3 * optargs.scm: Replaced `#&' reader syntax with keywords.
5 2000-08-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
7 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive. (Thanks to
10 2000-08-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
12 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
13 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
14 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
15 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
16 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
18 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
20 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
22 * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition. (Is now
23 provided by libguile/modules.c.)
25 * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
28 * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
29 record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
30 (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto. (This is actually a bugfix!)
31 (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
33 * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
35 * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
36 (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
38 * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
40 * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
41 (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
43 2000-08-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
45 * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
46 definition of module-type.
48 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
50 * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
52 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
54 (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
55 *after* all used interfaces has been added.
58 2000-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
60 * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to thi!
62 2000-07-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
64 * boot-9.scm (expt): In case of negative integer exponents return
65 an exact result if the input paramters were exact. Thanks to
66 Mikael for the suggestion.
68 2000-07-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
70 * boot-9.scm (expt): Make sure that integer-expt is only called
71 if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
73 2000-07-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
75 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
78 2000-06-27 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
80 * popen.scm: gc-thunk is deprecated. Use after-gc-hook instead.
82 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
84 * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
85 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber
88 (delete-if!, delete-if-not!): Renamed parameter from `list' to
89 `l' in order to avoid confusion. Note: These functions are not
92 2000-06-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
94 * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
95 and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
97 * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
98 (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
99 (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
101 (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
103 * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
105 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
107 * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
108 module graph. (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
110 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
112 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
113 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
115 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
117 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
118 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
120 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
122 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
124 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
126 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
128 2000-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
130 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
132 (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
133 (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
135 (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
137 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
140 * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
141 (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
142 (apropos-fold): New procedure.
143 (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
146 * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
148 * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
150 2000-06-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
152 * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
153 (write-all): Removed.
154 (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'. Return
155 documentation string instead of printing it. Not exported.
157 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
159 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
162 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
163 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
164 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
165 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
166 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
167 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
168 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
171 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
173 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
175 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
177 * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
178 anonymous. Now needed in modules.c.
179 (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
182 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
184 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
185 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
186 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
187 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
188 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
189 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
190 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
192 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
194 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
195 accept complex numbers as parameter.
197 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
199 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
200 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
202 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
204 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
205 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
206 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
207 instead of remove-if when iterating.
208 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
209 delete-if! when iterating.
211 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
213 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
215 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
217 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
219 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
221 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
222 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
223 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
224 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
226 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
228 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
229 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
231 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
233 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
234 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
235 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
236 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
238 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
240 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
241 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
243 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
245 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
246 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
248 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
250 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
253 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
255 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
256 source of the numerous very short changes.
258 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
260 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
263 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
266 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
268 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
271 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
273 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
274 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
276 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
278 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
281 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
283 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
284 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
285 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
287 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
289 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
290 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
291 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
292 Narazaki for this change.
294 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
296 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
297 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
300 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
301 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
303 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
305 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
306 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
308 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
310 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
311 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
312 use define-public to export from the module.
314 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
316 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
317 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
318 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
320 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
322 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
324 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
326 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
327 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
329 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
331 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
333 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
335 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
337 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
339 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
340 long_long uniform vectors.
342 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
344 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
345 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
347 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
349 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
350 script to create generated files like this one.
352 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
354 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
355 available before using getpw and getuid.
356 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
357 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
359 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
360 check for .guile, instead of stat.
361 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
363 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
364 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
365 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
367 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
368 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
370 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
372 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
374 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
377 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
378 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
380 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
382 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
384 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
385 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
386 ("position"): New command.
387 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
388 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
389 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
390 to return a valid state.)
391 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
393 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
395 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
396 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
399 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
401 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
402 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
404 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
406 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
408 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
410 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
411 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
413 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
414 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
415 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
417 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
420 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
422 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
423 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
425 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
427 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
429 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
430 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
431 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
432 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
434 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
437 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
438 both forward and backward views of the stack
439 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
440 Use selector `frame-number';
441 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
442 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
444 Use readline conditionally.
446 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
448 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
449 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
450 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
452 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
453 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
456 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
458 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
460 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
462 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
464 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
466 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
468 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
469 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
470 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
471 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
472 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
473 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
474 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
475 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
476 libguile-config-stamp.
477 * version.scm.in: Delete.
478 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
479 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
480 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
481 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
483 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
485 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
486 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
487 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
489 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
490 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
491 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
492 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
495 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
497 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
499 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
501 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
503 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
504 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
506 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
508 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
509 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
510 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
511 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
512 objects starting with '#/'.
514 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
516 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
517 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
518 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
519 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
520 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
521 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
523 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
524 module-modified): New procedures.
525 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
526 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
528 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
530 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
533 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
535 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
536 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
537 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
539 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
542 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
544 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
545 at multiple calls to read.
546 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
547 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
548 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
549 continued-lines prompt.
551 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
554 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
556 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
557 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
559 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
561 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
562 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
565 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
567 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
568 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
570 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
571 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
572 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
573 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
574 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
577 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
579 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
580 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
582 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
584 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
585 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
586 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
587 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
589 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
591 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
593 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
594 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
595 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
598 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
600 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
601 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
602 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
603 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
604 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
605 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
606 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
607 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
608 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
609 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
610 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
612 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
614 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
615 peeked from the stream.
616 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
617 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
618 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
620 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
622 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
623 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
625 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
627 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
628 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
629 exiting repl with single control-D.
631 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
633 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
634 error catching loop after quit received.
635 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
637 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
638 primitive exit if non-interactive.
639 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
641 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
642 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
644 * popen.scm: new file.
646 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
648 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
649 (reverse-iota): removed.
651 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
653 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
654 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
656 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
658 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
659 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
660 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
661 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
662 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
664 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
666 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
668 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
669 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
671 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
672 Guile's module system.
674 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
676 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
677 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
678 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
679 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
680 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
681 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
683 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
684 '() when the condition is false.
686 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
688 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
690 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
692 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
694 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
696 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
697 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
698 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
700 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
702 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
703 argument order for hash-fold.
705 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
707 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
709 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
710 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
712 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
713 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
714 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
715 has been added to the load path).
719 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
721 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
722 module between system and user state.
724 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
726 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
728 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
731 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
733 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
734 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
735 system can create a wrapper class for it.
737 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
739 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
740 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
741 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
742 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
743 stack frame encountered.
745 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
746 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
747 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
748 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
751 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
752 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
753 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
754 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
757 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
758 define-module switches:
763 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
766 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
767 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
768 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
769 module it is a system frame.
771 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
772 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
773 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
774 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
775 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
777 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
778 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
779 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
780 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
781 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
782 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
784 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
786 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
787 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
789 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
790 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
791 closure to the module.
793 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
795 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
797 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
799 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
801 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
803 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
805 Fix from Russ McManus:
806 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
807 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
808 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
809 either an optional or required value.
811 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
813 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
815 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
816 of the '() key, not `rest'.
818 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
819 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
820 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
821 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
823 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
825 * optargs.scm: New file.
826 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
827 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
829 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
831 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
832 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
833 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
835 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
837 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
838 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
841 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
843 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
845 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
847 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
848 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
849 applied to the module itself.
851 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
853 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
855 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
856 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
858 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
860 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
862 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
864 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
866 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
868 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
869 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
871 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
873 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
874 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
875 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
876 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
877 among BINDINGS is referenced.
878 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
879 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
881 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
883 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
884 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
886 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
888 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
889 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
892 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
894 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
896 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
898 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
900 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
902 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
903 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
904 adapt to the new hooks.
906 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
908 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
909 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
910 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
912 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
913 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
915 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
916 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
917 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
918 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
919 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
920 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
921 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
922 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
923 first to register linked modules.
925 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
926 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
927 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
929 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
930 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
931 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
932 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
934 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
936 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
939 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
940 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
941 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
943 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
945 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
946 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
947 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
949 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
951 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
952 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
953 result of the last form.
955 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
957 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
960 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
962 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
963 readline-set!: New options interface.
965 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
967 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
969 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
970 at the end of boot-9.scm.
972 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
974 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
975 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
977 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
979 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
981 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
983 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
984 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
986 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
988 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
990 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
992 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
995 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
997 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
998 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1000 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1002 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1004 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1005 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1006 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1008 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1009 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1011 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1012 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1013 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1015 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1016 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1017 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
1018 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1019 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1020 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1022 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1024 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1025 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1027 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1029 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1030 and short vectors #h(...).
1032 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1034 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1035 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1036 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1038 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1040 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1041 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
1042 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1044 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1046 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1047 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1049 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1050 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
1051 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
1052 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1054 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1056 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1059 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1060 order to allow the empty list as arg.
1061 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1062 context with traps enabled.
1064 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1066 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1068 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1070 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1072 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1073 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1074 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
1075 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1076 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1078 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1080 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1081 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1083 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1085 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1087 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1089 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1091 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1093 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1095 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1097 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1098 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1100 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1102 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1103 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1104 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1105 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
1108 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1109 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1110 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1112 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1114 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1115 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1116 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1117 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
1118 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1119 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1120 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1122 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1124 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1126 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1128 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1129 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1130 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
1131 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1132 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1133 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1135 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1137 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1138 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1139 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
1142 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1144 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1146 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1148 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1150 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1152 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1155 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1157 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1159 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1161 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1162 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1164 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1166 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1167 similar in use to `use-modules'.
1168 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1169 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1171 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1172 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1174 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1176 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1178 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1180 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1181 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1184 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1185 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1187 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1188 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1189 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1191 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1193 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1195 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1197 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1198 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1200 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1202 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1204 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1206 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
1207 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1209 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1211 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
1214 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1216 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1217 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1219 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1221 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1223 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1225 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
1228 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1230 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1231 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
1232 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1233 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1234 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1237 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1239 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1240 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1241 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1243 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1245 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1247 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1248 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1250 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1252 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1253 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1254 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1255 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1256 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1257 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1258 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1261 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1263 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1266 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1268 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1269 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1270 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1271 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1272 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1273 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1275 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1277 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1278 usefully so they will work from a script.
1280 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1282 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1283 neighborhood of the record code.
1285 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1287 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1288 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1289 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1290 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1292 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1294 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1295 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1296 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1298 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1300 Add support for readline function.
1301 * readline.scm: New module.
1302 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1303 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1304 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1306 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1307 repl-reader to use them.
1308 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1310 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1312 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1314 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1315 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1317 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1319 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1320 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1321 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1323 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1325 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
1326 #f, abort terminates the process.
1327 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1328 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1330 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1332 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1333 print-state, throw it away.
1335 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1337 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1340 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1342 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1343 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1344 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1345 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1347 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1348 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1350 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1352 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1354 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1356 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1357 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1358 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1359 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1360 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1362 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1363 distribution and installation.
1364 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1366 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1368 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1370 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1372 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1373 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1374 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1376 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1377 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1380 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1382 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1384 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1386 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1388 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1389 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1390 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1391 field a separate argument.
1393 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1395 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1397 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1399 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1403 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1405 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1407 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1409 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1410 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1411 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1412 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1413 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1414 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1416 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1417 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1418 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1419 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1420 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1423 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1425 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

1429 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1430 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1432 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1434 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1436 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1437 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1438 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1439 expansion inside the slib module.
1441 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1443 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1444 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
1445 (let): New core form.

1449 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1451 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1452 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1453 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1455 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1456 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1459 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1461 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1462 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1464 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1466 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1467 (make-module): Modified initialization.
1468 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1469 mutator for module-associated transformer.
1470 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1471 `scm:eval-transformer'.
1472 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1473 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1475 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1477 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1479 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1481 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1482 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1483 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1484 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1485 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1487 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1488 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1489 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1491 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1492 the syncase interface.
1494 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1496 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1497 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1498 workings of the current module system).
1500 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1502 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1503 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1506 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1508 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1509 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1510 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1512 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1514 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1515 according to the following priorities:
1516 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1517 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1519 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1520 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1521 (new-interpreter): New function.
1523 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1524 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1525 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1527 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1529 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1531 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1533 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
1535 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1537 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1539 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
1541 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1543 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1544 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
1547 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1549 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1550 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
1551 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
1552 symbols matching regexp.
1554 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
1555 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1558 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1559 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1560 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1561 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1562 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1564 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1565 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1567 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1569 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1570 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1572 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1573 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.

1577 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1579 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1580 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1581 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1583 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1585 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1586 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
1587 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1589 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1591 * session.scm: New file: Session support.
1592 (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.
1594 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1596 * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
1599 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1601 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1602 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1603 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1605 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1606 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1609 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1610 order to narrow it correctly.
1611 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1613 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1615 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
1616 (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
1618 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1620 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1622 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1624 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1625 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1627 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1629 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1630 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1631 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1633 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1635 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1638 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1640 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1641 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1642 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1643 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1644 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1646 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1648 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1649 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1652 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1654 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1656 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1657 poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1658 notation, instead of #/ notation.
1660 * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
1663 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1665 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1666 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1667 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1668 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1669 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1670 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1672 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1673 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1674 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1675 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1677 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1679 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1680 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1681 sending in bug reports.
1682 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1683 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1684 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1685 display a warning if the two are different.
1686 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1687 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1688 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1690 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1692 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1694 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1696 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1697 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1699 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1700 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1701 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1702 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1703 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1704 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1707 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1708 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1711 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1712 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1714 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1717 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1720 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1722 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1725 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1727 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1728 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1730 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1732 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1733 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1734 to support printing of structures.
1735 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1736 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1737 commented out printing code.
1738 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1739 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1741 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1743 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1745 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1747 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1748 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1749 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1750 during call to scm-style-repl.
1752 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1754 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1755 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1756 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1757 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1758 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1760 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1762 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1763 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1766 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1768 * regex.scm: New file.
1769 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1770 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1772 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1774 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1775 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1776 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1777 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1779 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1781 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1784 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1786 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1787 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1788 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1790 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1792 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1793 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1796 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1798 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1800 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1802 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1804 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1806 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1807 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1810 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1812 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1813 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1814 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1816 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1818 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1819 the Scheme code like code yet.
1820 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1822 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1824 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1825 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1826 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1828 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1830 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1832 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1835 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1837 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1839 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1841 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1843 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1844 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1845 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1847 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1849 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1850 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1851 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1853 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1855 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1856 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1858 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1860 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1863 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1865 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1867 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1869 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1870 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1872 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1874 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1875 instead of in libguile.
1876 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1877 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1879 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1881 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1883 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1884 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1886 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1888 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1889 sockaddr:port): new functions.
1891 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1893 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1894 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1895 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1896 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1898 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1900 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1901 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1903 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1905 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1907 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1909 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1910 keywords and symbols.
1912 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1914 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1916 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1917 Don't define read-sharp.
1919 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1920 (read-sharp): removed.
1921 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1922 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1924 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1926 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1928 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
1929 primitive procedure.)
1931 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1932 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1934 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1936 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1938 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1940 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1942 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1944 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1946 * (exit): alias for quit.
1948 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1950 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1951 return the quit args.
1952 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1953 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1954 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1956 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1958 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1960 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1962 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1963 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1965 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1966 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1968 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1969 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1972 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1974 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1976 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1977 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1978 Change hooks to use these functions.
1980 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1981 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1982 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1984 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1985 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1986 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1987 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1988 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1989 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1990 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1993 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1994 and exit-frame exceptions.
1996 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1997 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1998 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1999 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2000 result; otherwise display "> ".
2001 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2003 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2004 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2005 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
2006 repository version runnable.
2008 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2010 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2011 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
2012 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2013 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2014 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2015 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2017 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2019 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2020 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2022 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2024 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2025 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
2027 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2029 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2031 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2033 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2036 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2038 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2039 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2041 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2043 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
2046 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2048 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2049 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2051 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2053 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2055 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2056 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2057 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2058 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2059 dynamic linking of modules.
2060 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2061 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2063 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2065 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2067 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2069 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2072 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2073 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
2076 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2078 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2079 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2080 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2082 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2084 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2085 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
2088 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2090 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2091 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2092 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2094 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2096 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2097 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2098 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2099 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2101 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2102 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2103 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2104 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2105 (such as the-scm-module).
2107 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2109 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2112 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
2114 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.

2120 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2121 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2122 function, use it accordingly.
2124 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2126 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
2127 function of no arguments.
2128 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2129 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2130 set-current-module): Uses changed.
2131 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2132 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2133 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2134 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2135 *top-level-eval-closure*.
2137 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2139 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2140 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2142 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2144 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2145 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2146 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
2147 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
2148 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2150 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2153 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2154 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
2155 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2156 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2158 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2160 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2162 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2163 If the user wants to see this, he can do
2164 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2166 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2169 Added `before-read-hook'.
2171 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2173 (provide): New function.
2175 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2178 (backtrace): New function.
2180 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2181 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2182 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
2183 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2184 is found in operator position in a frame.
2186 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2189 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2190 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2191 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2193 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
2195 (library-vicinity): Updated.
2197 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2199 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2201 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2203 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2205 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2206 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
2208 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2209 so they'll get distributed.
2211 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
2212 should see as little clutter as possible.
2213 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2214 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2215 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2217 * r4rs.scm: New file.
2218 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2219 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2220 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2221 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2222 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2223 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2224 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2225 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2226 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2228 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2229 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2231 * test.scm: New file.
2233 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2234 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
2235 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2237 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2238 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2240 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2242 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2243 call %load-announce.
2245 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2247 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2248 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2249 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2251 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2253 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2255 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2256 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2257 SCSH (which this isn't).
2259 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2261 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2263 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2265 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2266 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2267 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2269 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2270 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2271 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2272 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2275 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2277 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2279 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2281 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2282 error-catching-loop.
2283 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2284 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2285 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2287 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2288 error-catching-loop.
2290 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2292 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2293 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2294 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2295 should be '(), not #f.
2297 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2298 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2300 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2302 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2303 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2306 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2308 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2309 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2310 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2311 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2313 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2315 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2317 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2319 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2321 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2322 throw-handler-default.
2323 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2325 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2327 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2328 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2330 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2332 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2333 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2334 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2335 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2337 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2339 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2340 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2341 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2342 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2344 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2345 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2346 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2347 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2350 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2352 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2354 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2357 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2360 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2362 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2364 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2365 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2367 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2369 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2371 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2373 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2375 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2376 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2377 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2378 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2379 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2381 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2382 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2383 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2384 they seem redundant.
2385 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2386 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2387 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2388 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2389 directly files starting with "/").
2390 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2391 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2393 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2395 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2397 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2398 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2399 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2400 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2401 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2402 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2403 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2404 robust to just do it in the C code.
2406 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2408 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2409 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2410 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2411 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2412 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2414 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2416 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2417 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2418 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2420 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2422 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2423 system-error, not every kind of error.
2424 (scm-error): new procedure.
2426 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2428 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2430 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2432 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2433 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2434 of args are supplied.
2435 (%%system-errors): removed.
2436 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2437 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2438 %%handle-system-error.
2439 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2440 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2441 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2442 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2444 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2446 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2447 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2448 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2449 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2451 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2453 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2454 the empty list if they are #f.
2455 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2457 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2459 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2461 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2462 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2463 aborting, just the key and subr.
2464 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2465 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2466 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2468 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2470 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2471 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2472 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2473 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2474 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2476 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2478 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2479 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2480 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2481 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2483 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2485 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2486 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2487 initialize %load-path.
2489 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2490 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2492 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2494 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2495 Add the directory named after the version number.
2496 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2497 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2498 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2499 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2500 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2501 (install): Create the above directories.
2502 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2503 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2505 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2507 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2508 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2509 in the Makefile directly.
2510 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2512 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2514 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2515 here, where people expect to find them.
2517 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2519 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2520 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2522 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2524 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2526 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2527 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2529 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2531 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2532 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2534 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2535 weak-key-hash-table.
2537 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2539 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2540 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2541 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2542 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2543 (%open-file): removed.
2544 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2545 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2547 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2549 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2550 (manifest): Deleted.
2551 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2552 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2554 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2556 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2557 now that they throw errors directly.
2558 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2559 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2561 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2563 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2565 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
2567 * The more things change...
