   5         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
   6
   7         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
   8         position.
   9
  10 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
  11
  12         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
  13         at multiple calls to read.
  14         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
  15         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
  16         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
  17         continued-lines prompt.
  18
  19         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
  20         reading expressions.
  21
  22 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
  23
  24         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
  25         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
  26
  27 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
  28
  29         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
  30         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
  31         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
  32
  33         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
  34
  35         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
  36         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
  37
  38         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
  39         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
  40         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
  41         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
  42         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
  43         instead of a port.
  44
  45 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
  46
  47         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
  48         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
  49
  50         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
  51
  52         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
  53         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
  54         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
  55         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
  56
  57         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
  58
  59         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
  60
  61         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
  62         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
  63         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
  64         an alist.
  65
  66         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
  67
  68         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
  69         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
  70         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
  71         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
  72         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
  73         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
  74         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
  75         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
  76         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
  77         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
  78         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
  79
  80         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
  81
  82         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
  83         peeked from the stream.
  84         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
  85         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
  86         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
  87
  88         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
  89
  90         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
  91         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
  92
  93         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
  94
  95         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
  96         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
  97         exiting repl with single control-D.
  98
  99         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 100
 101         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 102         error catching loop after quit received.
 103         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 104
 105         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 106         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 107         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 108
 109         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 110         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 111         boot-9.scm.
 112         * popen.scm: new file.
 113
 114 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 115
 116        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 117        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 118
 119 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 120
 121         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 122         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 123
 124 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 125
 126         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 127         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 128         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 129         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 130         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 131
 132 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 133
 134         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 135
 136         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 137         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 138
 139         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 140         Guile's module system.
 141
 142         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 143         changes:
 144         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 145         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 146         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 147         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 148         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 149         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 150         modern CL behavior.
 151         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 152         '() when the condition is false.
 153
 154 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 155
 156         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 157
 158 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 159
 160         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 161
 162 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 163
 164         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 165         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 166         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 167
 168 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 169
 170         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 171         argument order for hash-fold.
 172
 173 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 174
 175         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 176         resolve-module.
 177         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 178         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 179
 180         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 181         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 182         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 183         has been added to the load path).
 184
 185         Use try-load-module.
 186
 187 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 188
 189         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 190         module between system and user state.
 191
 192 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 193
 194         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 195
 196         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 197         definition.
 198
 199 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 200
 201         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 202         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 203         system can create a wrapper class for it.
 204
 205 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 206
 207         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
 208         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
 209         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
 210         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
 211         stack frame encountered.
 212
 213         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
 214         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
 215         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
 216         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
 217         list).]
 218
 219         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
 220         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
 221         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
 222         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
 223         please tell me!]
 224
 225         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
 226         define-module switches:
 227
 228         (define-module (foo)
 229           :no-backtrace)
 230
 231         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
 232         modules.
 233
 234         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
 235         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
 236         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
 237         module it is a system frame.
 238
 239         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
 240         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
 241         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
 242         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
 243         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
 244
 245         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
 246         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
 247         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
 248         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
 249         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
 250         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
 251
 252         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
 253         status of a module.;
 254         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
 255         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
 256
 257         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
 258         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
 259         closure to the module.
 260
 261         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
 262
 263 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 264
 265         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
 266
 267 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 268
 269         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
 270
 271 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 272
 273         Fix from Russ McManus:
 274         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
 275         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
 276         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
 277         either an optional or required value.
 278
 279 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 280
 281         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
 282
 283         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
 284         of the '() key, not `rest'.
 285
 286         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
 287         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
 288         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
 289         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 290
 291 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 292
 293         * optargs.scm: New file.
 294         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
 295         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
 296
 297 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 298
 299         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
 300         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
 301         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 302
 303 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 304
 305         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
 306         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
 307         for isn't loaded.
 308
 309 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 310
 311         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 312
 313 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 314
 315         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
 316         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
 317         applied to the module itself.
 318
 319 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 320
 321         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
 322
 323         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
 324         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
 325
 326 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 327
 328         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
 329
 330 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 331
 332         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
 333
 334 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 335
 336         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
 337         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
 338
 339 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 340
 341         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
 342         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
 343         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
 344         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
 345         among BINDINGS is referenced.
 346         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
 347         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
 348
 349 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 350
 351         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
 352         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
 353
 354 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 355
 356         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
 357         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
 358         static libraries.
 359
 360 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 361
 362         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
 363
 364 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 365
 366         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
 367
 368 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 369
 370         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
 371         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
 372         adapt to the new hooks.
 373
 374 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 375
 376         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
 377         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
 378         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
 379         code.
 380         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
 381         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
 382
 383         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
 384         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
 385         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
 386         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
 387         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
 388         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
 389         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
 390         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
 391         first to register linked modules.
 392
 393         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
 394         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
 395         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
 396
 397         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
 398         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
 399         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
 400         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
 401
 402         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
 403         to use from C:
 404         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
 405         libguile/feature.c.
 406
 407         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
 408         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
 409         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
 410
 411 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 412
 413         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
 414         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
 415         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
 416
 417 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 418
 419         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
 420         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
 421         result of the last form.
 422
 423 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 424
 425         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
 426         syncase.scm.
 427
 428         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
 429
 430         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
 431         readline-set!: New options interface.
 432
 433         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
 434
 435 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 436
 437         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
 438         at the end of boot-9.scm.
 439
 440 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 441
 442         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
 443         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 444
 445 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 446
 447         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
 448         interactive session.
 449         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
 450
 451         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
 452         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
 453
 454 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 455
 456         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
 457
 458 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 459
 460         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
 461         read line was empty.
 462
 463 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 464
 465         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
 466         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
 467
 468         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
 469
 470         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
 471         problem.  Duh.
 472         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
 473         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
 474         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
 475
 476         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
 477         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
 478         into...
 479         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
 480         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
 481         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
 482
 483         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
 484         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
 485         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
 486         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
 487         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
 488         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
 489         psyntax.ss.
 490         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 491
 492         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 493         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 494
 495 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 496
 497         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
 498         and short vectors #h(...).
 499
 500 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 501
 502         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
 503         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
 504         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
 505
 506 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 507
 508         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
 509         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
 510         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
 511
 512 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 513
 514         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
 515         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
 516
 517         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
 518         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
 519         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
 520         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
 521
 522 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 523
 524         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
 525         trace flag.
 526
 527         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
 528         order to allow the empty list as arg.
 529         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
 530         context with traps enabled.
 531
 532 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 533
 534         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
 535         module.
 536         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
 537
 538 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 539
 540         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
 541         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
 542         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
 543         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
 544         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
 545
 546 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 547
 548         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
 549         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
 550
 551 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 552
 553         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
 554
 555 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 556
 557         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
 558
 559 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 560
 561         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
 562
 563 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 564
 565         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
 566         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
 567
 568 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 569
 570         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
 571         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
 572         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
 573         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
 574         Archibald.)
 575
 576         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
 577         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
 578         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
 579
 580 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 581
 582         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
 583         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
 584         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
 585         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
 586         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
 587         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
 588         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 589
 590 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 591
 592         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
 593
 594 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 595
 596         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
 597         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
 598         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
 599         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
 600         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
 601         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
 602
 603 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 604
 605         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
 606         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
 607         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
 608         Steven G. Johnson.)
 609
 610 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 611
 612         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
 613
 614 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 615
 616         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
 617
 618 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 619
 620         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
 621         be completed.
 622
 623 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 624
 625         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
 626
 627 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 628
 629         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
 630         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
 631
 632 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 633
 634         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
 635         similar in use to `use-modules'.
 636         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
 637         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
 638         transformer.
 639         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
 640         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
 641
 642 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 643
 644         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
 645
 646 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 647
 648         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
 649         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
 650         completion.
 651
 652         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
 653         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
 654
 655         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
 656         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
 657         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
 658
 659         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
 660
 661 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 662
 663         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
 664
 665         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
 666         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
 667
 668 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 669
 670         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
 671
 672 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 673
 674         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
 675         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
 676
 677         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
 678
 679         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
 680         obsolete.
 681
 682 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 683
 684         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
 685         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
 686
 687 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 688
 689         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
 690
 691 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 692
 693         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
 694         Stachowiak.)
 695
 696 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 697
 698         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
 699         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
 700         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
 701         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
 702         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
 703         threads.
 704
 705 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 706
 707         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
 708         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
 709         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
 710
 711 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 712
 713         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
 714
 715         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
 716         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
 717
 718 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 719
 720         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
 721         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
 722         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
 723         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
 724         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
 725         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
 726         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
 727         to go here.
 728
 729 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 730
 731         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
 732         is now a fluid.
 733
 734 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 735
 736         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
 737         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
 738         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
 739         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
 740         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
 741         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
 742

 745         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
 746         usefully so they will work from a script.
 747
 748 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 749
 750         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
 751         neighborhood of the record code.
 752
 753 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 754
 755         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
 756         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
 757         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
 758         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
 759
 760 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 761
 762         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
 763         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
 764         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 765
 766 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 767
 768         Add support for readline function.
 769         * readline.scm: New module.
 770         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
 771         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
 772         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
 773         anything.
 774         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
 775         repl-reader to use them.
 776         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
 777
 778         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
 779
 780 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 781
 782         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 783         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
 784
 785 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 786
 787         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
 788         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
 789         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
 790
 791 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 792
 793         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
 794         #f, abort terminates the process.
 795         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
 796         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
 797
 798 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 799
 800         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
 801         print-state, throw it away.
 802

 804
 805         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
 806         `0'.

 809
 810         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
 811         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
 812         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
 813         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
 814         user field).
 815         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
 816         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
 817
 818 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 819
 820         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
 821
 822 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 823
 824         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
 825         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
 826         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
 827         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 828         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
 829         boot-9.scm.
 830         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
 831         distribution and installation.
 832         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 833
 834 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

 837
 838 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 839
 840         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
 841         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
 842         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
 843
 844         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
 845         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
 846         symbol.
 847
 848 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 849
 850         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
 851
 852         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
 853
 854 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 855
 856         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
 857         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
 858         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
 859         field a separate argument.
 860
 861         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
 862
 863 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 864
 865         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
 866
 867         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
 868         vicinity;
 869         Provide defmacro.
 870
 871 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 874
 875 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 876
 877         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
 878         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
 879         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
 880         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
 881         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
 882         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
 883         registered.
 884         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
 885         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
 886         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
 887         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
 888         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
 889         link a .so-file.
 890
 891 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 899
 900 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 901
 902         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
 903
 904         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
 905         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
 906         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
 907         expansion inside the slib module.
 908
 909         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
 910         constructors.

 916         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
 917         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
 918
 919         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
 920         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
 921         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
 922         source.
 923         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
 924         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
 925         been loaded.
 926
 927 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

 934         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
 935         (make-module): Modified initialization.
 936         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
 937         mutator for module-associated transformer.
 938         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
 939         `scm:eval-transformer'.
 940         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
 941         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
 942         module.
 943         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
 944
 945 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 946
 947         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
 948
 949         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
 950         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
 951         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
 952         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
 953         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
 954
 955         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
 956         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
 957         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
 958         syncase macros.
 959         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
 960         the syncase interface.
 961
 962 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 963
 964         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
 965         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
 966         workings of the current module system).
 967
 968 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 969
 970         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
 971         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
 972         off!
 973

 979
 980 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 981
 982         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
 983         according to the following priorities:
 984         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
 985         2. bindings from the-scm-module
 986         3. tcl bindings
 987         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
 988         disabling the scheme interpreter.
 989         (new-interpreter): New function.
 990
 991         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
 992         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
 993         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
 994
 995 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

1010
1011         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1012         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1013         source!
1014

1026         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1027         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1028         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1029         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1030         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1031         result protocol;

1046
1047         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1048         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1049         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1050
1051         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.

1068
1069         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1070         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1071         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1072
1073         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1074         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1075         the top.

1097         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1098         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1099         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.

1101 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1106 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1107
1108         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1109         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1110         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1111         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1112         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1113
1114 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1115
1116         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1117         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1118         a default of /.
1119
1120         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1121
1122 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1123
1124         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1125         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1126         notation, instead of #/ notation.
1127
1128         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
1129         make-regexp.
1130
1131 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1132
1133         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1134         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1135         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1136         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1137         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1138         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1139
1140         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1141         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1142         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1143         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1144
1145 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1146
1147         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1148         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1149         sending in bug reports.
1150         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1151         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1152         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1153         display a warning if the two are different.
1154         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1155         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1156         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1157
1158 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1159
1160         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1161
1162 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1163
1164         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1165         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1166
1167         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1168         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1169         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1170         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1171         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1172         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1173         that's okay.
1174
1175         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1176         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1177         regexp interface.
1178
1179         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1180         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
1181
1182         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1183         function names.
1184
1185         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1186         fixes.
1187
1188 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1189
1190         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1191         ../configure.in.
1192
1193 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1194
1195         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1196         vtable and not the one of the struct.
1197
1198 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1199
1200         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1201         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1202         to support printing of structures.
1203         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1204         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
1205         commented out printing code.
1206         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1207         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1208
1209 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1210
1211         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1212
1213 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1214
1215         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1216         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1217         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1218         during call to scm-style-repl.
1219
1220 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1221
1222         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1223         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1224         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1225         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
1226         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
1227
1228 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1229
1230         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1231         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1232         (ice-9 regex).
1233
1234 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1235
1236         * regex.scm: New file.
1237         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1238         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1239
1240 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1241
1242         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

1250         in 1997.
1251
1252 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1253
1254         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1255         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
1256         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1257
1258 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1259
1260         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1261         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1262         here.
1263
1264 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1265
1266         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

1273
1274         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1275         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1276         fixes this too.
1277
1278 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1279
1280         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1281         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1282         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
1283
1284 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1285
1286         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1287         the Scheme code like code yet.
1288         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1289
1290 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1291
1292         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1293         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
1294         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1295
1296 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1297
1298         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1299         use-modules macro
1300         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1301         can't be found.
1302
1303 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1304
1305         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1306
1307 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1308
1309         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1310
1311         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1312         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1313         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1314

1322         no plugins.
1323         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1324         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1332
1333         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.

1335 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1336
1337         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout

1341
1342         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1343         instead of in libguile.
1344         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1345         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1346
1347 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1348
1349         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1350         procedures.

1355
1356         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1357         sockaddr:port): new functions.
1358
1359 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1360
1361         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1362         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1363         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1364         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1365
1366 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1367
1368         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1369         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1370

1378         keywords and symbols.
1379
1380 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

1400         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.

1403
1404         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1405
1406 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1407
1408         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1409
1410 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1411
1412         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1413         read gets EOF.
1414         * (exit): alias for quit.
1415
1416 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1417
1418         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1419         return the quit args.
1420         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1421         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.

1423
1424         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1425
1426 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1432
1433         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1434         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1435
1436         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1437         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1438         of handlers.

1440 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1441
1442         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1443
1444         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1445         (add-hooks!): New macro.
1446         Change hooks to use these functions.
1447
1448         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
1449         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1450         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1451         the source! :-)
1452         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1453         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1454         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1455         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
1456         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1457         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1458         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1459         traced.
1460
1461         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1462         and exit-frame exceptions.
1463
1464         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1465         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1466         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1467         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1468         result; otherwise display "> ".
1469         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1470
1471         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1472         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1473         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
1474         repository version runnable.
1475
1476 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1477
1478         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1479         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
1480         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1481         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1482         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1483         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1484
1485 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1486
1487         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1488         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1489         and eval.
1490         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1491         "defined?".
1492         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1493         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
1494
1495 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1496
1497         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1498
1499 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1500
1501         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1502         %read-sharp layer.
1503
1504 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1505
1506         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1507         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1508
1509 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1510
1511         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
1512         backtrace.c.)
1513
1514 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1515
1516         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1517         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1518
1519 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1520
1521         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1522
1523         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1524         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1525         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1526         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1527         dynamic linking of modules.
1528         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1529         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1530
1531 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1532
1533         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1534
1535 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1536
1537         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1538         that's what it is.
1539
1540         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1541         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
1542         was false.
1543
1544 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1545
1546         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1547         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1548         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1549
1550 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1551
1552         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1553         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
1554         yet.
1555
1556 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1557
1558         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1559         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1560         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1561
1562 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1563
1564         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1565         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1566         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1567         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1568
1569         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1570         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1571         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1572         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1573         (such as the-scm-module).
1574
1575 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1576
1577         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1578         %search-load-path.
1579
1580 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
1581
1582         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1583         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1584         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1585
1586 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1587
1588         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1589         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1590         function, use it accordingly.
1591
1592 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1593
1594         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
1595         function of no arguments.
1596         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1597         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1598         set-current-module): Uses changed.
1599         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1600         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1601         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1602         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1603         *top-level-eval-closure*.
1604
1605 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1606
1607         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1608         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1609
1610 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1611
1612         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1613         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1614         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
1615         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
1616         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1617
1618         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1619         `*features*'.
1620
1621         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1622         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
1623         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1624         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1625
1626         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1627
1628         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1629
1630         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1631         If the user wants to see this, he can do
1632         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1633
1634         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1635         error.
1636
1637         Added `before-read-hook'.
1638
1639         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1640
1641         (provide): New function.
1642
1643         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1644         in backtraces.
1645
1646         (backtrace): New function.
1647
1648         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1649         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1650         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
1651         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1652         is found in operator position in a frame.
1653
1654         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1655         by default.
1656
1657         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1658         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1659         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1660
1661         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
1662
1663         (library-vicinity): Updated.
1664
1665         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1666
1667         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1668
1669 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1670
1671         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1672
1673         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1674         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
1675
1676         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1677         so they'll get distributed.
1678
1679         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
1680         should see as little clutter as possible.
1681         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1682         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1683         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1684
1685         * r4rs.scm: New file.
1686         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1687         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1688         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1689         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1690         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1691         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1692         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1693         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1694         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1695         that are not.
1696         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1697         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1698
1699         * test.scm: New file.
1700
1701         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1702         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
1703         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1704
1705         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1706         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1707
1708         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1709         work now.
1710         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
1711         call %load-announce.
1712
1713 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1714
1715         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1716         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1717         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1718         components.
1719         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1720
1721 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1722
1723         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1724         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1725         SCSH (which this isn't).
1726
1727 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1728
1729         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1730
1731 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1732
1733         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1734         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1735         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1736         these.
1737         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
1738         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
1739         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1740         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1741         save-stack.
1742
1743 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1744
1745         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1746
1747         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1748
1749         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1750         error-catching-loop.
1751         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1752         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1753         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1754
1755         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1756         error-catching-loop.
1757
1758 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1759
1760         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1761         (make-module): Rework for readability.
1762         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1763         should be '(), not #f.
1764
1765         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1766         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1767
1768 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1769
1770         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1771         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1772         error-signal.
1773
1774 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1775
1776         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1777         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1778         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1779         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.

1782
1783         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1784
1785 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1786
1787         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1788
1789         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1790         throw-handler-default.
1791         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1792         reported.
1793         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1794         acro.
1795         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1796         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1797
1798 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1799
1800         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1801         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1802         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1803         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1804

1806
1807         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1808         Append "." to the default %load-path.
1809         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1810         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1811         ...))
1812         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1813         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1814         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1815         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1816         file-is-directory?
1817
1818 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1819
1820         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1821
1822         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1823         distribution.
1824
1825         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1826         `switch-repl'.
1827
1828         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1829
1830 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1831
1832         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1833         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1834
1835 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1836
1837         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1838
1839         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1840
1841 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1842
1843         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
1844         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1845         Don't set up 'error as a key.
1846         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1847         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1848
1849         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1850         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1851         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1852         they seem redundant.
1853         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1854         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
1855         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1856         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
1857         directly files starting with "/").
1858         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1859         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1860
1861         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1862
1863 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1864
1865         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1866         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1867         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
1868         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1869         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1870         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1871         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
1872         robust to just do it in the C code.
1873
1874 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1875
1876         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
1877         %try-load itself was the primitive.
1878         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
1879         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
1880         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
1881
1882 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1883
1884         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
1885         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
1886         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
1887
1888 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1889
1890         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
1891         system-error, not every kind of error.
1892         (scm-error): new procedure.
1893
1894 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1895
1896         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1897
1898 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1899
1900         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
1901         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
1902         of args are supplied.
1903         (%%system-errors): removed.
1904         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
1905         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
1906         %%handle-system-error.
1907         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
1908         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
1909         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
1910         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
1911
1912 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1913
1914         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
1915         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
1916         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
1917         %S (embed an argument using "write").
1918
1919 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1920
1921         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
1922         the empty list if they are #f.
1923         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
1924
1925 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1926
1927         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
1928
1929         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
1930         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
1931         aborting, just the key and subr.
1932         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
1933         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
1934         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
1935
1936 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1937
1938         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
1939         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
1940         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
1941         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
1942         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
1943
1944 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1945
1946         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
1947         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
1948         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
1949         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
1950
1951 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1952
1953         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
1954         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
1955         initialize %load-path.
1956
1957         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
1958         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
1959
1960 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1961
1962         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
1963         Add the directory named after the version number.
1964         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
1965         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
1966         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
1967         sitedatadir): New definitions.

1974
1975         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
1976         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
1977         in the Makefile directly.
1978         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
1979         for these.
1980         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
1981         aux_files.

1991
1992 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1993
1994         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
1995         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)

2017         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2018         (manifest): Deleted.
2019         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

2021
2022 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2023

2028

2030
2031         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
