355 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
356 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
357 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
358 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
359 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
360 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith
361 for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
363 2000-12-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
365 * session.scm (apropos): Completed the last patch, which did only

375 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
378 2000-12-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
380 * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
382 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
384 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
385 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
386 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
387 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
388 split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,

406 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
408 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
409 and open-output-pipe.
411 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
413 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
414 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
415 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
416 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
417 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
418 Pirotte for the bug report).
419 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
420 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
422 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
424 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.

445 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
446 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
448 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
449 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
450 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
451 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
452 actual documentation entries themselves.
454 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

520 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
521 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
522 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
523 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)

591 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber
594 (delete-if!, delete-if-not!): Renamed parameter from `list' to
595 `l' in order to avoid confusion. Note: These functions are not
598 2000-06-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
600 * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
601 and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
603 * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
604 (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
605 (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
607 (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
609 * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
611 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
613 * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
614 module graph. (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
616 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
618 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
619 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
621 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
623 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
624 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
626 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
628 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
630 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
632 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
634 2000-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
636 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
638 (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
639 (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
641 (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
643 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
646 * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
647 (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
648 (apropos-fold): New procedure.
649 (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
652 * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
654 * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
656 2000-06-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
658 * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
659 (write-all): Removed.
660 (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'. Return
661 documentation string instead of printing it. Not exported.
663 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
665 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
668 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
669 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
670 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
671 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
672 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
673 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
674 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
677 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
679 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
681 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
683 * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
684 anonymous. Now needed in modules.c.
685 (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
688 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
690 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
691 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
692 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
693 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
694 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
695 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
696 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
698 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
700 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
701 accept complex numbers as parameter.
703 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
705 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
706 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
708 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
710 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
711 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
712 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
713 instead of remove-if when iterating.
714 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
715 delete-if! when iterating.
717 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
719 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
721 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
723 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
725 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
727 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
728 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
729 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
730 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
732 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
734 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
735 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
737 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
739 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
740 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
741 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
742 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
744 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
746 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
747 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
749 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
751 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
752 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
754 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
756 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
759 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
761 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
762 source of the numerous very short changes.
764 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
766 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
769 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
772 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
774 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
777 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
779 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
780 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
782 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
784 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
787 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
789 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
790 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
791 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
793 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
795 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
796 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
797 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
798 Narazaki for this change.
800 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
802 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
803 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
806 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
807 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
809 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
811 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
812 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
814 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
816 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
817 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
818 use define-public to export from the module.
820 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
822 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
823 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
824 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
826 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
828 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
830 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
832 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
833 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
835 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
837 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
839 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
841 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
843 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
845 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
846 long_long uniform vectors.
848 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
850 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
851 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
853 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
855 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
856 script to create generated files like this one.
858 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
860 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
861 available before using getpw and getuid.
862 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
863 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
865 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
866 check for .guile, instead of stat.
867 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
869 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
870 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
871 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
873 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
874 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
876 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
878 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
880 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
883 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
884 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
886 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
888 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
890 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
891 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
892 ("position"): New command.
893 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
894 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
895 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
896 to return a valid state.)
897 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
899 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
901 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
902 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
905 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
907 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
908 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
910 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
912 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
914 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
916 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
917 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
919 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
920 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
921 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
923 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
926 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
928 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
929 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
931 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
933 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
935 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
936 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
937 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
938 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
940 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
943 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
944 both forward and backward views of the stack
945 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
946 Use selector `frame-number';
947 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
948 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
950 Use readline conditionally.
952 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
954 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
955 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
956 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
958 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
959 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
962 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
964 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
966 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
968 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
970 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
972 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
974 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
975 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
976 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
977 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
978 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
979 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
980 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
981 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
982 libguile-config-stamp.
983 * version.scm.in: Delete.
984 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
985 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
986 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
987 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
989 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
991 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
992 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
993 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
995 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
996 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
997 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
998 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
1001 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1003 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1005 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1007 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1009 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1010 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1012 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1014 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1015 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1016 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1017 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1018 objects starting with '#/'.
1020 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1022 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1023 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1024 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1025 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1026 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1027 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1029 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1030 module-modified): New procedures.
1031 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1032 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1034 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1036 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1039 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1041 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1042 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1043 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1045 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1048 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1050 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1051 at multiple calls to read.
1052 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1053 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1054 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1055 continued-lines prompt.
1057 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1058 reading expressions.
1060 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1062 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1063 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1065 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1067 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1068 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
1071 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1073 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1074 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1076 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1077 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
1078 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1079 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1080 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1083 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1085 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1086 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1088 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1090 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
1091 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
1092 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1093 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1095 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1097 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1099 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
1100 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1101 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
1104 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1106 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1107 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
1108 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1109 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1110 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
1111 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1112 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1113 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1114 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
1115 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1116 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
1118 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1120 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1121 peeked from the stream.
1122 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1123 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1124 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1126 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1128 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1129 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1131 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1133 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1134 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
1135 exiting repl with single control-D.
1137 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1139 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1140 error catching loop after quit received.
1141 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1143 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1144 primitive exit if non-interactive.
1145 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1147 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1148 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1150 * popen.scm: new file.
1152 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1154 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
1155 (reverse-iota): removed.
1157 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1159 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1160 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1162 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1164 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1165 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1166 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1167 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1168 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1170 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1172 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1174 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1175 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1177 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1178 Guile's module system.
1180 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1182 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1183 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1184 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1185 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
1186 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1187 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1189 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1190 '() when the condition is false.
1192 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1194 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1196 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1198 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1200 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1202 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1203 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1204 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1206 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1208 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1209 argument order for hash-fold.
1211 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1213 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
1215 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1216 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1218 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1219 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1220 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1221 has been added to the load path).
1223 Use try-load-module.
1225 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1227 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
1228 module between system and user state.
1230 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1232 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1234 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1237 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1239 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1240 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1241 system can create a wrapper class for it.
1243 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1245 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1246 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
1247 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1248 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1249 stack frame encountered.
1251 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1252 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1253 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1254 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1257 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1258 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1259 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1260 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
1263 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1264 define-module switches:
1266 (define-module (foo)
1269 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1272 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1273 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1274 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
1275 module it is a system frame.
1277 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1278 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1279 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1280 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
1281 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1283 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1284 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
1285 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1286 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1287 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
1288 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1290 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1291 status of a module.;
1292 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1293 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1295 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1296 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1297 closure to the module.
1299 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1301 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1303 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1305 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1307 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1309 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1311 Fix from Russ McManus:
1312 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1313 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1314 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1315 either an optional or required value.
1317 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1319 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1321 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1322 of the '() key, not `rest'.
1324 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1325 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1326 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1327 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1329 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1331 * optargs.scm: New file.
1332 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1333 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1335 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1337 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1338 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1339 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1341 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1343 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1344 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1347 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1349 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1351 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1353 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1354 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1355 applied to the module itself.
1357 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1359 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1361 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
1362 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1364 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1366 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1368 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1370 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1372 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1374 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1375 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1377 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1379 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1380 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1381 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1382 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1383 among BINDINGS is referenced.
1384 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
1385 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1387 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1389 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1390 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1392 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1394 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1395 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1398 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1400 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1402 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1404 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1406 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1408 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1409 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1410 adapt to the new hooks.
1412 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1414 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1415 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
1416 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1418 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1419 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1421 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1422 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1423 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1424 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1425 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1426 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1427 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1428 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1429 first to register linked modules.
1431 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1432 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1433 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1435 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1436 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1437 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1438 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1440 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1442 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1445 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1446 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1447 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1449 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1451 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1452 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1453 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1455 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1457 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
1458 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1459 result of the last form.
1461 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1463 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1466 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1468 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1469 readline-set!: New options interface.
1471 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1473 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1475 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1476 at the end of boot-9.scm.
1478 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1480 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1481 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1483 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1485 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1486 interactive session.
1487 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1489 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1490 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1492 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1494 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1496 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1498 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1499 read line was empty.
1501 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1503 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1504 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1506 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1508 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1510 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1511 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1512 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1514 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1515 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1517 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1518 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1519 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1521 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1522 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1523 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
1524 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1525 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1526 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1528 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1530 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1531 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1533 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1535 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1536 and short vectors #h(...).
1538 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1540 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1541 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1542 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1544 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1546 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1547 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
1548 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1550 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1552 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1553 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1555 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1556 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
1557 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
1558 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1560 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1562 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1565 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1566 order to allow the empty list as arg.
1567 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1568 context with traps enabled.
1570 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1572 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1574 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1576 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1578 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1579 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1580 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
1581 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1582 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1584 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1586 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1587 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1589 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1591 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1593 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1595 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1597 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1599 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1601 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1603 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1604 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1606 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1608 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1609 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1610 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1611 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
1614 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1615 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1616 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1618 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1620 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1621 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1622 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1623 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
1624 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1625 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1626 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1628 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1630 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1632 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1634 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1635 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1636 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
1637 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1638 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1639 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1641 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1643 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1644 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1645 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
1648 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1650 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1652 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1654 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1656 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1658 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1661 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1663 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1665 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1667 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1668 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1670 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1672 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1673 similar in use to `use-modules'.
1674 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1675 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1677 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1678 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1680 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1682 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1684 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1686 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1687 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1690 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1691 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1693 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1694 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1695 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1697 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1699 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1701 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1703 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1704 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1706 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1708 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1710 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1712 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
1713 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1715 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1717 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
1720 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1722 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1723 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1725 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1727 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1729 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1731 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
1734 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1736 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1737 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
1738 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1739 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1740 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1743 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1745 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1746 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1747 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1749 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1751 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1753 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1754 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1756 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1758 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1759 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1760 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1761 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1762 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1763 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1764 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1767 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1769 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1772 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1774 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1775 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1776 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1777 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1778 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1779 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1781 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1783 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1784 usefully so they will work from a script.
1786 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1788 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1789 neighborhood of the record code.
1791 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1793 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1794 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1795 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1796 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1798 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1800 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1801 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1802 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1804 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1806 Add support for readline function.
1807 * readline.scm: New module.
1808 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1809 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1810 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1812 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1813 repl-reader to use them.
1814 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1816 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1818 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1820 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1821 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1823 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1825 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1826 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1827 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1829 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1831 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
1832 #f, abort terminates the process.
1833 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1834 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1836 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1838 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1839 print-state, throw it away.
1841 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1843 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1846 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1848 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1849 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1850 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1851 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1853 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1854 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1856 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1858 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1860 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1862 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1863 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1864 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1865 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1866 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1868 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1869 distribution and installation.
1870 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1872 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1874 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1876 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1878 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1879 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1880 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1882 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1883 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1886 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1888 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1890 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1892 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1894 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1895 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1896 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1897 field a separate argument.
1899 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1901 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1903 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1905 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1909 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1911 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1913 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1915 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1916 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1917 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1918 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1919 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1920 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1922 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1923 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1924 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1925 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1926 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically

1935 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1936 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1938 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1940 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1942 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1943 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1944 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1945 expansion inside the slib module.
1947 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1949 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1950 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

1955 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1957 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1958 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1959 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1961 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1962 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1965 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1967 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1968 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1970 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1972 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1973 (make-module): Modified initialization.

1977 `scm:eval-transformer'.
1978 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1979 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current

1985 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1987 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1988 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1989 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1990 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1991 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1993 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1994 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1995 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1997 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1998 the syncase interface.
2000 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2002 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2003 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2004 workings of the current module system).
2006 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2008 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2009 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

2020 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2021 according to the following priorities:
2022 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2023 2. bindings from the-scm-module
2025 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2026 disabling the scheme interpreter.
2027 (new-interpreter): New function.
2029 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2030 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2031 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
2033 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2035 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2037 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2039 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".

2047 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2049 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2050 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the

2055 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
2056 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
2057 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
2058 symbols matching regexp.
2060 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
2061 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2064 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2065 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2066 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2067 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2068 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2070 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
2071 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
2073 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2075 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.

2107 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2108 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2109 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2111 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2112 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2115 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2116 order to narrow it correctly.
2117 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

2126 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
2128 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2130 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2131 builtin `with-fluids*'.
2133 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2135 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2136 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
2137 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2139 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2152 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2154 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
2155 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
2158 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
2160 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

2175 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2176 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2178 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2179 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2180 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2181 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2183 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2185 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2186 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
2187 sending in bug reports.
2188 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2189 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2190 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2191 display a warning if the two are different.
2192 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2193 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2194 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2196 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2198 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
2200 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2202 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2203 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2205 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2206 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2207 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2208 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2209 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2210 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2213 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
2214 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2217 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2218 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
2220 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2223 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2226 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2228 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2231 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2233 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2234 vtable and not the one of the struct.
2236 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2238 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2239 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2240 to support printing of structures.
2241 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2242 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
2243 commented out printing code.
2244 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2245 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2247 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2249 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2251 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2253 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2254 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2255 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2256 during call to scm-style-repl.
2258 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2260 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2261 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2262 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2263 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
2264 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
2266 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2268 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2269 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2272 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2274 * regex.scm: New file.
2275 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2276 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2278 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2280 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2281 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2282 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2283 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
2285 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2287 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2290 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2292 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2293 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
2294 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2296 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2298 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2299 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2302 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2304 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2306 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2308 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2310 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2312 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2313 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2316 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2318 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2319 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2320 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
2322 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2324 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2325 the Scheme code like code yet.
2326 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2328 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2330 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2331 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
2332 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2334 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2336 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2338 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2341 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2343 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2345 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2347 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2349 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2350 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2351 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2353 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2355 Get 'make dist' to work again.
2356 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2357 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2359 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2361 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2362 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2364 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2366 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2369 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2371 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2373 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2375 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2376 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2378 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2380 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2381 instead of in libguile.
2382 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2383 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2385 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2387 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2389 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2390 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2392 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2394 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2395 sockaddr:port): new functions.
2397 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2399 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2400 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2401 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2402 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2404 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2406 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2407 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2409 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2411 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2413 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2415 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2416 keywords and symbols.
2418 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2420 * slib.scm: update read usage.
2422 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2423 Don't define read-sharp.
2425 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2426 (read-sharp): removed.
2427 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2428 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2430 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2432 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2434 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
2435 primitive procedure.)
2437 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2438 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2440 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2442 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2444 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2446 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2448 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2450 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2452 * (exit): alias for quit.
2454 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2456 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2457 return the quit args.
2458 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2459 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
2460 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2462 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2464 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2466 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2468 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2469 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2471 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2472 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2474 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2475 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2478 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2480 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2482 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2483 (add-hooks!): New macro.
2484 Change hooks to use these functions.
2486 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
2487 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2488 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2490 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2491 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2492 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2493 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
2494 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2495 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2496 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2499 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2500 and exit-frame exceptions.
2502 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2503 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2504 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2505 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2506 result; otherwise display "> ".
2507 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2509 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2510 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2511 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
2512 repository version runnable.
2514 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2516 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2517 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
2518 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2519 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2520 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2521 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2523 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2525 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2526 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2528 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2530 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2531 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
2533 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2535 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2537 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2539 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2542 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2544 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2545 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2547 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2549 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
2552 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2554 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2555 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2557 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2559 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2561 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2562 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2563 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2564 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2565 dynamic linking of modules.
2566 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2567 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2569 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2571 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2573 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2575 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2578 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2579 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
2582 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2584 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2585 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2586 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2588 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2590 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2591 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
2594 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2596 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2597 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2598 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2600 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2602 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2603 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2604 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2605 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2607 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2608 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2609 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2610 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2611 (such as the-scm-module).
2613 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2615 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2618 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
2620 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2621 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2622 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2624 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2626 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2627 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2628 function, use it accordingly.
2630 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2632 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
2633 function of no arguments.
2634 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2635 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2636 set-current-module): Uses changed.
2637 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2638 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2639 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2640 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2641 *top-level-eval-closure*.
2643 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2645 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2646 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2648 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2650 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2651 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2652 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
2653 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
2654 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2656 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2659 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2660 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
2661 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2662 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2664 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2666 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2668 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2669 If the user wants to see this, he can do
2670 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2672 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2675 Added `before-read-hook'.
2677 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2679 (provide): New function.
2681 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2684 (backtrace): New function.
2686 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2687 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2688 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
2689 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2690 is found in operator position in a frame.
2692 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2695 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2696 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2697 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2699 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
2701 (library-vicinity): Updated.
2703 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2705 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2707 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2709 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2711 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2712 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
2714 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2715 so they'll get distributed.
2717 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
2718 should see as little clutter as possible.
2719 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2720 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2721 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2723 * r4rs.scm: New file.
2724 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2725 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2726 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2727 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2728 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2729 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2730 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2731 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2732 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2734 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2735 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2737 * test.scm: New file.
2739 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2740 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
2741 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2743 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2744 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2746 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2748 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2749 call %load-announce.
2751 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2753 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2754 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2755 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2757 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2759 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2761 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2762 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2763 SCSH (which this isn't).
2765 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2767 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2769 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2771 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2772 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2773 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2775 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2776 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2777 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2778 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2781 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2783 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2785 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2787 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2788 error-catching-loop.
2789 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2790 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2791 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2793 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2794 error-catching-loop.
2796 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2798 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2799 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2800 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2801 should be '(), not #f.
2803 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2804 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2806 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2808 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2809 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2812 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2814 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2815 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2816 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2817 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2819 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2821 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2823 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2825 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2827 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2828 throw-handler-default.
2829 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2831 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2833 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2834 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2836 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2838 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2839 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2840 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2841 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2843 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2845 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2846 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2847 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2848 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2850 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2851 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2852 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2853 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2856 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2858 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2860 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2863 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2866 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2868 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2870 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2871 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2873 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2875 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2877 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2879 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2881 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2882 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2883 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2884 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2885 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2887 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2888 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2889 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2890 they seem redundant.
2891 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2892 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2893 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2894 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2895 directly files starting with "/").
2896 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2897 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2899 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2901 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2903 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2904 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2905 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2906 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2907 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2908 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2909 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2910 robust to just do it in the C code.
2912 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2914 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2915 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2916 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2917 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2918 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2920 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2922 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2923 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2924 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2926 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2928 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2929 system-error, not every kind of error.
2930 (scm-error): new procedure.
2932 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2934 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2936 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2938 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2939 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2940 of args are supplied.
2941 (%%system-errors): removed.
2942 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2943 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2944 %%handle-system-error.
2945 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2946 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2947 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2948 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2950 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2952 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2953 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2954 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2955 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2957 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2959 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2960 the empty list if they are #f.
2961 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2963 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2965 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2967 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2968 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2969 aborting, just the key and subr.
2970 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2971 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2972 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2974 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2976 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2977 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2978 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2979 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2980 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2982 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2984 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2985 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2986 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2987 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2989 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2991 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2992 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2993 initialize %load-path.
2995 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2996 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2998 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3000 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3001 Add the directory named after the version number.
3002 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
3003 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
3004 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
3005 sitedatadir): New definitions.
3006 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
3007 (install): Create the above directories.
3008 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
3009 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
3011 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3013 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3014 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3015 in the Makefile directly.
3016 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3018 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
3020 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
3021 here, where people expect to find them.
3023 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3025 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
3026 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
3028 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
3030 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3032 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
3033 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
3035 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3037 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
3038 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
3040 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
3041 weak-key-hash-table.
3043 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3045 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
3046 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
3047 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
3048 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
3049 (%open-file): removed.
3050 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
3051 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
3053 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3055 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
3056 (manifest): Deleted.
3057 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
3058 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
3060 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3062 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
3063 now that they throw errors directly.
3064 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
3065 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
3067 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3069 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
3071 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
3073 * The more things change...
