1 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
3 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
4 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
5 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
7 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
8 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
11 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
13 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
15 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
17 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
19 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
21 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
23 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
24 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
25 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
26 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
27 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
28 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
29 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
30 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
31 libguile-config-stamp.
32 * version.scm.in: Delete.
33 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
34 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
35 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
36 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
38 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
40 * * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
41 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
42 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
43 Use readline conditionally.
45 * * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
46 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
47 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
48 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
51 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
53 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
55 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
57 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
59 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
60 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
62 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
64 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
65 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
66 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
67 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
68 objects starting with '#/'.
70 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
72 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
73 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
74 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
75 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
76 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
77 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
79 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
80 module-modified): New procedures.
81 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
82 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
84 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
86 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
89 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
91 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
92 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
93 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
95 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
98 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
100 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
101 at multiple calls to read.
102 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
103 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
104 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
105 continued-lines prompt.
107 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
110 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
112 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
113 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
115 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
117 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
118 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
121 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
123 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
124 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
126 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
127 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
128 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
129 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
130 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
133 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
135 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
136 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
138 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
140 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
141 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
142 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
143 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
145 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
147 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
149 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
150 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
151 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
154 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
156 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
157 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
158 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
159 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
160 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
161 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
162 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
163 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
164 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
165 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
166 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
168 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
170 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
171 peeked from the stream.
172 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
173 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
174 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
176 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
178 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
179 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
181 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
183 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
184 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
185 exiting repl with single control-D.
187 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
189 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
190 error catching loop after quit received.
191 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
193 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
194 primitive exit if non-interactive.
195 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
197 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
198 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
200 * popen.scm: new file.
202 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
204 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
205 (reverse-iota): removed.
207 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
209 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
210 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
212 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
214 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
215 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
216 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
217 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
218 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
220 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
222 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
224 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
225 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
227 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
228 Guile's module system.
230 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
232 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
233 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
234 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
235 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
236 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
237 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
239 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
240 '() when the condition is false.
242 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
244 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
246 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
248 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
250 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
252 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
253 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
254 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
256 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
258 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
259 argument order for hash-fold.
261 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
263 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
265 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
266 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
268 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
269 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
270 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
271 has been added to the load path).
275 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
277 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
278 module between system and user state.
280 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
282 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
284 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
287 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
289 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
290 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
291 system can create a wrapper class for it.
293 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
295 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
296 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
297 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
298 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
299 stack frame encountered.
301 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
302 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
303 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
304 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
307 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
308 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
309 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
310 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
313 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
314 define-module switches:
319 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
322 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
323 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
324 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
325 module it is a system frame.
327 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
328 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
329 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
330 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
331 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
333 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
334 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
335 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
336 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
337 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
338 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
340 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
342 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
343 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
345 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
346 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
347 closure to the module.
349 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
351 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
353 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
355 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
357 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
359 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
361 Fix from Russ McManus:
362 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
363 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
364 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
365 either an optional or required value.
367 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
369 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
371 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
372 of the '() key, not `rest'.
374 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
375 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
376 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
377 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
379 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
381 * optargs.scm: New file.
382 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
383 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
385 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
387 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
388 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.

394 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
397 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
399 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
401 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
403 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
404 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
405 applied to the module itself.
407 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
409 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
411 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
412 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
414 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
416 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
418 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
420 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
422 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
424 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
425 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
427 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
429 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
430 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
431 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
432 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
433 among BINDINGS is referenced.
434 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
435 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
437 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
439 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
440 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
442 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
444 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
445 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
448 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
450 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
452 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
454 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
456 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
458 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
459 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
460 adapt to the new hooks.
462 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
464 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
465 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
466 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
468 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
469 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
471 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
472 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
473 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
474 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
475 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
476 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
477 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
478 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
479 first to register linked modules.
481 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
482 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
483 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
485 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
486 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
487 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
488 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
490 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
492 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
495 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
496 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
497 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
499 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
501 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
502 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
503 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
505 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
507 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
508 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
509 result of the last form.
511 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
513 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
516 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
518 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
519 readline-set!: New options interface.
521 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
523 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
525 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
526 at the end of boot-9.scm.
528 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
530 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
531 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
533 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
535 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
537 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
539 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
540 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
542 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
544 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
546 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
548 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
551 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
553 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
554 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
556 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
558 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
560 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
561 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
562 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
564 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
565 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
567 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
568 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
569 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
571 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
572 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
573 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
574 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
575 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
576 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
578 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
580 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
581 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
583 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
585 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
586 and short vectors #h(...).
588 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
590 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
591 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
592 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
594 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
596 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
597 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
598 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
600 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
602 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
603 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
605 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
606 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
607 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
608 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
610 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
612 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
615 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
616 order to allow the empty list as arg.
617 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
618 context with traps enabled.
620 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
622 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
624 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
626 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
628 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
629 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
630 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
631 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
632 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
634 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
636 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
637 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
639 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
641 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
643 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
645 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
647 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
649 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
651 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
653 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
654 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
656 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
658 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
659 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
660 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
661 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
664 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
665 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
666 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
668 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
670 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
671 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
672 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
673 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
674 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
675 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
676 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
678 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
680 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
682 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
684 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
685 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
686 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
687 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
688 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
689 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
691 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
693 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
694 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
695 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
698 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
700 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
702 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
704 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
706 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
708 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
711 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
713 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
715 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
717 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
718 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
720 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
722 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
723 similar in use to `use-modules'.
724 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
725 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
727 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
728 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
730 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
732 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
734 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
736 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
737 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
740 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
741 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
743 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
744 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
745 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
747 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
749 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
751 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
753 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
754 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
756 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
758 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
760 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
762 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
763 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
765 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
767 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
770 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
772 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
773 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
775 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
777 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
779 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
781 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
784 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
786 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
787 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
788 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
789 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
790 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
793 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
795 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
796 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
797 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
799 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
801 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
803 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
804 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
806 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
808 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
809 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
810 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
811 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
812 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
813 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
814 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
817 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
819 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
822 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
824 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
825 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
826 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
827 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
828 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
829 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
831 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
833 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
834 usefully so they will work from a script.
836 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
838 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
839 neighborhood of the record code.
841 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
843 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
844 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
845 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
846 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
848 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
850 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
851 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
852 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
854 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
856 Add support for readline function.
857 * readline.scm: New module.
858 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
859 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
860 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
862 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
863 repl-reader to use them.
864 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
866 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
868 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
870 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
871 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
873 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
875 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
876 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
877 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
879 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
881 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
882 #f, abort terminates the process.
883 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
884 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
886 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
888 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
889 print-state, throw it away.
891 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
893 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
896 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
898 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
899 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
900 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
901 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
903 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
904 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
906 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
908 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
910 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
912 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
913 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
914 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
915 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
916 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
918 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
919 distribution and installation.
920 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
922 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
924 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
926 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
928 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
929 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
930 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
932 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
933 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
936 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
938 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
940 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
942 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
944 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
945 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
946 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
947 field a separate argument.
949 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
951 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
953 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
955 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
959 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
961 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
963 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
965 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
966 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
967 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
968 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
969 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
970 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
972 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
973 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
974 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
975 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
976 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
979 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
981 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
983 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
985 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
986 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
988 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
990 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
992 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
993 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
994 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
995 expansion inside the slib module.
997 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
999 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1000 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
1001 (let): New core form.
1002 (if): Removed from core language.
1003 (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
1004 (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
1005 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1007 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1008 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1009 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1011 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1012 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1015 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1017 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1018 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1020 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1022 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1023 (make-module): Modified initialization.
1024 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1025 mutator for module-associated transformer.
1026 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1027 `scm:eval-transformer'.
1028 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1029 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1031 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1033 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1035 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1037 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1038 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1039 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1040 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1041 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1043 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1044 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1045 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1047 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1048 the syncase interface.
1050 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1052 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1053 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1054 workings of the current module system).
1056 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1058 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1059 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1062 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1064 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1065 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1066 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1068 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1070 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1071 according to the following priorities:
1072 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1073 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1075 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1076 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1077 (new-interpreter): New function.
1079 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1080 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1081 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1083 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1085 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1087 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1089 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
1091 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1093 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1095 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
1097 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1099 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1100 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
1103 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1105 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1106 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
1107 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
1108 symbols matching regexp.
1110 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
1111 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1114 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1115 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1116 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);

1118 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1120 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1121 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1123 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1125 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1126 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1128 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1129 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1131 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1133 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1135 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1136 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1137 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.

1143 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1145 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1147 * session.scm: New file: Session support.
1148 (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.
1150 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1152 * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
1155 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1157 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1158 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1159 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1161 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1162 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1165 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1166 order to narrow it correctly.
1167 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1169 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1171 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
1172 (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
1174 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1176 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1178 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1180 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1181 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1183 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1185 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1186 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1187 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1189 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1191 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1194 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1196 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1197 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1198 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1199 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1200 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1202 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1204 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1205 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1208 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1210 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1212 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1213 poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1214 notation, instead of #/ notation.
1216 * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
1219 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1221 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1222 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1223 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1224 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1225 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1226 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1228 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1229 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1230 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1231 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1233 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1235 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1236 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1237 sending in bug reports.
1238 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1239 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1240 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1241 display a warning if the two are different.
1242 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1243 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1244 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1246 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1248 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1250 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1252 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1253 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1255 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1256 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1257 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1258 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1259 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1260 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1263 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1264 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1267 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1268 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1270 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1273 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1276 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1278 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1281 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1283 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1284 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1286 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1288 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1289 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1290 to support printing of structures.
1291 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1292 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1293 commented out printing code.
1294 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1295 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1297 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1299 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1301 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1303 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1304 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1305 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1306 during call to scm-style-repl.
1308 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1310 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1311 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1312 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1313 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1314 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1316 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1318 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1319 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1322 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1324 * regex.scm: New file.
1325 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1326 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1328 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1330 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1331 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1332 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1333 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1335 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1337 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1340 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1342 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1343 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1344 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1346 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1348 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1349 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1352 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1354 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1356 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1358 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1360 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1362 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1363 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1366 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1368 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1369 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1370 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1372 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1374 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1375 the Scheme code like code yet.
1376 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1378 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1380 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1381 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1382 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1384 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1386 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1388 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1391 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1393 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1395 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1397 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1399 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1400 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1401 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1403 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1405 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1406 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1407 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1409 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1411 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1412 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1414 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1416 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1419 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1421 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1423 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1425 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1426 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1428 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1430 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1431 instead of in libguile.
1432 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1433 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1435 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1437 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1439 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1440 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1442 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1444 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1445 sockaddr:port): new functions.
1447 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1449 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1450 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1451 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1452 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1454 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1456 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1457 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1459 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1461 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1463 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1465 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1466 keywords and symbols.
1468 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1470 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1472 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1473 Don't define read-sharp.
1475 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1476 (read-sharp): removed.
1477 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1478 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1480 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1482 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1484 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
1485 primitive procedure.)
1487 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1488 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1490 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1492 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1494 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1496 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1498 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1500 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1502 * (exit): alias for quit.
1504 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1506 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1507 return the quit args.
1508 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1509 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1510 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1512 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1514 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1516 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1518 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1519 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1521 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1522 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1524 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1525 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1528 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1530 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1532 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1533 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1534 Change hooks to use these functions.
1536 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1537 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1538 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1540 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1541 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1542 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1543 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1544 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1545 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1546 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1549 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1550 and exit-frame exceptions.
1552 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1553 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1554 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1555 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1556 result; otherwise display "> ".
1557 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1559 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1560 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1561 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1562 repository version runnable.
1564 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1566 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1567 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1568 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1569 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1570 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1571 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1573 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1575 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1576 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1578 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1580 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1581 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1583 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1585 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1587 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1589 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1592 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1594 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1595 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1597 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1599 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1602 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1604 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1605 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1607 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1609 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1611 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1612 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1613 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1614 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1615 dynamic linking of modules.
1616 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1617 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1619 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1621 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1623 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1625 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1628 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1629 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1632 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1634 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1635 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1636 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1638 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1640 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1641 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1644 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1646 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1647 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1648 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1650 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1652 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1653 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1654 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1655 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1657 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1658 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1659 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1660 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1661 (such as the-scm-module).
1663 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1665 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1668 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1670 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1671 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1672 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1674 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1676 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1677 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1678 function, use it accordingly.
1680 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1682 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1683 function of no arguments.
1684 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1685 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1686 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1687 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1688 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1689 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1690 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1691 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1693 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1695 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1696 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1698 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1700 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1701 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1702 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1703 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1704 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1706 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1709 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1710 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1711 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1712 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1714 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1716 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1718 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1719 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1720 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1722 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1725 Added `before-read-hook'.
1727 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1729 (provide): New function.
1731 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1734 (backtrace): New function.
1736 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1737 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1738 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1739 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1740 is found in operator position in a frame.
1742 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1745 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1746 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1747 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1749 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1751 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1753 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1755 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1757 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1759 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1761 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1762 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
1764 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1765 so they'll get distributed.
1767 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
1768 should see as little clutter as possible.
1769 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1770 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1771 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1773 * r4rs.scm: New file.
1774 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1775 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1776 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1777 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1778 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1779 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1780 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1781 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1782 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1784 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1785 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1787 * test.scm: New file.
1789 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1790 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
1791 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1793 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1794 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1796 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1798 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
1799 call %load-announce.
1801 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1803 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1804 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1805 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1807 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1809 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1811 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1812 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1813 SCSH (which this isn't).
1815 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1817 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1819 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1821 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1822 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1823 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1825 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
1826 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
1827 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1828 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1831 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1833 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1835 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1837 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1838 error-catching-loop.
1839 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1840 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1841 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1843 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1844 error-catching-loop.
1846 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1848 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1849 (make-module): Rework for readability.
1850 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1851 should be '(), not #f.
1853 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1854 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1856 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1858 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1859 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1862 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1864 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1865 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1866 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1867 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1869 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1871 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1873 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1875 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1877 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1878 throw-handler-default.
1879 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1881 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1883 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1884 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1886 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1888 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1889 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1890 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1891 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1893 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1895 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1896 Append "." to the default %load-path.
1897 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1898 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1900 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1901 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1902 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1903 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1906 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1908 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1910 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1913 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1916 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1918 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1920 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1921 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1923 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1925 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1927 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1929 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1931 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
1932 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1933 Don't set up 'error as a key.
1934 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1935 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1937 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1938 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1939 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1940 they seem redundant.
1941 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1942 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
1943 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1944 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
1945 directly files starting with "/").
1946 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1947 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1949 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1951 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1953 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1954 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1955 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
1956 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1957 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1958 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1959 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
1960 robust to just do it in the C code.
1962 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1964 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
1965 %try-load itself was the primitive.
1966 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
1967 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
1968 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
1970 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1972 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
1973 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
1974 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
1976 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1978 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
1979 system-error, not every kind of error.
1980 (scm-error): new procedure.
1982 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1984 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1986 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1988 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
1989 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
1990 of args are supplied.
1991 (%%system-errors): removed.
1992 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
1993 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
1994 %%handle-system-error.
1995 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
1996 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
1997 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
1998 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2000 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2002 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2003 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2004 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2005 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2007 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2009 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2010 the empty list if they are #f.
2011 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2013 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2015 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2017 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2018 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2019 aborting, just the key and subr.
2020 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2021 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2022 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2024 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2026 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2027 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2028 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2029 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2030 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2032 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2034 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2035 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2036 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2037 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2039 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2041 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2042 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2043 initialize %load-path.
2045 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2046 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2048 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2050 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2051 Add the directory named after the version number.
2052 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2053 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2054 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2055 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2056 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2057 (install): Create the above directories.
2058 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2059 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2061 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2063 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2064 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2065 in the Makefile directly.
2066 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2068 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2070 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2071 here, where people expect to find them.
2073 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2075 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2076 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2078 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2080 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2082 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2083 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2085 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2087 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2088 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2090 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2091 weak-key-hash-table.
2093 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2095 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2096 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2097 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2098 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2099 (%open-file): removed.
2100 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2101 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

2105 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2106 (manifest): Deleted.
2107 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2108 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
