   1 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
   2
   3         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
   4         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
   5
   6 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
   7
   8         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
   9
  10         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
  11
  12         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
  13
  14 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  15
  16         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
  17         '() instead of #f.
  18         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
  19         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
  20         `the-root-module'.
  21         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
  22
  23         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
  24         documentation.scm.
  25
  26         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
  27         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
  28         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
  29         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
  30         (help): Rewritten.
  31
  32         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
  33
  34         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
  35
  36 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  37
  38         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
  39         (write-all): Removed.
  40         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
  41         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
  42
  43 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  44
  45         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
  46
  47 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  48
  49         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
  50         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
  51         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
  52         closure.
  53
  54 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  55
  56         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
  57         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
  58         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
  59         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
  60         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
  61         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
  62         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
  63
  64 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  65
  66         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
  67         accept complex numbers as parameter.
  68
  69 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  70
  71         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
  72         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
  73
  74 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  75
  76         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
  77         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
  78         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
  79         instead of remove-if when iterating.
  80         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
  81         delete-if! when iterating.
  82
  83 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  84
  85         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
  86
  87 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  88
  89         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
  90
  91 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  92
  93         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
  94         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
  95         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
  96         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
  97
  98 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  99
 100         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 101         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 102
 103 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 104
 105         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 106         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 107         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 108         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 109
 110 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 111
 112         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 113         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 114
 115 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 116
 117         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 118         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 119
 120 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 121
 122         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 123         Dirk Hermann!
 124
 125 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 126
 127         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 128         source of the numerous very short changes.
 129
 130 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 131
 132         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 133         public.
 134
 135         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 136         info pages.
 137
 138 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 139
 140         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 141         from slib docs.
 142
 143 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 144
 145         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 146         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 147
 148 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 149
 150         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 151         to string-append.
 152
 153 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 154
 155         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 156         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 157         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 158
 159 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 160
 161         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 162         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 163         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 164         Narazaki for this change.
 165
 166 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 167
 168         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 169         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 170         %S.
 171
 172         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 173         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 174
 175 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 176
 177         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 178         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 179
 180 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 181
 182         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 183         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 184         use define-public to export from the module.
 185
 186 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 187
 188         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 189         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 190         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
 191
 192 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 193
 194         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
 195
 196 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 197
 198         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
 199         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
 200
 201 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 202
 203         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
 204
 205         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
 206
 207         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
 208
 209 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 210
 211         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
 212         long_long uniform vectors.
 213
 214 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 215
 216         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
 217         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
 218
 219 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 220
 221         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 222         script to create generated files like this one.
 223
 224 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 225
 226         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 227         available before using getpw and getuid.
 228         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
 229         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
 230         check for stat.
 231         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
 232         check for .guile, instead of stat.
 233         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
 234         available.
 235         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 236         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 237         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 238
 239         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 240         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 241
 242         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 243
 244 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 245
 246         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
 247         than 'exit-debugger.
 248
 249         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
 250         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
 251
 252         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
 253
 254 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 255
 256         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
 257         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
 258         ("position"): New command.
 259         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
 260         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
 261         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
 262         to return a valid state.)
 263         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
 264
 265 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 266
 267         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
 268         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 269         Badros.)
 270
 271 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 272
 273         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 274         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 275
 276 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 277
 278         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
 279
 280         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
 281
 282         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
 283         (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
 284
 285         * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
 286         display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
 287         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
 288         expression.
 289         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
 290         Handle errors.
 291
 292 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 293
 294         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 295         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 296
 297         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
 298
 299 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 300
 301         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 302         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 303         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 304         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 305
 306         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 307         argument.
 308
 309         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 310         both forward and backward views of the stack
 311         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 312         Use selector `frame-number';
 313         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 314         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 315         Use (ice-9 debug).
 316         Use readline conditionally.
 317
 318 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 319
 320         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 321         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 322         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 323
 324         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 325         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 326         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 327
 328 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 329
 330         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 331
 332         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 333
 334         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 335
 336         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 337
 338 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 339
 340         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 341         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 342         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 343         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 344         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 345         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 346         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 347         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 348         libguile-config-stamp.
 349         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 350         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 351         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 352         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 353         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 354
 355 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 356
 357         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 358         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 359         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 360
 361         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 362         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 363         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 364         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 365         readline.
 366
 367         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 368
 369 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 370
 371         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 372
 373 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 374
 375         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 376         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 377
 378 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 379
 380         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 381         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 382         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 383         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 384         objects starting with '#/'.
 385
 386 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 387
 388         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 389         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 390         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 391         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 392         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 393         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 394         `observer-id'.
 395         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 396         module-modified): New procedures.
 397         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 398         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 399
 400 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 401
 402         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 403         defines.
 404
 405 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 406
 407         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 408         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 409         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 410
 411         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 412         position.
 413
 414 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 415
 416         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 417         at multiple calls to read.
 418         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 419         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 420         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 421         continued-lines prompt.
 422
 423         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 424         reading expressions.
 425
 426 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 427
 428         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 429         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 430
 431 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 432
 433         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 434         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 435         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 436
 437         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 438
 439         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 440         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 441
 442         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 443         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 444         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 445         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 446         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 447         instead of a port.
 448
 449 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 450
 451         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 452         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 453
 454         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 455
 456         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 457         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 458         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 459         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 460
 461         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 462
 463         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 464
 465         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 466         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 467         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 468         an alist.
 469
 470         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 471
 472         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 473         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 474         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 475         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 476         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 477         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 478         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 479         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 480         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 481         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 482         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 483
 484         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 485
 486         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 487         peeked from the stream.
 488         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 489         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 490         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 491
 492         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 493
 494         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 495         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 496
 497         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 498
 499         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 500         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 501         exiting repl with single control-D.
 502
 503         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 504
 505         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 506         error catching loop after quit received.
 507         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 508
 509         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 510         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 511         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 512
 513         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 514         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 515         boot-9.scm.
 516         * popen.scm: new file.
 517
 518 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 519
 520        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 521        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 522
 523 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 524
 525         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 526         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 527
 528 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 529
 530         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 531         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 532         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 533         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 534         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 535
 536 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 537
 538         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 539
 540         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 541         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 542
 543         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 544         Guile's module system.
 545
 546         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 547         changes:
 548         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 549         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 550         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 551         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 552         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 553         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 554         modern CL behavior.
 555         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 556         '() when the condition is false.
 557
 558 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 559
 560         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 561
 562 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 563
 564         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 565
 566 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 567
 568         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 569         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 570         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 571
 572 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 573
 574         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 575         argument order for hash-fold.
 576
 577 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 578
 579         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 580         resolve-module.
 581         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 582         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 583
 584         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 585         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 586         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 587         has been added to the load path).
 588
 589         Use try-load-module.
 590
 591 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 592
 593         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 594         module between system and user state.
 595
 596 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 597
 598         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 599
 600         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 601         definition.
 602
 603 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 604
 605         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 606         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 607         system can create a wrapper class for it.
 608
 609 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 610
 611         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
 612         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
 613         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
 614         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
 615         stack frame encountered.
 616
 617         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
 618         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
 619         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
 620         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
 621         list).]
 622
 623         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
 624         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
 625         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
 626         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
 627         please tell me!]
 628
 629         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
 630         define-module switches:
 631
 632         (define-module (foo)
 633           :no-backtrace)
 634
 635         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
 636         modules.
 637
 638         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
 639         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
 640         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
 641         module it is a system frame.
 642
 643         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
 644         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
 645         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
 646         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
 647         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
 648
 649         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
 650         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
 651         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
 652         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
 653         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
 654         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
 655
 656         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
 657         status of a module.;
 658         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
 659         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
 660
 661         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
 662         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
 663         closure to the module.
 664
 665         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
 666
 667 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 670
 671 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>

 674
 675 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 676
 677         Fix from Russ McManus:
 678         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
 679         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
 680         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
 681         either an optional or required value.
 682
 683 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 684
 685         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
 686
 687         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
 688         of the '() key, not `rest'.
 689
 690         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
 691         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
 692         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
 693         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

 698         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
 699         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
 700
 701 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 702
 703         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
 704         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
 705         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 706
 707 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 708
 709         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
 710         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
 711         for isn't loaded.
 712
 713 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 714
 715         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 716
 717 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 718
 719         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
 720         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
 721         applied to the module itself.
 722
 723 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 724
 725         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
 726
 727         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
 728         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
 729
 730 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 731
 732         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
 733

 736         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
 737
 738 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 739
 740         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
 741         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
 742
 743 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 744
 745         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
 746         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
 747         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
 748         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
 749         among BINDINGS is referenced.
 750         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
 751         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
 752
 753 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 754
 755         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
 756         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
 757
 758 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 759
 760         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
 761         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
 762         static libraries.
 763
 764 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 765
 766         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
 767
 768 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 769
 770         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
 771
 772 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 773
 774         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
 775         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
 776         adapt to the new hooks.
 777
 778 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 779
 780         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
 781         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
 782         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
 783         code.
 784         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
 785         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
 786
 787         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
 788         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
 789         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
 790         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
 791         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
 792         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
 793         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
 794         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
 795         first to register linked modules.
 796
 797         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
 798         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
 799         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
 800
 801         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
 802         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
 803         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
 804         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
 805
 806         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
 807         to use from C:
 808         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
 809         libguile/feature.c.
 810
 811         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
 812         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
 813         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
 814
 815 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 816
 817         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
 818         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
 819         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
 820
 821 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 822
 823         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
 824         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
 825         result of the last form.
 826
 827 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 828
 829         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
 830         syncase.scm.
 831
 832         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
 833
 834         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
 835         readline-set!: New options interface.
 836
 837         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
 838
 839 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 840
 841         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
 842         at the end of boot-9.scm.
 843
 844 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 845
 846         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
 847         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 848
 849 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 850
 851         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
 852         interactive session.
 853         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
 854
 855         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
 856         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
 857
 858 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 859
 860         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
 861
 862 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 863
 864         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
 865         read line was empty.
 866
 867 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 868
 869         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
 870         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
 871
 872         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
 873
 874         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
 875         problem.  Duh.
 876         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
 877         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
 878         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
 879
 880         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
 881         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
 882         into...
 883         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
 884         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
 885         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
 886
 887         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
 888         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
 889         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
 890         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
 891         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
 892         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
 893         psyntax.ss.
 894         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 895
 896         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 897         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 898
 899 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 900
 901         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
 902         and short vectors #h(...).
 903
 904 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 905
 906         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
 907         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
 908         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
 909
 910 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 911
 912         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
 913         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
 914         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
 915
 916 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 917
 918         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
 919         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
 920
 921         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
 922         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
 923         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
 924         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
 925
 926 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 927
 928         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
 929         trace flag.
 930
 931         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
 932         order to allow the empty list as arg.
 933         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
 934         context with traps enabled.
 935
 936 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 937
 938         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
 939         module.
 940         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
 941
 942 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 943
 944         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
 945         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
 946         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
 947         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
 948         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
 949
 950 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 951
 952         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
 953         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
 954
 955 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 956
 957         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
 958
 959 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 960
 961         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
 962
 963 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 964
 965         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
 966
 967 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 968
 969         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
 970         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
 971
 972 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 973
 974         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
 975         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
 976         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
 977         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
 978         Archibald.)
 979
 980         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
 981         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
 982         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
 983
 984 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 985
 986         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
 987         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
 988         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
 989         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
 990         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
 991         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
 992         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 993
 994 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 995
 996         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
 997
 998 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 999
1000         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1001         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1002         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1003         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1004         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1005         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1006
1007 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1008
1009         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1010         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1011         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1012         Steven G. Johnson.)
1013
1014 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1015
1016         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1017
1018 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1019
1020         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1021
1022 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1023
1024         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1025         be completed.
1026
1027 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1028
1029         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1030
1031 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1032
1033         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1034         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1035
1036 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1037
1038         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1039         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1040         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1041         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1042         transformer.
1043         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1044         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1045
1046 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1047
1048         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1049
1050 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1051
1052         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1053         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1054         completion.
1055
1056         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1057         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1058
1059         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1060         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1061         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1062
1063         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1064
1065 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1066
1067         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1068
1069         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1070         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1071
1072 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1073
1074         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1075
1076 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1077
1078         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1079         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1080
1081         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1082
1083         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1084         obsolete.
1085
1086 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1087
1088         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1089         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1090
1091 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1092
1093         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1094
1095 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1096
1097         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1098         Stachowiak.)
1099
1100 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1101
1102         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1103         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1104         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1105         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1106         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1107         threads.
1108
1109 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1110
1111         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1112         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1113         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1114
1115 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1116
1117         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1118
1119         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1120         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1121
1122 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1123
1124         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1125         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1126         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1127         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1128         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1129         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1130         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1131         to go here.
1132
1133 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1134
1135         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1136         is now a fluid.
1137
1138 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1139
1140         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1141         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1142         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1143         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1144         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1145         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1146
1147 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1148
1149         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1150         usefully so they will work from a script.
1151
1152 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1153
1154         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1155         neighborhood of the record code.
1156
1157 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1158
1159         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1160         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1161         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1162         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1163
1164 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1165
1166         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1167         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1168         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1169
1170 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1171
1172         Add support for readline function.
1173         * readline.scm: New module.
1174         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1175         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1176         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1177         anything.
1178         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1179         repl-reader to use them.
1180         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1181
1182         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1183
1184 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1185
1186         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1187         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1188
1189 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1190
1191         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1192         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1193         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1194
1195 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1196
1197         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1198         #f, abort terminates the process.
1199         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1200         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1201
1202 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1203
1204         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1205         print-state, throw it away.
1206
1207 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1208
1209         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1210         `0'.
1211
1212 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1213
1214         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1215         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1216         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1217         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1218         user field).
1219         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1220         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1221
1222 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1223
1224         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1225
1226 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1227
1228         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1229         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1230         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1231         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1232         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1233         boot-9.scm.
1234         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1235         distribution and installation.
1236         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1237
1238 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1239
1240         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1241
1242 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1243
1244         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1245         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1246         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1247
1248         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1249         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1250         symbol.
1251
1252 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1253
1254         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1255

1259
1260         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1261         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1262         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1263         field a separate argument.
1264
1265         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1266
1267 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1268
1269         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1270
1271         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1272         vicinity;
1273         Provide defmacro.
1274
1275 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1276

1280
1281         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1282         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1283         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1284         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1285         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1286         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1287         registered.
1288         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1289         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1290         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1291         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1292         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1293         link a .so-file.

1301         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1302         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1303

1305
1306         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1307
1308         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1309         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1310         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1311         expansion inside the slib module.
1312
1313         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1314         constructors.

1320         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
1321         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1322
1323         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1324         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1325         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1326         source.
1327         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1328         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1329         been loaded.
1330
1331 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1332
1333         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1334         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1335         `use-syntax'.
1336         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1337
1338         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

1340         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1341         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1342         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1343         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1344         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1345         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1346         module.
1347         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1348
1349 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1350
1351         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1352
1353         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1354         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1355         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1356         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1357         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1358
1359         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1360         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1361         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1362         syncase macros.
1363         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1364         the syncase interface.
1365
1366 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1367
1368         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1369         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1370         workings of the current module system).
1371
1372 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1373
1374         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1375         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1376         off!
1377
1378 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1383
1384 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1385
1386         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1387         according to the following priorities:
1388         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1389         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1390         3. tcl bindings
1391         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1392         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1393         (new-interpreter): New function.
1394
1395         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1396         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1397         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1398
1399 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

1408
1409         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New

1414
1415         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1416         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1417         source!
1418
1419 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1420
1421         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.

1424         symbols matching regexp.
1425
1426         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
1427         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1428         in stack-ref).
1429
1430         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1431         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1432         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1433         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1434         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1435         result protocol;
1436         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1437         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.

1445         procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1446
1447         * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1448
1449 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1450
1451         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1452         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1453         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1454
1455         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.

1472
1473         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1474         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1475         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1476
1477         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1478         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1479         the top.
1480
1481         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1482         order to narrow it correctly.

1484
1485 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1486
1487         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.

1495
1496         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1497         builtin `with-fluids*'.
1498
1499 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1500
1501         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1502         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1503         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1504
1505 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1506
1507         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1508         automatically.

1511
1512         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1513         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1514         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1515         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1516         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1517
1518 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1519
1520         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1521         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1522         a default of /.
1523
1524         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1525
1526 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1527
1528         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1529         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1530         notation, instead of #/ notation.
1531
1532         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
1533         make-regexp.
1534
1535 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1536
1537         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1538         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1539         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1540         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1541         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1542         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1543
1544         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1545         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1546         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1547         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1548
1549 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1550
1551         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1552         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1553         sending in bug reports.
1554         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1555         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1556         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1557         display a warning if the two are different.
1558         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1559         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1560         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1561
1562 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1563
1564         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1565
1566 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1567
1568         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1569         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1570
1571         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1572         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1573         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1574         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1575         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1576         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1577         that's okay.
1578
1579         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1580         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1581         regexp interface.
1582
1583         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1584         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
1585
1586         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1587         function names.
1588
1589         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1590         fixes.
1591
1592 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1593
1594         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1595         ../configure.in.
1596
1597 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1598
1599         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1600         vtable and not the one of the struct.
1601
1602 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1603
1604         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1605         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1606         to support printing of structures.
1607         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1608         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
1609         commented out printing code.
1610         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1611         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1612
1613 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1614
1615         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1616
1617 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1618
1619         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1620         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1621         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1622         during call to scm-style-repl.
1623
1624 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1625
1626         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1627         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1628         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1629         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
1630         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
1631
1632 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1633
1634         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1635         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1636         (ice-9 regex).
1637
1638 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1639
1640         * regex.scm: New file.
1641         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1642         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1643
1644 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1645
1646         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

1654         in 1997.
1655
1656 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1657
1658         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1659         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
1660         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1661
1662 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1663
1664         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1665         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1666         here.
1667
1668 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1669
1670         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1671

1677
1678         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1679         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1680         fixes this too.
1681
1682 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1683
1684         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1685         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1686         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
1687
1688 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1689
1690         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1691         the Scheme code like code yet.
1692         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1693
1694 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1695
1696         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1697         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
1698         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1699
1700 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1701
1702         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1703         use-modules macro
1704         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1705         can't be found.
1706
1707 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1708
1709         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1710
1711 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1712
1713         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1714
1715         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1716         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1717         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1718

1726         no plugins.
1727         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1728         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1736
1737         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1738
1739 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1740
1741         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1742         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).

1745
1746         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1747         instead of in libguile.
1748         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1749         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1750
1751 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1752

1754         procedures.

1758 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1759
1760         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1761         sockaddr:port): new functions.
1762
1763 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1764
1765         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1766         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1767         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1768         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1769
1770 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1771
1772         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1773         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1774

1777         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.

1781         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1782         keywords and symbols.
1783
1784 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

1792         (read-sharp): removed.
1793         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take

1799
1800         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
1801         primitive procedure.)
1802
1803         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1804         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1805
1806 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1807
1808         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1809
1810 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1811
1812         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1813
1814 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1815
1816         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1817         read gets EOF.
1818         * (exit): alias for quit.
1819
1820 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1821
1822         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1823         return the quit args.
1824         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1825         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
1826         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1827
1828         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1829
1830 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1831
1832         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1833
1834         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1835         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1836
1837         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1838         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1839
1840         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1841         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1842         of handlers.
1843
1844 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1845
1846         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1847
1848         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1849         (add-hooks!): New macro.
1850         Change hooks to use these functions.
1851
1852         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
1853         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1854         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1855         the source! :-)
1856         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1857         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1858         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1859         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
1860         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1861         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1862         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1863         traced.
1864
1865         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1866         and exit-frame exceptions.
1867
1868         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1869         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1870         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1871         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1872         result; otherwise display "> ".
1873         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1874
1875         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1876         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1877         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
1878         repository version runnable.
1879
1880 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1881
1882         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1883         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
1884         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1885         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1886         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1887         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1888
1889 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1890
1891         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1892         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1893         and eval.
1894         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1895         "defined?".
1896         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1897         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
1898
1899 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1900
1901         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1902
1903 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1904
1905         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1906         %read-sharp layer.
1907
1908 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1909
1910         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1911         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1912
1913 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1914
1915         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
1916         backtrace.c.)
1917
1918 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1919
1920         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1921         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1922
1923 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1924
1925         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1926
1927         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1928         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1929         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1930         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1931         dynamic linking of modules.
1932         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1933         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1934
1935 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1936
1937         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1938
1939 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1940
1941         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1942         that's what it is.
1943
1944         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1945         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
1946         was false.
1947
1948 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1949
1950         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1951         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1952         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1953
1954 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1955
1956         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1957         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
1958         yet.
1959
1960 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1961
1962         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1963         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1964         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1965
1966 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1967
1968         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1969         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1970         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1971         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1972
1973         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1974         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1975         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1976         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1977         (such as the-scm-module).
1978
1979 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1980
1981         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1982         %search-load-path.
1983
1984 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
1985
1986         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1987         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1988         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1989
1990 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1991
1992         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1993         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1994         function, use it accordingly.
1995
1996 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1997
1998         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
1999         function of no arguments.
2000         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2001         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2002         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2003         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2004         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2005         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2006         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2007         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2008
2009 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2010
2011         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2012         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2013
2014 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2015
2016         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2017         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2018         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2019         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2020         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2021
2022         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2023         `*features*'.
2024
2025         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2026         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2027         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2028         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2029
2030         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2031
2032         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2033
2034         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2035         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2036         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2037
2038         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2039         error.
2040
2041         Added `before-read-hook'.
2042
2043         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2044
2045         (provide): New function.
2046
2047         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2048         in backtraces.
2049
2050         (backtrace): New function.
2051
2052         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2053         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2054         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2055         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2056         is found in operator position in a frame.
2057
2058         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2059         by default.
2060
2061         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2062         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2063         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2064
2065         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2066
2067         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2068
2069         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2070
2071         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2072
2073 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2074
2075         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2076
2077         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2078         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2079
2080         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2081         so they'll get distributed.
2082
2083         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2084         should see as little clutter as possible.
2085         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2086         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2087         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2088
2089         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2090         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2091         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2092         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2093         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2094         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2095         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2096         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2097         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2098         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2099         that are not.
2100         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2101         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2102
2103         * test.scm: New file.
2104
2105         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2106         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2107         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2108
2109         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2110         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2111
2112         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2113         work now.
2114         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2115         call %load-announce.
2116
2117 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2118
2119         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2120         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2121         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2122         components.
2123         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2124
2125 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2126
2127         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2128         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2129         SCSH (which this isn't).
2130
2131 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2132
2133         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2134
2135 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2136
2137         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2138         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2139         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2140         these.
2141         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2142         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2143         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2144         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2145         save-stack.
2146
2147 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2148
2149         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2150
2151         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2152
2153         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2154         error-catching-loop.
2155         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2156         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2157         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2158
2159         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2160         error-catching-loop.
2161
2162 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2163
2164         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2165         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2166         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2167         should be '(), not #f.
2168
2169         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2170         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2171
2172 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2173
2174         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2175         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2176         error-signal.
2177
2178 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2179
2180         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2181         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2182         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2183         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2184
2185 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2186
2187         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2188
2189 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2190
2191         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2192
2193         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2194         throw-handler-default.
2195         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2196         reported.
2197         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2198         acro.
2199         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2200         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2201
2202 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2203
2204         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2205         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2206         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2207         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2208
2209 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2210
2211         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2212         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2213         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2214         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2215         ...))
2216         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2217         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2218         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2219         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2220         file-is-directory?
2221
2222 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2223
2224         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2225
2226         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2227         distribution.
2228
2229         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2230         `switch-repl'.
2231
2232         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2233
2234 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2235
2236         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2237         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2238
2239 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2240
2241         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2242
2243         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2244
2245 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2246
2247         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2248         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2249         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2250         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2251         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2252
2253         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2254         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2255         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2256         they seem redundant.
2257         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2258         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2259         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2260         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2261         directly files starting with "/").
2262         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2263         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2264
2265         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2266
2267 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2268
2269         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2270         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2271         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2272         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2273         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2274         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2275         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2276         robust to just do it in the C code.
2277
2278 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2279
2280         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2281         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2282         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2283         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2284         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2285
2286 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2287
2288         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2289         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2290         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2291
2292 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2293
2294         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2295         system-error, not every kind of error.
2296         (scm-error): new procedure.
2297
2298 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2299
2300         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2301
2302 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2303
2304         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2305         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
2306         of args are supplied.
2307         (%%system-errors): removed.
2308         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2309         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2310         %%handle-system-error.
2311         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2312         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2313         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2314         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2315
2316 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2317
2318         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2319         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2320         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2321         %S (embed an argument using "write").
2322
2323 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2324
2325         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2326         the empty list if they are #f.
2327         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2328
2329 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2330
2331         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2332
2333         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2334         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2335         aborting, just the key and subr.
2336         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2337         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2338         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2339
2340 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2341
2342         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2343         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2344         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2345         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2346         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2347
2348 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2349
2350         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2351         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2352         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2353         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2354
2355 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2356
2357         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2358         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2359         initialize %load-path.
2360
2361         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2362         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2363
2364 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2365
2366         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2367         Add the directory named after the version number.
2368         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2369         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2370         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2371         sitedatadir): New definitions.
2372         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

2376
2377 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2378
2379         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2380         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2381         in the Makefile directly.
2382         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2383         for these.
2384         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2385         aux_files.
2386         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2387         here, where people expect to find them.

2390
2391         * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2392         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2393
2394         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2395
2396 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2397
2398         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2399         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)
2400
2401 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2402
2403         * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):

2405
2406         * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2407         weak-key-hash-table.
2408

2410
2411         * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2412         (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes.  return

2415         (%open-file): removed.
2416         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2417         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2418
2419 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2420
2421         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2422         (manifest): Deleted.
2423         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2424         directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2425
2426 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2427
2428         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2429         now that they throw errors directly.
2430         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2431         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2432
2433 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2434
2435         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2436
2437 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>
2438
2439         * The more things change...
