  14         (module-use!, module-use-interfaces!): Remove existing interfaces
  15         on the use-list based on module name rather than interface

  17         version.

  46
  47         * boot-9.scm (make-module): Changed default size from 1021 to 31
  48         (since the size now adapts).

  59
  60 2003-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
  61
  62         * boot-9.scm (make-hash-table): Turned primitive.
  63
  64 2003-01-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
  65
  66         * syncase.scm (guile-macro): Strip syntactic information from
  67         expression before trying to treat it as a Guile macro call.
  68         (Thanks to Kevin Ryde.)
  69
  70 2003-01-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
  71
  72         * threads.scm (parallel, letpar): Rewritten.
  73
  74 2003-01-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

  78
  79 2003-01-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
  80
  81         * occam-channel.scm (alt): New syntax.
  82
  83         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Removed.  Guile now provides this
  84         operator as a primitive procedure.
  85         (build-data): Quote vectors (psyntax.ss requires this).
  86
  87 2003-01-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
  88
  89         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Allow procedures implanted in
  90         source.  (Guile uses this internally.)
  91
  92 2003-01-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
  93
  94         * psyntax.ss (build-data): Don't quote self-evaluating expressions
  95         in output.  (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be
  96         quoted, but until Guile's native macros and syncase cooperates
  97         better, it is less destructive not to quote.)
  98         (self-evaluating?): Removed null? (In Guile, the empty list is not
  99         self-evaluating).
 100         (sc-chi): Export chi as sc-chi.
 101         (external-macro): New syntax type.
 102
 103         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 104
 105         * compile-psyntax.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure.
 106
 107         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Return *unspecified*.
 108
 109         * syncase.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure to
 110         the-syncase-eval-closure during booting so that variables are
 111         created in the correct module.
 112         (syncase): Set expansion-eval-closure.
 113         (define-syntax define-syntax-public eval-when fluid-let-syntax
 114         identifier-syntax let-syntax letrec-syntax syntax syntax-case
 115         syntax-rules with-syntax include): Removed definitions (these are
 116         created from within psyntax.pp).
 117         Enable expansion of Guile macros during a syntax-case
 118         transformation.
 119
 120 2003-01-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 121
 122         * occam-channel.scm (make-channel): Renamed from channel.
 123         (make-timer): New function.
 124
 125         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added occam-channel.scm.
 126
 127         * occam-channel.scm: New file.  Implements occam-like channels.
 128
 129 2002-12-28  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 130
 131         * boot-9.scm (module-defined-hook): New hook, run whenever a new
 132         module is defined.
 133         (process-define-module): Run this hook.
 134
 135 2002-12-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
 136
 137         * threads.scm: Removed bogus definition of future-ref.
 138
 139 2002-12-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 140
 141         * threads.scm (par-map, par-for-each): Reimplemented using
 142         joing-thread.
 143         (parallel): Reimplemented using futures.
 144         (n-par-map, n-for-each): New procedures.
 145
 146 2002-12-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 147
 148         * optargs.scm (improper-list-copy): New.
 149         (parse-arglist): Use it instead of list-copy.
 150
 151 2002-12-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 152

 158         GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.

 170         * documentation.scm (object-documentation): Added support for

 179
 180         Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
 181         following changes:
 182
 183         * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
 184
 185         (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
 186         %system-define.
 187
 188         * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
 189         until Guile supports hygienic macros.
 190
 191 2002-11-17  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 192
 193         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
 194         has been removed from the core.
 195
 196 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 197
 198         * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
 199         identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
 200         syntax-rules, with-syntax, include):  Changed definitions to form
 201         'real' macro definitions.
 202
 203 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 204
 205         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 206         Fixed my previous fix (blush).
 207
 208 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 209
 210         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 211         Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
 212
 213 2002-11-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 214
 215         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition
 216         needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.
 217
 218 2002-11-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 219
 220         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"

 224         recording when module is loaded.
 225         (##): Cope with ports whose `filename' is not a string.
 226

 230         code.
 231
 232         * debugger/command-loop.scm (read-and-dispatch-command): Import
 233         set-readline-prompt dynamically if we need to.  (Previous
 234         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
 235         readline).)
 236
 237 2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 238
 239         * format.scm (format): Wrap a monitor around format:format since
 240         it is not thread-safe.

 243
 244         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'.  This

 253         - see comment in file for more details.

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

 272         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
 273         execution from a breakpoint.
 274

 276         debugger/breakpoints/procedural.scm,
 277         debugger/breakpoints/range.scm, debugger/breakpoints/source.scm,
 278         debugger/trap-hooks.scm, debugger/trc.scm: New files - breakpoint

 286
 287         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Do not call unmask-signals, that

 290 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 291
 292         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in

 294         the-root-module.
 295
 296 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 297
 298         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
 299         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and

 301         unmask-signals.
 302
 303 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 304
 305         * buffered-input.scm (make-buffered-input-port): Build an

 307
 308 2002-10-04  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 309
 310         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
 311         >= 0.
 312
 313 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 314
 315         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to

 403         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
 404         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
 405
 406         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.
 407
 408 2002-02-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@giblet.glug.org>
 409
 410         * regex.scm: Add commentary; nfc.
 411
 412 2002-02-05  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@giblet.glug.org>
 413
 414         * Makefile.am: Include $(top_srcdir)/pre-inst-guile.am.
 415
 416         (psyntax.pp): Use $(preinstguile).
 417
 418 2002-01-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 419
 420         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
 421         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
 422         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
 423         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
 424
 425 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 426
 427         More options for pretty-print.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 428
 429         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
 430         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
 431         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
 432
 433 2001-11-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 434
 435         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have
 436         these in the core.
 437
 438 2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 439
 440         * boot-9.scm (turn-on-debugging): New function, to be used by
 441         scm_compile_shell_switches.
 442
 443         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
 444         positions.
 445
 446 2001-10-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 447
 448         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 449         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 450         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 451
 452         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,
 453           channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,

 457           safe.scm, session.scm, slib.scm, streams.scm, string-fun.scm,
 458           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
 459           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 460           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 461           exporting bindings.
 462
 463 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 464
 465         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
 466         :re-export-syntax
 467
 468 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 469
 470         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 471         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 472         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 473         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 474
 475 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 476
 477         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
 478         %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,
 479         %%apropos-internal): Use module-define! instead of
 480         builtin-variable.
 481
 482 2001-09-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 483
 484         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.
 485
 486 2001-09-19  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>
 487
 488         * expect.scm: Commentary fix; nfc.
 489
 490         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
 491
 492 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 493
 494         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 495         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
 496
 497 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 498
 499         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 500         the `arglist' procedure property.
 501         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 502         present a more detailed argument list.
 503
 504         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 505
 506 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 507
 508         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
 509         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel
 510         Skarda.
 511
 512 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 513
 514         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
 515
 516         (feature?): Deprecated.

 526
 527         (module-make-local-var!, module-ensure-local-variable!,

 529
 530         (try-load-module, use-syntax, module-export!): Remove deprecated
 531         functionality.
 532
 533         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
 534         needed to trick export.
 535
 536 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 537
 538         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.
 539
 540 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 541
 542         * and-let-star-compat.scm:  Deleted.
 543
 544         * Makefile.am: Remove references to and-let-star-compat.scm.
 545
 546 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 547
 548         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
 549         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
 550         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
 551
 552 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 553
 554         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
 555         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
 556
 557 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 558
 559         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

 561 2001-08-12  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 562
 563         * getopt-long.scm: Rewrite.
 564         Touch up docstrings.
 565         Augment commentary.
 566
 567 2001-08-02  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 568
 569         * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
 570         last-command fluid is not yet set.
 571
 572 2001-08-02  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 573
 574         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
 575
 576         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
 577         value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
 578         next element is to be taken as the option arg.
 579
 580 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
 581
 582         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
 583         handle :use-syntax correctly.
 584
 585 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 586
 587         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
 588         compile-psyntax.scm.
 589
 590 2001-07-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 591
 592         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
 593         maintainer mode.  Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
 594         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
 595         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
 596         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
 597
 598 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 599
 600         * and-let-star.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm, history.scm,
 601         lineio.scm, null.scm, optargs.scm, r4rs.scm, r5rs.scm,
 602         receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
 603
 604 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 605
 606         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 607         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
 608
 609 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 610
 611         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
 612         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
 613         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
 614         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
 615
 616         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 617         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
 618         since there aren't definitions for them.
 619
 620         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
 621         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
 622
 623 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 624
 625         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
 626         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
 627
 628 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 629
 630         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
 631         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
 632
 633 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 634
 635         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
 636         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
 637         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
 638
 639 2001-06-30  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 640
 641         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
 642
 643         * tags.scm: Removed file.
 644
 645 2001-06-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 646
 647         Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
 648         is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
 649
 650         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
 651         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
 652         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
 653         New.
 654
 655 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 656
 657         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
 658         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
 659
 660 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 661
 662         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
 663         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
 664
 665         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
 666         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
 667         evaluator trap options.)
 668
 669 2001-06-25  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 670
 671         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.
 672
 673 2001-06-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 674
 675         * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax): New.
 676

 678
 679         * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
 680
 681 2001-06-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 682
 683         * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
 684         `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
 685
 686 2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 687
 688         * match.scm:
 689         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
 690         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
 691         No longer require `pretty-print'.
 692
 693         (slib:error): Delete.
 694         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
 695
 696         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
 697
 698         * README: New file.
 699
 700         * common-list.scm:
 701         Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
 702         Add Commentary.
 703         Update copyright.
 704
 705 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 706
 707         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
 708         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
 709         rdelim) module.  See below.
 710
 711 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 712
 713         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
 714         include-deprecated-features is true.
 715
 716 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 717
 718         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
 719         unknown objects.
 720
 721         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
 722         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
 723         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 724
 725         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
 726         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
 727         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
 728         Köppe!
 729
 730 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 731
 732         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
 733         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
 734         variable, not just a visible one.
 735         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
 736         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
 737         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
 738         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
 739         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
 740         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
 741         variables.
 742         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
 743
 744         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
 745         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
 746
 747 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 748
 749         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
 750         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
 751
 752 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 753
 754         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
 755
 756 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 757
 758         Added exception notice to all files.
 759
 760         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
 761         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
 762         importing bindings once in a while.
 763
 764 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 765
 766         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
 767         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
 768         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 769         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
 770         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,

 772         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 773         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
 774         message.
 775         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
 776         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
 777
 778 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 779
 780         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
 781         fix command so that it works.
 782
 783         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
 784         to access unbound variables.
 785
 786         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
 787         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
 788         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
 789         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
 790         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.

1167         make-buffered-input-port.

1188

1213
1214         * boot-9.scm (save-stack): Use `primitive-eval' for stack

1217         frame is invoked.
1218
1219 2001-02-25  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1220
1221         * match.scm: New file, including Andrew K. Wright's pattern matcher.

1244         (named-module-use!): New function.
1245         (top-repl): Do not use `define-module'.  Use equivalent low-level
1246         means instead.

1260
1261         Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
1262         operating systems.

1270         "and-let*.scm", ignoring errors.

1272
1273 2001-01-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1274
1275         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
1276         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
1277
1278         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
1279         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
1280
1281         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
1282         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
1283
1284 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1285
1286         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
1287         in C for now.
1288         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
1289         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
1290
1291 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1292
1293         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
1294         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
1295         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
1296         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
1297         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
1298         for now.
1299         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).

1301
1302 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1303
1304         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1305         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1306         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1307         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1308         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1309         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1310         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
1311
1312 2000-12-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1313
1314         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only
1315         half the job.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
1316
1317 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1318
1319         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
1320         any more.
1321
1322 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1323
1324         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
1325         the-root-module.
1326

1330
1331 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1332
1333         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
1334         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
1335         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
1336         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,

1343         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
1344         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
1345         make-shared-substring.
1346
1347 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1348
1349         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1350         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1351         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1352         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1353         scm-style-repl.
1354
1355 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

1358         and open-output-pipe.
1359
1360 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1361
1362         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1363         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1364         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1365         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1366         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1367         Pirotte for the bug report).
1368         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1369         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

1381
1382         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
1383         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
1384         patch.
1385
1386 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

1390
1391 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1392
1393         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1394         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1395         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1396
1397         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1398         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1399         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1400         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1401         actual documentation entries themselves.

1415
1416         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,

1430
1431         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
1432         `symbol-append'.
1433         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1434         args.
1435         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1436         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1437         even worked...  /mdj.
1438         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1439         `symbol->string'.
1440         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1441         semantics.

1468         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1469         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1470         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1471         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.

1479         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1480
1481         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1482         syntactic bindings.

1485         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.

1498
1499 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1500

1520         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
1521         Mikael for the suggestion.
1522
1523 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1524
1525         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1526         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1527
1528 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1529
1530         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1531         for export args.
1532
1533 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1534
1535         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
1536
1537 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1538
1539         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1540         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
1541         for the hint.
1542
1543         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
1544         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
1545         tail recursive yet.
1546
1547 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1548
1549         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1550         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1551
1552         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1553         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1554         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1555         See NEWS.
1556         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1557
1558         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1559
1560 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1561
1562         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1563         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1564
1565 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1566
1567         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1568         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1569
1570 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1571
1572         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
1573         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1574
1575 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1576
1577         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1578
1579         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1580
1581         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1582
1583 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1584
1585         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1586         '() instead of #f.
1587         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1588         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1589         `the-root-module'.
1590         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1591
1592         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1593         documentation.scm.
1594
1595         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1596         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1597         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1598         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1599         (help): Rewritten.
1600
1601         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1602
1603         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1604
1605 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1606
1607         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1608         (write-all): Removed.
1609         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
1610         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
1611
1612 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
1613
1614         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1615         `proc-documentation'
1616
1617         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
1618         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1619         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1620         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1621         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1622         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1623         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1624         getter...)
1625
1626 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1627
1628         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
1629
1630 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1631
1632         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1633         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
1634         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1635         closure.
1636
1637 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1638
1639         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
1640         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1641         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
1642         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
1643         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1644         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1645         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1646
1647 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1648
1649         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
1650         accept complex numbers as parameter.
1651
1652 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1653
1654         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1655         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
1656
1657 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1658
1659         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1660         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1661         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1662         instead of remove-if when iterating.
1663         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1664         delete-if! when iterating.
1665
1666 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1667
1668         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1669
1670 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1671
1672         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
1673
1674 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1675
1676         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1677         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
1678         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1679         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1680
1681 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1682
1683         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
1684         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1685
1686 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1687
1688         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
1689         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1690         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
1691         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
1692
1693 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1694
1695         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1696         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1697
1698 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1699
1700         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1701         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1702
1703 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1704
1705         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1706         Dirk Hermann!
1707
1708 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1709
1710         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1711         source of the numerous very short changes.
1712
1713 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1714
1715         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1716         public.
1717
1718         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1719         info pages.
1720
1721 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1722
1723         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1724         from slib docs.
1725
1726 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1727
1728         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1729         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1730
1731 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1732
1733         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1734         to string-append.
1735
1736 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1737
1738         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1739         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
1740         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1741
1742 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1743
1744         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1745         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1746         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
1747         Narazaki for this change.
1748
1749 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1750
1751         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1752         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1753         %S.
1754
1755         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1756         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1757
1758 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1759
1760         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1761         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1762
1763 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1764
1765         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1766         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1767         use define-public to export from the module.
1768
1769 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1770
1771         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1772         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1773         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1774
1775 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1776
1777         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1778
1779 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1780
1781         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1782         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1783
1784 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1785
1786         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.

1790         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1791
1792 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1793
1794         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1795         long_long uniform vectors.
1796
1797 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1798
1799         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1800         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
1801
1802 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1803
1804         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
1805         script to create generated files like this one.
1806
1807 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1808
1809         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1810         available before using getpw and getuid.
1811         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1812         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1813         check for stat.
1814         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1815         check for .guile, instead of stat.
1816         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1817         available.
1818         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
1819         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1820         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1821
1822         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
1823         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1824
1825         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1826
1827 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1828
1829         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
1830         than 'exit-debugger.
1831
1832         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1833         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1834

1840         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1841         ("position"): New command.
1842         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1843         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
1844         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected

1846         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
1847
1848 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1849
1850         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1851         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
1852         Badros.)
1853
1854 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1855
1856         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1857         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1858
1859 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1860
1861         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

1870         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
1871         expression.
1872         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
1873         Handle errors.
1874
1875 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1876
1877         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1878         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1879
1880         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1881
1882 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1883
1884         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1885         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1886         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1887         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1888
1889         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1890         argument.
1891
1892         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1893         both forward and backward views of the stack
1894         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1895         Use selector `frame-number';
1896         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1897         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1898         Use (ice-9 debug).
1899         Use readline conditionally.
1900
1901 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1902
1903         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1904         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1905         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1906
1907         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1908         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
1909         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
1910
1911 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1912
1913         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1914
1915         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1916
1917         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1918
1919         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1920
1921 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1922
1923         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1924         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
1925         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
1926         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1927         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1928         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1929         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1930         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1931         libguile-config-stamp.
1932         * version.scm.in: Delete.
1933         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1934         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1935         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1936         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1937
1938 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1939
1940         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1941         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1942         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1943
1944         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1945         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1946         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1947         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
1948         readline.
1949
1950         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1951
1952 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1953
1954         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1955
1956 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1957
1958         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1959         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1960
1961 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1962
1963         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1964         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1965         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1966         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1967         objects starting with '#/'.
1968
1969 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1970
1971         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1972         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1973         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1974         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1975         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1976         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1977         `observer-id'.
1978         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1979         module-modified): New procedures.
1980         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1981         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1982
1983 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1984
1985         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1986         defines.
1987
1988 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1989
1990         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1991         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1992         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1993
1994         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1995         position.
1996
1997 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1998
1999         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
2000         at multiple calls to read.
2001         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
2002         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
2003         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
2004         continued-lines prompt.
2005
2006         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
2007         reading expressions.
2008
2009 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2010
2011         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
2012         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2013
2014 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2015
2016         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
2017         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
2018         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2019
2020         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2021
2022         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
2023         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
2024
2025         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
2026         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
2027         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
2028         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
2029         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
2030         instead of a port.
2031
2032 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2033
2034         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
2035         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2036
2037         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
2038
2039         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
2040         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
2041         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
2042         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
2043
2044         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
2045
2046         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2047
2048         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
2049         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
2050         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
2051         an alist.
2052
2053         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2054
2055         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
2056         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
2057         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
2058         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
2059         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
2060         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2061         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
2062         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
2063         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
2064         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2065         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
2066
2067         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2068
2069         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
2070         peeked from the stream.
2071         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
2072         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
2073         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
2074
2075         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2076
2077         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
2078         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
2079
2080         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2081
2082         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2083         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
2084         exiting repl with single control-D.
2085
2086         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2087
2088         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2089         error catching loop after quit received.
2090         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2091
2092         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2093         primitive exit if non-interactive.
2094         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2095
2096         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2097         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2098         boot-9.scm.
2099         * popen.scm: new file.
2100
2101 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2102
2103        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
2104        (reverse-iota):  removed.
2105
2106 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2107
2108         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
2109         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
2110
2111 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2112
2113         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2114         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2115         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2116         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2117         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2118
2119 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2120
2121         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2122
2123         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2124         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2125
2126         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2127         Guile's module system.
2128
2129         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2130         changes:
2131         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2132         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2133         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2134         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
2135         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2136         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2137         modern CL behavior.
2138         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2139         '() when the condition is false.
2140
2141 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2142
2143         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2144
2145 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2146
2147         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2148
2149 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2150
2151         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2152         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2153         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2154
2155 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2156
2157         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2158         argument order for hash-fold.
2159
2160 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2161
2162         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
2163         resolve-module.
2164         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2165         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2166
2167         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2168         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2169         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2170         has been added to the load path).
2171
2172         Use try-load-module.
2173
2174 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2175
2176         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
2177         module between system and user state.
2178
2179 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2180
2181         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2182
2183         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2184         definition.
2185
2186 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2187
2188         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2189         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2190         system can create a wrapper class for it.
2191
2192 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2193
2194         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2195         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
2196         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2197         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2198         stack frame encountered.
2199
2200         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2201         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2202         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2203         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2204         list).]
2205
2206         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2207         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2208         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2209         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2210         please tell me!]
2211
2212         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2213         define-module switches:
2214
2215         (define-module (foo)
2216           :no-backtrace)
2217
2218         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2219         modules.
2220
2221         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2222         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2223         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2224         module it is a system frame.
2225
2226         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2227         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2228         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2229         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2230         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2231
2232         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2233         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
2234         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2235         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2236         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
2237         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2238
2239         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2240         status of a module.;
2241         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2242         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2243
2244         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2245         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2246         closure to the module.
2247
2248         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2249
2250 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2251
2252         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
2253
2254 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2255
2256         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
2257
2258 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2259
2260         Fix from Russ McManus:
2261         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2262         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2263         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2264         either an optional or required value.
2265
2266 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2267
2268         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2269
2270         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2271         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2272
2273         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2274         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2275         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2276         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2277
2278 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2279
2280         * optargs.scm: New file.
2281         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2282         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2283
2284 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2285
2286         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2287         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2288         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2289
2290 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2291
2292         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2293         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2294         for isn't loaded.
2295
2296 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2297
2298         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2299
2300 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2301
2302         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2303         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2304         applied to the module itself.
2305
2306 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2307
2308         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2309
2310         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2311         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2312
2313 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2314
2315         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2316
2317 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2318
2319         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2320
2321 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2322
2323         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2324         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2325
2326 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2327
2328         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2329         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2330         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2331         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2332         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2333         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2334         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2335
2336 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2337
2338         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2339         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2340
2341 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2342
2343         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2344         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2345         static libraries.
2346
2347 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2348
2349         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2350
2351 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2352
2353         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2354
2355 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2356
2357         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2358         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2359         adapt to the new hooks.
2360
2361 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2362
2363         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2364         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2365         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2366         code.
2367         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2368         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2369
2370         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2371         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2372         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2373         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2374         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2375         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2376         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2377         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2378         first to register linked modules.
2379
2380         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2381         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2382         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2383
2384         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2385         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2386         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2387         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2388
2389         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2390         to use from C:
2391         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2392         libguile/feature.c.
2393
2394         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2395         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2396         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2397
2398 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2399
2400         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2401         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2402         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2403
2404 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2405
2406         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2407         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2408         result of the last form.
2409
2410 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2411
2412         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2413         syncase.scm.
2414
2415         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2416
2417         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2418         readline-set!: New options interface.
2419
2420         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2421
2422 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2423
2424         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2425         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2426
2427 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2428
2429         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2430         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2431
2432 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2433
2434         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2435         interactive session.
2436         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2437
2438         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2439         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2440
2441 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2442
2443         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2444
2445 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2446
2447         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2448         read line was empty.
2449
2450 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2451
2452         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2453         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2454
2455         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2456
2457         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2458         problem.  Duh.
2459         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2460         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2461         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2462
2463         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2464         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2465         into...
2466         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2467         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2468         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2469
2470         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2471         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2472         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2473         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2474         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2475         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2476         psyntax.ss.
2477         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2478
2479         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2480         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2481
2482 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2483
2484         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2485         and short vectors #h(...).
2486
2487 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2488
2489         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2490         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2491         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2492
2493 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2494
2495         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2496         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2497         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2498
2499 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2500
2501         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2502         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2503
2504         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2505         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2506         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2507         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2508
2509 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2510
2511         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2512         trace flag.
2513
2514         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2515         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2516         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2517         context with traps enabled.
2518
2519 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2520
2521         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2522         module.
2523         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2524
2525 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2526
2527         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2528         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2529         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2530         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2531         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2532
2533 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2534
2535         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2536         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2537
2538 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2539
2540         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2541
2542 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2543
2544         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2545
2546 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2547
2548         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2549
2550 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2551
2552         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2553         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2554
2555 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2556
2557         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2558         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2559         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2560         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
2561         Archibald.)
2562
2563         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2564         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2565         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2566
2567 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2568
2569         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2570         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2571         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2572         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
2573         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2574         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2575         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2576
2577 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2578
2579         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2580
2581 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2582
2583         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2584         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2585         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
2586         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2587         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2588         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.

2590 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2591
2592         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2593         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2594         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
2595         Steven G. Johnson.)
2596
2597 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2598
2599         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2600
2601 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2602
2603         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2604
2605 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2606
2607         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2608         be completed.
2609
2610 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2611
2612         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2613
2614 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2615
2616         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2617         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2618
2619 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2620
2621         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2622         similar in use to `use-modules'.
2623         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2624         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2625         transformer.
2626         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2627         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2628
2629 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2630
2631         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2632
2633 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2634
2635         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2636         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2637         completion.
2638
2639         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2640         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2641
2642         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2643         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2644         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2645
2646         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2647
2648 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2649
2650         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2651
2652         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2653         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2654
2655 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2656
2657         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2658
2659 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2660
2661         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
2662         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2663
2664         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2665
2666         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
2667         obsolete.
2668
2669 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2670
2671         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2672         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2673
2674 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2675
2676         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2677
2678 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2679
2680         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
2681         Stachowiak.)
2682
2683 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2684
2685         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2686         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
2687         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2688         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2689         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2690         threads.
2691
2692 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2693
2694         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2695         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2696         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2697
2698 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2699
2700         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2701
2702         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2703         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2704
2705 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2706
2707         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2708         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2709         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2710         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2711         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
2712         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2713         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2714         to go here.
2715
2716 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2717
2718         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2719         is now a fluid.
2720
2721 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2722
2723         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2724         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2725         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
2726         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
2727         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2728         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2729
2730 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2731
2732         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2733         usefully so they will work from a script.
2734
2735 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2736
2737         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2738         neighborhood of the record code.
2739
2740 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2741
2742         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
2743         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2744         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2745         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2746
2747 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2748
2749         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2750         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2751         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2752
2753 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2754
2755         Add support for readline function.
2756         * readline.scm: New module.
2757         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2758         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2759         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2760         anything.
2761         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2762         repl-reader to use them.
2763         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2764
2765         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2766
2767 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2768
2769         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2770         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2771
2772 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2773
2774         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2775         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2776         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2777
2778 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2779
2780         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
2781         #f, abort terminates the process.
2782         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2783         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
2784
2785 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2786
2787         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2788         print-state, throw it away.
2789
2790 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2791
2792         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2793         `0'.
2794
2795 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2796
2797         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2798         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2799         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2800         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2801         user field).
2802         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2803         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2804
2805 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2806
2807         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2808
2809 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2810
2811         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2812         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2813         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2814         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2815         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2816         boot-9.scm.
2817         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2818         distribution and installation.
2819         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2820
2821 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2822
2823         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
2824
2825 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2826
2827         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2828         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
2829         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2830
2831         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2832         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2833         symbol.
2834
2835 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2836
2837         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
2838
2839         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
2840
2841 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2842
2843         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2844         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2845         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2846         field a separate argument.
2847
2848         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2849
2850 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2851
2852         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2853
2854         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
2855         vicinity;
2856         Provide defmacro.
2857
2858 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2859
2860         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
2861
2862 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2863
2864         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2865         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2866         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2867         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2868         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
2869         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2870         registered.
2871         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2872         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2873         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2874         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2875         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2876         link a .so-file.
2877
2878 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2879
2880         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
2881
2882 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2883
2884         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
2885         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
2886
2887 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2888
2889         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2890
2891         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2892         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2893         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
2894         expansion inside the slib module.
2895
2896         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
2897         constructors.
2898         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
2899         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
2900         (let): New core form.
2901         (if): Removed from core language.
2902         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
2903         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
2904         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2905
2906         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2907         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2908         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2909         source.
2910         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2911         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2912         been loaded.
2913
2914 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
2915
2916         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
2917         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
2918         `use-syntax'.
2919         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
2920
2921         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
2922         (make-module): Modified initialization.
2923         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
2924         mutator for module-associated transformer.
2925         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
2926         `scm:eval-transformer'.
2927         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
2928         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
2929         module.
2930         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
2931
2932 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2933
2934         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2935
2936         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2937         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2938         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2939         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2940         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2941
2942         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2943         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2944         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2945         syncase macros.
2946         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2947         the syncase interface.
2948
2949 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2950
2951         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2952         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2953         workings of the current module system).
2954
2955 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2956
2957         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2958         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
2959         off!
2960
2961 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2962
2963         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
2964         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
2965         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
2966
2967 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2968
2969         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2970         according to the following priorities:
2971         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2972         2. bindings from the-scm-module
2973         3. tcl bindings
2974         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2975         disabling the scheme interpreter.
2976         (new-interpreter): New function.
2977
2978         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2979         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2980         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
2981
2982 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2983
2984         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2985
2986 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2987
2988         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
2989
2990 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2991
2992         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
2993         procedures.
2994         (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
2995
2996 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2997
2998         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2999         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
3000         source!
3001
3002 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3003
3004         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
3005         (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
3006         (apropos-internal): New function.  Return list of accessible
3007         symbols matching regexp.
3008
3009         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
3010         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
3011         in stack-ref).
3012
3013         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
3014         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
3015         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
3016         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
3017         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
3018         result protocol;
3019         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
3020         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
3021
3022 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3023
3024         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
3025         (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
3026
3027         * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
3028         procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
3029
3030         * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
3031
3032 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3033
3034         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
3035         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
3036         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
3037
3038         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
3039
3040         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
3041         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
3042         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
3043
3044 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3045
3046         * session.scm: New file: Session support.
3047         (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.
3048
3049 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3050
3051         * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
3052         cstime.
3053
3054 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3055
3056         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
3057         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
3058         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
3059
3060         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
3061         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
3062         the top.
3063
3064         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
3065         order to narrow it correctly.
3066         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
3067
3068 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3069
3070         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
3071         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
3072
3073 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3074
3075         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
3076
3077 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3078
3079         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
3080         builtin `with-fluids*'.
3081
3082 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3083
3084         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3085         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
3086         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
3087
3088 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3089
3090         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
3091         automatically.
3092
3093 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3094
3095         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
3096         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
3097         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
3098         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
3099         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
3100
3101 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3102
3103         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
3104         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
3105         a default of /.
3106
3107         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
3108
3109 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3110
3111         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
3112         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
3113         notation, instead of #/ notation.
3114
3115         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
3116         make-regexp.
3117
3118 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3119
3120         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3121         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3122         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
3123         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3124         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3125         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3126
3127         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3128         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3129         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3130         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3131
3132 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3133
3134         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3135         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
3136         sending in bug reports.
3137         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3138         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3139         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3140         display a warning if the two are different.
3141         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3142         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3143         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3144
3145 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3146
3147         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
3148
3149 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3150
3151         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3152         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3153
3154         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3155         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3156         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3157         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3158         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3159         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3160         that's okay.
3161
3162         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
3163         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3164         regexp interface.
3165
3166         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3167         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
3168
3169         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3170         function names.
3171
3172         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3173         fixes.
3174
3175 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3176
3177         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3178         ../configure.in.
3179
3180 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3181
3182         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3183         vtable and not the one of the struct.
3184
3185 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3186
3187         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3188         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3189         to support printing of structures.
3190         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3191         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
3192         commented out printing code.
3193         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3194         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
3195
3196 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3197
3198         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3199
3200 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3201
3202         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3203         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3204         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3205         during call to scm-style-repl.
3206
3207 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3208
3209         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3210         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3211         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3212         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3213         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3214
3215 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3216
3217         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3218         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3219         (ice-9 regex).
3220
3221 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3222
3223         * regex.scm: New file.
3224         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3225         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3226
3227 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3228
3229         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
3230         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
3231         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,

3234 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3235
3236         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
3237         in 1997.
3238
3239 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3240
3241         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3242         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3243         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3244
3245 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3246
3247         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3248         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3249         here.
3250
3251 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3252
3253         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

3258
3259 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3260
3261         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3262         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3263         fixes this too.
3264
3265 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3266
3267         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3268         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3269         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3270

3273         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3274         the Scheme code like code yet.
3275         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3276
3277 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3278
3279         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3280         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3281         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3282
3283 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3284
3285         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3286         use-modules macro
3287         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3288         can't be found.
3289
3290 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3291

3293
3294 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3295
3296         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3297
3298         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3299         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3300         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3301
3302 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3303
3304         Get 'make dist' to work again.
3305         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3306         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
3307
3308         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3309         no plugins.
3310         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3311         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3312

3314
3315         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
3316         functions.
3317

3319
3320         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
3321
3322 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3323
3324         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3325         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
3326
3327 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3328
3329         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3330         instead of in libguile.
3331         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3332         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3333
3334 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3335
3336         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3337         procedures.
3338         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3339         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3340
3341 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3342
3343         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3344         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3345
3346 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3347
3348         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3349         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3350         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3351         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3352
3353 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3354
3355         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3356         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3357
3358 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3359
3360         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3361
3362 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3363
3364         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3365         keywords and symbols.
3366
3367 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3368
3369         * slib.scm: update read usage.
3370
3371         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3372         Don't define read-sharp.
3373
3374         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3375         (read-sharp): removed.
3376         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3377         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3378
3379 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3380
3381         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3382
3383         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
3384         primitive procedure.)
3385
3386         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3387         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.

3390
3391         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3392
3393 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3394
3395         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3396
3397 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3398
3399         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3400         read gets EOF.
3401         * (exit): alias for quit.
3402
3403 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3404
3405         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3406         return the quit args.
3407         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3408         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3409         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3410
3411         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3412
3413 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3414
3415         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3416
3417         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3418         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3419
3420         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3421         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3422
3423         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3424         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3425         of handlers.
3426
3427 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3428
3429         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3430
3431         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3432         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3433         Change hooks to use these functions.
3434
3435         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3436         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3437         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3438         the source! :-)
3439         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3440         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3441         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3442         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3443         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3444         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3445         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3446         traced.
3447
3448         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3449         and exit-frame exceptions.
3450
3451         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3452         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3453         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3454         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3455         result; otherwise display "> ".
3456         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3457
3458         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3459         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3460         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3461         repository version runnable.
3462
3463 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3464
3465         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3466         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3467         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3468         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3469         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3470         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3471
3472 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3473
3474         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3475         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3476         and eval.
3477         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3478         "defined?".
3479         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3480         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3481
3482 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3483
3484         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3485
3486 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3487
3488         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3489         %read-sharp layer.
3490
3491 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3492
3493         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3494         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3495
3496 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3497
3498         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3499         backtrace.c.)
3500
3501 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3502
3503         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3504         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3505
3506 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3507
3508         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3509
3510         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3511         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3512         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3513         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3514         dynamic linking of modules.
3515         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3516         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3517
3518 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3519
3520         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3521
3522 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3523
3524         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3525         that's what it is.
3526
3527         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3528         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3529         was false.
3530
3531 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3532
3533         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3534         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3535         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3536
3537 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3538
3539         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3540         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
3541         yet.
3542
3543 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3544
3545         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3546         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3547         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3548
3549 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3550
3551         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3552         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3553         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3554         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3555
3556         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3557         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3558         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3559         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3560         (such as the-scm-module).
3561
3562 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3563
3564         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3565         %search-load-path.
3566
3567 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
3568
3569         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3570         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3571         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3572
3573 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3574
3575         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3576         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3577         function, use it accordingly.
3578
3579 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3580
3581         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
3582         function of no arguments.
3583         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3584         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3585         set-current-module): Uses changed.
3586         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3587         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3588         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3589         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3590         *top-level-eval-closure*.
3591
3592 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3593
3594         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3595         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3596
3597 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3598
3599         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3600         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3601         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
3602         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
3603         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3604
3605         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3606         `*features*'.
3607
3608         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3609         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
3610         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3611         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3612
3613         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3614
3615         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3616
3617         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3618         If the user wants to see this, he can do
3619         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3620
3621         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3622         error.
3623
3624         Added `before-read-hook'.
3625
3626         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3627
3628         (provide): New function.
3629
3630         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3631         in backtraces.
3632
3633         (backtrace): New function.
3634
3635         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3636         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3637         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
3638         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3639         is found in operator position in a frame.
3640
3641         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3642         by default.
3643
3644         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3645         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3646         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3647
3648         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
3649
3650         (library-vicinity): Updated.
3651
3652         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3653
3654         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3655
3656 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3657
3658         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3659
3660         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3661         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
3662
3663         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3664         so they'll get distributed.
3665
3666         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
3667         should see as little clutter as possible.
3668         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3669         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3670         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3671
3672         * r4rs.scm: New file.
3673         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3674         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3675         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3676         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3677         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3678         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3679         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3680         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3681         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3682         that are not.
3683         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3684         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3685
3686         * test.scm: New file.
3687
3688         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3689         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
3690         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3691
3692         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3693         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3694
3695         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3696         work now.
3697         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
3698         call %load-announce.
3699
3700 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3701
3702         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3703         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3704         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3705         components.
3706         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3707
3708 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3709
3710         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3711         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3712         SCSH (which this isn't).
3713
3714 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3715
3716         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3717
3718 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3719
3720         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3721         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3722         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3723         these.
3724         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
3725         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
3726         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3727         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3728         save-stack.
3729
3730 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3731
3732         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3733
3734         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3735
3736         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3737         error-catching-loop.
3738         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3739         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3740         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3741
3742         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3743         error-catching-loop.
3744
3745 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3746
3747         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3748         (make-module): Rework for readability.
3749         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3750         should be '(), not #f.
3751
3752         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3753         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3754
3755 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3756
3757         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3758         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3759         error-signal.
3760
3761 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3762
3763         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3764         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3765         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3766         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3767
3768 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3769
3770         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3771
3772 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3773
3774         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3775
3776         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3777         throw-handler-default.
3778         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3779         reported.
3780         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3781         acro.
3782         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3783         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3784
3785 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3786
3787         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3788         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3789         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3790         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3791
3792 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3793
3794         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3795         Append "." to the default %load-path.
3796         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3797         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3798         ...))
3799         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3800         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3801         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3802         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3803         file-is-directory?
3804
3805 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3806
3807         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3808
3809         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3810         distribution.
3811
3812         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3813         `switch-repl'.
3814
3815         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3816
3817 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3818
3819         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3820         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3821
3822 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3823
3824         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3825
3826         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3827
3828 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3829
3830         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
3831         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3832         Don't set up 'error as a key.
3833         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3834         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3835
3836         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3837         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3838         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3839         they seem redundant.
3840         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3841         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
3842         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3843         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
3844         directly files starting with "/").
3845         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3846         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3847
3848         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3849
3850 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3851
3852         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3853         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3854         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
3855         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3856         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3857         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3858         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
3859         robust to just do it in the C code.
3860
3861 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3862
3863         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
3864         %try-load itself was the primitive.
3865         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3866         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3867         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3868
3869 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3870
3871         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3872         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3873         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3874
3875 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3876
3877         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3878         system-error, not every kind of error.
3879         (scm-error): new procedure.
3880
3881 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3882
3883         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3884
3885 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3886
3887         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3888         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
3889         of args are supplied.
3890         (%%system-errors): removed.
3891         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3892         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3893         %%handle-system-error.
3894         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3895         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3896         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3897         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3898
3899 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3900
3901         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3902         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3903         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3904         %S (embed an argument using "write").
3905
3906 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3907
3908         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3909         the empty list if they are #f.
3910         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3911
3912 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3913
3914         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3915
3916         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3917         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3918         aborting, just the key and subr.
3919         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3920         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3921         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
3922
3923 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3924
3925         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3926         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
3927         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3928         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3929         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
3930
3931 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3932
3933         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
3934         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
3935         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
3936         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
3937
3938 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3939
3940         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
3941         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
3942         initialize %load-path.
3943
3944         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3945         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
3946
3947 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3948
3949         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3950         Add the directory named after the version number.
3951         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
3952         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
3953         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
3954         sitedatadir): New definitions.

3962         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3963         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3964         in the Makefile directly.
3965         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3966         for these.
3967         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
3968         aux_files.
3969         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
3970         here, where people expect to find them.

4005         (manifest): Deleted.
4006         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
