ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
   2
   3         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
   4         in C for now.
   5         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
   6         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
   7
   8 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
   9
  10         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
  11         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
  12         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
  13         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
  14         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
  15         for now.
  16         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
  17         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
  18
  19 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  20
  21         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
  22         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
  23         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
  24         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
  25         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
  26         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
  27         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
  28
  29 2000-12-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  30
  31         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only
  32         half the job.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
  33
  34 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  35
  36         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
  37         any more.
  38
  39 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  40
  41         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
  42         the-root-module.
  43
  44 2000-12-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  45
  46         * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
  47
  48 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  49
  50         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
  51         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
  52         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
  53         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
  54         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
  55         split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
  56         split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
  57         split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
  58         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
  59         string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
  60         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
  61         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
  62         make-shared-substring.
  63
  64 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  65
  66         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
  67         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
  68         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
  69         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
  70         scm-style-repl.
  71
  72 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  73
  74         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
  75         and open-output-pipe.
  76
  77 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  78
  79         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
  80         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
  81         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
  82         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
  83         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
  84         Pirotte for the bug report).
  85         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
  86         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
  87
  88 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  89
  90         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.
  91         Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.
  92
  93 2000-10-15  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  94
  95         * optargs.scm: Fix typos in commentary for bound? and lambda*.
  96
  97 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  98
  99         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
 100         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
 101         patch.
 102
 103 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 104
 105         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
 106         Jacques A. Vidrine.
 107
 108 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 109
 110         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
 111         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
 112         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
 113
 114         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
 115         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
 116         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
 117         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
 118         actual documentation entries themselves.
 119
 120 2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 121
 122         * boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
 123
 124 2000-09-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 125
 126         * syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.
 127

 131         Convert first argument to a string.
 132
 133         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
 134         getter-and-setter-syntax,
 135         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
 136         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
 137
 138         * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
 139
 140         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.

 145
 146 2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 147
 148         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
 149         `symbol-append'.
 150         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
 151         args.
 152         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
 153         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
 154         even worked...  /mdj.
 155         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
 156         `symbol->string'.
 157         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
 158         semantics.
 159
 160 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 161
 162         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
 163         form set!.

 166
 167         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
 168         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
 169

 171
 172         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.

 184
 185         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
 186         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
 187         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
 188         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
 189         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
 190
 191         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
 192
 193 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 194
 195         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
 196         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
 197
 198         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
 199         syntactic bindings.
 200
 201         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
 202         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
 203         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
 204         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
 205
 206         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.

 209         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
 210
 211         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
 212
 213         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
 214         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
 215
 216 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 217
 218         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
 219         definition of module-type.
 220
 221         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
 222
 223         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
 224
 225         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
 226         lines.
 227         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
 228         *after* all used interfaces has been added.

 234
 235 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 236
 237         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
 238         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
 239         Mikael for the suggestion.
 240
 241 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 242
 243         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
 244         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
 245
 246 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 247
 248         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
 249         for export args.
 250
 251 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 252
 253         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
 254
 255 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 256
 257         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
 258         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
 259         for the hint.
 260
 261         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
 262         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
 263         tail recursive yet.
 264
 265 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 266
 267         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
 268         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
 269
 270         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
 271         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
 272         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
 273         See NEWS.
 274         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
 275
 276         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
 277

 282
 283 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 284
 285         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).

 287
 288 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 289
 290         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
 291         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
 292
 293 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 294
 295         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
 296
 297         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 298
 299         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
 300
 301 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 302
 303         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
 304         '() instead of #f.
 305         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
 306         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
 307         `the-root-module'.
 308         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
 309
 310         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
 311         documentation.scm.
 312
 313         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
 314         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
 315         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 316         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 317         (help): Rewritten.
 318
 319         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 320
 321         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 322
 323 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 324
 325         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
 326         (write-all): Removed.
 327         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
 328         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
 329
 330 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
 331
 332         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 333         `proc-documentation'
 334
 335         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 336         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 337         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 338         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 339         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 340         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 341         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 342         getter...)
 343
 344 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 345
 346         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
 347

 349
 350         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
 351         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
 352         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
 353         closure.
 354
 355 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 356
 357         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
 358         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
 359         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
 360         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
 361         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
 362         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
 363         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 364
 365 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 366
 367         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
 368         accept complex numbers as parameter.
 369
 370 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 371
 372         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
 373         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
 374
 375 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 376
 377         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 378         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 379         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 380         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 381         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 382         delete-if! when iterating.
 383
 384 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 385
 386         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 387
 388 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 389
 390         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 391
 392 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 393
 394         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 395         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 396         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 397         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 398
 399 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 400
 401         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 402         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 403
 404 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 405
 406         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 407         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 408         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 409         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 410
 411 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 412
 413         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 414         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 415
 416 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 417
 418         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 419         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 420
 421 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 422
 423         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 424         Dirk Hermann!
 425
 426 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 427
 428         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 429         source of the numerous very short changes.
 430
 431 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 432
 433         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 434         public.
 435
 436         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 437         info pages.
 438
 439 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 440
 441         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 442         from slib docs.
 443
 444 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 445
 446         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 447         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 448
 449 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 450
 451         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 452         to string-append.
 453
 454 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 455
 456         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 457         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 458         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 459
 460 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 461
 462         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 463         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 464         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 465         Narazaki for this change.
 466
 467 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 468
 469         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 470         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 471         %S.
 472
 473         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 474         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 475
 476 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 477
 478         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 479         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 480
 481 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 482
 483         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 484         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 485         use define-public to export from the module.
 486
 487 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 488
 489         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 490         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 491         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
 492
 493 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 494
 495         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
 496
 497 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 498
 499         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
 500         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
 501
 502 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 503
 504         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
 505
 506         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
 507
 508         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
 509
 510 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 511
 512         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
 513         long_long uniform vectors.
 514
 515 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 516
 517         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
 518         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
 519
 520 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 521
 522         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 523         script to create generated files like this one.
 524
 525 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 526
 527         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 528         available before using getpw and getuid.
 529         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
 530         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
 531         check for stat.
 532         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
 533         check for .guile, instead of stat.
 534         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
 535         available.
 536         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 537         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 538         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 539
 540         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 541         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 542
 543         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 544
 545 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 546
 547         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
 548         than 'exit-debugger.
 549
 550         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
 551         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
 552
 553         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
 554
 555 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 556
 557         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
 558         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
 559         ("position"): New command.

 561         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
 562         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected

 565
 566 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 567
 568         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
 569         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 570         Badros.)
 571
 572 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 573
 574         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 575         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 576
 577 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 578
 579         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

 589         expression.
 590         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
 591         Handle errors.
 592
 593 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 594
 595         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 596         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 597
 598         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
 599
 600 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 601
 602         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 603         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 604         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 605         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 606
 607         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 608         argument.
 609
 610         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 611         both forward and backward views of the stack
 612         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 613         Use selector `frame-number';
 614         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 615         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 616         Use (ice-9 debug).
 617         Use readline conditionally.
 618
 619 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 620
 621         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 622         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 623         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 624
 625         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 626         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 627         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 628
 629 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 630
 631         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 632
 633         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 634
 635         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 636
 637         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 638
 639 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 640
 641         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 642         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 643         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 644         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 645         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 646         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 647         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 648         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 649         libguile-config-stamp.
 650         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 651         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 652         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 653         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 654         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 655
 656 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 657
 658         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 659         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 660         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 661
 662         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 663         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 664         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 665         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 666         readline.
 667
 668         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 669
 670 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 671
 672         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 673
 674 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 675
 676         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 677         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 678
 679 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 680
 681         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 682         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 683         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 684         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 685         objects starting with '#/'.
 686
 687 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 688
 689         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 690         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 691         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 692         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 693         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 694         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 695         `observer-id'.
 696         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 697         module-modified): New procedures.
 698         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 699         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 700
 701 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 702
 703         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 704         defines.
 705
 706 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 707
 708         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 709         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 710         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 711
 712         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 713         position.
 714
 715 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 716
 717         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 718         at multiple calls to read.
 719         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 720         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 721         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 722         continued-lines prompt.
 723
 724         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 725         reading expressions.
 726
 727 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 728
 729         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 730         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 731
 732 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 733
 734         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 735         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 736         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 737
 738         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 739
 740         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 741         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 742
 743         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 744         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 745         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 746         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 747         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 748         instead of a port.

 752         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 753         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 754
 755         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 756
 757         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 758         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 759         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 760         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 761
 762         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 763
 764         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 765
 766         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 767         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 768         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 769         an alist.
 770
 771         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 772
 773         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 774         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 775         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 776         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 777         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 778         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 779         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 780         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 781         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 782         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 783         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 784
 785         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 786
 787         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 788         peeked from the stream.
 789         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 790         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 791         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 792
 793         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 794
 795         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 796         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 797
 798         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 799
 800         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 801         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 802         exiting repl with single control-D.
 803
 804         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 805
 806         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 807         error catching loop after quit received.
 808         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 809
 810         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 811         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 812         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 813
 814         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 815         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 816         boot-9.scm.
 817         * popen.scm: new file.
 818
 819 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 820
 821        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 822        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 823
 824 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 825
 826         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 827         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 828
 829 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 830
 831         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 832         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 833         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 834         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 835         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 836
 837 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 838
 839         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 840
 841         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 842         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 843
 844         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 845         Guile's module system.
 846
 847         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 848         changes:
 849         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 850         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 851         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 852         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 853         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 854         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 855         modern CL behavior.
 856         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 857         '() when the condition is false.
 858
 859 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 860
 861         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 862
 863 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 864
 865         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 866
 867 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 868
 869         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 870         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 871         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 872
 873 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 874
 875         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 876         argument order for hash-fold.
 877
 878 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 879
 880         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 881         resolve-module.
 882         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 883         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 884
 885         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 886         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 887         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 888         has been added to the load path).
 889
 890         Use try-load-module.
 891
 892 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 893
 894         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 895         module between system and user state.
 896
 897 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 898
 899         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 900
 901         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 902         definition.
 903
 904 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 905
 906         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 907         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 908         system can create a wrapper class for it.
 909
 910 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 911
 912         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
 913         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
 914         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
 915         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
 916         stack frame encountered.
 917
 918         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
 919         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
 920         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
 921         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
 922         list).]
 923
 924         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
 925         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
 926         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
 927         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
 928         please tell me!]
 929
 930         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
 931         define-module switches:
 932
 933         (define-module (foo)
 934           :no-backtrace)
 935
 936         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
 937         modules.
 938
 939         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
 940         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
 941         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
 942         module it is a system frame.
 943
 944         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
 945         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
 946         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
 947         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
 948         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
 949
 950         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
 951         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
 952         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
 953         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
 954         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
 955         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
 956
 957         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
 958         status of a module.;
 959         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
 960         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
 961
 962         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
 963         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
 964         closure to the module.
 965
 966         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
 967
 968 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 969
 970         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
 971
 972 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 973
 974         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
 975
 976 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 977
 978         Fix from Russ McManus:
 979         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
 980         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
 981         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
 982         either an optional or required value.
 983
 984 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 985
 986         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
 987
 988         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
 989         of the '() key, not `rest'.
 990
 991         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
 992         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
 993         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
 994         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 995
 996 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 997
 998         * optargs.scm: New file.
 999         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1000         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1001
1002 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1003
1004         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1005         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1006         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1007
1008 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1009
1010         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1011         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1012         for isn't loaded.
1013
1014 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1015
1016         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1017
1018 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1019
1020         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1021         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1022         applied to the module itself.
1023
1024 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1025
1026         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1027
1028         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
1029         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1030
1031 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1032
1033         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1034
1035 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1036
1037         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1038
1039 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1040
1041         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1042         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1043
1044 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1045
1046         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1047         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1048         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1049         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1050         among BINDINGS is referenced.
1051         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
1052         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1053
1054 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1055
1056         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1057         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1058
1059 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1060
1061         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1062         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1063         static libraries.
1064
1065 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1066
1067         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1068
1069 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1070
1071         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1072
1073 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1074
1075         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1076         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1077         adapt to the new hooks.
1078
1079 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1080
1081         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1082         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
1083         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1084         code.
1085         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1086         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1087
1088         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1089         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1090         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1091         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1092         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1093         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1094         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1095         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1096         first to register linked modules.
1097
1098         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1099         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1100         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1101
1102         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1103         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1104         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1105         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1106
1107         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1108         to use from C:
1109         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1110         libguile/feature.c.
1111
1112         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1113         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,

1115
1116 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1117
1118         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1119         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1120         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1121
1122 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1123
1124         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
1125         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1126         result of the last form.
1127
1128 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1129
1130         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1131         syncase.scm.
1132
1133         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1134
1135         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1136         readline-set!: New options interface.
1137
1138         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1139
1140 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1141
1142         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1143         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1144
1145 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1146
1147         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1148         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1149
1150 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1151
1152         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1153         interactive session.
1154         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1155
1156         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1157         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1158
1159 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1160
1161         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1162
1163 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1164
1165         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1166         read line was empty.
1167
1168 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1169
1170         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1171         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1172
1173         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1174
1175         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1176         problem.  Duh.
1177         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1178         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1179         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1180
1181         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1182         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1183         into...
1184         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1185         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1186         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1187
1188         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1189         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1190         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1191         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1192         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1193         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1194         psyntax.ss.
1195         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1196
1197         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1198         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1199
1200 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1201
1202         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1203         and short vectors #h(...).
1204
1205 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1206
1207         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1208         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1209         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1210
1211 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1212
1213         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1214         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1215         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1216
1217 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1218
1219         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1220         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1221
1222         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1223         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1224         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1225         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1226
1227 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1228
1229         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1230         trace flag.
1231
1232         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1233         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1234         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1235         context with traps enabled.
1236
1237 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1238
1239         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1240         module.
1241         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1242
1243 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1244
1245         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1246         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1247         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1248         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1249         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1250
1251 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1252
1253         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1254         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1255
1256 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1257
1258         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1259
1260 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1261
1262         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1263
1264 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1265
1266         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1267
1268 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1269
1270         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1271         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1272
1273 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1274
1275         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1276         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1277         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1278         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1279         Archibald.)
1280
1281         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1282         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1283         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1284
1285 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1286
1287         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1288         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1289         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1290         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1291         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1292         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1293         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1294
1295 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1296
1297         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1298
1299 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1300
1301         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1302         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1303         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1304         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1305         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1306         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1307
1308 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1309
1310         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1311         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1312         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1313         Steven G. Johnson.)
1314
1315 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1316
1317         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1318
1319 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1320
1321         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1322
1323 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1324
1325         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1326         be completed.
1327
1328 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1329
1330         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1331
1332 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1333
1334         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1335         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1336
1337 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1338
1339         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1340         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1341         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1342         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1343         transformer.
1344         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1345         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1346
1347 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1348
1349         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1350
1351 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1352
1353         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1354         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1355         completion.
1356
1357         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1358         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1359
1360         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1361         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1362         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1363
1364         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1365
1366 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1367
1368         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1369
1370         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1371         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1372
1373 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1374
1375         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1376
1377 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1378
1379         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1380         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1381
1382         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1383
1384         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1385         obsolete.
1386
1387 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1388
1389         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1390         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1391
1392 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1393
1394         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1395
1396 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1397
1398         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1399         Stachowiak.)
1400
1401 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1402
1403         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1404         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1405         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1406         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1407         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1408         threads.
1409
1410 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1411
1412         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1413         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1414         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1415
1416 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1417
1418         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1419
1420         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1421         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1422
1423 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1424
1425         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1426         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1427         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1428         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1429         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1430         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1431         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1432         to go here.
1433
1434 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1435
1436         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1437         is now a fluid.
1438
1439 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1440
1441         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1442         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1443         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1444         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1445         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1446         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1447
1448 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1449
1450         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1451         usefully so they will work from a script.
1452
1453 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1454
1455         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1456         neighborhood of the record code.
1457
1458 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1459
1460         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1461         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1462         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1463         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1464
1465 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1466
1467         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1468         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.

1473         Add support for readline function.
1474         * readline.scm: New module.
1475         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1476         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1477         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1478         anything.
1479         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1480         repl-reader to use them.
1481         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1482
1483         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1484
1485 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1486

1491
1492         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1493         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.

1500         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1501         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1502
1503 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1504

1517         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1518         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a

1528
1529         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1530         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1531         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1532         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1533         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1534         boot-9.scm.
1535         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1536         distribution and installation.
1537         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1544
1545         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1546         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1547         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1548
1549         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1550         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1551         symbol.
1552
1553 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1562         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1563         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1564         field a separate argument.
1565
1566         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1567

1571
1572         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

1581
1582         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1583         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1584         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1585         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1586         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1587         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1588         registered.
1589         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1590         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1591         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1592         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1593         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1594         link a .so-file.

1606
1607         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1608
1609         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1610         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1611         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1612         expansion inside the slib module.
1613
1614         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

1622         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1623
1624         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1625         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1626         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1627         source.
1628         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1629         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1630         been loaded.
1631
1632 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

1642         mutator for module-associated transformer.

1645         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1646         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1647         module.
1648         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1649
1650 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1651
1652         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1653
1654         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1655         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1656         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1657         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1658         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1659
1660         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1661         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1662         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1663         syncase macros.
1664         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1665         the syncase interface.

1668
1669         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1670         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1671         workings of the current module system).
1672
1673 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1674
1675         * psyntax.ss: Updated.

1686
1687         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1688         according to the following priorities:
1689         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1690         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1691         3. tcl bindings
1692         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1693         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1694         (new-interpreter): New function.
1695
1696         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1697         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1698         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

1715
1716         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1717         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1718         source!
1719

1728         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1729         in stack-ref).
1730
1731         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1732         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1733         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1734         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1735         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1736         result protocol;

1751
1752         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1753         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1754         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1755
1756         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.

1773
1774         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1775         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1776         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1777
1778         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1779         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1780         the top.

1801
1802         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1803         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1804         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.

1813         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1814         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1815         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1816         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1817         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1818
1819 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1820
1821         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1822         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1823         a default of /.
1824
1825         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1826
1827 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1828
1829         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1830         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1831         notation, instead of #/ notation.
1832
1833         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
1834         make-regexp.
1835
1836 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1837
1838         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1839         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1840         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1841         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1842         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1843         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1844
1845         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1846         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1847         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1848         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1849
1850 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1851
1852         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1853         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1854         sending in bug reports.
1855         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1856         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1857         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1858         display a warning if the two are different.
1859         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1860         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1861         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1862
1863 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1864
1865         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1866
1867 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1868
1869         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1870         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1871
1872         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1873         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1874         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1875         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1876         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1877         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1878         that's okay.
1879
1880         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1881         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1882         regexp interface.
1883
1884         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1885         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
1886
1887         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1888         function names.
1889
1890         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1891         fixes.
1892
1893 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1894
1895         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1896         ../configure.in.
1897
1898 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1899
1900         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1901         vtable and not the one of the struct.
1902
1903 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1904
1905         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1906         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1907         to support printing of structures.
1908         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1909         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
1910         commented out printing code.
1911         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1912         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1913
1914 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1915
1916         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1917
1918 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1919
1920         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1921         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1922         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1923         during call to scm-style-repl.
1924
1925 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1926
1927         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1928         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1929         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1930         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
1931         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
1932
1933 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1934
1935         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1936         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1937         (ice-9 regex).
1938
1939 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1940
1941         * regex.scm: New file.
1942         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1943         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1944
1945 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1946
1947         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

1955         in 1997.
1956
1957 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1958
1959         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1960         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
1961         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1962
1963 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1964
1965         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1966         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1967         here.
1968
1969 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1970
1971         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

1978
1979         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1980         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1981         fixes this too.
1982
1983 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1984
1985         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1986         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1987         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
1988
1989 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1990
1991         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1992         the Scheme code like code yet.
1993         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1994
1995 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1996
1997         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1998         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
1999         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2000
2001 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2002
2003         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2004         use-modules macro
2005         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2006         can't be found.
2007
2008 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2009
2010         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.

2012 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2013
2014         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2015
2016         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2017         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2018         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2019
2020 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

2027         no plugins.
2028         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2029         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2040 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2041
2042         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout

2051
2052 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2053

2062         sockaddr:port): new functions.
2063
2064 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2065
2066         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2067         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2068         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2069         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)

2071 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2072
2073         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2074         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2075

2083         keywords and symbols.
2084
2085 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

2108
2109         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2110
2111 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2112
2113         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2114
2115 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2116
2117         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2118         read gets EOF.
2119         * (exit): alias for quit.
2120
2121 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2122
2123         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2124         return the quit args.
2125         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2126         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
2127         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2128
2129         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2130
2131 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2134
2135         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2136         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2137
2138         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2139         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2140
2141         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2142         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2143         of handlers.
2144

2151         Change hooks to use these functions.
2152
2153         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
2154         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2155         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2156         the source! :-)
2157         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2158         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2159         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2160         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2161         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2162         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2163         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2164         traced.
2165
2166         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2167         and exit-frame exceptions.
2168
2169         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2170         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2171         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2172         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2173         result; otherwise display "> ".
2174         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2175
2176         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2177         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2178         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2179         repository version runnable.
2180
2181 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2182
2183         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2184         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2185         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2186         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2187         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2188         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2189
2190 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2191
2192         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2193         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2194         and eval.
2195         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2196         "defined?".
2197         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2198         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2199
2200 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2201
2202         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2203
2204 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2205
2206         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2207         %read-sharp layer.
2208
2209 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2210
2211         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2212         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2213
2214 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2215
2216         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2217         backtrace.c.)
2218
2219 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2220
2221         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2222         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2223
2224 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2225
2226         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2227
2228         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2229         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2230         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2231         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2232         dynamic linking of modules.
2233         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2234         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2235
2236 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2237
2238         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2239
2240 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2241
2242         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2243         that's what it is.
2244
2245         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2246         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2247         was false.
2248
2249 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2250
2251         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2252         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2253         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2254
2255 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2256
2257         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2258         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2259         yet.
2260
2261 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2262
2263         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2264         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2265         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2266
2267 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2268
2269         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2270         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2271         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2272         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2273
2274         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2275         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2276         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2277         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2278         (such as the-scm-module).
2279
2280 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2281
2282         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2283         %search-load-path.
2284
2285 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2286
2287         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2288         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2289         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2290
2291 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2292
2293         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2294         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2295         function, use it accordingly.
2296
2297 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2298
2299         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2300         function of no arguments.
2301         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2302         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2303         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2304         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2305         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2306         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2307         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2308         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2309
2310 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2311
2312         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2313         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2314
2315 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2316
2317         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2318         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2319         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2320         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2321         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2322
2323         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2324         `*features*'.
2325
2326         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2327         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2328         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2329         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2330
2331         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2332
2333         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2334
2335         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2336         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2337         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2338
2339         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2340         error.
2341
2342         Added `before-read-hook'.
2343
2344         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2345
2346         (provide): New function.
2347
2348         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2349         in backtraces.
2350
2351         (backtrace): New function.
2352
2353         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2354         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2355         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2356         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2357         is found in operator position in a frame.
2358
2359         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2360         by default.
2361
2362         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2363         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2364         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2365
2366         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2367
2368         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2369
2370         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2371
2372         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2373
2374 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2375
2376         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2377
2378         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2379         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2380
2381         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2382         so they'll get distributed.
2383
2384         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2385         should see as little clutter as possible.
2386         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2387         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2388         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2389
2390         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2391         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2392         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2393         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2394         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2395         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2396         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2397         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2398         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2399         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2400         that are not.
2401         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2402         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2403
2404         * test.scm: New file.
2405
2406         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2407         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2408         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2409
2410         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2411         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2412
2413         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2414         work now.
2415         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2416         call %load-announce.
2417
2418 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2419
2420         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2421         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2422         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2423         components.
2424         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2425
2426 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2427
2428         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2429         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2430         SCSH (which this isn't).
2431
2432 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2433
2434         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2435
2436 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2437
2438         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2439         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2440         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2441         these.
2442         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2443         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2444         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2445         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2446         save-stack.
2447
2448 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2449
2450         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2451
2452         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2453
2454         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2455         error-catching-loop.
2456         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2457         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2458         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2459
2460         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2461         error-catching-loop.
2462
2463 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2464
2465         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2466         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2467         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2468         should be '(), not #f.
2469
2470         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2471         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2472
2473 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2474
2475         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2476         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2477         error-signal.
2478
2479 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2480
2481         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2482         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2483         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2484         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2485
2486 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2487
2488         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2489
2490 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2491
2492         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2493
2494         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2495         throw-handler-default.
2496         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2497         reported.
2498         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2499         acro.
2500         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2501         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.

2503 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2504
2505         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2506         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2507         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2508         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2509
2510 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2511
2512         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2513         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2514         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2515         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2516         ...))
2517         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2518         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2519         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2520         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2521         file-is-directory?
2522
2523 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2524
2525         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2526
2527         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2528         distribution.
2529
2530         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2531         `switch-repl'.
2532
2533         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2534
2535 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2536
2537         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2538         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2539
2540 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2541
2542         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2543
2544         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2545
2546 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2547
2548         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2549         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2550         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2551         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2552         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2553
2554         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2555         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2556         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2557         they seem redundant.
2558         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2559         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2560         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2561         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2562         directly files starting with "/").
2563         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2564         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2565
2566         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2567
2568 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2569
2570         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2571         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2572         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2573         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2574         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2575         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2576         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2577         robust to just do it in the C code.
2578
2579 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2580
2581         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2582         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2583         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2584         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2585         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2586
2587 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2588
2589         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2590         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2591         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2592
2593 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2594
2595         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2596         system-error, not every kind of error.
2597         (scm-error): new procedure.
2598
2599 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2600
2601         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2602
2603 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2604
2605         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2606         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
2607         of args are supplied.
2608         (%%system-errors): removed.
2609         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2610         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2611         %%handle-system-error.
2612         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2613         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2614         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2615         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2616
2617 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2618
2619         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2620         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2621         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2622         %S (embed an argument using "write").
2623
2624 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2625
2626         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2627         the empty list if they are #f.
2628         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2629
2630 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2631
2632         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2633
2634         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2635         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2636         aborting, just the key and subr.
2637         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2638         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2639         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2640
2641 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2642
2643         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2644         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2645         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2646         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2647         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2648
2649 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2650
2651         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2652         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2653         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2654         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2655
2656 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2657
2658         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2659         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2660         initialize %load-path.
2661
2662         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2663         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2664
2665 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2666
2667         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2668         Add the directory named after the version number.
2669         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2670         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2671         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2672         sitedatadir): New definitions.
2673         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

2678 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2679
2680         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2681         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2682         in the Makefile directly.
2683         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2684         for these.
2685         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2686         aux_files.
2687         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2688         here, where people expect to find them.

2693         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2694
2695         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2696
2697 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2698
2699         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2700         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)

2716         (%open-file): removed.
2717         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2718         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

2723         (manifest): Deleted.
2724         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

2726
2727 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2728
2729         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2730         now that they throw errors directly.
2731         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2732         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2733
2734 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2735
2736         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
