   3         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Use a proper hashtable as
   4         the obarray, not an empty vector.

   6         for empty ones.
   7
   8         * format.scm (format:error): Use 'format:format' instead of

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

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

 188
 189         * boot-9.scm (make-module): Changed default size from 1021 to 31

 205
 206 2003-01-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 207
 208         * syncase.scm (guile-macro): Strip syntactic information from
 209         expression before trying to treat it as a Guile macro call.
 210         (Thanks to Kevin Ryde.)
 211
 212 2003-01-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 213
 214         * threads.scm (parallel, letpar): Rewritten.

 219         futures.
 220
 221 2003-01-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 222
 223         * occam-channel.scm (alt): New syntax.
 224
 225         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Removed.  Guile now provides this
 226         operator as a primitive procedure.
 227         (build-data): Quote vectors (psyntax.ss requires this).
 228
 229 2003-01-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 230
 231         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Allow procedures implanted in
 232         source.  (Guile uses this internally.)
 233
 234 2003-01-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 235
 236         * psyntax.ss (build-data): Don't quote self-evaluating expressions
 237         in output.  (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be
 238         quoted, but until Guile's native macros and syncase cooperates
 239         better, it is less destructive not to quote.)
 240         (self-evaluating?): Removed null? (In Guile, the empty list is not
 241         self-evaluating).
 242         (sc-chi): Export chi as sc-chi.
 243         (external-macro): New syntax type.
 244
 245         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 246
 247         * compile-psyntax.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure.
 248
 249         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Return *unspecified*.
 250
 251         * syncase.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure to
 252         the-syncase-eval-closure during booting so that variables are
 253         created in the correct module.
 254         (syncase): Set expansion-eval-closure.
 255         (define-syntax define-syntax-public eval-when fluid-let-syntax
 256         identifier-syntax let-syntax letrec-syntax syntax syntax-case
 257         syntax-rules with-syntax include): Removed definitions (these are
 258         created from within psyntax.pp).
 259         Enable expansion of Guile macros during a syntax-case
 260         transformation.
 261
 262 2003-01-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 263
 264         * occam-channel.scm (make-channel): Renamed from channel.
 265         (make-timer): New function.
 266
 267         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added occam-channel.scm.
 268
 269         * occam-channel.scm: New file.  Implements occam-like channels.
 270
 271 2002-12-28  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 272
 273         * boot-9.scm (module-defined-hook): New hook, run whenever a new
 274         module is defined.
 275         (process-define-module): Run this hook.
 276
 277 2002-12-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
 278
 279         * threads.scm: Removed bogus definition of future-ref.
 280
 281 2002-12-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 282
 283         * threads.scm (par-map, par-for-each): Reimplemented using
 284         joing-thread.
 285         (parallel): Reimplemented using futures.
 286         (n-par-map, n-for-each): New procedures.
 287
 288 2002-12-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 289
 290         * optargs.scm (improper-list-copy): New.
 291         (parse-arglist): Use it instead of list-copy.
 292
 293 2002-12-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 294

 299         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION ->
 300         GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.

 304
 305         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION -> GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
 306
 307 2002-12-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

 309         * threads.scm (parallel): New macro.
 310          (par-map, par-for-each): New procedures.
 311
 312         * documentation.scm (object-documentation): Added support for

 321
 322         Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
 323         following changes:
 324
 325         * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.

 327         (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
 328         %system-define.
 329
 330         * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
 331         until Guile supports hygienic macros.
 332
 333 2002-11-17  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 334
 335         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
 336         has been removed from the core.
 337
 338 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 339
 340         * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
 341         identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
 342         syntax-rules, with-syntax, include):  Changed definitions to form
 343         'real' macro definitions.

 346
 347         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 348         Fixed my previous fix (blush).
 349
 350 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 351
 352         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 353         Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
 354
 355 2002-11-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 356
 357         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition
 358         needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.
 359
 360 2002-11-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 361
 362         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"

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

 372         code.
 373
 374         * debugger/command-loop.scm (read-and-dispatch-command): Import
 375         set-readline-prompt dynamically if we need to.  (Previous
 376         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
 377         readline).)
 378
 379 2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 380
 381         * format.scm (format): Wrap a monitor around format:format since

 385
 386         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'.  This

 402         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits

 411         location in a way that is more easily trackable by Emacs.
 412
 413         * debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
 414         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
 415         execution from a breakpoint.
 416
 417         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,

 432 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 433
 434         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
 435         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
 436         the-root-module.
 437
 438 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 439
 440         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
 441         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and
 442         call-with-unblocked-asyncs instead of mask-signals and
 443         unmask-signals.
 444

 451
 452         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
 453         >= 0.
 454
 455 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 456
 457         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to
 458         limit the signal stack.
 459
 460 2002-09-15  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 461
 462         * boot-9.scm (feature?): Added deprecation message.
 463
 464 2002-09-14  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 465
 466         * boot-9.scm (sqrt): minor indentation fix.
 467
 468 2002-09-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 469
 470         * syncase.scm: Set the module transformer of the-syncase-module so
 471         that we can use define-syntax.
 472         (define-syntax-public): New and exported.

 477         (sc-macro): Set the expansion-eval-closure expanding the form.
 478         (putprop, getprop): Use the expansion-eval-closure to find
 479         variables instead of the current module.
 480
 481 2002-07-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 482
 483         * slib.scm (make-exchanger): Added.  Thanks to Clinton Ebadi!

 492         * boot-9.scm (file-set-position): Make third argument optional,
 493         for SCM compatibility.

 509
 510         * format.scm (format:fn-max): Increase to 400 so ~f and ~g can
 511         print long real numbers with large positive and negative
 512         exponents.
 513

 520         * gap-buffer.scm: New file.

 543
 544         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
 545         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
 546         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
 547
 548         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.
 549

 560 2002-01-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 561
 562         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
 563         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
 564         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
 565         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
 566
 567 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 568
 569         More options for pretty-print.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!

 571         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
 572         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
 573         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
 574
 575 2001-11-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 576
 577         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have
 578         these in the core.
 579
 580 2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 581

 585         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
 586         positions.
 587
 588 2001-10-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 589
 590         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 591         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 592         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 593
 594         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,

 600           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
 601           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 602           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 603           exporting bindings.
 604
 605 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 606
 607         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
 608         :re-export-syntax
 609
 610 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 611
 612         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 613         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 614         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 615         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 616
 617 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 618
 619         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
 620         %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,

 625
 626         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.
 627
 628 2001-09-19  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>
 629
 630         * expect.scm: Commentary fix; nfc.
 631
 632         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
 633
 634 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 635
 636         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 637         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
 638
 639 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 640
 641         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 642         the `arglist' procedure property.
 643         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 644         present a more detailed argument list.
 645
 646         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 647
 648 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 649
 650         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
 651         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel
 652         Skarda.
 653
 654 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 655
 656         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
 657
 658         (feature?): Deprecated.
 659
 660         (id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags,

 668
 669         (module-make-local-var!, module-ensure-local-variable!,
 670         module-define!): Eliminate call to `variable-set-name-hint!´.
 671
 672         (try-load-module, use-syntax, module-export!): Remove deprecated
 673         functionality.
 674
 675         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
 676         needed to trick export.
 677
 678 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 679
 680         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.
 681
 682 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 683
 684         * and-let-star-compat.scm:  Deleted.
 685
 686         * Makefile.am: Remove references to and-let-star-compat.scm.
 687
 688 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 689
 690         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
 691         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
 692         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
 693
 694 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 695
 696         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
 697         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
 698
 699 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 700
 701         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".
 702
 703 2001-08-12  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 704
 705         * getopt-long.scm: Rewrite.
 706         Touch up docstrings.
 707         Augment commentary.
 708
 709 2001-08-02  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 710
 711         * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
 712         last-command fluid is not yet set.
 713
 714 2001-08-02  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 715
 716         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
 717
 718         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
 719         value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
 720         next element is to be taken as the option arg.
 721
 722 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
 723
 724         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
 725         handle :use-syntax correctly.
 726
 727 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 728
 729         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
 730         compile-psyntax.scm.
 731
 732 2001-07-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 733
 734         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in

 736         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
 737         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
 738         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
 739
 740 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 741
 742         * and-let-star.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm, history.scm,
 743         lineio.scm, null.scm, optargs.scm, r4rs.scm, r5rs.scm,
 744         receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
 745
 746 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 747
 748         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 749         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
 750
 751 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 752
 753         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
 754         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
 755         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
 756         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
 757
 758         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 759         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
 760         since there aren't definitions for them.
 761
 762         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
 763         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
 764
 765 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 766
 767         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
 768         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
 769
 770 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 771
 772         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
 773         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
 774
 775 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 776
 777         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
 778         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
 779         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
 780

 790         is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
 791
 792         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
 793         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
 794         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
 795         New.
 796
 797 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 798

 801
 802 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 803
 804         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
 805         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
 806
 807         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
 808         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
 809         evaluator trap options.)
 810

 829
 830         * match.scm:
 831         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
 832         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
 833         No longer require `pretty-print'.
 834
 835         (slib:error): Delete.
 836         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
 837
 838         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
 839

 847 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 848
 849         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
 850         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
 851         rdelim) module.  See below.
 852
 853 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 854
 855         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
 856         include-deprecated-features is true.
 857
 858 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 859
 860         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
 861         unknown objects.
 862
 863         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
 864         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
 865         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 866
 867         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
 868         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
 869         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
 870         Köppe!
 871
 872 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 873
 874         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
 875         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
 876         variable, not just a visible one.
 877         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
 878         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
 879         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
 880         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
 881         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
 882         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
 883         variables.
 884         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
 885
 886         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
 887         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
 888
 889 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 890
 891         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
 892         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
 893
 894 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 895
 896         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
 897
 898 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 899
 900         Added exception notice to all files.
 901
 902         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
 903         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
 904         importing bindings once in a while.
 905
 906 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 907
 908         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
 909         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
 910         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 911         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
 912         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 913         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 914         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 915         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
 916         message.
 917         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
 918         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
 919
 920 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 921
 922         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
 923         fix command so that it works.
 924
 925         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
 926         to access unbound variables.
 927
 928         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
 929         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
 930         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
 931         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
 932         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
 933
 934 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 935
 936         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
 937         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
 938         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
 939         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
 940         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
 941         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
 942         argument for process-define-module.
 943         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
 944         arguments for process-use-modules.
 945         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
 946
 947 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 948
 949         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
 950         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
 951         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
 952         module.
 953
 954         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
 955         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
 956         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
 957
 958         * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.
 959
 960 2001-05-23  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 961
 962         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
 963         to feature lists.
 964         (cond-expand): Use feature information associated with modules.
 965
 966 2001-05-21  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 967
 968         * boot-9.scm (use-srfis): Do not extend the srfi-0 feature list.
 969         (cond-expand-provide): New procedure.
 970
 971 2001-05-22  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 972
 973         * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
 974         (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when
 975         getting the syntax transformer.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 976
 977 2001-05-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 978
 979         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
 980         deprecated features have been removed.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
 981
 982         * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
 983         `display'.
 984
 985 2001-05-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 986
 987         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
 988         * match.scm: Likewise.
 989         * expect.scm: Likewise.
 990         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 991
 992         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
 993
 994         * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
 995
 996         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
 997         set-current-module.
 998         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
 999         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
1000         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
1001         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
1002         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
1003         element list when adding "." to it.

1005         dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
1006

1008
1009         * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
1010         cleanup; nfc.
1011         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
1012         now accepts arg; update callers.
1013         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
1014         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
1015
1016         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
1017         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
1018         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
1019         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
1020         `search-documentation-files'.
1021         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
1022         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.

1024
1025         * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
1026         Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.

1033
1034         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
1035         so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.
1036         (use-srfis): New procedure.
1037
1038 2001-05-15  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1039
1040         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Signal error now also if
1041         used module's public interface is not available.
1042         No longer call `beautify-user-module!'.
1043         Signal error now also if selected binding not found.
1044
1045 2001-05-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1046
1047         Merge from mvo-vcell-clenaup-1-branch.
1048
1049         * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
1050         the module obarray.
1051         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
1052
1053         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
1054         the magical undefined value.
1055         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
1056         the default default for bindings.
1057
1058         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
1059         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
1060         (root-module-closure): Removed.
1061         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
1062         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.
1063         (scm-module-closure): Removed.
1064         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
1065         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.  Set the
1066         eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
1067         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
1068         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
1069         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
1070         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
1071         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
1072         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
1073         `set-current-module' call.
1074         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
1075         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.
1076
1077         * debug.scm: Use `module-set!' instead of `variable-set!' to set
1078         insert `debug-options' into the-root-module.

1105         `module-public-interface'.
1106         (resolve-interface): Extend to handle selection and renaming in spec.
1107         Arg is now `spec' which can be a simple module name (list of symbols)
1108         or a interface spec.
1109         (symbol-prefix-proc): New proc.
1110         (%autoloader-developer-mode): Delete.
1111         (process-define-module): Use "define-module" in error messages
1112         instead of "defmodule".  Factor error into internal proc.
1113         Rewrite `use-module' and `use-syntax' handlers.
1114         Replace some single-arm `if-not' constructs w/ `or'.
1115         (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
1116         which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
1117         (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use
1118         `provided?'.

1131
1132 2001-05-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1133
1134         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Change error message to say
1135         `use-syntax' rather than `use-modules'.
1136
1137 2001-05-02  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1138
1139         * safe-r5rs.scm: Fix typo: make-rectangualr => make-rectangular.

1414
1415 2001-01-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

1417         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
1418         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
1419
1420         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
1421         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
1422
1423         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
1424         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
1425
1426 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1427
1428         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
1429         in C for now.
1430         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
1431         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
1432
1433 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1434
1435         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
1436         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
1437         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
1438         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
1439         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
1440         for now.
1441         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).

1443
1444 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1445
1446         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1447         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1448         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1449         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1450         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1451         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1452         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
1453
1454 2000-12-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1455
1456         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only

1458
1459 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1460
1461         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
1462         any more.
1463
1464 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1465
1466         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
1467         the-root-module.
1468

1474
1475         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
1476         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
1477         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
1478         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,

1485         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
1486         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
1487         make-shared-substring.
1488
1489 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1490
1491         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1492         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1493         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1494         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1495         scm-style-repl.
1496

1500         and open-output-pipe.
1501
1502 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1503
1504         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1505         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1506         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1507         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1508         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1509         Pirotte for the bug report).
1510         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1511         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

1521
1522 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1523
1524         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
1525         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
1526         patch.
1527
1528 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1529

1532
1533 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1534
1535         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1536         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1537         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1538
1539         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1540         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1541         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1542         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1543         actual documentation entries themselves.

1545 2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1546
1547         * boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
1548
1549 2000-09-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1550
1551         * syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.
1552
1553 2000-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1554
1555         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
1556         Convert first argument to a string.
1557
1558         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
1559         getter-and-setter-syntax,
1560         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
1561         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
1562
1563         * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
1564
1565         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
1566
1567 2000-08-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

1570
1571 2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1572
1573         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
1574         `symbol-append'.
1575         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1576         args.
1577         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1578         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1579         even worked...  /mdj.
1580         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1581         `symbol->string'.
1582         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1583         semantics.
1584
1585 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1586
1587         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
1588         form set!.
1589
1590 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1591
1592         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
1593         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
1594

1604
1605         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive.  (Thanks to

1609
1610         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1611         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1612         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1613         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1614         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1615
1616         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1617
1618 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1619
1620         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
1621         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1622
1623         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1624         syntactic bindings.
1625
1626         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1627         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1628         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
1629         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1630
1631         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
1632
1633         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
1634         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
1635

1637
1638         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1639         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1640
1641 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1642
1643         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1644         definition of module-type.
1645
1646         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1647
1648         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1649
1650         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1651         lines.
1652         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1653         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1654
1655 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1656
1657         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
1658
1659 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1660
1661         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
1662         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
1663         Mikael for the suggestion.
1664
1665 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1666
1667         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1668         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1669
1670 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1671
1672         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1673         for export args.
1674
1675 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1676
1677         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
1678
1679 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1680
1681         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1682         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
1683         for the hint.
1684
1685         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
1686         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
1687         tail recursive yet.
1688
1689 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1690
1691         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1692         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1693
1694         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1695         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1696         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1697         See NEWS.
1698         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1699
1700         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1701
1702 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1703
1704         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1705         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1706
1707 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1708
1709         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1710         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1711
1712 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1713
1714         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
1715         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1716
1717 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1718
1719         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1720
1721         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1722
1723         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1724
1725 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1726
1727         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1728         '() instead of #f.
1729         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1730         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1731         `the-root-module'.
1732         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1733
1734         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1735         documentation.scm.
1736
1737         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1738         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1739         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1740         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1741         (help): Rewritten.
1742
1743         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1744
1745         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1746
1747 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1748
1749         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1750         (write-all): Removed.
1751         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
1752         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
1753
1754 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
1755
1756         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1757         `proc-documentation'
1758
1759         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
1760         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1761         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1762         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1763         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1764         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1765         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1766         getter...)
1767
1768 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1769
1770         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
1771
1772 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1773
1774         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1775         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
1776         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1777         closure.
1778
1779 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1780
1781         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
1782         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1783         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
1784         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
1785         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1786         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1787         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1788
1789 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1790
1791         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
1792         accept complex numbers as parameter.
1793
1794 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1795
1796         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1797         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
1798
1799 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1800
1801         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1802         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1803         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1804         instead of remove-if when iterating.
1805         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1806         delete-if! when iterating.
1807
1808 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1809
1810         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1811
1812 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1813
1814         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
1815
1816 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1817
1818         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1819         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
1820         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1821         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1822
1823 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1824
1825         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
1826         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1827
1828 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1829
1830         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
1831         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1832         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
1833         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
1834
1835 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1836
1837         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1838         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1839
1840 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1841
1842         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1843         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1844
1845 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1846
1847         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1848         Dirk Hermann!
1849
1850 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1851
1852         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1853         source of the numerous very short changes.
1854
1855 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1856
1857         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1858         public.
1859
1860         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1861         info pages.
1862
1863 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1864
1865         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1866         from slib docs.
1867
1868 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1869
1870         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1871         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1872
1873 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1874
1875         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1876         to string-append.
1877
1878 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1879
1880         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1881         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
1882         the time first either, since expect-select does it.

1884 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1885
1886         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1887         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1888         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
1889         Narazaki for this change.
1890
1891 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1892
1893         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1894         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1895         %S.
1896
1897         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1898         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1899
1900 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1901
1902         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1903         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1904
1905 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1906
1907         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,

1912
1913         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1914         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1915         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1916

1922
1923         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1924         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1925
1926 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1927
1928         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.

1930         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1931
1932         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1933
1934 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>

1939 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1940
1941         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1942         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
1943
1944 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1945
1946         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
1947         script to create generated files like this one.
1948
1949 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1950
1951         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1952         available before using getpw and getuid.
1953         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1954         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1955         check for stat.
1956         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1957         check for .guile, instead of stat.
1958         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1959         available.
1960         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
1961         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1962         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1963
1964         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
1965         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1966
1967         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1968
1969 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

1972         than 'exit-debugger.
1973
1974         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1975         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1976
1977         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1978
1979 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1980
1981         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";

1989
1990 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1991
1992         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the

1997
1998         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1999         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
2000
2001 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2002
2003         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

2018
2019         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
2020         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
2021
2022         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
2023
2024 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2025
2026         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
2027         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
2028         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
2029         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
2030
2031         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
2032         argument.
2033
2034         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
2035         both forward and backward views of the stack
2036         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
2037         Use selector `frame-number';
2038         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
2039         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
2040         Use (ice-9 debug).

2043 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2044
2045         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
2046         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
2047         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
2048
2049         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
2050         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
2051         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
2052
2053 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2054
2055         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
2056
2057         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
2058
2059         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
2060
2061         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2062
2063 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2064
2065         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
2066         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
2067         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
2068         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
2069         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
2070         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
2071         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
2072         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
2073         libguile-config-stamp.
2074         * version.scm.in: Delete.
2075         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
2076         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
2077         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
2078         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
2079
2080 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2081
2082         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
2083         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
2084         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
2085
2086         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
2087         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
2088         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
2089         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
2090         readline.
2091
2092         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
2093
2094 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
2095
2096         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
2097
2098 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2099
2100         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
2101         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
2102
2103 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
2104
2105         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
2106         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
2107         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
2108         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
2109         objects starting with '#/'.
2110
2111 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2112
2113         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
2114         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
2115         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
2116         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
2117         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
2118         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
2119         `observer-id'.
2120         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
2121         module-modified): New procedures.
2122         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
2123         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
2124
2125 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2126
2127         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
2128         defines.
2129
2130 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2131
2132         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
2133         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
2134         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2135
2136         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
2137         position.
2138
2139 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2140
2141         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
2142         at multiple calls to read.
2143         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
2144         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
2145         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
2146         continued-lines prompt.
2147
2148         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
2149         reading expressions.
2150
2151 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2152
2153         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
2154         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2155
2156 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2157
2158         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
2159         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
2160         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2161
2162         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2163
2164         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
2165         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
2166
2167         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
2168         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
2169         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
2170         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
2171         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
2172         instead of a port.
2173
2174 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2175
2176         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
2177         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2178
2179         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
2180
2181         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
2182         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
2183         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
2184         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
2185
2186         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
2187
2188         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2189
2190         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
2191         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
2192         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
2193         an alist.
2194
2195         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2196
2197         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
2198         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
2199         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
2200         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
2201         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
2202         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2203         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
2204         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
2205         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
2206         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2207         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
2208
2209         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2210
2211         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
2212         peeked from the stream.
2213         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
2214         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
2215         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
2216
2217         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2218
2219         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
2220         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
2221
2222         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2223
2224         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2225         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
2226         exiting repl with single control-D.
2227
2228         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2229
2230         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2231         error catching loop after quit received.
2232         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2233
2234         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2235         primitive exit if non-interactive.
2236         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2237
2238         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2239         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2240         boot-9.scm.
2241         * popen.scm: new file.
2242
2243 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2244
2245        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
2246        (reverse-iota):  removed.
2247
2248 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2249
2250         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
2251         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
2252
2253 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2254
2255         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2256         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2257         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2258         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2259         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2260
2261 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2262
2263         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2264
2265         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2266         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2267
2268         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2269         Guile's module system.
2270
2271         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2272         changes:
2273         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2274         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2275         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2276         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
2277         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2278         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2279         modern CL behavior.
2280         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2281         '() when the condition is false.
2282
2283 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2284
2285         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2286
2287 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2288
2289         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2290
2291 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2292
2293         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2294         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2295         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2296
2297 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2298
2299         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2300         argument order for hash-fold.
2301
2302 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2303
2304         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
2305         resolve-module.
2306         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2307         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2308
2309         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2310         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2311         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2312         has been added to the load path).
2313
2314         Use try-load-module.
2315
2316 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2317
2318         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
2319         module between system and user state.
2320
2321 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2322
2323         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2324
2325         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2326         definition.
2327
2328 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2329
2330         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2331         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2332         system can create a wrapper class for it.
2333
2334 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2335
2336         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2337         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
2338         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2339         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2340         stack frame encountered.
2341
2342         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2343         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2344         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2345         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2346         list).]
2347
2348         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2349         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2350         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2351         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2352         please tell me!]
2353
2354         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2355         define-module switches:
2356
2357         (define-module (foo)
2358           :no-backtrace)
2359
2360         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2361         modules.
2362
2363         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2364         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2365         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2366         module it is a system frame.
2367
2368         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2369         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2370         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2371         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2372         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2373
2374         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2375         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
2376         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2377         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2378         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
2379         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2380
2381         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2382         status of a module.;
2383         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2384         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2385
2386         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2387         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2388         closure to the module.
2389
2390         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2391
2392 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2399
2400 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2401
2402         Fix from Russ McManus:
2403         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2404         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2405         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2406         either an optional or required value.
2407
2408 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2409
2410         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2411
2412         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2413         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2414
2415         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2416         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2417         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2418         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2419
2420 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2421
2422         * optargs.scm: New file.
2423         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2424         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2425
2426 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2427
2428         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2429         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2430         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2431
2432 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2433
2434         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2435         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2436         for isn't loaded.
2437
2438 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2439
2440         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2441
2442 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2443
2444         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2445         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2446         applied to the module itself.
2447
2448 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2449
2450         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2451
2452         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2453         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2454
2455 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2456
2457         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

2462
2463 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2464
2465         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2466         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2467
2468 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2469
2470         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2471         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2472         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2473         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2474         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2475         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2476         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2477
2478 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2479
2480         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2481         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2482
2483 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2484
2485         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2486         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2487         static libraries.
2488
2489 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2490
2491         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2492
2493 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2494
2495         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2496
2497 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2498
2499         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2500         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2501         adapt to the new hooks.
2502
2503 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2504
2505         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2506         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2507         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2508         code.
2509         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2510         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2511
2512         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2513         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2514         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2515         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2516         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2517         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2518         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2519         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2520         first to register linked modules.
2521
2522         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2523         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2524         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2525
2526         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2527         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2528         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2529         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2530
2531         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2532         to use from C:
2533         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2534         libguile/feature.c.
2535
2536         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2537         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2538         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2539
2540 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2541
2542         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2543         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2544         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2545
2546 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2547
2548         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2549         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2550         result of the last form.
2551
2552 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2553
2554         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2555         syncase.scm.
2556
2557         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2558
2559         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2560         readline-set!: New options interface.
2561
2562         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2563
2564 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2565
2566         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2567         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2568
2569 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2570
2571         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2572         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2573
2574 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2575
2576         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2577         interactive session.
2578         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2579
2580         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2581         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2582
2583 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2584
2585         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2586
2587 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2588
2589         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2590         read line was empty.
2591
2592 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2593
2594         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2595         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2596
2597         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2598
2599         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2600         problem.  Duh.
2601         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2602         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2603         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2604
2605         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2606         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2607         into...
2608         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2609         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2610         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2611
2612         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2613         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2614         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2615         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2616         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2617         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2618         psyntax.ss.
2619         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2620
2621         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2622         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2623
2624 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2625
2626         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2627         and short vectors #h(...).
2628
2629 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2630
2631         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2632         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2633         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2634
2635 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2636
2637         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2638         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2639         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2640
2641 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2642
2643         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2644         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2645
2646         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2647         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2648         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2649         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2650
2651 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2652
2653         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2654         trace flag.
2655
2656         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2657         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2658         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2659         context with traps enabled.
2660
2661 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2662
2663         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2664         module.
2665         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2666
2667 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2668
2669         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2670         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2671         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2672         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2673         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2674
2675 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2676
2677         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2678         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2679
2680 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2681
2682         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2683
2684 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2685
2686         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2687
2688 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2689
2690         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2691
2692 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2693
2694         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2695         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2696
2697 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2698
2699         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2700         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2701         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2702         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
2703         Archibald.)
2704
2705         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2706         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2707         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2708
2709 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2710
2711         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2712         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2713         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2714         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
2715         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2716         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2717         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2718
2719 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2720
2721         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2722
2723 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2724
2725         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2726         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2727         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
2728         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2729         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2730         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2731
2732 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2733
2734         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2735         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2736         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
2737         Steven G. Johnson.)
2738
2739 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2740
2741         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2742
2743 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2744
2745         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2746
2747 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2748
2749         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2750         be completed.
2751
2752 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2753
2754         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2755
2756 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2757
2758         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2759         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2760
2761 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2762
2763         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2764         similar in use to `use-modules'.
2765         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2766         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2767         transformer.
2768         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2769         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2770
2771 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2772
2773         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2774
2775 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2776
2777         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2778         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2779         completion.
2780
2781         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2782         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2783
2784         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2785         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2786         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2787
2788         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2789
2790 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2791
2792         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2793
2794         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2795         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2796
2797 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2798
2799         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2800
2801 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2802
2803         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
2804         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2805
2806         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2807
2808         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
2809         obsolete.
2810
2811 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2812
2813         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2814         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2815
2816 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2817
2818         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2819
2820 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2821
2822         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
2823         Stachowiak.)
2824
2825 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2826
2827         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2828         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
2829         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2830         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2831         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2832         threads.
2833
2834 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2835
2836         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2837         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2838         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2839
2840 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2841
2842         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2843
2844         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2845         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2846
2847 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2848
2849         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2850         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2851         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2852         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2853         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
2854         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2855         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2856         to go here.
2857
2858 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2859
2860         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2861         is now a fluid.
2862
2863 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2864
2865         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2866         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2867         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
2868         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
2869         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2870         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2871
2872 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2873
2874         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2875         usefully so they will work from a script.
2876
2877 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2878
2879         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2880         neighborhood of the record code.
2881
2882 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2883
2884         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
2885         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2886         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2887         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2888
2889 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2890
2891         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2892         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2893         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2894
2895 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2896
2897         Add support for readline function.
2898         * readline.scm: New module.
2899         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2900         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2901         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2902         anything.
2903         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2904         repl-reader to use them.
2905         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2906
2907         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2908
2909 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2910
2911         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2912         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2913
2914 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2915
2916         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2917         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2918         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2919
2920 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2921
2922         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
2923         #f, abort terminates the process.
2924         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2925         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
2926
2927 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2928
2929         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2930         print-state, throw it away.
2931
2932 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2933
2934         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2935         `0'.
2936
2937 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2938
2939         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2940         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2941         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2942         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2943         user field).
2944         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2945         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.

2947 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2948
2949         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2950
2951 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2952
2953         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2954         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2955         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2956         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2957         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2958         boot-9.scm.
2959         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2960         distribution and installation.
2961         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2962
2963 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2964
2965         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
2966
2967 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2968
2969         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2970         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
2971         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2972
2973         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2974         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2975         symbol.
2976
2977 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2978
2979         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
2980

2984
2985         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2986         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2987         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2988         field a separate argument.
2989
2990         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2991
2992 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2993
2994         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2995
2996         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
2997         vicinity;
2998         Provide defmacro.
2999
3000 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3005
3006         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
3007         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
3008         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
3009         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
3010         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
3011         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
3012         registered.
3013         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
3014         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
3015         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
3016         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
3017         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
3018         link a .so-file.

3026         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
3027         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
3028
3029 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3030
3031         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
3032
3033         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
3034         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
3035         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
3036         expansion inside the slib module.
3037
3038         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
3039         constructors.

3045         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
3046         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
3047
3048         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
3049         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
3050         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
3051         source.
3052         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
3053         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
3054         been loaded.
3055
3056 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

3058         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
3059         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
3060         `use-syntax'.
3061         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.

3063         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

3065         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
3066         mutator for module-associated transformer.
3067         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
3068         `scm:eval-transformer'.
3069         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
3070         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
3071         module.
3072         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
3073
3074 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3075
3076         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
3077
3078         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
3079         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
3080         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
3081         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
3082         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
3083
3084         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
3085         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
3086         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
3087         syncase macros.
3088         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
3089         the syncase interface.
3090
3091 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3092
3093         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
3094         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
3095         workings of the current module system).
3096
3097 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3098
3099         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
3100         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
3101         off!
3102
3103 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3108
3109 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3110
3111         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
3112         according to the following priorities:
3113         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
3114         2. bindings from the-scm-module
3115         3. tcl bindings
3116         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
3117         disabling the scheme interpreter.
3118         (new-interpreter): New function.
3119
3120         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
3121         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
3122         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
3123

3133

3139
3140         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
3141         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
3142         source!
3143
3144 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

3149         symbols matching regexp.
3150
3151         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
3152         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
3153         in stack-ref).
3154
3155         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
3156         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
3157         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
3158         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
3159         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
3160         result protocol;

3175
3176         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
3177         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
3178         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
3179
3180         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
3181
3182         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
3183         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by

3197
3198         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
3199         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
3200         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
3201
3202         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
3203         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
3204         the top.
3205
3206         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
3207         order to narrow it correctly.

3216
3217         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
3218

3220
3221         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the

3223
3224 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3225
3226         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3227         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
3228         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
3229

3244
3245         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
3246         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide

3248
3249         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
3250

3258         make-regexp.
3259
3260 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3261
3262         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3263         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3264         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
3265         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3266         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3267         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3268
3269         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3270         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3271         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3272         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3273
3274 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3275
3276         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3277         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
3278         sending in bug reports.
3279         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3280         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3281         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3282         display a warning if the two are different.
3283         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3284         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3285         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

3287 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3288
3289         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
3290
3291 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3292
3293         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3294         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3295
3296         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3297         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3298         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3299         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3300         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3301         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3302         that's okay.
3303
3304         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
3305         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3306         regexp interface.
3307
3308         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3309         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
3310
3311         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3312         function names.
3313
3314         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3315         fixes.
3316
3317 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3318
3319         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3320         ../configure.in.
3321
3322 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3323
3324         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3325         vtable and not the one of the struct.
3326
3327 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3328
3329         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3330         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3331         to support printing of structures.
3332         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3333         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
3334         commented out printing code.
3335         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3336         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
3337
3338 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3339
3340         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3341
3342 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3343
3344         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3345         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3346         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3347         during call to scm-style-repl.
3348
3349 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3350
3351         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3352         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3353         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3354         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3355         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3356
3357 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3358
3359         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3360         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3361         (ice-9 regex).
3362
3363 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3364
3365         * regex.scm: New file.
3366         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3367         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3368
3369 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3370
3371         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
3372         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
3373         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
3374         threads.scm: New address for FSF.
3375
3376 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3377
3378         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
3379         in 1997.
3380
3381 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3382
3383         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3384         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3385         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3386
3387 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3388
3389         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3390         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3391         here.
3392
3393 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3394
3395         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3396
3397 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3398
3399         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3400
3401 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3402
3403         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3404         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3405         fixes this too.
3406
3407 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3408
3409         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3410         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3411         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3412
3413 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3414
3415         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3416         the Scheme code like code yet.
3417         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3418
3419 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3420
3421         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3422         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3423         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3424
3425 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3426
3427         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3428         use-modules macro
3429         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3430         can't be found.
3431
3432 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3433
3434         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3435
3436 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3437
3438         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3439
3440         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3441         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3442         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3443
3444 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3445
3446         Get 'make dist' to work again.
3447         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3448         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
3449
3450         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3451         no plugins.
3452         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3453         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3454
3455 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3456
3457         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
3458         functions.
3459
3460 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3461
3462         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
3463
3464 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3465
3466         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3467         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
3468
3469 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3470
3471         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3472         instead of in libguile.
3473         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3474         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3475
3476 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3477
3478         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3479         procedures.
3480         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3481         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3482
3483 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3484
3485         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3486         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3487
3488 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3489
3490         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3491         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3492         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3493         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3494
3495 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3496
3497         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3498         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3499
3500 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3501
3502         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3503
3504 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3505
3506         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3507         keywords and symbols.
3508
3509 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3510
3511         * slib.scm: update read usage.
3512
3513         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3514         Don't define read-sharp.
3515
3516         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3517         (read-sharp): removed.
3518         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3519         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3520
3521 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3522
3523         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3524
3525         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
3526         primitive procedure.)
3527
3528         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3529         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3530
3531 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3532
3533         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3534
3535 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3536
3537         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3538
3539 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3540
3541         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3542         read gets EOF.
3543         * (exit): alias for quit.
3544
3545 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3546
3547         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3548         return the quit args.
3549         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3550         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3551         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3552
3553         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3554
3555 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3556
3557         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3558
3559         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3560         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3561
3562         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3563         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3564
3565         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3566         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3567         of handlers.
3568
3569 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3570
3571         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3572
3573         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3574         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3575         Change hooks to use these functions.
3576
3577         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3578         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3579         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3580         the source! :-)
3581         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3582         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3583         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3584         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3585         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3586         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3587         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3588         traced.
3589
3590         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3591         and exit-frame exceptions.
3592
3593         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3594         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3595         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3596         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3597         result; otherwise display "> ".
3598         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3599
3600         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3601         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3602         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3603         repository version runnable.
3604
3605 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3606
3607         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3608         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3609         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3610         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3611         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3612         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3613
3614 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3615
3616         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3617         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3618         and eval.
3619         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3620         "defined?".
3621         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3622         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3623
3624 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3625
3626         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3627

3630         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3631         %read-sharp layer.
3632
3633 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3634
3635         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3636         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3637
3638 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3639
3640         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3641         backtrace.c.)
3642
3643 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3644
3645         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3646         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3647
3648 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3649
3650         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3651
3652         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3653         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3654         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3655         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3656         dynamic linking of modules.
3657         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3658         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3659
3660 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3661
3662         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3663
3664 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3665
3666         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3667         that's what it is.
3668
3669         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3670         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3671         was false.
3672
3673 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3674
3675         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3676         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3677         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3678
3679 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3680
3681         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3682         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
3683         yet.
3684
3685 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3686
3687         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3688         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3689         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3690
3691 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3692
3693         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3694         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3695         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3696         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3697
3698         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3699         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3700         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3701         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3702         (such as the-scm-module).
3703
3704 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3705
3706         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3707         %search-load-path.
3708
3709 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
3710
3711         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3712         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3713         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3714
3715 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3716
3717         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3718         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3719         function, use it accordingly.
3720
3721 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3722
3723         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
3724         function of no arguments.
3725         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3726         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3727         set-current-module): Uses changed.
3728         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3729         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3730         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3731         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3732         *top-level-eval-closure*.
3733
3734 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3735
3736         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3737         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3738
3739 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3740
3741         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3742         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3743         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
3744         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
3745         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3746
3747         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3748         `*features*'.
3749
3750         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3751         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
3752         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3753         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3754
3755         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3756
3757         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3758
3759         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3760         If the user wants to see this, he can do
3761         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3762
3763         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3764         error.
3765
3766         Added `before-read-hook'.
3767
3768         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3769
3770         (provide): New function.
3771
3772         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3773         in backtraces.
3774
3775         (backtrace): New function.
3776
3777         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3778         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3779         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
3780         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3781         is found in operator position in a frame.
3782
3783         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3784         by default.
3785
3786         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3787         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3788         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3789
3790         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
3791
3792         (library-vicinity): Updated.
3793
3794         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3795
3796         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3797
3798 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3799
3800         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3801
3802         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3803         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
3804
3805         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3806         so they'll get distributed.
3807
3808         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
3809         should see as little clutter as possible.
3810         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3811         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3812         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3813
3814         * r4rs.scm: New file.
3815         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3816         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3817         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3818         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3819         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3820         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3821         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3822         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3823         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3824         that are not.
3825         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3826         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3827
3828         * test.scm: New file.
3829
3830         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3831         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
3832         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3833
3834         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3835         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3836
3837         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3838         work now.
3839         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
3840         call %load-announce.
3841
3842 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3843
3844         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3845         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3846         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3847         components.
3848         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3849
3850 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3851
3852         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3853         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3854         SCSH (which this isn't).
3855
3856 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3857
3858         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3859
3860 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3861
3862         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3863         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3864         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3865         these.
3866         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
3867         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
3868         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3869         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3870         save-stack.
3871
3872 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3873
3874         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3875
3876         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3877
3878         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3879         error-catching-loop.
3880         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3881         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3882         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3883
3884         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3885         error-catching-loop.
3886
3887 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3888
3889         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3890         (make-module): Rework for readability.
3891         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3892         should be '(), not #f.
3893
3894         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3895         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3896
3897 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3898
3899         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3900         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3901         error-signal.
3902
3903 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3904
3905         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3906         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3907         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3908         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3909
3910 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3911
3912         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3913
3914 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3915
3916         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3917
3918         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3919         throw-handler-default.
3920         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3921         reported.
3922         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3923         acro.
3924         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3925         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3926
3927 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3928
3929         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3930         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3931         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3932         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3933
3934 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3935
3936         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3937         Append "." to the default %load-path.
3938         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3939         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3940         ...))
3941         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3942         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3943         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3944         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3945         file-is-directory?
3946
3947 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3948
3949         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3950
3951         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3952         distribution.
3953
3954         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3955         `switch-repl'.
3956
3957         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3958
3959 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3960
3961         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3962         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3963
3964 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3965
3966         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3967
3968         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3969
3970 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3971
3972         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
3973         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3974         Don't set up 'error as a key.
3975         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3976         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3977
3978         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3979         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3980         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3981         they seem redundant.
3982         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3983         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
3984         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3985         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
3986         directly files starting with "/").
3987         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3988         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3989
3990         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3991
3992 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3993
3994         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3995         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3996         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
3997         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3998         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3999         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
4000         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
4001         robust to just do it in the C code.

4003 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4004
4005         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
4006         %try-load itself was the primitive.
4007         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
4008         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
4009         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.

4011 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4012
4013         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
4014         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
4015         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
4016
4017 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4018
4019         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
4020         system-error, not every kind of error.
4021         (scm-error): new procedure.
4022
4023 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

4028
4029         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
4030         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
4031         of args are supplied.
4032         (%%system-errors): removed.
4033         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
4034         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
4035         %%handle-system-error.
4036         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
4037         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
4038         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
4039         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
4040
4041 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4042
4043         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
4044         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
4045         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
4046         %S (embed an argument using "write").
4047
4048 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4049
4050         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
4051         the empty list if they are #f.
4052         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
4053
4054 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4055
4056         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
4057
4058         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
4059         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
4060         aborting, just the key and subr.
4061         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
4062         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
4063         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.

4066
4067         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
4068         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
4069         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
4070         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
4071         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

4075         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
4076         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
4077         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
4078         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.

4084         initialize %load-path.
4085
4086         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
4087         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
4088
4089 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4090
4091         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
4092         Add the directory named after the version number.
4093         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
4094         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
4095         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
4096         sitedatadir): New definitions.

4103
4104         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
4105         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
4106         in the Makefile directly.
4107         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
4108         for these.
4109         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
4110         aux_files.

4112         here, where people expect to find them.

4140         (%open-file): removed.
4141         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
4142         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

4147         (manifest): Deleted.
4148         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

4152
