1 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
3 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
4 accept complex numbers as parameter.
6 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
8 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
9 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
11 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
13 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
14 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
15 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
16 instead of remove-if when iterating.
17 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
18 delete-if! when iterating.
20 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
22 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
24 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
26 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
28 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
30 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
31 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
32 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
33 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
35 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
37 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
38 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
40 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
42 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
43 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
44 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
45 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
47 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
49 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
50 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
52 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
54 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
55 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
57 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
59 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
62 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
64 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
65 source of the numerous very short changes.
67 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
69 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
72 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
75 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
77 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
80 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
82 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
83 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
85 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
87 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
90 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
92 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
93 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
94 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
96 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
98 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
99 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
100 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
101 Narazaki for this change.
103 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
105 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
106 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
109 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
110 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
112 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
114 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
115 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
117 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
119 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
120 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
121 use define-public to export from the module.
123 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
125 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
126 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
127 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
129 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
131 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
133 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
135 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
136 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
138 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
140 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
142 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
144 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
146 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
148 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
149 long_long uniform vectors.
151 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
153 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
154 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
156 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
158 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
159 script to create generated files like this one.
161 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
163 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
164 available before using getpw and getuid.
165 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
166 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
168 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
169 check for .guile, instead of stat.
170 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
172 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
173 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
174 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
176 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
177 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
179 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
181 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
183 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
186 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
187 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
189 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
191 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
193 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
194 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
195 ("position"): New command.
196 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
197 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
198 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
199 to return a valid state.)
200 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
202 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
204 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
205 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
208 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
210 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
211 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
213 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
215 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
217 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
219 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
220 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
222 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
223 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
224 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
226 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
229 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
231 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
232 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
234 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
236 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
238 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
239 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
240 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
241 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
243 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
246 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
247 both forward and backward views of the stack
248 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
249 Use selector `frame-number';
250 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
251 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
253 Use readline conditionally.
255 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
257 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
258 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
259 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
261 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
262 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
265 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
267 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
269 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
271 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
273 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
275 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
277 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
278 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
279 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
280 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
281 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
282 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
283 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
284 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
285 libguile-config-stamp.
286 * version.scm.in: Delete.
287 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
288 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
289 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
290 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
292 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
294 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
295 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
296 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
298 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
299 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
300 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
301 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
304 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
306 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
308 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
310 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
312 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
313 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
315 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
317 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
318 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
319 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
320 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
321 objects starting with '#/'.
323 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
325 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
326 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
327 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
328 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
329 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
330 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
332 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
333 module-modified): New procedures.
334 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
335 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
337 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
339 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
342 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
344 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
345 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
346 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
348 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
351 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
353 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
354 at multiple calls to read.
355 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
356 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
357 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
358 continued-lines prompt.
360 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
363 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
365 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
366 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
368 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
370 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
371 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
374 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
376 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
377 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
379 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
380 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
381 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
382 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
383 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
386 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
388 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
389 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
391 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
393 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
394 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
395 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
396 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
398 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
400 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
402 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
403 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
404 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
407 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
409 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
410 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
411 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
412 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
413 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
414 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
415 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
416 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
417 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
418 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
419 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
421 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
423 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
424 peeked from the stream.
425 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
426 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
427 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
429 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
431 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
432 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
434 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
436 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
437 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
438 exiting repl with single control-D.
440 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
442 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
443 error catching loop after quit received.
444 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
446 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
447 primitive exit if non-interactive.
448 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
450 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
451 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
453 * popen.scm: new file.
455 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
457 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
458 (reverse-iota): removed.
460 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
462 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
463 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
465 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
467 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
468 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
469 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
470 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
471 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
473 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
475 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
477 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
478 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
480 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
481 Guile's module system.
483 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
485 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
486 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
487 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
488 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
489 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
490 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
492 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
493 '() when the condition is false.
495 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
497 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
499 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
501 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
503 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
505 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
506 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
507 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
509 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
511 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
512 argument order for hash-fold.
514 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
516 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
518 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
519 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
521 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
522 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
523 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
524 has been added to the load path).
528 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
530 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
531 module between system and user state.
533 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
535 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
537 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
540 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
542 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
543 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
544 system can create a wrapper class for it.
546 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
548 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
549 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
550 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
551 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
552 stack frame encountered.
554 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
555 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
556 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
557 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
560 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
561 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
562 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
563 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
566 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
567 define-module switches:
572 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
575 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
576 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
577 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
578 module it is a system frame.
580 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
581 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
582 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
583 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
584 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
586 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
587 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
588 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
589 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
590 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
591 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
593 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
595 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
596 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
598 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
599 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
600 closure to the module.
602 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
604 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
606 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
608 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
610 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
612 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
614 Fix from Russ McManus:
615 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
616 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
617 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
618 either an optional or required value.
620 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
622 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
624 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
625 of the '() key, not `rest'.
627 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
628 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
629 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
630 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
632 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
634 * optargs.scm: New file.
635 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
636 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
638 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
640 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
641 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
642 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
644 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
646 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
647 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
650 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
652 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
654 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
656 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
657 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
658 applied to the module itself.
660 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
662 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
664 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
665 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
667 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
669 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
671 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
673 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
675 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
677 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
678 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
680 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
682 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
683 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
684 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
685 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
686 among BINDINGS is referenced.
687 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
688 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
690 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
692 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
693 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
695 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
697 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
698 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
701 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
703 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
705 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
707 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
709 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
711 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
712 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
713 adapt to the new hooks.
715 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
717 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
718 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
719 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
721 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
722 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
724 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
725 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
726 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
727 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
728 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
729 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
730 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
731 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
732 first to register linked modules.
734 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
735 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
736 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
738 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
739 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
740 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
741 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
743 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
745 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
748 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
749 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
750 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
752 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
754 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
755 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
756 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
758 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
760 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
761 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
762 result of the last form.
764 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
766 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
769 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
771 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
772 readline-set!: New options interface.
774 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
776 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
778 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
779 at the end of boot-9.scm.
781 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
783 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
784 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
786 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
788 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
790 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
792 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
793 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
795 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
797 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
799 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
801 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
804 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
806 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
807 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
809 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
811 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
813 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
814 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
815 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
817 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
818 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
820 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
821 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
822 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
824 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
825 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
826 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
827 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
828 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
829 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
831 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
833 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
834 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
836 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
838 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
839 and short vectors #h(...).
841 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
843 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
844 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
845 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
847 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
849 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
850 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
851 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
853 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
855 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
856 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
858 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
859 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
860 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
861 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
863 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
865 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
868 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
869 order to allow the empty list as arg.
870 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
871 context with traps enabled.
873 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
875 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
877 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
879 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
881 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
882 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
883 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
884 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
885 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
887 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
889 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
890 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
892 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
894 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
896 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
898 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
900 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
902 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
904 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
906 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
907 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
909 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
911 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
912 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
913 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
914 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
917 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
918 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
919 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
921 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
923 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
924 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
925 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
926 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
927 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
928 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
929 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
931 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
933 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
935 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
937 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
938 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
939 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
940 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
941 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
942 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
944 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
946 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
947 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
948 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
951 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
953 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
955 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
957 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
959 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
961 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
964 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
966 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
968 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
970 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
971 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
973 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
975 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
976 similar in use to `use-modules'.
977 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
978 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
980 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
981 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
983 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
985 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
987 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
989 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
990 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
993 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
994 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
996 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
997 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
998 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1000 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1002 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1004 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1006 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1007 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1009 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1011 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1013 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1015 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
1016 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1018 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1020 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
1023 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1025 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1026 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1028 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1030 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1032 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1034 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
1037 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1039 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1040 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
1041 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1042 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1043 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1046 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1048 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1049 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1050 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1052 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1054 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1056 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1057 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1059 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1061 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1062 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1063 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1064 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1065 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1066 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1067 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1070 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1072 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1075 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1077 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1078 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1079 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1080 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1081 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1082 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1084 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1086 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1087 usefully so they will work from a script.
1089 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1091 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1092 neighborhood of the record code.
1094 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1096 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1097 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1098 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1099 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1101 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1103 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1104 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1105 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1107 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1109 Add support for readline function.
1110 * readline.scm: New module.
1111 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1112 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1113 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1115 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1116 repl-reader to use them.
1117 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1119 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).

1135 #f, abort terminates the process.
1136 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1137 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1139 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

1157 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1159 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1161 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1163 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1165 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1166 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1167 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1168 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1169 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1171 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1172 distribution and installation.

1181 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1182 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1183 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1185 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1186 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1189 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1191 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1193 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1195 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1197 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1198 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1199 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1200 field a separate argument.
1202 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1204 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1206 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1208 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

1219 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1220 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1221 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1222 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1223 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1225 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1226 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1227 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1228 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1229 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1232 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1234 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

1243 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1245 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1246 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1247 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1248 expansion inside the slib module.
1250 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1252 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.

1260 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1261 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1262 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1264 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1265 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1268 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1270 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1271 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1273 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1275 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1276 (make-module): Modified initialization.

1288 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1290 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1291 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1292 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1293 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1294 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1296 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1297 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1298 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1300 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1301 the syncase interface.
1303 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1305 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1306 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1307 workings of the current module system).
1309 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1311 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1312 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

1321 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1323 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1324 according to the following priorities:
1325 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1326 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1328 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1329 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1330 (new-interpreter): New function.
1332 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1333 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1334 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1336 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1338 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1340 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1342 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".

1350 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1352 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1353 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the

1358 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1359 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

1364 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1367 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1368 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1369 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1370 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1371 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1373 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1374 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1376 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1378 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1379 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1381 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1382 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1384 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1386 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1388 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1389 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1390 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.

1394 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

1396 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1398 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1400 * session.scm: New file: Session support.

1408 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1410 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1411 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1412 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1414 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1415 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1418 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1419 order to narrow it correctly.
1420 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1422 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1424 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.

1427 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1429 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.

1433 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1434 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1436 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1438 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1439 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1440 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1442 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1444 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1447 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1449 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,

1455 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1457 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:

1474 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1475 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1476 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1477 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1478 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1479 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1481 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1482 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1483 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1484 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1486 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1488 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1489 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1490 sending in bug reports.
1491 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1492 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1493 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1494 display a warning if the two are different.
1495 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1496 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1497 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1499 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1501 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1503 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1505 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1506 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1508 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1509 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1510 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1511 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1512 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1513 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1516 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1517 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1520 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1521 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1523 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1526 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1529 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1531 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1534 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1536 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1537 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1539 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1541 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1542 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1543 to support printing of structures.
1544 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1545 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1546 commented out printing code.
1547 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1548 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".

1557 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1558 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1559 during call to scm-style-repl.
1561 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1563 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1564 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1565 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1566 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1567 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1569 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1571 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1572 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1575 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1577 * regex.scm: New file.
1578 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1579 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1581 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

1584 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1585 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1586 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1588 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1590 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1593 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1595 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1596 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1597 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1599 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1601 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1602 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1605 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1607 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1609 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1611 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1613 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1615 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1616 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1619 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1621 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1622 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1623 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1625 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1627 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1628 the Scheme code like code yet.
1629 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1631 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1633 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1634 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1635 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1637 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1639 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1641 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1644 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1646 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1648 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1650 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1652 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1653 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1654 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1656 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1658 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1659 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1660 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1662 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1664 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1665 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1667 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1669 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1672 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1674 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1676 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1678 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1679 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1681 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1683 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1684 instead of in libguile.
1685 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1686 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1688 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1690 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1692 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1693 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1695 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1697 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1698 sockaddr:port): new functions.
1700 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1702 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1703 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1704 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1705 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1707 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1709 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1710 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1712 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1714 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1716 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1718 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1719 keywords and symbols.
1721 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1723 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1725 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1726 Don't define read-sharp.
1728 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1729 (read-sharp): removed.
1730 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1731 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1733 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1735 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1737 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
1738 primitive procedure.)
1740 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1741 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1743 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1745 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1747 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1749 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1751 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1753 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1755 * (exit): alias for quit.
1757 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1759 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1760 return the quit args.
1761 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1762 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1763 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1765 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1767 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1769 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1771 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1772 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1774 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1775 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1777 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1778 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1781 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1783 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1785 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1786 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1787 Change hooks to use these functions.
1789 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1790 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1791 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1793 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1794 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1795 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1796 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1797 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1798 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1799 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1802 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1803 and exit-frame exceptions.
1805 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1806 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1807 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1808 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1809 result; otherwise display "> ".
1810 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1812 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1813 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1814 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1815 repository version runnable.
1817 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1819 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1820 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1821 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1822 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1823 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1824 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1826 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1828 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1829 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1831 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1833 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1834 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1836 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1838 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1840 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1842 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1845 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1847 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1848 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1850 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1852 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1855 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1857 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1858 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1860 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1862 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1864 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1865 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1866 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1867 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1868 dynamic linking of modules.
1869 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1870 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1872 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1874 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1876 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1878 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1881 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1882 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1885 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1887 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1888 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1889 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1891 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1893 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1894 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1897 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1899 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1900 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1901 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1903 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1905 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1906 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1907 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1908 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1910 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1911 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1912 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1913 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1914 (such as the-scm-module).
1916 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1918 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1921 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1923 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1924 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1925 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1927 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1929 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1930 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1931 function, use it accordingly.
1933 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1935 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1936 function of no arguments.
1937 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1938 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1939 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1940 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1941 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1942 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1943 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1944 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1946 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1948 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1949 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1951 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1953 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1954 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1955 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1956 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1957 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1959 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1962 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1963 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1964 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1965 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1967 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1969 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1971 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1972 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1973 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1975 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1978 Added `before-read-hook'.
1980 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1982 (provide): New function.
1984 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1987 (backtrace): New function.
1989 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1990 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1991 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1992 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1993 is found in operator position in a frame.
1995 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1998 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1999 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2000 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2002 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
2004 (library-vicinity): Updated.
2006 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2008 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2010 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2012 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2014 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2015 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
2017 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2018 so they'll get distributed.
2020 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
2021 should see as little clutter as possible.
2022 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2023 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2024 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2026 * r4rs.scm: New file.
2027 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2028 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2029 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2030 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2031 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2032 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2033 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2034 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2035 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2037 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2038 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2040 * test.scm: New file.
2042 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2043 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
2044 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2046 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2047 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2049 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2051 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2052 call %load-announce.
2054 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2056 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2057 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2058 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2060 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2062 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2064 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2065 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2066 SCSH (which this isn't).
2068 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2070 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2072 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2074 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2075 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2076 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2078 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2079 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2080 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2081 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2084 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2086 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2088 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2090 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2091 error-catching-loop.
2092 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2093 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2094 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2096 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2097 error-catching-loop.
2099 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2101 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2102 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2103 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2104 should be '(), not #f.
2106 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2107 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2109 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2111 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2112 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2115 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2117 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2118 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2119 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2120 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2122 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2124 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2126 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2128 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2130 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2131 throw-handler-default.
2132 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2134 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2136 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2137 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2139 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2141 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2142 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2143 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2144 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2146 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2148 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2149 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2150 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2151 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2153 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2154 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2155 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2156 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2159 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2161 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2163 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2166 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2169 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2171 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2173 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2174 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2176 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2178 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2180 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2182 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2184 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2185 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2186 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2187 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2188 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2190 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2191 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2192 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2193 they seem redundant.
2194 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2195 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2196 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2197 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2198 directly files starting with "/").
2199 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2200 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2202 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2204 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2206 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2207 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2208 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2209 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2210 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2211 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2212 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2213 robust to just do it in the C code.
2215 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2217 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2218 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2219 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2220 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2221 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2223 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2225 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2226 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2227 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2229 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2231 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2232 system-error, not every kind of error.
2233 (scm-error): new procedure.
2235 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2237 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2239 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2241 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2242 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2243 of args are supplied.
2244 (%%system-errors): removed.
2245 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2246 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2247 %%handle-system-error.
2248 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2249 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2250 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2251 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2253 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2255 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2256 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2257 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2258 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2260 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2262 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2263 the empty list if they are #f.
2264 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2266 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2268 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2270 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2271 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2272 aborting, just the key and subr.
2273 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2274 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2275 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2277 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2279 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2280 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2281 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2282 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2283 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2285 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2287 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2288 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2289 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2290 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2292 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2294 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2295 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2296 initialize %load-path.
2298 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2299 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2301 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2303 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2304 Add the directory named after the version number.
2305 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2306 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2307 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2308 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2309 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2310 (install): Create the above directories.
2311 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2312 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2314 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2316 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2317 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2318 in the Makefile directly.
2319 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2321 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2323 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2324 here, where people expect to find them.
2326 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2328 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2329 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2331 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2333 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2335 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2336 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2338 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2340 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2341 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2343 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2344 weak-key-hash-table.
2346 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2348 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2349 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2350 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2351 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2352 (%open-file): removed.
2353 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2354 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2356 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2358 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2359 (manifest): Deleted.
2360 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2361 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2363 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2365 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2366 now that they throw errors directly.
2367 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2368 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2370 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2372 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2374 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
2376 * The more things change...
