switch-repl'.
2485
2486 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2487
2488 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2489
2490 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2491 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2492
2493 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2494
2495 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2496
2497 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2498
2499 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2500
2501 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2502 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2503 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2504 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2505 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2506
2507 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2508 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2509 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2510 they seem redundant.
2511 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2512 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2513 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2514 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2515 directly files starting with "/").
2516 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2517 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2518
2519 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2520
2521 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2522
2523 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2524 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2525 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2526 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2527 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2528 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2529 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2530 robust to just do it in the C code.
2531
2532 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2533
2534 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2535 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2536 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2537 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2538 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2539
2540 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2541
2542 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2543 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2544 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2545
2546 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2547
2548 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2549 system-error, not every kind of error.
2550 (scm-error): new procedure.
2551
2552 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2553
2554 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2555
2556 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2557
2558 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2559 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2560 of args are supplied.
2561 (%%system-errors): removed.
2562 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2563 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2564 %%handle-system-error.
2565 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2566 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2567 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2568 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2569
2570 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2571
2572 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2573 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2574 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2575 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2576
2577 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2578
2579 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2580 the empty list if they are #f.
2581 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2582
2583 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2584
2585 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2586
2587 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2588 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2589 aborting, just the key and subr.
2590 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2591 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2592 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2593
2594 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2595
2596 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2597 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2598 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2599 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2600 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2601
2602 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2603
2604 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2605 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2606 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2607 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2608
2609 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2610
2611 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2612 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2613 initialize %load-path.
2614
2615 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2616 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2617
2618 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2619
2620 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2621 Add the directory named after the version number.
2622 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2623 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2624 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2625 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2626 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2627 (install): Create the above directories.
2628 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2629 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2630
2631 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2632
2633 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2634 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2635 in the Makefile directly.
2636 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2637 for these.
2638 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2639 aux_files.
2640 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2641 here, where people expect to find them.
2642
2643 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2644
2645 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2646 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2647
2648 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2649
2650 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2651
2652 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2653 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2654
2655 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2656
2657 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2658 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2659
2660 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2661 weak-key-hash-table.
2662
2663 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2664
2665 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2666 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2667 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2668 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2669 (%open-file): removed.
2670 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2671 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2672
2673 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2674
2675 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2676 (manifest): Deleted.
2677 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2678 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2679
2680 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2681
2682 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2683 now that they throw errors directly.
2684 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2685 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2686
2687 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2688
2689 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2690
2691 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>

2693 * The more things change...
2694
2695
