   1 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
   2
   3         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
   4         '() instead of #f.
   5         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
   6         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
   7         `the-root-module'.
   8         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
   9
  10         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
  11         documentation.scm.
  12
  13         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
  14         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
  15         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
  16         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
  17         (help): Rewritten.
  18
  19         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
  20
  21         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
  22
  23 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  24
  25         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
  26         (write-all): Removed.
  27         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
  28         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
  29
  30 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  31
  32         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
  33
  34 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  35
  36         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
  37         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
  38         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
  39         closure.
  40
  41 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  42
  43         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
  44         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
  45         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
  46         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
  47         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
  48         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
  49         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
  50
  51 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  52
  53         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
  54         accept complex numbers as parameter.
  55
  56 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  57
  58         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
  59         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
  60
  61 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  62
  63         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
  64         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
  65         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
  66         instead of remove-if when iterating.
  67         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
  68         delete-if! when iterating.
  69
  70 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  71
  72         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
  73
  74 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  75
  76         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
  77
  78 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  79
  80         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
  81         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
  82         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
  83         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
  84
  85 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  86
  87         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
  88         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
  89
  90 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  91
  92         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
  93         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
  94         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
  95         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
  96
  97 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
  98
  99         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 100         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 101
 102 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 103
 104         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 105         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 106
 107 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 108
 109         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 110         Dirk Hermann!
 111
 112 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 113
 114         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 115         source of the numerous very short changes.
 116
 117 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 118
 119         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 120         public.
 121
 122         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 123         info pages.
 124
 125 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 126
 127         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 128         from slib docs.
 129
 130 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 131
 132         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 133         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 134
 135 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 136
 137         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 138         to string-append.
 139
 140 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 141
 142         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 143         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 144         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 145
 146 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 147
 148         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 149         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 150         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 151         Narazaki for this change.
 152
 153 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 154
 155         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 156         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 157         %S.
 158
 159         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 160         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 161
 162 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 163
 164         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 165         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 166
 167 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 168
 169         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 170         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 171         use define-public to export from the module.
 172
 173 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 174
 175         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 176         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 177         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
 178
 179 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 180
 181         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
 182
 183 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 184
 185         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
 186         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
 187
 188 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 189
 190         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
 191
 192         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
 193
 194         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
 195
 196 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 197
 198         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
 199         long_long uniform vectors.
 200
 201 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 202
 203         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
 204         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
 205
 206 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 207
 208         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 209         script to create generated files like this one.
 210
 211 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 212
 213         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 214         available before using getpw and getuid.
 215         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
 216         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
 217         check for stat.
 218         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
 219         check for .guile, instead of stat.
 220         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
 221         available.
 222         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 223         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 224         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 225
 226         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 227         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 228
 229         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 230
 231 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 232
 233         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
 234         than 'exit-debugger.
 235
 236         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
 237         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
 238
 239         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
 240
 241 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 242
 243         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
 244         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
 245         ("position"): New command.
 246         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
 247         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
 248         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
 249         to return a valid state.)
 250         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
 251
 252 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 253
 254         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
 255         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 256         Badros.)
 257
 258 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 259
 260         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 261         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 262
 263 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 264
 265         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
 266
 267         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
 268
 269         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
 270         (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
 271
 272         * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
 273         display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
 274         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
 275         expression.
 276         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
 277         Handle errors.
 278
 279 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 280
 281         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 282         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 283
 284         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
 285
 286 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 287
 288         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 289         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 290         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 291         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 292
 293         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 294         argument.
 295
 296         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 297         both forward and backward views of the stack
 298         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 299         Use selector `frame-number';
 300         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 301         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 302         Use (ice-9 debug).
 303         Use readline conditionally.
 304
 305 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 306
 307         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 308         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 309         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 310
 311         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 312         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 313         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 314
 315 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 316
 317         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 318
 319         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 320
 321         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 322
 323         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 324
 325 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 326
 327         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 328         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 329         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 330         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 331         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 332         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 333         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 334         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 335         libguile-config-stamp.
 336         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 337         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 338         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 339         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 340         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 341
 342 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 343
 344         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 345         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 346         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 347
 348         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 349         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 350         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 351         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 352         readline.
 353
 354         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 355
 356 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 357
 358         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 359
 360 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 361
 362         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 363         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 364
 365 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 366
 367         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 368         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 369         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 370         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 371         objects starting with '#/'.
 372
 373 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

 375         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 376         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 377         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 378         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 379         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 380         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 381         `observer-id'.
 382         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 383         module-modified): New procedures.
 384         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 385         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 386
 387 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 388
 389         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 390         defines.
 391
 392 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 393
 394         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 395         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 396         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 397
 398         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 399         position.
 400
 401 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 402
 403         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 404         at multiple calls to read.
 405         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 406         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 407         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 408         continued-lines prompt.
 409
 410         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 411         reading expressions.
 412
 413 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 414
 415         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 416         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 417
 418 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 419
 420         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 421         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 422         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 423
 424         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 425
 426         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 427         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 428
 429         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 430         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 431         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 432         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 433         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 434         instead of a port.
 435
 436 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 437
 438         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 439         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 440
 441         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 442
 443         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 444         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 445         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 446         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 447
 448         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 449
 450         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 451
 452         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 453         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 454         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 455         an alist.
 456
 457         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 458
 459         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 460         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 461         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 462         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 463         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 464         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 465         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 466         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 467         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 468         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 469         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 470
 471         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 472
 473         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 474         peeked from the stream.
 475         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 476         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 477         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 478
 479         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 480
 481         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 482         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 483
 484         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 485
 486         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 487         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 488         exiting repl with single control-D.
 489
 490         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 491
 492         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 493         error catching loop after quit received.
 494         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 495
 496         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 497         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 498         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 499
 500         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 501         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 502         boot-9.scm.
 503         * popen.scm: new file.
 504
 505 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 506
 507        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 508        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 509
 510 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 511
 512         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 513         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 514
 515 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 516
 517         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 518         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 519         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 520         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 521         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 522
 523 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 524
 525         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 526
 527         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 528         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 529
 530         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 531         Guile's module system.
 532
 533         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 534         changes:
 535         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 536         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 537         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 538         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 539         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 540         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 541         modern CL behavior.
 542         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 543         '() when the condition is false.
 544
 545 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 546
 547         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 548
 549 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 550
 551         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 552
 553 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 554
 555         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 556         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 557         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 558
 559 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 560
 561         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 562         argument order for hash-fold.
 563
 564 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 565
 566         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 567         resolve-module.
 568         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 569         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 570
 571         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 572         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 573         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 574         has been added to the load path).
 575
 576         Use try-load-module.
 577
 578 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 579
 580         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 581         module between system and user state.
 582
 583 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 584
 585         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 586
 587         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 588         definition.
 589
 590 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 591
 592         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 593         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 594         system can create a wrapper class for it.
 595
 596 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 597
 598         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
 599         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
 600         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
 601         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
 602         stack frame encountered.
 603
 604         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
 605         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
 606         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
 607         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
 608         list).]
 609
 610         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
 611         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
 612         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
 613         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
 614         please tell me!]
 615
 616         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
 617         define-module switches:
 618
 619         (define-module (foo)
 620           :no-backtrace)
 621
 622         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
 623         modules.
 624
 625         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
 626         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
 627         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
 628         module it is a system frame.
 629
 630         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
 631         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
 632         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
 633         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
 634         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
 635
 636         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
 637         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
 638         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
 639         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
 640         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
 641         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
 642
 643         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
 644         status of a module.;
 645         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
 646         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
 647
 648         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
 649         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
 650         closure to the module.
 651
 652         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
 653
 654 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 661
 662 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 663
 664         Fix from Russ McManus:
 665         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
 666         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
 667         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
 668         either an optional or required value.
 669
 670 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 671
 672         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
 673
 674         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
 675         of the '() key, not `rest'.
 676
 677         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
 678         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
 679         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
 680         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

 685         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
 686         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
 687
 688 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 689
 690         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
 691         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
 692         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 693
 694 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 695
 696         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
 697         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
 698         for isn't loaded.
 699
 700 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 701
 702         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 703
 704 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 705
 706         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
 707         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
 708         applied to the module itself.
 709
 710 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 711
 712         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
 713
 714         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
 715         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
 716
 717 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 718
 719         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
 720

 723         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
 724
 725 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 726

 729
 730 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 731
 732         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
 733         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
 734         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
 735         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
 736         among BINDINGS is referenced.
 737         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
 738         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
 739
 740 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 741
 742         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
 743         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
 744
 745 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 746
 747         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
 748         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
 749         static libraries.
 750
 751 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 752
 753         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
 754
 755 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 756
 757         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
 758
 759 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 760
 761         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
 762         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
 763         adapt to the new hooks.
 764
 765 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 766
 767         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
 768         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
 769         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
 770         code.
 771         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
 772         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
 773
 774         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
 775         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
 776         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
 777         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
 778         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
 779         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
 780         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
 781         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
 782         first to register linked modules.
 783
 784         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
 785         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
 786         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
 787
 788         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
 789         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
 790         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
 791         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
 792
 793         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
 794         to use from C:
 795         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
 796         libguile/feature.c.
 797
 798         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
 799         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
 800         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
 801
 802 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 803
 804         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
 805         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
 806         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
 807
 808 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 809
 810         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
 811         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
 812         result of the last form.
 813
 814 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 815
 816         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
 817         syncase.scm.
 818
 819         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
 820
 821         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
 822         readline-set!: New options interface.
 823
 824         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
 825
 826 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 827
 828         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
 829         at the end of boot-9.scm.
 830
 831 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 832
 833         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
 834         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 835
 836 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 837
 838         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
 839         interactive session.
 840         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
 841
 842         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
 843         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
 844
 845 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 846
 847         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
 848
 849 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 850
 851         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
 852         read line was empty.
 853
 854 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 855
 856         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
 857         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
 858
 859         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
 860
 861         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
 862         problem.  Duh.
 863         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
 864         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
 865         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
 866
 867         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
 868         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
 869         into...
 870         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
 871         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
 872         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
 873
 874         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
 875         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
 876         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
 877         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
 878         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
 879         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
 880         psyntax.ss.
 881         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 882
 883         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 884         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 885
 886 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 887
 888         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
 889         and short vectors #h(...).
 890
 891 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 892
 893         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
 894         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
 895         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
 896
 897 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 898
 899         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
 900         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
 901         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
 902
 903 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 904
 905         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
 906         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
 907
 908         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
 909         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
 910         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
 911         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
 912
 913 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 914
 915         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
 916         trace flag.
 917
 918         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
 919         order to allow the empty list as arg.
 920         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
 921         context with traps enabled.
 922
 923 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 924
 925         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
 926         module.
 927         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
 928
 929 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 930
 931         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
 932         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
 933         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
 934         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
 935         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
 936
 937 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 938
 939         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
 940         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
 941
 942 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 943
 944         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
 945
 946 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 947
 948         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
 949
 950 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 951
 952         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
 953
 954 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 955
 956         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
 957         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
 958
 959 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 960
 961         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
 962         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
 963         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
 964         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
 965         Archibald.)
 966
 967         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
 968         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
 969         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
 970
 971 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 972
 973         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
 974         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
 975         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
 976         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
 977         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
 978         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
 979         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 980
 981 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 982
 983         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
 984
 985 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 986
 987         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
 988         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
 989         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
 990         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
 991         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
 992         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
 993
 994 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 995
 996         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
 997         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
 998         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
 999         Steven G. Johnson.)
1000
1001 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1002
1003         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1004
1005 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1006
1007         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1008
1009 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1010
1011         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1012         be completed.
1013
1014 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1015
1016         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1017
1018 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1019
1020         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1021         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1022
1023 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1024
1025         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1026         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1027         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1028         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1029         transformer.
1030         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1031         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1032
1033 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1034
1035         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1036
1037 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1038
1039         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1040         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1041         completion.
1042
1043         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1044         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1045
1046         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1047         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1048         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1049
1050         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1051
1052 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1053
1054         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1055
1056         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1057         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1058
1059 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1060
1061         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1062
1063 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1064
1065         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1066         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1067
1068         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1069
1070         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1071         obsolete.
1072
1073 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1074
1075         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1076         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1077
1078 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1079
1080         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1081
1082 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1083
1084         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1085         Stachowiak.)
1086
1087 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1088
1089         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1090         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1091         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1092         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1093         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1094         threads.
1095
1096 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1097
1098         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1099         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1100         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1101
1102 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1103
1104         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1105
1106         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1107         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1108
1109 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1110
1111         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1112         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1113         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1114         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1115         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1116         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1117         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1118         to go here.

1120 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1121
1122         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1123         is now a fluid.
1124
1125 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1126
1127         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1128         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1129         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1130         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1131         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1132         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1133
1134 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1135
1136         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1137         usefully so they will work from a script.
1138
1139 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1140
1141         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1142         neighborhood of the record code.
1143
1144 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1145
1146         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1147         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1148         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1149         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1150
1151 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1152
1153         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1154         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1155         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1156
1157 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1158
1159         Add support for readline function.
1160         * readline.scm: New module.
1161         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1162         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1163         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1164         anything.
1165         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1166         repl-reader to use them.
1167         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1168
1169         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1170
1171 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1172
1173         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1174         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1175
1176 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1177
1178         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1179         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1180         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1181
1182 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1183
1184         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1185         #f, abort terminates the process.
1186         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1187         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1188
1189 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1190
1191         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1192         print-state, throw it away.
1193
1194 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1195
1196         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1197         `0'.
1198
1199 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1200
1201         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1202         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1203         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1204         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1205         user field).
1206         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1207         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1208
1209 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1210
1211         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1212
1213 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1214
1215         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1216         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1217         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1218         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1219         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1220         boot-9.scm.
1221         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1222         distribution and installation.
1223         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1228
1229 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1230
1231         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1232         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1233         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1234
1235         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1236         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1237         symbol.
1238
1239 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1240
1241         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.

1247         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1248         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1249         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1250         field a separate argument.
1251
1252         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1253
1254 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1255
1256         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1257
1258         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1259         vicinity;
1260         Provide defmacro.
1261
1262 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1267
1268         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1269         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1270         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1271         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1272         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1273         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1274         registered.
1275         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1276         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1277         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1278         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1279         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1280         link a .so-file.

1292
1293         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1294
1295         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1296         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1297         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1298         expansion inside the slib module.
1299
1300         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1301         constructors.

1307         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
1308         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1309
1310         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1311         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1312         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1313         source.
1314         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1315         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1316         been loaded.
1317
1318 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

1325         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

1327         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1328         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1329         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1330         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1331         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1332         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1333         module.
1334         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1335
1336 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1337
1338         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1339
1340         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1341         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1342         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1343         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1344         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1345
1346         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1347         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1348         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1349         syncase macros.
1350         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1351         the syncase interface.
1352
1353 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1354
1355         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1356         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1357         workings of the current module system).
1358
1359 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1360
1361         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1362         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1363         off!
1364
1365 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1370
1371 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1372
1373         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1374         according to the following priorities:
1375         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1376         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1377         3. tcl bindings
1378         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1379         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1380         (new-interpreter): New function.
1381
1382         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1383         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1384         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

1401
1402         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1403         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1404         source!
1405
1406 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

1413         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
1414         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1415         in stack-ref).
1416
1417         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1418         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1419         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1420         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1421         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1422         result protocol;

1437
1438         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1439         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1440         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1441
1442         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1443

1457

1459
1460         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1461         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1462         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1463
1464         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1465         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1466         the top.
1467
1468         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1469         order to narrow it correctly.
1470         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1471
1472 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1473
1474         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.

1482
1483         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1484         builtin `with-fluids*'.
1485
1486 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1487
1488         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1489         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1490         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1491
1492 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1493
1494         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1495         automatically.
1496
1497 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1498
1499         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1500         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1501         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1502         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1503         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1504
1505 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1506
1507         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1508         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1509         a default of /.
1510
1511         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1512
1513 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1514
1515         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1516         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1517         notation, instead of #/ notation.
1518
1519         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
1520         make-regexp.
1521
1522 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1523
1524         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1525         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1526         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1527         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1528         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1529         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1530
1531         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1532         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1533         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1534         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1535
1536 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1537
1538         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1539         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1540         sending in bug reports.
1541         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1542         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1543         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1544         display a warning if the two are different.
1545         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1546         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1547         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1548
1549 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1550
1551         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1552
1553 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1554
1555         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1556         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1557
1558         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1559         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1560         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1561         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1562         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1563         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1564         that's okay.
1565
1566         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1567         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1568         regexp interface.
1569
1570         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1571         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
1572
1573         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1574         function names.
1575
1576         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1577         fixes.
1578
1579 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1580
1581         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1582         ../configure.in.
1583
1584 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1585
1586         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1587         vtable and not the one of the struct.
1588
1589 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1590
1591         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1592         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1593         to support printing of structures.
1594         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1595         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
1596         commented out printing code.
1597         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1598         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1599
1600 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1601
1602         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1603
1604 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1605
1606         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1607         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1608         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1609         during call to scm-style-repl.
1610
1611 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1612
1613         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1614         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1615         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1616         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
1617         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
1618
1619 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1620
1621         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1622         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1623         (ice-9 regex).
1624
1625 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1626
1627         * regex.scm: New file.
1628         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1629         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1630
1631 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1632
1633         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

1641         in 1997.
1642
1643 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1644
1645         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1646         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
1647         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1648
1649 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1650
1651         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1652         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1653         here.
1654
1655 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1656
1657         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

1664
1665         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1666         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1667         fixes this too.
1668
1669 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1670
1671         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1672         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1673         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
1674
1675 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1676
1677         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1678         the Scheme code like code yet.
1679         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1680
1681 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1682
1683         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1684         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
1685         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1686
1687 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1688
1689         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1690         use-modules macro
1691         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1692         can't be found.
1693
1694 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1695
1696         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1697
1698 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1699
1700         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1701
1702         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1703         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1704         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.

1713         no plugins.
1714         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1715         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1723
1724         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.

1726 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1727
1728         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1729         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).

1732
1733         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1734         instead of in libguile.
1735         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1736         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1737
1738 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1739

1741         procedures.

1745 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1746
1747         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1748         sockaddr:port): new functions.
1749
1750 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1751
1752         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1753         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1754         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1755         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1756
1757 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1758
1759         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1760         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1761

1769         keywords and symbols.
1770
1771 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

1779         (read-sharp): removed.
1780         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take

1794
1795         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1796
1797 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1798
1799         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1800
1801 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1802
1803         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1804         read gets EOF.
1805         * (exit): alias for quit.
1806
1807 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1808
1809         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1810         return the quit args.
1811         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1812         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
1813         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1814
1815         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1816
1817 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1818
1819         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1820
1821         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1822         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1823
1824         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1825         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1826
1827         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1828         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1829         of handlers.
1830
1831 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1832
1833         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1834
1835         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1836         (add-hooks!): New macro.
1837         Change hooks to use these functions.
1838
1839         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
1840         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1841         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1842         the source! :-)
1843         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1844         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1845         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1846         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
1847         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1848         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1849         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1850         traced.
1851
1852         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1853         and exit-frame exceptions.
1854
1855         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1856         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1857         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1858         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1859         result; otherwise display "> ".
1860         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1861
1862         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1863         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1864         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
1865         repository version runnable.
1866
1867 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1868
1869         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1870         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
1871         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1872         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1873         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1874         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1875
1876 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1877
1878         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1879         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1880         and eval.
1881         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1882         "defined?".
1883         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1884         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
1885
1886 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1887
1888         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1889
1890 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1891
1892         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1893         %read-sharp layer.
1894
1895 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1896
1897         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1898         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1899
1900 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1901
1902         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
1903         backtrace.c.)
1904
1905 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1906
1907         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1908         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1909
1910 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1911
1912         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1913
1914         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1915         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1916         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1917         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1918         dynamic linking of modules.
1919         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1920         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1921
1922 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1923
1924         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1925
1926 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1927
1928         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1929         that's what it is.
1930
1931         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1932         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
1933         was false.
1934
1935 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1936
1937         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1938         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1939         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1940
1941 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1942
1943         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1944         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
1945         yet.
1946
1947 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1948
1949         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1950         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1951         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1952
1953 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1954
1955         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1956         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1957         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1958         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1959
1960         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1961         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1962         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1963         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1964         (such as the-scm-module).
1965
1966 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1967
1968         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1969         %search-load-path.
1970
1971 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
1972
1973         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1974         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1975         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1976
1977 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1978
1979         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1980         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1981         function, use it accordingly.
1982
1983 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1984
1985         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
1986         function of no arguments.
1987         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1988         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1989         set-current-module): Uses changed.
1990         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1991         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1992         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1993         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1994         *top-level-eval-closure*.
1995
1996 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1997
1998         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1999         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2000
2001 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2002
2003         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2004         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2005         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2006         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2007         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2008
2009         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2010         `*features*'.
2011
2012         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2013         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2014         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2015         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2016
2017         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2018
2019         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2020
2021         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2022         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2023         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2024
2025         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2026         error.
2027
2028         Added `before-read-hook'.
2029
2030         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2031
2032         (provide): New function.
2033
2034         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2035         in backtraces.
2036
2037         (backtrace): New function.
2038
2039         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2040         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2041         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2042         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2043         is found in operator position in a frame.
2044
2045         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2046         by default.
2047
2048         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2049         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2050         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2051
2052         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2053
2054         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2055
2056         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2057
2058         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2059
2060 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2061
2062         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2063
2064         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2065         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2066
2067         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2068         so they'll get distributed.
2069
2070         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2071         should see as little clutter as possible.
2072         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2073         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2074         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2075
2076         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2077         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2078         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2079         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2080         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2081         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2082         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2083         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2084         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2085         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2086         that are not.
2087         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2088         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2089
2090         * test.scm: New file.
2091
2092         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2093         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2094         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2095
2096         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2097         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2098
2099         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2100         work now.
2101         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2102         call %load-announce.
2103
2104 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2105
2106         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2107         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2108         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2109         components.
2110         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2111
2112 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2113
2114         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2115         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2116         SCSH (which this isn't).
2117
2118 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2119
2120         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2121
2122 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2123
2124         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2125         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2126         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2127         these.
2128         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2129         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2130         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2131         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2132         save-stack.
2133
2134 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2135
2136         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2137
2138         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2139
2140         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2141         error-catching-loop.
2142         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2143         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2144         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2145
2146         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2147         error-catching-loop.
2148
2149 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2150
2151         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2152         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2153         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2154         should be '(), not #f.
2155
2156         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2157         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2158
2159 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2160
2161         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2162         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2163         error-signal.
2164
2165 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2166
2167         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2168         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2169         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2170         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2171
2172 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2173
2174         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2175
2176 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2177
2178         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2179
2180         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2181         throw-handler-default.
2182         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2183         reported.
2184         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2185         acro.
2186         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2187         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2188
2189 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2190
2191         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2192         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2193         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2194         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2195
2196 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2197
2198         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2199         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2200         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2201         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2202         ...))
2203         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2204         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2205         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2206         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2207         file-is-directory?
2208
2209 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2210
2211         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2212
2213         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2214         distribution.
2215
2216         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2217         `switch-repl'.
2218
2219         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2220
2221 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2222
2223         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2224         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2225
2226 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2227
2228         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2229
2230         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2231
2232 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2233
2234         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2235         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2236         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2237         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2238         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2239
2240         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2241         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2242         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2243         they seem redundant.
2244         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2245         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2246         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2247         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2248         directly files starting with "/").
2249         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2250         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2251
2252         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2253
2254 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2255
2256         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2257         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2258         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2259         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2260         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2261         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2262         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2263         robust to just do it in the C code.
2264
2265 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2266
2267         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2268         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2269         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2270         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2271         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2272
2273 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2274
2275         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2276         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2277         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2278
2279 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2280
2281         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2282         system-error, not every kind of error.
2283         (scm-error): new procedure.
2284
2285 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2286
2287         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2288
2289 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2290
2291         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2292         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
2293         of args are supplied.
2294         (%%system-errors): removed.
2295         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2296         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2297         %%handle-system-error.
2298         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2299         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2300         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2301         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2302
2303 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2304
2305         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2306         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2307         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2308         %S (embed an argument using "write").
2309
2310 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2311
2312         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2313         the empty list if they are #f.
2314         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2315
2316 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2317
2318         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2319
2320         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2321         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2322         aborting, just the key and subr.
2323         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2324         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2325         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2326
2327 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2328
2329         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2330         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2331         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2332         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2333         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2334
2335 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2336
2337         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2338         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2339         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2340         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2341
2342 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2343
2344         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2345         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2346         initialize %load-path.
2347
2348         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2349         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2350
2351 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2352
2353         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2354         Add the directory named after the version number.
2355         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2356         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2357         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2358         sitedatadir): New definitions.
2359         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

2364 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2365
2366         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2367         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2368         in the Makefile directly.
2369         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2370         for these.
2371         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2372         aux_files.

2374         here, where people expect to find them.

2379         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2380
2381         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2382
2383 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2384
2385         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2386         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)

2403         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2404         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

2406 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2407
2408         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2409         (manifest): Deleted.
2410         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2411         directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2412
2413 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2414
2415         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2416         now that they throw errors directly.
2417         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2418         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2419
2420 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2421
2422         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2423
