1 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
3 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
4 long_long uniform vectors.
6 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
8 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
9 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
11 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
13 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
14 script to create generated files like this one.
16 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
18 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
19 available before using getpw and getuid.
20 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
21 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
23 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
24 check for .guile, instead of stat.
25 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
27 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
28 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
29 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
31 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
32 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
34 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
36 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
38 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws

49 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
50 ("position"): New command.
51 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
52 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
53 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
54 to return a valid state.)
55 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
57 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
59 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
60 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
63 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
65 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
66 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
68 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
70 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
72 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
74 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
75 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
77 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
78 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
79 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
81 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
84 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
86 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
87 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
89 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
91 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
93 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
94 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
95 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
96 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
98 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
101 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
102 both forward and backward views of the stack
103 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
104 Use selector `frame-number';
105 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
106 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
108 Use readline conditionally.
110 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
112 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
113 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
114 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
116 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
117 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
120 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
122 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
124 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
126 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
128 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
130 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
132 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
133 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
134 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
135 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
136 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
137 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
138 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
139 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
140 libguile-config-stamp.
141 * version.scm.in: Delete.
142 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
143 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
144 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
145 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
147 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
149 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
150 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
151 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
153 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
154 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
155 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
156 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
159 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
161 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
163 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
165 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
167 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
168 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
170 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
172 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
173 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
174 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
175 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
176 objects starting with '#/'.
178 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
180 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
181 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
182 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
183 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
184 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
185 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
187 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
188 module-modified): New procedures.
189 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
190 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
192 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
194 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
197 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
199 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
200 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
201 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
203 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
206 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
208 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
209 at multiple calls to read.
210 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
211 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
212 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
213 continued-lines prompt.
215 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
218 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
220 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
221 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
223 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
225 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
226 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
229 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
231 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
232 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
234 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
235 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
236 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
237 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
238 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
241 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
243 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
244 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
246 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
248 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
249 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
250 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
251 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
253 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
255 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
257 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
258 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
259 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
262 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
264 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
265 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
266 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
267 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
268 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
269 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
270 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
271 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
272 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
273 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
274 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
276 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
278 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
279 peeked from the stream.
280 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
281 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
282 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
284 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
286 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
287 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
289 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
291 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
292 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
293 exiting repl with single control-D.
295 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
297 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
298 error catching loop after quit received.
299 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
301 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
302 primitive exit if non-interactive.
303 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
305 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
306 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
308 * popen.scm: new file.
310 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
312 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
313 (reverse-iota): removed.
315 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
317 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
318 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
320 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
322 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
323 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
324 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
325 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
326 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
328 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
330 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
332 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
333 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
335 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
336 Guile's module system.
338 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
340 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
341 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
342 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
343 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
344 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
345 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
347 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
348 '() when the condition is false.
350 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
352 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
354 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
356 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
358 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
360 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
361 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
362 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
364 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
366 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
367 argument order for hash-fold.
369 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
371 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
373 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
374 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
376 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
377 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
378 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
379 has been added to the load path).
383 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
385 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
386 module between system and user state.
388 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
390 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
392 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
395 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
397 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
398 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
399 system can create a wrapper class for it.
401 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
403 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
404 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
405 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
406 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
407 stack frame encountered.
409 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
410 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
411 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
412 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
415 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
416 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
417 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
418 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
421 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
422 define-module switches:
427 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
430 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
431 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
432 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
433 module it is a system frame.
435 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
436 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
437 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
438 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
439 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
441 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
442 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
443 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
444 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
445 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
446 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
448 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
450 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
451 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
453 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
454 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
455 closure to the module.
457 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
459 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
461 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
463 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
465 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
467 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
469 Fix from Russ McManus:
470 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
471 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
472 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
473 either an optional or required value.
475 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
477 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
479 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
480 of the '() key, not `rest'.
482 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
483 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
484 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
485 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
487 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
489 * optargs.scm: New file.
490 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
491 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
493 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
495 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
496 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
497 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
499 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
501 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
502 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
505 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
507 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
509 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
511 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
512 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
513 applied to the module itself.
515 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
517 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
519 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
520 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
522 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
524 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
526 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

530 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
532 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
533 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
535 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
537 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
538 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
539 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
540 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
541 among BINDINGS is referenced.
542 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
543 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
545 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
547 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
548 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
550 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
552 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
553 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
556 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
558 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
560 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
562 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
564 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
566 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
567 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
568 adapt to the new hooks.
570 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
572 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
573 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
574 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
576 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
577 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
579 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
580 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
581 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
582 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
583 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
584 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
585 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
586 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
587 first to register linked modules.
589 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
590 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
591 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
593 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
594 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
595 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
596 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
598 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
600 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
603 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
604 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
605 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
607 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
609 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
610 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
611 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
613 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
615 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
616 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
617 result of the last form.
619 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
621 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
624 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
626 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
627 readline-set!: New options interface.
629 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
631 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
633 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
634 at the end of boot-9.scm.
636 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
638 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
639 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
641 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
643 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
645 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
647 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
648 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
650 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
652 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
654 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
656 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
659 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
661 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
662 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
664 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
666 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
668 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
669 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
670 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
672 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
673 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
675 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
676 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
677 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
679 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
680 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
681 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
682 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
683 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
684 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
686 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
688 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
689 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
691 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
693 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
694 and short vectors #h(...).
696 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
698 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
699 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
700 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
702 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
704 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
705 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
706 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
708 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
710 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
711 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
713 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
714 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
715 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
716 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
718 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
720 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
723 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
724 order to allow the empty list as arg.
725 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
726 context with traps enabled.
728 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
730 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
732 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
734 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
736 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
737 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
738 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
739 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
740 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
742 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
744 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
745 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
747 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
749 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
751 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
753 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
755 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
757 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
759 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
761 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
762 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
764 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
766 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
767 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
768 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
769 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
772 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
773 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
774 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
776 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
778 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
779 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
780 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
781 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
782 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
783 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
784 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
786 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
788 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
790 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
792 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
793 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
794 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
795 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
796 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
797 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
799 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
801 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
802 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
803 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
806 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
808 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
810 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
812 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
814 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
816 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
819 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
821 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
823 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
825 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
826 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
828 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
830 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
831 similar in use to `use-modules'.
832 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
833 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
835 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
836 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
838 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
840 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
842 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
844 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
845 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
848 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
849 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
851 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
852 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
853 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
855 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
857 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
859 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
861 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
862 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
864 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
866 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
868 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
870 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
871 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
873 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
875 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
878 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
880 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
881 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
883 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
885 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
887 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
889 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
892 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
894 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
895 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
896 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
897 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
898 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
901 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
903 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
904 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
905 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
907 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
909 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
911 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
912 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
914 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
916 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
917 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
918 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
919 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
920 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
921 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
922 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
925 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
927 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
930 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
932 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
933 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
934 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
935 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
936 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
937 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
939 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
941 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
942 usefully so they will work from a script.
944 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
946 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
947 neighborhood of the record code.
949 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
951 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
952 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
953 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
954 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
956 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
958 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
959 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
960 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
962 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
964 Add support for readline function.
965 * readline.scm: New module.
966 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
967 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
968 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
970 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
971 repl-reader to use them.
972 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
974 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
976 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
978 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
979 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
981 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
983 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
984 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
985 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
987 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
989 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
990 #f, abort terminates the process.
991 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
992 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
994 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
996 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
997 print-state, throw it away.
999 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1001 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1004 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1006 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1007 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1008 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1009 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1011 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1012 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1014 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1016 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1018 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1020 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1021 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1022 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1023 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1024 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1026 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1027 distribution and installation.
1028 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1030 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1032 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1034 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1036 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1037 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1038 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1040 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1041 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1044 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1046 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1048 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1050 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1052 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1053 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1054 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1055 field a separate argument.
1057 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1059 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1061 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1063 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1067 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1069 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1071 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1073 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1074 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1075 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1076 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1077 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1078 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1080 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1081 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1082 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1083 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1084 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1087 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1089 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
1091 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1093 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1094 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1096 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1098 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1100 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1101 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1102 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1103 expansion inside the slib module.

1115 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1116 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1117 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1119 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1120 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has

1143 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1145 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1146 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1147 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1148 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1149 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1151 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1152 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1153 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1155 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1156 the syncase interface.
1158 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1160 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1161 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner

1166 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1167 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

1176 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1178 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1179 according to the following priorities:
1180 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1181 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1183 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1184 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1185 (new-interpreter): New function.
1187 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1188 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1189 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

1229 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1231 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1233 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1234 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1236 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1237 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1239 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1241 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1243 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling

1263 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1265 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1266 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1267 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1269 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1270 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1273 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1274 order to narrow it correctly.
1275 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

1289 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1291 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1293 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1294 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1295 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1297 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1299 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1302 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1304 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1305 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1306 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1307 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.

1329 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1330 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1331 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1332 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1333 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1334 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1336 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1337 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1338 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1339 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1341 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1343 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1344 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1345 sending in bug reports.
1346 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1347 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1348 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1349 display a warning if the two are different.
1350 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1351 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.

1360 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1361 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1363 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1364 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1365 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1366 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1367 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1368 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1371 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1372 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1375 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1376 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1378 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1381 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1384 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1392 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1394 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1396 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1397 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1398 to support printing of structures.
1399 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1400 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1401 commented out printing code.
1402 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1403 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".

1414 during call to scm-style-repl.
1416 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1418 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1419 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1420 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1421 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1422 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1424 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1426 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1427 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1430 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1432 * regex.scm: New file.
1433 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.

1441 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1443 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1445 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1448 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1450 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1451 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1452 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1454 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1456 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1457 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1460 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1462 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

1466 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1468 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1470 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1471 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1474 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1476 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1477 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1478 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1480 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1482 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1483 the Scheme code like code yet.
1484 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1486 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1488 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1489 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1490 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1492 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1494 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the

1501 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1503 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1505 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1507 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1508 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1509 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1511 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1513 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1514 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.

1557 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1558 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,

1562 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1564 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,

1578 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1580 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1581 Don't define read-sharp.
1583 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1584 (read-sharp): removed.
1585 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1586 case_i or read-sharp arguments.

1612 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1614 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1615 return the quit args.
1616 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1617 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1618 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1620 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1622 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1624 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1626 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1627 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1629 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1630 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1632 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1633 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1636 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1638 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1640 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1641 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1642 Change hooks to use these functions.
1644 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1645 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1646 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1648 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1649 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1650 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1651 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1652 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1653 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1654 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1657 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1658 and exit-frame exceptions.
1660 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1661 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1662 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1663 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1664 result; otherwise display "> ".
1665 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1667 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1668 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1669 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1670 repository version runnable.
1672 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1674 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1675 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1676 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1677 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1678 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1679 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1681 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1683 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1684 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1686 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1688 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1689 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1691 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1693 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1695 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1697 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1700 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1702 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1703 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1705 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1707 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1710 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1712 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1713 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1715 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1717 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1719 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1720 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1721 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1722 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1723 dynamic linking of modules.
1724 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1725 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1727 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1729 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1731 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1733 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1736 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1737 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1740 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1742 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1743 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1744 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1746 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1748 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1749 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1752 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1754 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1755 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1756 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1758 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1760 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1761 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1762 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1763 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1765 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1766 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1767 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1768 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1769 (such as the-scm-module).
1771 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1773 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1776 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1778 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1779 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1780 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1782 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1784 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1785 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1786 function, use it accordingly.
1788 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1790 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1791 function of no arguments.
1792 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1793 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1794 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1795 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1796 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1797 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1798 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1799 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1801 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1803 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1804 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1806 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1808 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1809 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1810 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1811 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1812 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1814 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1817 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1818 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1819 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1820 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1822 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1824 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1826 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1827 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1828 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1830 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1833 Added `before-read-hook'.
1835 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1837 (provide): New function.
1839 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1842 (backtrace): New function.
1844 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1845 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1846 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1847 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1848 is found in operator position in a frame.
1850 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1853 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1854 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1855 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1857 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1859 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1861 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1863 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1865 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1867 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1869 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1870 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
1872 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1873 so they'll get distributed.
1875 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
1876 should see as little clutter as possible.
1877 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1878 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1879 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1881 * r4rs.scm: New file.
1882 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1883 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1884 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1885 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1886 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1887 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1888 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1889 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1890 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1892 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1893 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1895 * test.scm: New file.
1897 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1898 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
1899 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1901 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1902 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1904 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1906 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
1907 call %load-announce.
1909 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1911 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1912 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1913 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1915 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1917 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1919 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1920 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1921 SCSH (which this isn't).
1923 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1925 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1927 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1929 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1930 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1931 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1933 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
1934 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
1935 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1936 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1939 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1941 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1943 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1945 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1946 error-catching-loop.
1947 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1948 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1949 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1951 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1952 error-catching-loop.
1954 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1956 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1957 (make-module): Rework for readability.
1958 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1959 should be '(), not #f.
1961 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1962 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1964 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1966 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1967 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1970 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1972 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1973 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1974 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1975 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1977 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1979 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1981 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1983 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1985 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1986 throw-handler-default.
1987 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1989 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1991 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1992 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1994 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1996 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1997 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1998 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1999 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2001 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2003 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2004 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2005 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2006 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2008 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2009 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2010 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2011 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2014 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2016 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2018 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2021 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2024 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2026 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2028 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2029 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2031 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2033 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2035 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2037 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2039 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2040 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2041 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2042 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2043 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2045 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2046 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2047 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2048 they seem redundant.
2049 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2050 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2051 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2052 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2053 directly files starting with "/").
2054 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2055 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2057 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2059 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2061 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2062 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2063 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2064 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2065 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2066 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2067 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2068 robust to just do it in the C code.
2070 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2072 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2073 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2074 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2075 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2076 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2078 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2080 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2081 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2082 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2084 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2086 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2087 system-error, not every kind of error.
2088 (scm-error): new procedure.
2090 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2092 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2094 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2096 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2097 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2098 of args are supplied.
2099 (%%system-errors): removed.
2100 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2101 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2102 %%handle-system-error.
2103 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2104 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2105 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2106 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2108 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2110 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2111 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2112 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2113 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2115 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2117 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2118 the empty list if they are #f.

2134 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2135 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2136 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2137 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2138 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2140 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

2150 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2151 initialize %load-path.

2158 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2159 Add the directory named after the version number.
2160 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.

2176 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and

2213 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2214 (manifest): Deleted.
2215 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

2218 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2220 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
