 136 2003-01-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 137
 138         * syncase.scm (guile-macro): Strip syntactic information from
 139         expression before trying to treat it as a Guile macro call.
 140         (Thanks to Kevin Ryde.)
 141
 142 2003-01-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 143

 149         futures.
 150
 151 2003-01-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 152
 153         * occam-channel.scm (alt): New syntax.
 154
 155         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Removed.  Guile now provides this
 156         operator as a primitive procedure.
 157         (build-data): Quote vectors (psyntax.ss requires this).
 158
 159 2003-01-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 160
 161         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Allow procedures implanted in
 162         source.  (Guile uses this internally.)
 163
 164 2003-01-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 165
 166         * psyntax.ss (build-data): Don't quote self-evaluating expressions
 167         in output.  (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be
 168         quoted, but until Guile's native macros and syncase cooperates
 169         better, it is less destructive not to quote.)
 170         (self-evaluating?): Removed null? (In Guile, the empty list is not
 171         self-evaluating).
 172         (sc-chi): Export chi as sc-chi.
 173         (external-macro): New syntax type.
 174
 175         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 176
 177         * compile-psyntax.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure.
 178
 179         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Return *unspecified*.
 180
 181         * syncase.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure to
 182         the-syncase-eval-closure during booting so that variables are
 183         created in the correct module.
 184         (syncase): Set expansion-eval-closure.
 185         (define-syntax define-syntax-public eval-when fluid-let-syntax
 186         identifier-syntax let-syntax letrec-syntax syntax syntax-case
 187         syntax-rules with-syntax include): Removed definitions (these are
 188         created from within psyntax.pp).
 189         Enable expansion of Guile macros during a syntax-case
 190         transformation.
 191
 192 2003-01-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 193
 194         * occam-channel.scm (make-channel): Renamed from channel.
 195         (make-timer): New function.
 196
 197         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added occam-channel.scm.
 198
 199         * occam-channel.scm: New file.  Implements occam-like channels.
 200
 201 2002-12-28  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 202
 203         * boot-9.scm (module-defined-hook): New hook, run whenever a new
 204         module is defined.
 205         (process-define-module): Run this hook.
 206
 207 2002-12-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
 208
 209         * threads.scm: Removed bogus definition of future-ref.
 210
 211 2002-12-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 212
 213         * threads.scm (par-map, par-for-each): Reimplemented using
 214         joing-thread.
 215         (parallel): Reimplemented using futures.
 216         (n-par-map, n-for-each): New procedures.
 217
 218 2002-12-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 219
 220         * optargs.scm (improper-list-copy): New.
 221         (parse-arglist): Use it instead of list-copy.
 222
 223 2002-12-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 224
 225         * threads.scm (letpar): New macro.
 226
 227 2002-12-08  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 228
 229         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION ->
 230         GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.

 234
 235         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION -> GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.

 237 2002-12-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

 240          (par-map, par-for-each): New procedures.
 241
 242         * documentation.scm (object-documentation): Added support for

 251
 252         Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
 253         following changes:
 254
 255         * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
 256
 257         (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
 258         %system-define.
 259
 260         * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
 261         until Guile supports hygienic macros.
 262
 263 2002-11-17  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 264
 265         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
 266         has been removed from the core.
 267
 268 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 269
 270         * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
 271         identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
 272         syntax-rules, with-syntax, include):  Changed definitions to form
 273         'real' macro definitions.
 274
 275 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 276
 277         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 278         Fixed my previous fix (blush).
 279
 280 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 281
 282         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 283         Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
 284
 285 2002-11-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 286
 287         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition
 288         needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.
 289
 290 2002-11-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 291
 292         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"
 293         change below.

 296         recording when module is loaded.
 297         (##): Cope with ports whose `filename' is not a string.
 298

 302         code.
 303
 304         * debugger/command-loop.scm (read-and-dispatch-command): Import
 305         set-readline-prompt dynamically if we need to.  (Previous
 306         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
 307         readline).)
 308
 309 2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 310
 311         * format.scm (format): Wrap a monitor around format:format since
 312         it is not thread-safe.
 313
 314 2002-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 315
 316         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'.  This

 325         - see comment in file for more details.

 330
 331         * debugger/commands.scm, debugger/command-loop.scm,
 332         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits
 333         of old (ice-9 debugger), plus some rewriting and enhancements for

 344         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
 345         execution from a breakpoint.
 346
 347         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,
 348         debugger/breakpoints/procedural.scm,
 349         debugger/breakpoints/range.scm, debugger/breakpoints/source.scm,
 350         debugger/trap-hooks.scm, debugger/trc.scm: New files - breakpoint

 358
 359         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Do not call unmask-signals, that
 360         should be unnecessary now.
 361
 362 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 363
 364         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
 365         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
 366         the-root-module.
 367
 368 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 369
 370         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
 371         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and
 372         call-with-unblocked-asyncs instead of mask-signals and
 373         unmask-signals.
 374
 375 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 376
 377         * buffered-input.scm (make-buffered-input-port): Build an
 378         input-waiting thunk for just extended version of make-soft-port.
 379
 380 2002-10-04  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 381
 382         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
 383         >= 0.
 384
 385 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 386
 387         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to
 388         limit the signal stack.

 398 2002-09-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 399
 400         * syncase.scm: Set the module transformer of the-syncase-module so
 401         that we can use define-syntax.

 407         (sc-macro): Set the expansion-eval-closure expanding the form.
 408         (putprop, getprop): Use the expansion-eval-closure to find
 409         variables instead of the current module.

 412
 413         * slib.scm (make-exchanger): Added.  Thanks to Clinton Ebadi!

 419
 420 2002-06-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 421
 422         * boot-9.scm (file-set-position): Make third argument optional,
 423         for SCM compatibility.

 427
 428         * boot-9.scm (file-set-position): Use seek instead of fseek.

 437

 439
 440         * format.scm (format:fn-max): Increase to 400 so ~f and ~g can
 441         print long real numbers with large positive and negative
 442         exponents.

 449
 450         * gap-buffer.scm: New file.

 471
 472 2002-02-24  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 473
 474         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
 475         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
 476         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
 477
 478         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.
 479

 489
 490 2002-01-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 491
 492         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
 493         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
 494         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
 495         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
 496
 497 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 498

 502         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
 503         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
 504
 505 2001-11-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 506
 507         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have
 508         these in the core.
 509
 510 2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 511

 515         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
 516         positions.

 519
 520         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 521         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 522         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 523
 524         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,

 531           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 532           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 533           exporting bindings.
 534
 535 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 536
 537         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
 538         :re-export-syntax
 539
 540 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 541
 542         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 543         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 544         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 545         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 546
 547 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 548
 549         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,

 556         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.

 563
 564 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 565
 566         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 567         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
 568
 569 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 570
 571         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 572         the `arglist' procedure property.
 573         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 574         present a more detailed argument list.
 575
 576         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 577
 578 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 579
 580         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
 581         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel
 582         Skarda.
 583
 584 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 585
 586         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
 587
 588         (feature?): Deprecated.
 589
 590         (id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags,

 598
 599         (module-make-local-var!, module-ensure-local-variable!,
 600         module-define!): Eliminate call to `variable-set-name-hint!´.
 601
 602         (try-load-module, use-syntax, module-export!): Remove deprecated
 603         functionality.
 604
 605         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
 606         needed to trick export.
 607
 608 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 609
 610         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.
 611
 612 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 613
 614         * and-let-star-compat.scm:  Deleted.

 617
 618 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 619
 620         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
 621         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
 622         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
 623
 624 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 625
 626         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
 627         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
 628
 629 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 630
 631         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

 633 2001-08-12  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 634
 635         * getopt-long.scm: Rewrite.

 639 2001-08-02  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 640
 641         * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
 642         last-command fluid is not yet set.
 643

 645
 646         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
 647
 648         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'

 650         next element is to be taken as the option arg.
 651
 652 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
 653
 654         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
 655         handle :use-syntax correctly.
 656
 657 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 658
 659         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
 660         compile-psyntax.scm.
 661
 662 2001-07-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 663
 664         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in

 667         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
 668         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
 669
 670 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 671
 672         * and-let-star.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm, history.scm,
 673         lineio.scm, null.scm, optargs.scm, r4rs.scm, r5rs.scm,
 674         receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
 675
 676 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 677
 678         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 679         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
 680
 681 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 682
 683         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
 684         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
 685         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
 686         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
 687
 688         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 689         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
 690         since there aren't definitions for them.
 691
 692         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
 693         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
 694
 695 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 696
 697         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
 698         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
 699
 700 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 701
 702         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
 703         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
 704
 705 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 706
 707         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
 708         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
 709         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
 710

 721
 722         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
 723         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.

 725         New.
 726
 727 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 728
 729         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
 730         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
 731
 732 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 733
 734         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.

 752
 753 2001-06-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 754
 755         * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
 756         `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
 757
 758 2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 759
 760         * match.scm:
 761         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
 762         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
 763         No longer require `pretty-print'.
 764
 765         (slib:error): Delete.
 766         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.

 776
 777 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 778
 779         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
 780         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
 781         rdelim) module.  See below.
 782
 783 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 784
 785         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
 786         include-deprecated-features is true.
 787
 788 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 789
 790         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
 791         unknown objects.
 792
 793         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
 794         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
 795         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 796
 797         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
 798         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
 799         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
 800         Köppe!

 802 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 803
 804         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
 805         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
 806         variable, not just a visible one.
 807         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
 808         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
 809         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
 810         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
 811         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
 812         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
 813         variables.
 814         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
 815
 816         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
 817         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
 818
 819 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 820
 821         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
 822         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
 823
 824 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 825
 826         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
 827
 828 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 829
 830         Added exception notice to all files.
 831
 832         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
 833         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
 834         importing bindings once in a while.
 835
 836 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 837
 838         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
 839         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
 840         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 841         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
 842         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 843         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 844         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 845         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
 846         message.
 847         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
 848         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
 849
 850 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 851
 852         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
 853         fix command so that it works.
 854
 855         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
 856         to access unbound variables.
 857
 858         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
 859         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
 860         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
 861         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
 862         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
 863
 864 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 865
 866         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
 867         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
 868         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
 869         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
 870         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
 871         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
 872         argument for process-define-module.
 873         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
 874         arguments for process-use-modules.
 875         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
 876
 877 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 880         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
 881         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
 882         module.
 883
 884         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
 885         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
 886         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
 887
 888         * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.

 895
 896 2001-05-21  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 897

 902
 903         * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
 904         (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when

 906
 907 2001-05-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 908
 909         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when

 916
 917         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
 918         * match.scm: Likewise.
 919         * expect.scm: Likewise.
 920         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 921
 922         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
 923
 924         * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
 925
 926         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
 927         set-current-module.
 928         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
 929         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
 930         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
 931         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
 932         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
 933         element list when adding "." to it.

 935         dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
 936

 938
 939         * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
 940         cleanup; nfc.
 941         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
 942         now accepts arg; update callers.
 943         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
 944         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
 945
 946         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
 947         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
 948         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
 949         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
 950         `search-documentation-files'.
 951         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
 952         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.

 955         * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation

 971         used module's public interface is not available.
 972         No longer call `beautify-user-module!'.
 973         Signal error now also if selected binding not found.
 974
 975 2001-05-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 981         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
 982
 983         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
 984         the magical undefined value.
 985         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
 986         the default default for bindings.
 987
 988         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
 989         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 990         (root-module-closure): Removed.
 991         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 992         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.

 994         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 995         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.  Set the
 996         eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
 997         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
 998         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 999         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
1000         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
1001         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
1002         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
1003         `set-current-module' call.
1004         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
1005         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.
1006

1008         insert `debug-options' into the-root-module.

1038         or a interface spec.
1039         (symbol-prefix-proc): New proc.
1040         (%autoloader-developer-mode): Delete.
1041         (process-define-module): Use "define-module" in error messages
1042         instead of "defmodule".  Factor error into internal proc.
1043         Rewrite `use-module' and `use-syntax' handlers.
1044         Replace some single-arm `if-not' constructs w/ `or'.
1045         (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
1046         which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
1047         (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use

1347         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
1348         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
1349
1350         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
1351         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
1352
1353         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
1354         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.

1356 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1357
1358         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
1359         in C for now.
1360         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
1361         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
1362
1363 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1364
1365         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
1366         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
1367         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
1368         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.

1370         for now.

1373
1374 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1375
1376         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1377         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1378         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1379         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1380         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1381         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1382         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.

1390
1391         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings

1393
1394 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1395

1418
1419 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1420
1421         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1422         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1423         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1424         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1425         scm-style-repl.

1432 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1433
1434         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1435         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1436         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1437         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1438         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1439         Pirotte for the bug report).
1440         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1441         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

1464
1465         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1466         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1467         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1468
1469         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1470         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1471         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1472         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1473         actual documentation entries themselves.

1504         `symbol-append'.
1505         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1506         args.
1507         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1508         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1509         even worked...  /mdj.
1510         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1511         `symbol->string'.

1520 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1521
1522         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
1523         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
1524
1525 2000-08-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1526
1527         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.
1528

1533 2000-08-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1534
1535         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive.  (Thanks to

1537
1538 2000-08-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1539
1540         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1541         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1542         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1543         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1544         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1545
1546         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1547
1548 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1549
1550         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
1551         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1552
1553         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1554         syntactic bindings.
1555
1556         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1557         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1558         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
1559         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1560
1561         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
1562
1563         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
1564         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
1565
1566         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
1567
1568         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1569         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1570
1571 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1572
1573         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1574         definition of module-type.
1575
1576         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1577
1578         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1579
1580         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1581         lines.
1582         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1583         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1584
1585 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1586
1587         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
1588
1589 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1590
1591         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
1592         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
1593         Mikael for the suggestion.
1594
1595 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1596
1597         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1598         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1599
1600 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1601
1602         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1603         for export args.
1604
1605 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1606
1607         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
1608
1609 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1610
1611         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1612         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
1613         for the hint.
1614
1615         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
1616         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
1617         tail recursive yet.
1618
1619 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1620
1621         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1622         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1623
1624         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1625         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1626         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1627         See NEWS.
1628         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1629
1630         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1631
1632 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1633
1634         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1635         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1636
1637 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1638
1639         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1640         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1641
1642 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1643
1644         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
1645         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1646
1647 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1648
1649         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1650
1651         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1652
1653         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1654
1655 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1656
1657         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1658         '() instead of #f.
1659         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1660         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1661         `the-root-module'.
1662         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1663
1664         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1665         documentation.scm.
1666
1667         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1668         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1669         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1670         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1671         (help): Rewritten.
1672
1673         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1674
1675         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1676
1677 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1678
1679         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1680         (write-all): Removed.
1681         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
1682         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
1683
1684 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
1685
1686         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1687         `proc-documentation'
1688
1689         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
1690         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1691         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1692         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1693         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1694         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1695         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1696         getter...)
1697
1698 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1699
1700         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
1701
1702 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1703
1704         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1705         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
1706         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1707         closure.
1708
1709 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1710
1711         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
1712         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1713         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
1714         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
1715         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1716         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1717         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1718
1719 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1720
1721         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
1722         accept complex numbers as parameter.
1723
1724 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1725
1726         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1727         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
1728
1729 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1730
1731         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1732         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1733         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1734         instead of remove-if when iterating.
1735         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1736         delete-if! when iterating.
1737
1738 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1739
1740         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1741
1742 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1743
1744         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
1745
1746 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1747
1748         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1749         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
1750         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1751         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1752
1753 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1754
1755         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
1756         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1757
1758 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1759
1760         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
1761         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1762         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
1763         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
1764
1765 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1766
1767         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1768         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1769
1770 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1771
1772         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1773         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1774
1775 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1776
1777         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1778         Dirk Hermann!
1779
1780 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1781
1782         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1783         source of the numerous very short changes.
1784
1785 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1786
1787         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1788         public.
1789
1790         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1791         info pages.
1792
1793 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1794
1795         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1796         from slib docs.
1797
1798 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1799
1800         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1801         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1802
1803 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1804
1805         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1806         to string-append.
1807
1808 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1809
1810         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1811         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
1812         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1813
1814 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1815
1816         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1817         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1818         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
1819         Narazaki for this change.
1820
1821 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1822
1823         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1824         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1825         %S.
1826
1827         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1828         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1829
1830 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1831
1832         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1833         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1834
1835 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1836
1837         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1838         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1839         use define-public to export from the module.
1840
1841 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1842
1843         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1844         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1845         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1846
1847 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1848
1849         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1850
1851 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1852
1853         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1854         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1855
1856 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1857
1858         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1859
1860         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1861
1862         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1863
1864 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1865
1866         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1867         long_long uniform vectors.
1868
1869 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1870
1871         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1872         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
1873
1874 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1875
1876         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
1877         script to create generated files like this one.
1878
1879 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1880
1881         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1882         available before using getpw and getuid.
1883         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1884         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1885         check for stat.
1886         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1887         check for .guile, instead of stat.
1888         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1889         available.
1890         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
1891         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1892         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1893
1894         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
1895         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1896
1897         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.

1902         than 'exit-debugger.
1903
1904         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1905         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1906
1907         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1908
1909 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1910

1921
1922         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1923         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
1924         Badros.)
1925
1926 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1927
1928         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1929         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1930
1931 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1932
1933         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

1948
1949         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1950         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1951
1952         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1953
1954 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1955
1956         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1957         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1958         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1959         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1960
1961         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1962         argument.
1963
1964         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1965         both forward and backward views of the stack
1966         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1967         Use selector `frame-number';
1968         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1969         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1970         Use (ice-9 debug).
1971         Use readline conditionally.
1972
1973 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1974
1975         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1976         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1977         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1978
1979         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1980         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
1981         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
1982
1983 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1984
1985         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1986
1987         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1988
1989         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1990
1991         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1992
1993 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1994
1995         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1996         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
1997         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
1998         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1999         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
2000         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
2001         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
2002         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
2003         libguile-config-stamp.
2004         * version.scm.in: Delete.
2005         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
2006         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
2007         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
2008         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
2009
2010 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2011
2012         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
2013         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
2014         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
2015
2016         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
2017         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
2018         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
2019         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
2020         readline.
2021
2022         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
2023
2024 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
2025
2026         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
2027
2028 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2029
2030         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
2031         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
2032
2033 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
2034
2035         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
2036         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
2037         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
2038         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
2039         objects starting with '#/'.
2040
2041 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2042
2043         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
2044         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
2045         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
2046         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
2047         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
2048         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
2049         `observer-id'.
2050         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
2051         module-modified): New procedures.
2052         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
2053         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
2054
2055 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2056
2057         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
2058         defines.
2059
2060 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2061
2062         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
2063         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
2064         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2065
2066         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
2067         position.
2068
2069 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2070
2071         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
2072         at multiple calls to read.
2073         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
2074         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
2075         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
2076         continued-lines prompt.
2077
2078         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
2079         reading expressions.
2080
2081 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2082
2083         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
2084         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2085
2086 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2087
2088         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
2089         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
2090         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2091
2092         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2093
2094         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
2095         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
2096
2097         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
2098         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
2099         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
2100         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
2101         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
2102         instead of a port.
2103
2104 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2105
2106         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
2107         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2108
2109         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
2110
2111         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
2112         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
2113         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
2114         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
2115
2116         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
2117
2118         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2119
2120         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
2121         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
2122         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
2123         an alist.
2124
2125         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2126
2127         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
2128         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
2129         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
2130         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
2131         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
2132         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2133         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
2134         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
2135         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
2136         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2137         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
2138
2139         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2140
2141         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
2142         peeked from the stream.
2143         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
2144         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
2145         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
2146
2147         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2148
2149         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
2150         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
2151
2152         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2153
2154         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2155         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
2156         exiting repl with single control-D.
2157
2158         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2159
2160         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2161         error catching loop after quit received.
2162         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2163
2164         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2165         primitive exit if non-interactive.
2166         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2167
2168         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2169         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2170         boot-9.scm.
2171         * popen.scm: new file.
2172
2173 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2174
2175        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
2176        (reverse-iota):  removed.
2177
2178 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2179
2180         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
2181         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
2182
2183 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2184
2185         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2186         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2187         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2188         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2189         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2190
2191 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2192
2193         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2194
2195         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2196         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2197
2198         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2199         Guile's module system.
2200
2201         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2202         changes:
2203         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2204         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2205         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2206         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
2207         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2208         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2209         modern CL behavior.
2210         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2211         '() when the condition is false.

2217 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2218
2219         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2220
2221 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2222
2223         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2224         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2225         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2226
2227 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2228
2229         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2230         argument order for hash-fold.

2234         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
2235         resolve-module.
2236         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2237         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2238
2239         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2240         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2241         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2242         has been added to the load path).
2243
2244         Use try-load-module.
2245
2246 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2247
2248         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
2249         module between system and user state.
2250
2251 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2252
2253         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2254
2255         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2256         definition.
2257
2258 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2259
2260         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2261         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2262         system can create a wrapper class for it.
2263
2264 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2265
2266         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2267         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
2268         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2269         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2270         stack frame encountered.
2271
2272         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2273         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2274         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2275         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2276         list).]
2277
2278         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2279         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2280         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2281         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2282         please tell me!]
2283
2284         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2285         define-module switches:
2286
2287         (define-module (foo)
2288           :no-backtrace)
2289
2290         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2291         modules.
2292
2293         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2294         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2295         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2296         module it is a system frame.
2297
2298         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2299         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2300         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2301         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2302         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2303
2304         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2305         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
2306         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2307         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2308         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
2309         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2310
2311         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2312         status of a module.;
2313         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2314         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2315
2316         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2317         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2318         closure to the module.
2319
2320         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2321
2322 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2323
2324         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
2325
2326 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2327
2328         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
2329
2330 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2331
2332         Fix from Russ McManus:
2333         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2334         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2335         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2336         either an optional or required value.
2337
2338 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2339
2340         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2341
2342         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2343         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2344
2345         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2346         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2347         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2348         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2349
2350 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2351
2352         * optargs.scm: New file.
2353         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2354         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2355
2356 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2357
2358         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2359         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2360         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2361
2362 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2363
2364         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2365         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2366         for isn't loaded.
2367
2368 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2369
2370         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2371
2372 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2373
2374         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2375         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2376         applied to the module itself.
2377
2378 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2379
2380         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2381
2382         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2383         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2384
2385 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2386
2387         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2388
2389 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2390
2391         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2392
2393 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2394
2395         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2396         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2397
2398 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2399
2400         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2401         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2402         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2403         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2404         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2405         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2406         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2407
2408 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2409
2410         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2411         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2412
2413 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2414
2415         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2416         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2417         static libraries.
2418
2419 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2420
2421         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2422
2423 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2424
2425         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2426
2427 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2428
2429         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2430         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2431         adapt to the new hooks.
2432
2433 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2434
2435         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2436         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2437         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2438         code.
2439         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2440         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2441
2442         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2443         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2444         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2445         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2446         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2447         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2448         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2449         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2450         first to register linked modules.
2451
2452         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2453         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2454         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2455
2456         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2457         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2458         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2459         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2460
2461         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2462         to use from C:
2463         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2464         libguile/feature.c.
2465
2466         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2467         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2468         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2469
2470 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2471
2472         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2473         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2474         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2475
2476 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2477
2478         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2479         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2480         result of the last form.
2481
2482 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2483
2484         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2485         syncase.scm.
2486
2487         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2488
2489         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2490         readline-set!: New options interface.
2491
2492         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2493
2494 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2495
2496         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2497         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2498
2499 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2500
2501         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2502         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2503
2504 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2505
2506         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2507         interactive session.
2508         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2509
2510         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2511         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2512
2513 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2514
2515         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2516
2517 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2518
2519         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2520         read line was empty.
2521
2522 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2523
2524         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2525         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2526
2527         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2528
2529         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2530         problem.  Duh.
2531         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2532         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2533         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2534
2535         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2536         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2537         into...
2538         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2539         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2540         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2541
2542         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2543         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2544         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2545         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2546         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2547         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2548         psyntax.ss.
2549         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2550
2551         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2552         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2553
2554 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2555
2556         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2557         and short vectors #h(...).
2558
2559 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2560
2561         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2562         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2563         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2564
2565 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2566
2567         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2568         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2569         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2570
2571 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2572
2573         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2574         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2575
2576         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2577         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2578         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2579         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2580
2581 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2582
2583         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2584         trace flag.
2585
2586         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2587         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2588         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2589         context with traps enabled.
2590
2591 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2592
2593         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2594         module.
2595         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2596
2597 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2598
2599         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2600         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2601         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2602         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2603         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2604
2605 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2606
2607         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2608         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2609
2610 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2611
2612         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2613
2614 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2615
2616         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2617
2618 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2619
2620         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2621
2622 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2623
2624         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2625         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2626
2627 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2628
2629         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2630         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2631         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2632         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
2633         Archibald.)
2634
2635         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2636         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2637         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2638
2639 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2640
2641         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2642         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2643         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2644         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
2645         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2646         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2647         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2648
2649 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2650
2651         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2652
2653 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2654
2655         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2656         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2657         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
2658         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2659         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2660         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2661
2662 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2663
2664         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2665         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2666         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
2667         Steven G. Johnson.)
2668
2669 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2670
2671         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2672
2673 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2674
2675         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2676
2677 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2678
2679         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2680         be completed.
2681
2682 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2683
2684         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2685
2686 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2687
2688         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2689         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2690
2691 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2692
2693         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2694         similar in use to `use-modules'.
2695         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2696         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2697         transformer.
2698         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2699         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2700
2701 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2702
2703         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2704
2705 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2706
2707         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2708         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2709         completion.
2710
2711         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2712         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2713
2714         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2715         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2716         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2717
2718         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2719
2720 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2721
2722         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2723
2724         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2725         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2726
2727 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2728
2729         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2730
2731 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2732
2733         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
2734         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2735
2736         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2737
2738         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
2739         obsolete.
2740
2741 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2742
2743         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2744         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2745
2746 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2747
2748         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2749
2750 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2751
2752         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
2753         Stachowiak.)
2754
2755 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2756
2757         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2758         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
2759         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2760         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2761         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2762         threads.
2763
2764 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2765
2766         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2767         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2768         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2769
2770 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2771
2772         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2773
2774         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2775         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2776
2777 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2778
2779         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2780         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2781         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2782         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2783         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
2784         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2785         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2786         to go here.
2787
2788 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2789
2790         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2791         is now a fluid.
2792
2793 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2794
2795         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2796         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2797         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
2798         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
2799         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2800         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2801
2802 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2803
2804         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2805         usefully so they will work from a script.
2806
2807 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2808
2809         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2810         neighborhood of the record code.
2811
2812 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2813
2814         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
2815         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2816         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2817         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2818
2819 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2820
2821         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2822         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2823         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2824
2825 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2826
2827         Add support for readline function.
2828         * readline.scm: New module.
2829         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2830         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2831         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2832         anything.
2833         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2834         repl-reader to use them.
2835         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2836
2837         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2838
2839 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2840
2841         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2842         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2843
2844 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2845
2846         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2847         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2848         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2849
2850 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2851
2852         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
2853         #f, abort terminates the process.
2854         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2855         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
2856
2857 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2858
2859         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2860         print-state, throw it away.
2861
2862 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2863
2864         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2865         `0'.
2866
2867 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2868
2869         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2870         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2871         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2872         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2873         user field).
2874         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2875         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2876
2877 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2878
2879         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2880
2881 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2882
2883         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2884         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2885         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2886         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2887         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2888         boot-9.scm.
2889         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2890         distribution and installation.
2891         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2892
2893 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2894
2895         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
2896
2897 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2898
2899         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2900         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
2901         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2902
2903         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2904         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2905         symbol.
2906
2907 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2908
2909         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
2910
2911         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
2912
2913 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2914
2915         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2916         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2917         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2918         field a separate argument.
2919
2920         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2921
2922 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2923
2924         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2925
2926         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
2927         vicinity;
2928         Provide defmacro.
2929
2930 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2931
2932         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
2933
2934 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2935
2936         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2937         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2938         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2939         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2940         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
2941         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2942         registered.
2943         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2944         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2945         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2946         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2947         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2948         link a .so-file.

2960
2961         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2962
2963         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2964         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2965         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
2966         expansion inside the slib module.
2967
2968         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
2969         constructors.

2976         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2977
2978         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2979         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2980         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2981         source.
2982         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2983         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2984         been loaded.
2985
2986 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

2992
2993         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

2995         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
2996         mutator for module-associated transformer.
2997         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
2998         `scm:eval-transformer'.
2999         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
3000         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
3001         module.
3002         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
3003
3004 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3005
3006         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
3007
3008         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
3009         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
3010         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
3011         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
3012         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
3013
3014         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
3015         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
3016         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
3017         syncase macros.
3018         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
3019         the syncase interface.
3020
3021 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3022
3023         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
3024         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
3025         workings of the current module system).
3026
3027 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3028
3029         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
3030         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
3031         off!
3032
3033 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3038
3039 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3040
3041         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
3042         according to the following priorities:
3043         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
3044         2. bindings from the-scm-module
3045         3. tcl bindings
3046         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
3047         disabling the scheme interpreter.
3048         (new-interpreter): New function.
3049
3050         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
3051         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
3052         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
3053

3063

3069
3070         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
3071         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
3072         source!
3073
3074 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

3081         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
3082         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
3083         in stack-ref).
3084
3085         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
3086         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
3087         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
3088         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
3089         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
3090         result protocol;

3103
3104 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3105
3106         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
3107         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
3108         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
3109
3110         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
3111
3112         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
3113         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
3114         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
3115

3124         cstime.
3125
3126 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3127
3128         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
3129         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
3130         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
3131
3132         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
3133         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
3134         the top.
3135
3136         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
3137         order to narrow it correctly.
3138         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

3147         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.

3150
3151         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
3152         builtin `with-fluids*'.
3153
3154 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3155
3156         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3157         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
3158         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
3159
3160 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3172
3173 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3174
3175         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
3176         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
3177         a default of /.
3178
3179         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
3180
3181 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

3183         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
3184         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list

3192         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3193         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3194         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
3195         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3196         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3197         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3198
3199         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3200         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3201         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3202         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3203
3204 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3205
3206         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3207         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
3208         sending in bug reports.
3209         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3210         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3211         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3212         display a warning if the two are different.
3213         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3214         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3215         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3216
3217 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

3224         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3225
3226         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3227         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3228         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3229         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3230         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3231         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3232         that's okay.
3233
3234         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
3235         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3236         regexp interface.
3237
3238         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3239         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
3240
3241         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3242         function names.
3243

3248
3249         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3250         ../configure.in.
3251
3252 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3253
3254         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3255         vtable and not the one of the struct.
3256
3257 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3258
3259         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3260         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3261         to support printing of structures.
3262         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3263         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
3264         commented out printing code.
3265         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3266         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
3267
3268 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3269
3270         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3271
3272 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3273
3274         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3275         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3276         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3277         during call to scm-style-repl.

3279 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3280
3281         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3282         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3283         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3284         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3285         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3286
3287 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3288
3289         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3290         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3291         (ice-9 regex).
3292
3293 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3294
3295         * regex.scm: New file.
3296         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3297         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3298
3299 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3300
3301         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
3302         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
3303         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
3304         threads.scm: New address for FSF.
3305
3306 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3307
3308         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
3309         in 1997.
3310
3311 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3312
3313         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3314         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3315         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3316
3317 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3318
3319         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3320         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3321         here.
3322
3323 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3324
3325         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3326
3327 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3328
3329         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3330
3331 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3332
3333         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3334         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3335         fixes this too.
3336
3337 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3338
3339         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3340         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3341         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3342
3343 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3344
3345         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3346         the Scheme code like code yet.
3347         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3348
3349 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3350
3351         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3352         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3353         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3354
3355 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3356
3357         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3358         use-modules macro
3359         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3360         can't be found.
3361
3362 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3363
3364         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3365
3366 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3367
3368         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3369
3370         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3371         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3372         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3373
3374 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3375
3376         Get 'make dist' to work again.
3377         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3378         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
3379
3380         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3381         no plugins.
3382         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3383         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3384
3385 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3386
3387         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
3388         functions.
3389
3390 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3391
3392         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
3393
3394 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3395
3396         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3397         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
3398
3399 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3400
3401         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3402         instead of in libguile.
3403         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3404         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3405
3406 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3407
3408         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3409         procedures.
3410         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3411         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3412
3413 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3414
3415         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3416         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3417
3418 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3419
3420         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3421         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3422         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3423         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3424
3425 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3426
3427         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3428         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3429
3430 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3431
3432         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3433
3434 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3435
3436         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3437         keywords and symbols.
3438
3439 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3440
3441         * slib.scm: update read usage.
3442
3443         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3444         Don't define read-sharp.
3445
3446         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3447         (read-sharp): removed.
3448         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3449         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3450
3451 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3452
3453         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3454
3455         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
3456         primitive procedure.)
3457
3458         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3459         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3460
3461 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3462
3463         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3464
3465 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3466
3467         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3468
3469 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3470
3471         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3472         read gets EOF.
3473         * (exit): alias for quit.
3474
3475 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3476
3477         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3478         return the quit args.
3479         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3480         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3481         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3482
3483         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3484
3485 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3486
3487         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3488
3489         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3490         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3491
3492         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3493         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3494
3495         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3496         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3497         of handlers.
3498
3499 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3500
3501         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3502
3503         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3504         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3505         Change hooks to use these functions.
3506
3507         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3508         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3509         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3510         the source! :-)
3511         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3512         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3513         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3514         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3515         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3516         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3517         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3518         traced.
3519
3520         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3521         and exit-frame exceptions.
3522
3523         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3524         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3525         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3526         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3527         result; otherwise display "> ".
3528         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3529
3530         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3531         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3532         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3533         repository version runnable.
3534
3535 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3536
3537         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3538         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3539         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3540         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3541         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3542         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3543
3544 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3545
3546         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3547         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3548         and eval.
3549         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3550         "defined?".
3551         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3552         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3553
3554 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3555
3556         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3557
3558 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3559
3560         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3561         %read-sharp layer.
3562
3563 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3564
3565         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3566         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3567
3568 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3569
3570         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3571         backtrace.c.)
3572
3573 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3574
3575         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3576         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3577
3578 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3579
3580         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3581
3582         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3583         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3584         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3585         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3586         dynamic linking of modules.
3587         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3588         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3589
3590 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3591
3592         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3593
3594 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3595
3596         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3597         that's what it is.
3598
3599         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3600         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3601         was false.
3602
3603 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3604
3605         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3606         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3607         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3608
3609 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3610
3611         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3612         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
3613         yet.
3614
3615 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3616
3617         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3618         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3619         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3620
3621 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3622
3623         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3624         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3625         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3626         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3627
3628         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3629         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3630         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3631         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3632         (such as the-scm-module).
3633
3634 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3635
3636         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3637         %search-load-path.
3638
3639 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
3640
3641         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3642         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3643         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3644
3645 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3646
3647         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3648         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3649         function, use it accordingly.
3650
3651 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3652
3653         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
3654         function of no arguments.
3655         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3656         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3657         set-current-module): Uses changed.
3658         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3659         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3660         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3661         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3662         *top-level-eval-closure*.
3663
3664 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3665
3666         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3667         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3668
3669 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3670
3671         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3672         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3673         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
3674         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
3675         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3676
3677         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3678         `*features*'.
3679
3680         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3681         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
3682         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3683         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3684
3685         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3686
3687         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3688
3689         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3690         If the user wants to see this, he can do
3691         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3692
3693         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3694         error.
3695
3696         Added `before-read-hook'.
3697
3698         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3699
3700         (provide): New function.
3701
3702         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3703         in backtraces.
3704
3705         (backtrace): New function.
3706
3707         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3708         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3709         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
3710         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3711         is found in operator position in a frame.
3712
3713         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3714         by default.
3715
3716         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3717         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3718         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3719
3720         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
3721
3722         (library-vicinity): Updated.
3723
3724         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3725
3726         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3727
3728 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3729
3730         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3731
3732         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3733         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
3734
3735         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3736         so they'll get distributed.
3737
3738         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
3739         should see as little clutter as possible.
3740         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3741         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3742         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3743
3744         * r4rs.scm: New file.
3745         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3746         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3747         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3748         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3749         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3750         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3751         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3752         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3753         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3754         that are not.
3755         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3756         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3757
3758         * test.scm: New file.
3759
3760         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3761         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
3762         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3763
3764         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3765         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3766
3767         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3768         work now.
3769         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
3770         call %load-announce.
3771
3772 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3773
3774         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3775         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3776         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3777         components.
3778         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3779
3780 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3781
3782         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3783         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3784         SCSH (which this isn't).
3785
3786 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3787
3788         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3789
3790 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3791
3792         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3793         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3794         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3795         these.
3796         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
3797         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
3798         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3799         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3800         save-stack.
3801
3802 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3803
3804         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3805
3806         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3807
3808         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3809         error-catching-loop.
3810         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3811         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3812         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3813
3814         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3815         error-catching-loop.
3816
3817 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3818
3819         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3820         (make-module): Rework for readability.
3821         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3822         should be '(), not #f.
3823
3824         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3825         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3826
3827 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3828
3829         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3830         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3831         error-signal.
3832
3833 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3834
3835         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3836         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3837         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3838         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3839
3840 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3841
3842         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3843
3844 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3845
3846         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3847
3848         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3849         throw-handler-default.
3850         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3851         reported.
3852         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3853         acro.
3854         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3855         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3856
3857 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3858
3859         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3860         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3861         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3862         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3863
3864 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3865
3866         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3867         Append "." to the default %load-path.
3868         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3869         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3870         ...))
3871         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3872         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3873         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3874         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3875         file-is-directory?
3876
3877 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3878
3879         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3880
3881         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3882         distribution.
3883
3884         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3885         `switch-repl'.
3886
3887         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3888
3889 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3890
3891         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3892         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3893
3894 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3895
3896         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3897
3898         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3899
3900 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3901
3902         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
3903         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3904         Don't set up 'error as a key.
3905         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3906         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3907
3908         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3909         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3910         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3911         they seem redundant.
3912         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3913         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
3914         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3915         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
3916         directly files starting with "/").
3917         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3918         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3919
3920         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3921
3922 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3923
3924         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3925         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3926         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
3927         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3928         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3929         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3930         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
3931         robust to just do it in the C code.
3932
3933 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3934
3935         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
3936         %try-load itself was the primitive.
3937         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3938         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3939         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3940
3941 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3942
3943         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3944         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3945         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3946
3947 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3948
3949         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3950         system-error, not every kind of error.
3951         (scm-error): new procedure.
3952
3953 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3954
3955         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3956
3957 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3958
3959         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3960         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
3961         of args are supplied.
3962         (%%system-errors): removed.
3963         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.

3996
3997         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3998         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
3999         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
4000         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
4001         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

4038         for these.
