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,

14 sans-final-newline): Use substring instead of
15 make-shared-substring.
17 2000-11-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
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
25 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
27 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
30 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
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.
41 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
43 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.

52 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): regexp-exec does not
53 accept symbol arguments any more. Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
56 2000-09-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
58 * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f. thanks to
61 2000-09-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
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.
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.
73 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

84 Convert first argument to a string.
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.)
91 * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
93 * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
95 2000-08-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
97 * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
99 2000-08-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
101 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
103 (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
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
108 (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
110 (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
113 2000-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

131 2000-08-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
133 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive. (Thanks to
136 2000-08-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
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.)
144 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
146 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
148 * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition. (Is now
149 provided by libguile/modules.c.)
151 * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
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!)

159 * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
161 * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
162 (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
164 * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
166 * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
167 (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
169 2000-08-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
171 * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
172 definition of module-type.
174 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
176 * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
178 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
180 (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
181 *after* all used interfaces has been added.
184 2000-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
186 * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to thi!
188 2000-07-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
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.
194 2000-07-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
196 * boot-9.scm (expt): Make sure that integer-expt is only called
197 if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
199 2000-07-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
201 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
204 2000-06-27 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
206 * popen.scm: gc-thunk is deprecated. Use after-gc-hook instead.
208 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
210 * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
211 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber
214 (delete-if!, delete-if-not!): Renamed parameter from `list' to
215 `l' in order to avoid confusion. Note: These functions are not
218 2000-06-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
220 * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
221 and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
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.
227 (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
229 * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
231 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
233 * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
234 module graph. (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
236 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
238 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
239 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
241 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
243 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
244 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
246 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
248 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
250 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
252 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
254 2000-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
256 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
258 (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
259 (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
261 (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
263 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
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'.
272 * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
274 * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
276 2000-06-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
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.
283 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
285 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
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
297 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
299 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
301 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
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
308 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
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).
318 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
320 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
321 accept complex numbers as parameter.
323 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
325 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
326 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
328 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
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.
337 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
339 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
341 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
343 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
345 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
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.
352 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
354 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
355 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
357 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
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.)
364 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
366 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
367 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
369 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
371 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
372 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
374 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
376 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
379 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
381 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
382 source of the numerous very short changes.
384 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
386 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
389 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
392 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
394 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
397 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
399 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
400 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
402 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
404 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
407 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
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.
413 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
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.
420 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
422 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
423 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
426 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
427 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
429 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
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.
434 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
436 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
437 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
438 use define-public to export from the module.
440 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
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!
446 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
448 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
450 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
452 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
453 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
455 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
457 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
459 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
461 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
463 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
465 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
466 long_long uniform vectors.
468 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
470 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
471 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
473 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
475 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
476 script to create generated files like this one.
478 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
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
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
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.
493 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
494 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
496 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
498 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
500 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
503 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
504 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.

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.
519 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
521 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
522 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg

527 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
528 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
530 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
532 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
534 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
536 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
537 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
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
543 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
546 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
548 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
549 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
551 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
553 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
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.
560 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
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.
570 Use readline conditionally.
572 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

575 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
576 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
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
582 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
584 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
586 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
588 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
590 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
592 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
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.
609 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
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.)
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
621 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
623 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
625 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
627 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
629 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
630 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
632 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
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 '#/'.
640 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
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
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.
654 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
656 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
659 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
661 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
662 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
663 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
665 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
668 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
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.
677 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
680 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
682 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
683 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
685 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
687 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
688 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
691 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
693 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
694 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
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
703 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
705 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
706 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
708 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
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.
715 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
717 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
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
724 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
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.
738 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
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.
746 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
748 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
749 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
751 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
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.
757 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
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.
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.
767 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
768 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
770 * popen.scm: new file.
772 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
774 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
775 (reverse-iota): removed.
777 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
779 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
780 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
782 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
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).
790 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
792 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
794 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
795 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
797 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
798 Guile's module system.
800 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
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
809 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
810 '() when the condition is false.
812 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
814 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
816 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
818 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
820 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
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.
826 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
828 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
829 argument order for hash-fold.
831 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
833 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
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).
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).
845 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
847 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
848 module between system and user state.
850 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
852 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
854 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
857 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
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.
863 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
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.
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
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
883 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
884 define-module switches:
889 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
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.
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!)
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.)
910 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
912 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
913 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
915 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
916 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
917 closure to the module.
919 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
921 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
923 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
925 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
927 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
929 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
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.
937 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
939 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
941 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
942 of the '() key, not `rest'.
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.
949 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
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.
955 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
957 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
958 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
959 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
961 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
963 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
964 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
967 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
969 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
971 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
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.
977 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
979 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
981 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
982 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
984 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
986 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
988 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
990 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
992 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
994 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
995 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
997 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
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.
1007 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1009 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1010 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1012 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
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
1018 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1020 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1022 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1024 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1026 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
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.
1032 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
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
1038 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1039 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
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.
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.
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'.
1060 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1062 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
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.
1069 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
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?'.
1075 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
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.
1081 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1083 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1086 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1088 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1089 readline-set!: New options interface.
1091 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1093 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1095 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1096 at the end of boot-9.scm.
1098 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1100 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1101 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1103 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
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.
1109 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1110 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1112 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1114 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1116 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1118 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1119 read line was empty.
1121 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1123 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1124 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1126 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1128 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1130 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1131 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1132 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
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)
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.
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
1148 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1150 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1151 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1153 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1155 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1156 and short vectors #h(...).
1158 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
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.)
1164 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
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.
1170 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1172 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1173 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
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!)
1180 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1182 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
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.
1190 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1192 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1194 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1196 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
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.
1204 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1206 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1207 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1209 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1211 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1213 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1215 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1217 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1219 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1221 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1223 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1224 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1226 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
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
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.)
1238 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
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.)
1248 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1250 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1252 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
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.
1261 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
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
1268 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1270 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1272 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1274 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1276 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1278 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1281 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1283 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1285 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1287 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1288 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1290 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
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
1297 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1298 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1300 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1302 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1304 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1306 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1307 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1310 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1311 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
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'.)
1317 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1319 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1321 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1323 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1324 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1326 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1328 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1330 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1332 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
1333 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1335 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1337 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
1340 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1342 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1343 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1345 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1347 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1349 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1351 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
1354 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
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
1363 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
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'.
1369 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1371 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1373 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1374 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1376 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
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
1387 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1389 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1392 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
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.
1401 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1403 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1404 usefully so they will work from a script.
1406 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1408 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1409 neighborhood of the record code.
1411 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
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.
1418 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1420 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1421 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1422 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1424 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
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
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.
1436 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1438 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1440 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1441 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1443 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1445 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1446 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1447 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1449 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
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.
1456 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1458 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1459 print-state, throw it away.
1461 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1463 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1466 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
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
1473 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1474 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1476 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1478 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1480 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
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
1488 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1489 distribution and installation.
1490 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1492 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1494 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1496 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
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).
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
1506 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1508 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1510 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
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.
1519 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1521 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1523 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1525 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1529 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1531 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1533 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
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
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
1549 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1551 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
1553 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1555 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1556 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1558 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1560 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
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.
1567 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1569 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1570 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
1571 (let): New core form.
1572 (if): Removed from core language.
1573 (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
1574 (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
1575 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
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
1581 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1582 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1585 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1587 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1588 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1590 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1592 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
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
1597 `scm:eval-transformer'.
1598 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1599 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1601 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1603 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1605 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
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.
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
1617 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1618 the syncase interface.
1620 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
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).
1626 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1628 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1629 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1632 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1634 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1635 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1636 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1638 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
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
1645 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1646 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1647 (new-interpreter): New function.
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).
1653 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1655 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1657 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1659 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
1661 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1663 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New

1667 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1669 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1670 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
1673 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1675 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1676 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

1688 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1690 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1691 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1693 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1695 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1696 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1698 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1699 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1701 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1703 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1705 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling

1713 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1715 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1717 * session.scm: New file: Session support.

1720 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1722 * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
1725 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
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).
1731 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1732 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
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.
1739 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1741 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
1742 (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
1744 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1746 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1748 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1750 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1751 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1753 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
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.
1759 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1761 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1764 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1766 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1767 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1768 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1769 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1770 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1772 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1774 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1775 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1778 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1780 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1782 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1783 poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1784 notation, instead of #/ notation.
1786 * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
1789 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
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.)
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.)
1803 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
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.
1816 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1818 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1820 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1822 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1823 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
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
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
1837 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1838 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1840 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1843 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1846 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1851 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1853 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1854 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1856 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
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".
1867 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1869 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1871 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
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.
1878 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
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.
1886 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1888 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1889 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1892 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1894 * regex.scm: New file.
1895 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1896 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1898 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
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.
1905 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1907 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1910 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
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.
1916 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
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
1922 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1924 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1926 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1928 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1930 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1932 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1933 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1936 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
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.
1942 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1944 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1945 the Scheme code like code yet.
1946 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1948 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
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.
1954 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1956 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1958 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1961 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1963 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1965 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1967 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
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.
1973 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1975 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1976 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1977 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1979 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1981 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1982 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1984 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1986 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1989 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1991 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1993 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1995 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1996 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1998 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
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.
2005 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2007 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2009 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2010 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2012 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2014 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2015 sockaddr:port): new functions.
2017 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
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.)
2024 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2026 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2027 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2029 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2031 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2033 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2035 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2036 keywords and symbols.
2038 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2040 * slib.scm: update read usage.
2042 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2043 Don't define read-sharp.
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.
2050 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2052 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2054 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
2055 primitive procedure.)
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.
2060 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2062 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2064 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2066 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2068 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2070 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2072 * (exit): alias for quit.
2074 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
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.
2082 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2084 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2086 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2088 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2089 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2091 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2092 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
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
2098 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2100 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2102 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2103 (add-hooks!): New macro.
2104 Change hooks to use these functions.
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
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
2119 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2120 and exit-frame exceptions.
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>.)
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.
2134 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
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.)
2143 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2145 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2146 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2148 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2150 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2151 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
2153 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2155 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2157 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2159 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2162 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2164 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2165 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2167 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2169 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
2172 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2174 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2175 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2177 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2179 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
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.
2189 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2191 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2193 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2195 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2198 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2199 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
2202 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
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.
2208 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2210 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2211 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
2214 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
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!.
2220 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
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.
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).
2233 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2235 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2238 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
2240 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2241 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2242 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2244 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
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.
2250 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
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*.
2263 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2265 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2266 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2268 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
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.
2276 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
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'.
2284 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2286 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
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.
2292 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2295 Added `before-read-hook'.
2297 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2299 (provide): New function.
2301 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2304 (backtrace): New function.
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.
2312 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
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.)
2319 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
2321 (library-vicinity): Updated.
2323 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2325 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2327 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2329 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2331 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2332 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
2334 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2335 so they'll get distributed.
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.
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
2354 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2355 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2357 * test.scm: New file.
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.
2363 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2364 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2366 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2368 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2369 call %load-announce.
2371 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
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
2377 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2379 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
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).
2385 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2387 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2389 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
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
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
2401 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2403 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2405 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
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.
2413 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2414 error-catching-loop.
2416 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
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.
2423 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2424 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2426 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
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
2432 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
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.
2439 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2441 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2443 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2445 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2447 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2448 throw-handler-default.
2449 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2451 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2453 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2454 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2456 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
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.
2463 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
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
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
2476 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2478 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2480 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2483 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2486 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2488 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2490 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2491 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2493 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2495 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2497 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2499 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
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.
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.
2519 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2521 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
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.
2532 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
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.
2540 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
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).
2546 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2548 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2549 system-error, not every kind of error.
2550 (scm-error): new procedure.
2552 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2554 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2556 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
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.
2570 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
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").
2577 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
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.
2583 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2585 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
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.
2594 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
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.
2602 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
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.
2609 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
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.
2615 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2616 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2618 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
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.
2631 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
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
2638 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2640 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2641 here, where people expect to find them.
2643 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2645 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2646 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2648 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2650 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2652 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
