ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 2004-10-29  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
   2
   3         * arrays.scm: Do not install read-hash procedure for reading
   4         arrays, this is done in libguile now.
   5
   6 2004-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
   7
   8         * arrays.scm (uniform-vector?, uniform-vector-set!): Removed, now
   9         provided by libguile.
  10
  11 2004-10-26  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  12
  13         * boot-9.scm: Added srfi-4 to cond-expand features.
  14
  15 2004-10-18  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  16
  17         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Simplified considerably by using
  18         object->string or display instead of implementing our own printer.
  19         Handle format:read-proof here.  Unreadable objects are recognized
  20         by their "#<" prefix instead of by being unknown to the custom
  21         printer (which would treat keywords as unprintable, for example).
  22         (format:iobj->str): Removed.
  23
  24 2004-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  25
  26         * boot-9.scm (symbol->keyword, keyword->symbol): Removed, they are
  27         now implemented in C.
  28
  29 2004-09-26  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  30
  31         * optargs.scm (let-optional-template, let-keywords-template): Change
  32         "(begin body)" to "(let () body)" for empty bindings, since the former
  33         allows "internal defines" in body leak out to the surrounding
  34         environment.
  35
  36 2004-09-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  37
  38         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Pass rest argument to
  39         display-backtrace for wrong-type-arg and out-of-range errors so
  40         that the bad value gets highlighted.
  41
  42 2004-09-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  43
  44         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): Correction, should recurse into
  45         itself, not stream-for-each-one.
  46
  47         * time.scm (time-proc): Make result inexact, since format ~f doesn't
  48         support fractions currently.
  49
  50 2004-09-08  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  51
  52         * boot-9.scm (expt): Only call integer-expt for an exact integer
  53         exponent, not for an inexact integer one.  Also, let integer-expt
  54         handle negative exponents instead of doing it here.
  55
  56 2004-09-02  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  57
  58         * format.scm (format:out): Ignore excess arguments, per common lisp.
  59
  60         * format.scm (format:out-num-padded): Print "+" on 0 under @ modifier.
  61
  62 2004-08-27  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  63
  64         * regex.scm (regexp-quote): [ and | must be quoted.  Quote ( ) { + ?
  65         using char class [(] etc since \( in fact makes them become special in
  66         regexp/basic.
  67
  68 2004-08-25  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  69
  70         * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Give #t for an empty body, per srfi-2
  71         spec, previously came out as an empty (begin).
  72
  73 2004-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  74
  75         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Added srfi-13 and srfi-14.
  76
  77 2004-08-20  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  78
  79         * debugger/utils.scm (display-source): Use unmemoize-expr instead
  80         of unmemoize.
  81         (write-frame-short/expression): Likewise.
  82
  83 2004-08-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  84
  85         * and-let-star.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-2, since this module
  86         provides that feature.
  87         * receive.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-8, since this module
  88         provides that feature.
  89
  90 2004-08-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  91
  92         From Matthias Koeppe.  Thanks!
  93
  94         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): In the local procedure `wr', use
  95         object->string to print all data (except for the reader macros),
  96         rather than implementing an own printer.  The user-visible
  97         difference is that procedures and control characters like #\tab
  98         are now printed in the same way as by `write'.
  99
 100 2004-08-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 101
 102         * slib.scm (*features*): Remove array and array-for-each, core
 103         definitions are insufficient for latest slib.
 104         (t, nil): New constants slib says are supposed to exist.
 105         (call-with-open-ports, browse-url): New functions for latest slib.
 106         Implementations taken from Template.scm (public domain).
 107         (open-file): Extend core definition to accept symbols for the mode,
 108         required by latest slib.
 109         (delete-file): Replace core definition with version returning #t/#f as
 110         per slib spec.
 111         (system): Mark as #:replace to suppress override warning, use new
 112         style "(@ (guile) system)" to call core function.
 113
 114 2004-05-25  Matthias Koeppe  <mkoeppe@mail.math.uni-magdeburg.de>
 115
 116         * format.scm: Remove the arbitrary limit of 100 iterations for the
 117         ~{...~} control structure.
 118
 119 2004-07-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 120
 121         * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Remove unused variable "val".
 122         * pretty-print.scm (read-macro-prefix): Remove unused variable "tail".
 123
 124         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Add srfi-6 which is in the core.
 125
 126         * safe-r5rs.scm (re-export): Uncomment numerator, denominator,
 127         rationalize, since they now exist.
 128
 129 2004-07-05  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 130
 131         * slib.scm (system): Correction to redefinition, now guile is stricter
 132         about when a define binding comes into existance.
 133
 134 2004-05-29  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
 135
 136         * boot-9.scm: Reordered definitions such that macro definitions
 137         preceed their first usage.  Include and define deprecated stuff
 138         late in the file to have a better change of detecting accidental
 139         uses of deprecated definitions. Further, unified the layout a
 140         little and grouped definitions more cleanly into topics.
 141
 142 2004-05-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 143
 144         * history.scm (use-value-history): Use resolve-interface instead
 145         of resolve-module so that only the exported bindings are searched.
 146         (save-value-history): Export the newly defined variable.  Reported
 147         by Wolfgang Jaehrling.
 148
 149 2004-05-04  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
 150
 151         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): Always start searching from the
 152         root module.  This will allow the C equivalent scm_resolve_module
 153         to work, independent of what the current module is.
 154
 155 2004-02-18  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 156
 157         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Make the (guile-user) module use the
 158         (ice-9 r5rs) module.
 159
 160 2004-02-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 161
 162         * boot-9.scm (module-map): Renamed hash-map -> hash-map->list.
 163
 164 2004-02-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 165
 166         * debugger/trap-hooks.scm (debug-hook-membership): New, exported.
 167
 168         * debugger/commands.scm (debug-trap-hooks): New, exported.
 169
 170 2004-02-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 171
 172         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES),
 173         debugger/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES), Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES): Use
 174         this variable instead of ETAGS_ARGS so that TAGS can be built
 175         using separate build directory.
 176
 177 2004-01-20  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 178
 179         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Back out 2003-11-19 change to
 180         lazy-handler-dispatch lookup.
 181
 182 2004-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 183
 184         * mapping.scm: Use '#:' prefix for keywords instead of ':'.
 185         Thanks to Richard Todd!
 186
 187 2004-01-11  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 188
 189         * slib.scm (system): New function, giving an exit code return in
 190         accordance with slib spec.
 191
 192         Revert this, it breaks test-suite/tests/r5rs_pitfalls.test where
 193         false-if-exception is used within syntax-rules.  (Suspect syntax-rules
 194         ought to support this sort of thing, but it doesn't right now.)
 195         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
 196         to depend on expansion environment.
 197
 198 2004-01-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 199
 200         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): Use with-fluid* when only one fluid is
 201         being set.

 203 2004-01-07  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 204
 205         * q.scm (q-pop!): Should be "null?" not "not" for end-of-list.
 206         Reported by Richard Todd.
 207
 208 2004-01-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 209
 210         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
 211         to depend on expansion environment.
 212
 213         * slib.scm (-1+, <?, <=?, =?, >?, >=?): Define as aliases for 1-, <,
 214         <=, =, >, >= respectively, required by slib 'rev2-procedures but no
 215         longer in the guile core.
 216
 217 2003-11-19  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 218
 219         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Defer lookup of
 220         lazy-handler-dispatch.
 221
 222 2003-11-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 223
 224         * boot-9.scm (@, @@): New macros.
 225
 226 2003-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 227
 228         * boot-9.scm: Started comment about module system workings.
 229
 230 2003-11-11  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 231
 232         * debugger.scm: Change ui-* calls to gds-*.
 233         (debug-on-error): Debug if throw key is in specified syms, not if
 234         it isn't!  Also throw 'abort after debugging, so as to skip the
 235         REPL's backtrace.
 236
 237         * debugger/behaviour.scm (*trap*): New variable, stores trap type.
 238         (before-enter-frame-hook, before-apply-frame-hook,
 239         before-exit-frame-hook): Set here.
 240         (debug-if-flag-set): Passed into flags on debug-stack call.
 241         (at-step, at-next): Changed to debug at frame exit points as well.
 242
 243         * debugger/utils.scm: Big comment added.
 244
 245 2003-10-30  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 246
 247         * debugger/ui-client.scm: Moved to ../emacs/gds-client.scm.
 248
 249 2003-10-16  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 250
 251         * debugger/ui-client.scm (ui-connect): Add arg to say whether to
 252         debug immediately on connection.
 253         (ui-eval): Handle exceptions during read and evaluation.
 254
 255         * debugger.scm (debug-on-error, default-default-lazy-handler):
 256         Remove an unnecessary level of indirection in calling lazy
 257         handler.
 258
 259 2003-10-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 260
 261         * ftw.scm (directory-files): Close dir-stream when done.  Thanks
 262         to Paul Jarc!
 263
 264 2003-10-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 265
 266         * poe.scm (funcq-assoc): Rewrite, don't assume '() is false, and
 267         actually traverse the given alist.
 268
 269 2003-10-06  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 270
 271         * debugger/ui-client.scm (handle-instruction): Add evaluation
 272         support.
 273         (ui-eval): New.
 274
 275 2003-10-04  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 276
 277         * debugger/ui-client.scm (ui-disable-async-thread,
 278         ui-continue-async-thread, start-async-ui-thread): New.
 279         (ui-command-loop): Call ui-disable-async-thread and
 280         ui-continue-async-thread.
 281         (handle-instruction): Read terminating newline char so it doesn't
 282         cause following select to pop immediately.
 283
 284 2003-09-25  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 285
 286         * debugger/ui-client.scm, debugger/ui-server.scm: New (work in
 287         progress on new debugging front end).
 288
 289 2003-09-24  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 290
 291         * debugger.scm (default-default-lazy-handler, debug-on-error):
 292         New.
 293
 294         * debugger/behaviour.scm (debug-if-flag-set): Display debug entry
 295         messages through (debugger-output-port).
 296         (after-exit-frame-hook): Trace through (debugger-output-port).
 297         (trace-here): Trace through (debugger-output-port).
 298
 299         * debugger/commands.scm (evaluate): If supplied expression is a
 300         string, read from it before evaluating.
 301         (evaluate): Change output format to "EXPR => VALUE".
 302
 303 2003-09-19  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 304
 305         * popen.scm (open-process): Correction to previous fdes closing
 306         change, need to watch out for stdin==stderr or stdout==stderr.
 307
 308 2003-09-15  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 309
 310         * format.scm (format): Rewritten as a big letrec to make it
 311         reentrant.  No mutex is necessary.  Thanks to Clinton Ebadi!
 312
 313 2003-09-13  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 314
 315         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?): Use stat rather than access?, so as to
 316         follow the effective UID/GID not the real ID.  file-exists? is
 317         normally used as a prelude to opening or some other operation, and
 318         it's the effective ID which will apply there.  Emacs file-exists-p
 319         uses stat, presumably for the the same reason.
 320
 321 2003-09-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 322
 323         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Use a proper hashtable as
 324         the obarray, not an empty vector.
 325         (make-module): Always construct a hashtable for the obarray, even
 326         for empty ones.
 327
 328         * format.scm (format:error): Use 'format:format' instead of
 329         'format' since the latter will lock the mutex again that we have
 330         already locked.
 331         (format:format-work): Flag multiple '#' as an error.
 332
 333 2003-08-17  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 334
 335         * boot-9.scm (while): Use a new key dynamically for each loop, so
 336         break and continue associate to their loop even when recursing.
 337
 338 2003-08-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 339
 340         * boot-9.scm (while): Rewrite, continue as proper escape, break
 341         without return value, break and continue new for each while form,
 342         don't depend on bindings in expansion environment.
 343
 344         * popen.scm (open-process): Close input-fdes, output-fdes and
 345         error-fdes after duping them to 0, 1 and 2.
 346
 347 2003-06-19  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 348
 349         * threads.scm (parallel): For no forms, use `(values)' not `(begin)'.
 350
 351 2003-05-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 352
 353         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Added missing quote around
 354         vector constant.
 355
 356 2003-05-20  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 357
 358         * deprecated.scm (list*): Added.
 359
 360 2003-05-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 361
 362         * documentation.scm (file-commentary, find-documentation-in-file): Use
 363         call-with-input-file, to close ports when done.
 364
 365 2003-05-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 366
 367         * gap-buffer.scm (point++n!, point+-n!): Use substring-move!
 368         instead of substring-move-left! or substring-move-right!.  Thanks
 369         to Kevin Ryde.
 370
 371         * deprecated.scm (substring-move-left!, substring-move-right!):
 372         New.
 373
 374         * boot-9.scm (display-usage-report): Use keyword->symbol instead
 375         of keyword-symbol, which doesn't exist.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde.
 376
 377         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-get-handle): Pass only the expected four
 378         arguments to hashx-get-handle.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde!
 379
 380         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port) Pass 0 as second
 381         argument to string-ref.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde!
 382

 412
 413         * format.scm (format:out-substr): Update the column counter
 414         correctly. This fixes the behavior of ~T (tabbing) after ~F, for
 415         instance.  Thanks to Matthias Koeppe!
 416

 424         and merge-accessors handlers are available also before (oop goops)
 425         has been loaded.  This is so that people can put them as default
 426         handlers without worrying about availability.
 427
 428         * slib.scm (logical:ipow-by-squaring): Removed.

 463 2003-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>

 468
 469         * debugger/command-loop.scm: Prefix all commands imported from

 476         (module-use!, module-use-interfaces!): Remove existing interfaces
 477         on the use-list based on module name rather than interface
 478         identity so that custom interfaces truly replaces their previous

 508
 509         * boot-9.scm (make-module): Changed default size from 1021 to 31
 510         (since the size now adapts).

 526 2003-01-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 527
 528         * syncase.scm (guile-macro): Strip syntactic information from
 529         expression before trying to treat it as a Guile macro call.
 530         (Thanks to Kevin Ryde.)
 531
 532 2003-01-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 533

 539         futures.
 540
 541 2003-01-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 542
 543         * occam-channel.scm (alt): New syntax.
 544
 545         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Removed.  Guile now provides this
 546         operator as a primitive procedure.
 547         (build-data): Quote vectors (psyntax.ss requires this).
 548
 549 2003-01-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 550
 551         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Allow procedures implanted in
 552         source.  (Guile uses this internally.)
 553
 554 2003-01-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 555
 556         * psyntax.ss (build-data): Don't quote self-evaluating expressions
 557         in output.  (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be
 558         quoted, but until Guile's native macros and syncase cooperates
 559         better, it is less destructive not to quote.)
 560         (self-evaluating?): Removed null? (In Guile, the empty list is not
 561         self-evaluating).
 562         (sc-chi): Export chi as sc-chi.
 563         (external-macro): New syntax type.
 564
 565         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 566
 567         * compile-psyntax.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure.
 568
 569         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Return *unspecified*.
 570
 571         * syncase.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure to
 572         the-syncase-eval-closure during booting so that variables are
 573         created in the correct module.
 574         (syncase): Set expansion-eval-closure.
 575         (define-syntax define-syntax-public eval-when fluid-let-syntax
 576         identifier-syntax let-syntax letrec-syntax syntax syntax-case
 577         syntax-rules with-syntax include): Removed definitions (these are
 578         created from within psyntax.pp).
 579         Enable expansion of Guile macros during a syntax-case
 580         transformation.
 581
 582 2003-01-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 583
 584         * occam-channel.scm (make-channel): Renamed from channel.
 585         (make-timer): New function.
 586
 587         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added occam-channel.scm.
 588
 589         * occam-channel.scm: New file.  Implements occam-like channels.
 590
 591 2002-12-28  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 592
 593         * boot-9.scm (module-defined-hook): New hook, run whenever a new
 594         module is defined.
 595         (process-define-module): Run this hook.
 596
 597 2002-12-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
 598
 599         * threads.scm: Removed bogus definition of future-ref.
 600
 601 2002-12-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 602
 603         * threads.scm (par-map, par-for-each): Reimplemented using
 604         joing-thread.
 605         (parallel): Reimplemented using futures.
 606         (n-par-map, n-for-each): New procedures.
 607
 608 2002-12-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 609
 610         * optargs.scm (improper-list-copy): New.
 611         (parse-arglist): Use it instead of list-copy.
 612
 613 2002-12-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 614
 615         * threads.scm (letpar): New macro.
 616
 617 2002-12-08  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 618
 619         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION ->
 620         GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
 621
 622         * debugger/Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION ->
 623         GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
 624
 625         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION -> GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
 626
 627 2002-12-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 628
 629         * threads.scm (parallel): New macro.
 630          (par-map, par-for-each): New procedures.
 631
 632         * documentation.scm (object-documentation): Added support for
 633         defmacros.
 634

 636
 637         * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax):  Re-introduced after accidentally
 638         removing it in my patch from 2002-11-16.
 639
 640 2002-11-24  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 641
 642         Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
 643         following changes:
 644
 645         * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
 646
 647         (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
 648         %system-define.
 649
 650         * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
 651         until Guile supports hygienic macros.
 652
 653 2002-11-17  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 654
 655         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
 656         has been removed from the core.
 657
 658 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 659
 660         * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
 661         identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
 662         syntax-rules, with-syntax, include):  Changed definitions to form
 663         'real' macro definitions.
 664
 665 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 666
 667         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 668         Fixed my previous fix (blush).
 669
 670 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 671
 672         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 673         Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
 674
 675 2002-11-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 676
 677         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition
 678         needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.
 679
 680 2002-11-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 681
 682         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"
 683         change below.
 684
 685         * debugger/breakpoints/source.scm: Enable source property
 686         recording when module is loaded.
 687         (##): Cope with ports whose `filename' is not a string.
 688

 692         code.
 693
 694         * debugger/command-loop.scm (read-and-dispatch-command): Import
 695         set-readline-prompt dynamically if we need to.  (Previous
 696         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
 697         readline).)
 698
 699 2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 700
 701         * format.scm (format): Wrap a monitor around format:format since
 702         it is not thread-safe.
 703
 704 2002-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 705
 706         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'.  This
 707         value will be returned by join-thread.
 708
 709 2002-10-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 710
 711         Merging debugger enhancements previously in separate
 712         `guile-debugger' package ...
 713
 714         * debugger.scm: Factored out into the following constituent parts
 715         - see comment in file for more details.
 716         (*not-yet-introduced*): New (avoids repeatedly introducing the
 717         debugger when entering it from breakpoints).
 718         (debug-stack): New.
 719         (debug): Rewrite to use more general `debug-stack'.
 720
 721         * debugger/commands.scm, debugger/command-loop.scm,
 722         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits
 723         of old (ice-9 debugger), plus some rewriting and enhancements for

 731         location in a way that is more easily trackable by Emacs.
 732
 733         * debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
 734         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
 735         execution from a breakpoint.
 736
 737         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,
 738         debugger/breakpoints/procedural.scm,
 739         debugger/breakpoints/range.scm, debugger/breakpoints/source.scm,
 740         debugger/trap-hooks.scm, debugger/trc.scm: New files - breakpoint
 741         support.
 742

 747 2002-10-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 748
 749         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Do not call unmask-signals, that
 750         should be unnecessary now.
 751
 752 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 753
 754         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
 755         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
 756         the-root-module.
 757
 758 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 759
 760         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
 761         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and
 762         call-with-unblocked-asyncs instead of mask-signals and
 763         unmask-signals.
 764
 765 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 766
 767         * buffered-input.scm (make-buffered-input-port): Build an
 768         input-waiting thunk for just extended version of make-soft-port.
 769
 770 2002-10-04  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 771
 772         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
 773         >= 0.
 774
 775 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 776
 777         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to

 787
 788 2002-09-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 789
 790         * syncase.scm: Set the module transformer of the-syncase-module so
 791         that we can use define-syntax.

 863
 864         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
 865         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
 866         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
 867
 868         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.

 881
 882         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
 883         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
 884         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
 885         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
 886
 887 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 896
 897         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have

 909
 910         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 911         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 912         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 913
 914         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,

 921           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 922           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 923           exporting bindings.
 924
 925 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 926
 927         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,

 929
 930 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 931
 932         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 933         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 934         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 935         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 936
 937 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 938
 939         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,

 953
 954 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 955
 956         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 957         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
 958
 959 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 960
 961         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 962         the `arglist' procedure property.
 963         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 964         present a more detailed argument list.
 965
 966         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 967
 968 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 969
 970         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
 971         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel

 975
 976         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
 977
 978         (feature?): Deprecated.
 979
 980         (id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags,

 993         functionality.
 994
 995         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
 996         needed to trick export.
 997

 999
1000         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.
1001
1002 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

1007
1008 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1009
1010         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
1011         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
1012         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
1013
1014 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1015
1016         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
1017         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
1018
1019 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1020
1021         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

1027         Augment commentary.
1028
1029 2001-08-02  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1030
1031         * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
1032         last-command fluid is not yet set.

1036         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
1037
1038         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'

1040         next element is to be taken as the option arg.
1041
1042 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
1043
1044         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
1045         handle :use-syntax correctly.
1046
1047 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1048
1049         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in

1053
1054         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in

1056         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
1057         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
1058         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
1059
1060 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

1066 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1067
1068         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
1069         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
1070
1071 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1072
1073         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
1074         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
1075         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
1076         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
1077
1078         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
1079         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
1080         since there aren't definitions for them.
1081
1082         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
1083         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
1084
1085 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1086
1087         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
1088         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
1089
1090 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1091
1092         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
1093         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
1094
1095 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1096
1097         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
1098         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
1099         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.

1110         is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
1111
1112         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
1113         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
1114         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
1115         New.
1116
1117 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1118
1119         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
1120         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
1121
1122 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1123
1124         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.

1126
1127         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
1128         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by

1144

1147
1148 2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1149
1150         * match.scm:

1169         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
1170         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
1171         rdelim) module.  See below.
1172
1173 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1174
1175         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
1176         include-deprecated-features is true.
1177
1178 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1179
1180         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
1181         unknown objects.
1182
1183         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
1184         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
1185         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1186
1187         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
1188         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
1189         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
1190         Köppe!
1191
1192 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1193
1194         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
1195         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
1196         variable, not just a visible one.
1197         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
1198         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
1199         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
1200         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
1201         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
1202         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
1203         variables.
1204         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
1205
1206         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
1207         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
1208
1209 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1210
1211         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
1212         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
1213
1214 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1215
1216         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
1217
1218 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1219
1220         Added exception notice to all files.
1221
1222         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
1223         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
1224         importing bindings once in a while.
1225
1226 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1227
1228         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
1229         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
1230         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1231         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
1232         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
1233         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
1234         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
1235         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
1236         message.
1237         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
1238         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
1239
1240 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1241
1242         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
1243         fix command so that it works.
1244
1245         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
1246         to access unbound variables.
1247
1248         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
1249         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
1250         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
1251         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
1252         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
1253
1254 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1255
1256         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
1257         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
1258         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
1259         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
1260         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
1261         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
1262         argument for process-define-module.
1263         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
1264         arguments for process-use-modules.
1265         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
1266
1267 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1268
1269         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
1270         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
1271         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
1272         module.
1273
1274         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
1275         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
1276         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
1277
1278         * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.
1279
1280 2001-05-23  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1281
1282         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
1283         to feature lists.
1284         (cond-expand): Use feature information associated with modules.
1285
1286 2001-05-21  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1287
1288         * boot-9.scm (use-srfis): Do not extend the srfi-0 feature list.
1289         (cond-expand-provide): New procedure.
1290
1291 2001-05-22  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1292
1293         * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
1294         (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when
1295         getting the syntax transformer.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1296
1297 2001-05-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1298
1299         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
1300         deprecated features have been removed.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
1301
1302         * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
1303         `display'.
1304
1305 2001-05-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1306
1307         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
1308         * match.scm: Likewise.
1309         * expect.scm: Likewise.
1310         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
1311
1312         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
1313
1314         * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
1315
1316         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
1317         set-current-module.
1318         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
1319         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
1320         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
1321         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
1322         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
1323         element list when adding "." to it.
1324         (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
1325         dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
1326

1328
1329         * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
1330         cleanup; nfc.
1331         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
1332         now accepts arg; update callers.
1333         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
1334         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
1335
1336         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
1337         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
1338         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
1339         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
1340         `search-documentation-files'.
1341         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
1342         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.

1351
1352 2001-05-15  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1353
1354         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
1355         so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.
1356         (use-srfis): New procedure.
1357
1358 2001-05-15  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1359
1360         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Signal error now also if
1361         used module's public interface is not available.
1362         No longer call `beautify-user-module!'.
1363         Signal error now also if selected binding not found.
1364
1365 2001-05-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1366

1368
1369         * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
1370         the module obarray.
1371         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
1372
1373         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
1374         the magical undefined value.
1375         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
1376         the default default for bindings.
1377
1378         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
1379         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
1380         (root-module-closure): Removed.
1381         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
1382         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.

1384         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
1385         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.  Set the
1386         eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
1387         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
1388         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
1389         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
1390         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
1391         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
1392         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
1393         `set-current-module' call.
1394         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
1395         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.
1396
1397         * debug.scm: Use `module-set!' instead of `variable-set!' to set
1398         insert `debug-options' into the-root-module.

1404         ("eval'er") procedure via call-with-values and call the P
1405         ("printer") for each produced value.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!

1425         `module-public-interface'.
1426         (resolve-interface): Extend to handle selection and renaming in spec.
1427         Arg is now `spec' which can be a simple module name (list of symbols)
1428         or a interface spec.
1429         (symbol-prefix-proc): New proc.
1430         (%autoloader-developer-mode): Delete.
1431         (process-define-module): Use "define-module" in error messages
1432         instead of "defmodule".  Factor error into internal proc.
1433         Rewrite `use-module' and `use-syntax' handlers.
1434         Replace some single-arm `if-not' constructs w/ `or'.
1435         (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
1436         which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
1437         (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use
1438         `provided?'.

1453
1454         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Change error message to say

1737         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
1738         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
1739
1740         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
1741         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
1742
1743         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
1744         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
1745
1746 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1747
1748         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
1749         in C for now.
1750         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
1751         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
1752
1753 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1754
1755         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
1756         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
1757         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
1758         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
1759         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
1760         for now.
1761         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).

1763
1764 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1765
1766         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1767         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1768         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1769         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1770         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1771         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1772         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
1773

1780
1781         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
1782         any more.
1783
1784 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1785
1786         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
1787         the-root-module.

1796         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
1797         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
1798         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
1799         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,

1805         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
1806         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
1807         make-shared-substring.
1808
1809 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1810
1811         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1812         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1813         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1814         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1815         scm-style-repl.
1816

1820         and open-output-pipe.
1821
1822 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1823
1824         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1825         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1826         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1827         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1828         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1829         Pirotte for the bug report).
1830         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1831         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

1843
1844         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
1845         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
1846         patch.

1852
1853 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1854
1855         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1856         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1857         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1858
1859         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1860         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1861         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1862         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1863         actual documentation entries themselves.

1890
1891 2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1892
1893         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
1894         `symbol-append'.
1895         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1896         args.
1897         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1898         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1899         even worked...  /mdj.
1900         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1901         `symbol->string'.
1902         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1903         semantics.
1904
1905 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1906
1907         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
1908         form set!.
1909
1910 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1911
1912         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
1913         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
1914

1916
1917         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.

1924
1925         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive.  (Thanks to

1929
1930         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1931         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1932         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1933         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1934         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1935
1936         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1937
1938 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1939
1940         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
1941         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1942
1943         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1944         syntactic bindings.
1945
1946         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1947         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1948         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
1949         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1950
1951         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.

1954         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
1955
1956         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
1957
1958         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1959         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1960
1961 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1962
1963         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1964         definition of module-type.
1965
1966         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1967
1968         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1969
1970         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1971         lines.
1972         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1973         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1974
1975 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1976
1977         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
1978
1979 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1980
1981         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
1982         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
1983         Mikael for the suggestion.
1984
1985 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1986
1987         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1988         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1989
1990 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1991
1992         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1993         for export args.
1994
1995 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1996
1997         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
1998
1999 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2000
2001         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
2002         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
2003         for the hint.
2004
2005         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
2006         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
2007         tail recursive yet.
2008
2009 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2010
2011         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
2012         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
2013
2014         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
2015         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
2016         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
2017         See NEWS.
2018         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
2019
2020         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
2021
2022 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2023
2024         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
2025         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
2026
2027 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2028
2029         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
2030         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
2031
2032 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2033
2034         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
2035         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
2036
2037 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2038
2039         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
2040
2041         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2042
2043         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
2044
2045 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2046
2047         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
2048         '() instead of #f.
2049         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
2050         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
2051         `the-root-module'.
2052         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
2053
2054         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
2055         documentation.scm.
2056
2057         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
2058         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
2059         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
2060         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
2061         (help): Rewritten.
2062
2063         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
2064
2065         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
2066
2067 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2068
2069         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
2070         (write-all): Removed.
2071         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
2072         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
2073
2074 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
2075
2076         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
2077         `proc-documentation'
2078
2079         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
2080         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
2081         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
2082         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
2083         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
2084         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
2085         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
2086         getter...)
2087
2088 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2089
2090         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
2091
2092 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2093
2094         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
2095         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
2096         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
2097         closure.
2098
2099 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2100
2101         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
2102         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
2103         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
2104         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
2105         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
2106         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
2107         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
2108
2109 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2110
2111         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
2112         accept complex numbers as parameter.
2113
2114 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2115
2116         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
2117         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
2118
2119 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2120
2121         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
2122         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
2123         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
2124         instead of remove-if when iterating.
2125         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
2126         delete-if! when iterating.
2127
2128 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2129
2130         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
2131
2132 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2133
2134         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
2135
2136 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2137
2138         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
2139         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
2140         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
2141         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
2142
2143 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2144
2145         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
2146         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
2147
2148 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2149
2150         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
2151         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
2152         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
2153         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
2154
2155 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
2156
2157         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
2158         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
2159
2160 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2161
2162         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
2163         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
2164
2165 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2166
2167         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
2168         Dirk Hermann!
2169
2170 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2171
2172         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
2173         source of the numerous very short changes.
2174
2175 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2176
2177         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
2178         public.
2179
2180         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
2181         info pages.
2182
2183 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2184
2185         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
2186         from slib docs.
2187
2188 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2189
2190         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
2191         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
2192
2193 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2194
2195         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
2196         to string-append.
2197
2198 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2199
2200         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
2201         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
2202         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
2203
2204 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2205
2206         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
2207         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
2208         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
2209         Narazaki for this change.
2210
2211 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2212
2213         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
2214         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
2215         %S.
2216
2217         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
2218         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
2219
2220 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2221
2222         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
2223         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
2224
2225 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2226
2227         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
2228         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
2229         use define-public to export from the module.
2230
2231 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2232
2233         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
2234         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
2235         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
2236
2237 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2238
2239         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
2240
2241 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2242
2243         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
2244         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
2245
2246 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>

2267         script to create generated files like this one.
2268

2270
2271         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
2272         available before using getpw and getuid.
2273         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
2274         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
2275         check for stat.
2276         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
2277         check for .guile, instead of stat.
2278         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
2279         available.
2280         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"

2282         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
2283
2284         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from

2294         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
2295         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
2296
2297         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.

2317
2318         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
2319         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
2320
2321 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2322
2323         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

2338
2339         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of

2343
2344 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2345
2346         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
2347         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
2348         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since

2352         argument.
2353

2356         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
2357         Use selector `frame-number';

2364
2365         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
2366         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
2367         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
2368
2369         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
2370         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
2371         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
2372
2373 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2374
2375         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
2376
2377         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
2378
2379         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
2380
2381         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2382
2383 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2384
2385         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
2386         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
2387         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
2388         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
2389         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
2390         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
2391         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
2392         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
2393         libguile-config-stamp.
2394         * version.scm.in: Delete.
2395         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
2396         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
2397         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
2398         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
2399
2400 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2401
2402         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
2403         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
2404         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
2405
2406         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
2407         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
2408         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
2409         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
2410         readline.
2411
2412         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
2413
2414 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
2415
2416         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
2417
2418 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2419
2420         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
2421         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
2422
2423 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
2424
2425         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
2426         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
2427         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
2428         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
2429         objects starting with '#/'.
2430
2431 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2432
2433         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
2434         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
2435         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
2436         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
2437         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
2438         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
2439         `observer-id'.
2440         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
2441         module-modified): New procedures.
2442         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
2443         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
2444
2445 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2446
2447         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
2448         defines.
2449
2450 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2451
2452         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
2453         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
2454         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2455
2456         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
2457         position.
2458
2459 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2460
2461         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
2462         at multiple calls to read.
2463         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
2464         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
2465         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
2466         continued-lines prompt.
2467
2468         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
2469         reading expressions.
2470
2471 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2472
2473         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
2474         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2475
2476 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2477
2478         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
2479         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
2480         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2481
2482         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2483
2484         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
2485         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
2486
2487         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
2488         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
2489         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
2490         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
2491         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
2492         instead of a port.
2493
2494 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2495
2496         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
2497         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2498
2499         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
2500
2501         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
2502         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
2503         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
2504         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
2505
2506         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
2507
2508         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2509
2510         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
2511         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
2512         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
2513         an alist.
2514
2515         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2516
2517         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
2518         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
2519         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
2520         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
2521         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
2522         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2523         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
2524         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
2525         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
2526         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2527         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
2528
2529         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2530
2531         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
2532         peeked from the stream.
2533         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
2534         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
2535         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
2536
2537         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2538
2539         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
2540         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
2541
2542         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2543
2544         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2545         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
2546         exiting repl with single control-D.
2547
2548         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2549
2550         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2551         error catching loop after quit received.
2552         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2553
2554         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2555         primitive exit if non-interactive.
2556         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2557
2558         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2559         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2560         boot-9.scm.
2561         * popen.scm: new file.
2562
2563 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2564
2565        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
2566        (reverse-iota):  removed.
2567
2568 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2569
2570         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
2571         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
2572
2573 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2574
2575         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2576         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2577         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2578         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2579         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2580
2581 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2582
2583         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2584
2585         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2586         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2587
2588         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2589         Guile's module system.
2590
2591         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2592         changes:
2593         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2594         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2595         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2596         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
2597         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2598         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2599         modern CL behavior.
2600         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2601         '() when the condition is false.
2602
2603 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2604
2605         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2606
2607 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2608
2609         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2610
2611 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2612
2613         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2614         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2615         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2616
2617 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2618
2619         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2620         argument order for hash-fold.
2621
2622 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2623
2624         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
2625         resolve-module.
2626         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2627         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2628
2629         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2630         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2631         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2632         has been added to the load path).
2633
2634         Use try-load-module.
2635
2636 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2637
2638         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
2639         module between system and user state.
2640
2641 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2642
2643         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2644
2645         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2646         definition.
2647
2648 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2649
2650         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2651         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2652         system can create a wrapper class for it.
2653
2654 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2655
2656         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2657         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
2658         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2659         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2660         stack frame encountered.
2661
2662         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2663         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2664         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2665         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2666         list).]
2667
2668         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2669         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2670         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2671         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2672         please tell me!]
2673
2674         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2675         define-module switches:
2676
2677         (define-module (foo)
2678           :no-backtrace)
2679
2680         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2681         modules.
2682
2683         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2684         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2685         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2686         module it is a system frame.
2687
2688         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2689         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2690         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2691         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2692         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2693
2694         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2695         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
2696         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2697         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2698         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
2699         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2700
2701         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2702         status of a module.;
2703         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2704         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2705
2706         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2707         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2708         closure to the module.
2709
2710         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2711
2712 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2719
2720 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2721
2722         Fix from Russ McManus:
2723         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2724         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2725         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2726         either an optional or required value.
2727
2728 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2729
2730         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2731
2732         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2733         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2734
2735         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2736         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2737         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2738         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2739
2740 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2741
2742         * optargs.scm: New file.
2743         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2744         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2745
2746 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2747
2748         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2749         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2750         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2751
2752 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2753
2754         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2755         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2756         for isn't loaded.
2757
2758 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2759
2760         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2761
2762 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2763
2764         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2765         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2766         applied to the module itself.
2767
2768 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2769
2770         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2771
2772         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2773         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2774
2775 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2776
2777         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

2779 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2780
2781         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2782
2783 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2784
2785         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2786         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2787
2788 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2789
2790         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2791         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2792         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2793         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2794         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2795         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2796         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2797
2798 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2799
2800         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2801         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2802
2803 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2804
2805         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2806         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2807         static libraries.
2808
2809 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2810
2811         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2812
2813 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2814
2815         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2816
2817 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2818
2819         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2820         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2821         adapt to the new hooks.
2822
2823 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2824
2825         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2826         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2827         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2828         code.
2829         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2830         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2831
2832         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2833         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2834         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2835         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2836         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2837         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2838         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2839         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2840         first to register linked modules.
2841
2842         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2843         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2844         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2845
2846         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2847         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2848         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2849         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2850
2851         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2852         to use from C:
2853         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2854         libguile/feature.c.
2855
2856         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2857         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2858         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2859
2860 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2861
2862         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2863         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2864         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2865
2866 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2867
2868         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2869         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2870         result of the last form.
2871
2872 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2873
2874         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2875         syncase.scm.
2876
2877         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2878
2879         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2880         readline-set!: New options interface.
2881
2882         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2883
2884 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2885
2886         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2887         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2888
2889 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2890
2891         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2892         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2893
2894 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2895
2896         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2897         interactive session.
2898         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2899
2900         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2901         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2902
2903 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2904
2905         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2906
2907 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2908
2909         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2910         read line was empty.
2911
2912 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2913
2914         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2915         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2916
2917         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2918
2919         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2920         problem.  Duh.
2921         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2922         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2923         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2924
2925         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2926         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2927         into...
2928         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2929         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2930         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2931
2932         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2933         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2934         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2935         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2936         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2937         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2938         psyntax.ss.
2939         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2940
2941         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2942         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2943
2944 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2945
2946         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2947         and short vectors #h(...).
2948
2949 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2950
2951         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2952         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2953         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2954
2955 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2956
2957         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2958         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2959         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2960
2961 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2962
2963         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2964         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2965
2966         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2967         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2968         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2969         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2970
2971 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2972
2973         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2974         trace flag.
2975
2976         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2977         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2978         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2979         context with traps enabled.
2980
2981 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2982
2983         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2984         module.
2985         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2986
2987 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2988
2989         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2990         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2991         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2992         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2993         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2994
2995 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2996
2997         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2998         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2999
3000 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3001
3002         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
3003
3004 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3005
3006         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
3007
3008 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3009
3010         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
3011
3012 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3013
3014         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
3015         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
3016
3017 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3018
3019         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
3020         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
3021         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
3022         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
3023         Archibald.)
3024
3025         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
3026         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
3027         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
3028
3029 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3030
3031         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
3032         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
3033         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
3034         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
3035         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
3036         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
3037         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
3038
3039 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3040
3041         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
3042
3043 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3044
3045         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
3046         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
3047         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
3048         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
3049         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
3050         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
3051
3052 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3053
3054         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
3055         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
3056         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
3057         Steven G. Johnson.)
3058
3059 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3060
3061         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
3062
3063 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3064
3065         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
3066
3067 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3068
3069         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
3070         be completed.
3071
3072 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3073
3074         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
3075
3076 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3077
3078         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
3079         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
3080
3081 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3082
3083         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
3084         similar in use to `use-modules'.
3085         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
3086         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
3087         transformer.
3088         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
3089         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
3090
3091 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3092
3093         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
3094
3095 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3096
3097         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
3098         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
3099         completion.
3100
3101         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
3102         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
3103
3104         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
3105         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
3106         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
3107
3108         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
3109
3110 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3111
3112         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
3113
3114         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
3115         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
3116
3117 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3118
3119         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
3120
3121 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3122
3123         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
3124         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
3125
3126         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
3127
3128         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
3129         obsolete.
3130
3131 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3132
3133         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
3134         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
3135
3136 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3137
3138         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
3139
3140 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3141
3142         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
3143         Stachowiak.)
3144
3145 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3146
3147         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
3148         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
3149         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
3150         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
3151         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
3152         threads.
3153
3154 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3155
3156         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
3157         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
3158         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
3159
3160 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3161
3162         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
3163
3164         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
3165         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
3166
3167 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3168
3169         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
3170         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
3171         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
3172         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
3173         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
3174         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
3175         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
3176         to go here.
3177
3178 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3179
3180         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
3181         is now a fluid.
3182
3183 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3184
3185         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
3186         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
3187         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
3188         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
3189         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
3190         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
3191
3192 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3193
3194         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
3195         usefully so they will work from a script.
3196
3197 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3198
3199         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
3200         neighborhood of the record code.
3201
3202 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3203
3204         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
3205         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
3206         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
3207         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
3208
3209 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3210
3211         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
3212         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
3213         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3214
3215 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3216
3217         Add support for readline function.
3218         * readline.scm: New module.
3219         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
3220         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
3221         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
3222         anything.
3223         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
3224         repl-reader to use them.
3225         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
3226
3227         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
3228
3229 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3230
3231         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3232         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
3233
3234 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3235
3236         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
3237         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
3238         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
3239
3240 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3241
3242         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
3243         #f, abort terminates the process.
3244         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
3245         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
3246
3247 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3248
3249         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
3250         print-state, throw it away.
3251
3252 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3253
3254         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
3255         `0'.
3256
3257 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3258
3259         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
3260         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
3261         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
3262         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
3263         user field).
3264         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
3265         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
3266
3267 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3268
3269         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
3270
3271 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3272
3273         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
3274         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
3275         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
3276         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3277         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
3278         boot-9.scm.
3279         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
3280         distribution and installation.
3281         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3282
3283 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3284
3285         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
3286
3287 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3288
3289         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
3290         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
3291         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
3292
3293         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
3294         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
3295         symbol.
3296
3297 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3298
3299         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
3300
3301         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
3302
3303 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3304
3305         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
3306         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
3307         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
3308         field a separate argument.
3309
3310         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
3311

3315
3316         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

3325
3326         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
3327         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
3328         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
3329         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
3330         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
3331         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
3332         registered.
3333         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
3334         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
3335         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
3336         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
3337         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
3338         link a .so-file.

3350
3351         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
3352
3353         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
3354         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
3355         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
3356         expansion inside the slib module.
3357
3358         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

3366         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
3367
3368         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
3369         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
3370         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
3371         source.
3372         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
3373         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
3374         been loaded.
3375
3376 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

3385         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
3386         mutator for module-associated transformer.
3387         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
3388         `scm:eval-transformer'.
3389         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
3390         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
3391         module.
3392         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
3393
3394 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3395
3396         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
3397
3398         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
3399         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
3400         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
3401         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
3402         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.

3404         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
3405         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as

3407         syncase macros.

3409         the syncase interface.
3410
3411 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3412
3413         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
3414         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
3415         workings of the current module system).
3416
3417 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3418
3419         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
3420         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

3430
3431         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
3432         according to the following priorities:
3433         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
3434         2. bindings from the-scm-module
3435         3. tcl bindings
3436         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
3437         disabling the scheme interpreter.
3438         (new-interpreter): New function.
3439
3440         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
3441         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
3442         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
3443

3459
3460         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
3461         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
3462         source!
3463
3464 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

3471         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
3472         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
3473         in stack-ref).
3474
3475         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
3476         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
3477         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
3478         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
3479         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
3480         result protocol;

3493
3494 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3495
3496         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
3497         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
3498         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
3499
3500         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
3501
3502         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
3503         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
3504         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman

3514         cstime.
3515

3517
3518         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
3519         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
3520         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
3521
3522         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
3523         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
3524         the top.
3525
3526         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
3527         order to narrow it correctly.
3528         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
3529

3536
3537         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.

3539 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3540
3541         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
3542         builtin `with-fluids*'.
3543
3544 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3545
3546         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3547         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
3548         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
3549
3550 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3562
3563 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3564
3565         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
3566         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
3567         a default of /.
3568
3569         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
3570
3571 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

3573         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
3574         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list

3581
3582         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3583         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3584         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
3585         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3586         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3587         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3588
3589         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3590         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3591         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3592         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3593
3594 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3595
3596         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3597         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
3598         sending in bug reports.
3599         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3600         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3601         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3602         display a warning if the two are different.
3603         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3604         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3605         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3606
3607 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

3613         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3614         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3615
3616         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3617         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3618         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3619         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3620         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3621         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3622         that's okay.
3623
3624         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
3625         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3626         regexp interface.
3627
3628         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3629         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
3630
3631         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3632         function names.
3633
3634         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3635         fixes.
3636

3638
3639         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3640         ../configure.in.
3641
3642 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3643
3644         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3645         vtable and not the one of the struct.
3646
3647 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3648
3649         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3650         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3651         to support printing of structures.
3652         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3653         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
3654         commented out printing code.
3655         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3656         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
3657
3658 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3659
3660         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3661
3662 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3663
3664         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3665         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3666         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3667         during call to scm-style-repl.
3668
3669 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3670
3671         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3672         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3673         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3674         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3675         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3676
3677 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3678
3679         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3680         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3681         (ice-9 regex).
3682
3683 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3684
3685         * regex.scm: New file.
3686         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3687         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3688
3689 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3690
3691         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
3692         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
3693         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
3694         threads.scm: New address for FSF.
3695
3696 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3697
3698         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
3699         in 1997.
3700
3701 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3702
3703         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3704         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3705         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3706
3707 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3708
3709         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3710         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3711         here.
3712
3713 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3714
3715         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3716
3717 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3718
3719         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3720
3721 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3722
3723         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3724         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3725         fixes this too.
3726
3727 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3728
3729         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3730         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3731         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3732
3733 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3734
3735         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3736         the Scheme code like code yet.
3737         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3738
3739 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3740
3741         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3742         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3743         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3744
3745 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3746
3747         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3748         use-modules macro
3749         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3750         can't be found.
3751
3752 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3753
3754         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3755
3756 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3757
3758         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3759
3760         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3761         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3762         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3763
3764 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3765
3766         Get 'make dist' to work again.
3767         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3768         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
3769
3770         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3771         no plugins.
3772         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3773         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3774
3775 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3776
3777         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
3778         functions.
3779

3781
3782         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
3783
3784 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3785
3786         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3787         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
3788
3789 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3790
3791         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3792         instead of in libguile.
3793         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3794         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3795
3796 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3797
3798         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3799         procedures.
3800         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3801         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3802
3803 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3804
3805         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3806         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3807
3808 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3809
3810         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3811         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3812         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3813         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3814
3815 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3816
3817         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3818         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3819
3820 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3821
3822         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3823
3824 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3825
3826         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3827         keywords and symbols.
3828
3829 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3830
3831         * slib.scm: update read usage.
3832
3833         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3834         Don't define read-sharp.
3835
3836         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3837         (read-sharp): removed.
3838         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3839         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3840
3841 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3842
3843         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3844
3845         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
3846         primitive procedure.)
3847
3848         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3849         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.

3852
3853         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3854
3855 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3856
3857         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3858
3859 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3860
3861         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3862         read gets EOF.
3863         * (exit): alias for quit.
3864
3865 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3866
3867         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3868         return the quit args.
3869         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3870         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3871         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3872
3873         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3874
3875 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3876
3877         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3878
3879         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3880         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3881
3882         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3883         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3884
3885         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3886         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3887         of handlers.
3888
3889 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3890
3891         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3892
3893         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3894         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3895         Change hooks to use these functions.
3896
3897         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3898         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3899         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3900         the source! :-)
3901         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3902         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3903         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3904         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3905         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3906         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3907         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3908         traced.
3909
3910         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3911         and exit-frame exceptions.
3912
3913         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3914         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3915         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3916         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3917         result; otherwise display "> ".
3918         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3919
3920         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3921         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3922         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3923         repository version runnable.
3924
3925 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3926
3927         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3928         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3929         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3930         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3931         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3932         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3933
3934 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3935
3936         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3937         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3938         and eval.
3939         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3940         "defined?".
3941         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3942         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3943
3944 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3945
3946         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3947
3948 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3949
3950         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3951         %read-sharp layer.
3952
3953 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3954
3955         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3956         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3957
3958 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3959
3960         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3961         backtrace.c.)
3962
3963 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3964
3965         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3966         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3967
3968 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3969
3970         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3971
3972         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3973         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3974         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3975         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3976         dynamic linking of modules.
3977         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3978         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3979
3980 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3981
3982         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3983
3984 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3985
3986         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3987         that's what it is.
3988
3989         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3990         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3991         was false.
3992
3993 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3994
3995         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3996         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3997         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3998
3999 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4000
4001         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
4002         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
4003         yet.
4004
4005 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4006
4007         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
4008         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
4009         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
4010
4011 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4012
4013         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
4014         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
4015         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
4016         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
4017
4018         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
4019         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
4020         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
4021         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
4022         (such as the-scm-module).
4023
4024 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4025
4026         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
4027         %search-load-path.
4028
4029 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
4030
4031         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
4032         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
4033         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
4034
4035 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4036
4037         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
4038         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
4039         function, use it accordingly.
4040
4041 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4042
4043         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
4044         function of no arguments.
4045         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
4046         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
4047         set-current-module): Uses changed.
4048         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
4049         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
4050         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
4051         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
4052         *top-level-eval-closure*.
4053
4054 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4055
4056         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
4057         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
4058
4059 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4060
4061         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4062         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
4063         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
4064         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
4065         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
4066
4067         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
4068         `*features*'.
4069
4070         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
4071         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
4072         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
4073         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
4074
4075         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
4076
4077         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
4078
4079         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
4080         If the user wants to see this, he can do
4081         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
4082
4083         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
4084         error.
4085
4086         Added `before-read-hook'.
4087
4088         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
4089
4090         (provide): New function.
4091
4092         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
4093         in backtraces.
4094
4095         (backtrace): New function.
4096
4097         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
4098         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
4099         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
4100         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
4101         is found in operator position in a frame.
4102
4103         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4104         by default.
4105
4106         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
4107         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
4108         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
4109
4110         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
4111
4112         (library-vicinity): Updated.
4113
4114         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
4115
4116         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
4117
4118 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4119
4120         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
4121
4122         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
4123         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
4124
4125         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
4126         so they'll get distributed.
4127
4128         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
4129         should see as little clutter as possible.
4130         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
4131         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
4132         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
4133
4134         * r4rs.scm: New file.
4135         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
4136         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
4137         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
4138         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
4139         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
4140         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
4141         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
4142         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
4143         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
4144         that are not.
4145         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
4146         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
4147
4148         * test.scm: New file.
4149
4150         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
4151         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
4152         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
4153
4154         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
4155         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
4156
4157         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
4158         work now.
4159         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
4160         call %load-announce.
4161
4162 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4163
4164         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
4165         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
4166         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
4167         components.
4168         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
4169
4170 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4171
4172         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
4173         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
4174         SCSH (which this isn't).
4175
4176 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4177
4178         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4179
4180 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4181
4182         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
4183         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
4184         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
4185         these.
4186         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
4187         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
4188         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
4189         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
4190         save-stack.
4191
4192 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4193
4194         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
4195
4196         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
4197
4198         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
4199         error-catching-loop.
4200         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
4201         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
4202         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
4203
4204         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
4205         error-catching-loop.
4206
4207 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4208
4209         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
4210         (make-module): Rework for readability.
4211         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
4212         should be '(), not #f.
4213
4214         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
4215         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
4216
4217 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4218
4219         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
4220         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
4221         error-signal.
4222
4223 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4224
4225         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
4226         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
4227         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
4228         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
4229
4230 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4231
4232         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
4233
4234 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4235
4236         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
4237
4238         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
4239         throw-handler-default.
4240         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
4241         reported.
4242         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
4243         acro.
4244         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
4245         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
4246
4247 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4248
4249         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
4250         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
4251         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
4252         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
4253
4254 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4255
4256         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
4257         Append "." to the default %load-path.
4258         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
4259         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
4260         ...))
4261         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
4262         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
4263         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
4264         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
4265         file-is-directory?
4266
4267 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4268
4269         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
4270
4271         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
4272         distribution.
4273
4274         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
4275         `switch-repl'.
4276
4277         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
4278
4279 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4280
4281         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
4282         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
4283
4284 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4285
4286         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
4287
4288         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
4289
4290 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4291
4292         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
4293         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
4294         Don't set up 'error as a key.
4295         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
4296         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
4297
4298         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
4299         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
4300         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
4301         they seem redundant.
4302         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
4303         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
4304         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
4305         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
4306         directly files starting with "/").
4307         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
4308         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
4309
4310         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
4311
4312 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4313
4314         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
4315         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
4316         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
4317         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
4318         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
4319         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
4320         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
4321         robust to just do it in the C code.
4322
4323 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4324
4325         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
4326         %try-load itself was the primitive.
4327         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
4328         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
4329         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
4330
4331 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
