1 2000-06-27 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
3 * popen.scm: gc-thunk is deprecated. Use after-gc-hook instead.
5 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
7 * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
8 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber
11 (delete-if!, delete-if-not!): Renamed parameter from `list' to
12 `l' in order to avoid confusion. Note: These functions are not
15 2000-06-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
17 * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
18 and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
20 * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
21 (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
22 (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
24 (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
26 * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
28 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
30 * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
31 module graph. (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
33 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
35 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
36 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
38 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
40 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
41 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
43 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
45 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
47 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
49 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
51 2000-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
53 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
55 (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
56 (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
58 (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
60 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
63 * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
64 (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
65 (apropos-fold): New procedure.
66 (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
69 * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
71 * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
73 2000-06-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
75 * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
77 (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'. Return
78 documentation string instead of printing it. Not exported.
80 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
82 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
85 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
86 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
87 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
88 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
89 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
90 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
91 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
94 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
96 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
98 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
100 * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
101 anonymous. Now needed in modules.c.
102 (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
105 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
107 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
108 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
109 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
110 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
111 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
112 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
113 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
115 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
117 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
118 accept complex numbers as parameter.
120 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
122 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
123 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
125 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
127 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
128 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
129 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
130 instead of remove-if when iterating.
131 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
132 delete-if! when iterating.
134 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
136 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
138 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
140 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
142 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
144 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
145 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
146 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
147 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
149 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
151 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
152 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
154 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
156 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
157 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
158 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
159 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
161 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
163 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
164 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
166 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
168 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
169 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
171 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
173 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
176 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
178 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
179 source of the numerous very short changes.
181 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
183 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
186 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
189 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
191 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
194 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
196 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
197 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
199 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
201 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
204 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
206 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
207 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
208 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
210 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
212 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
213 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
214 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
215 Narazaki for this change.
217 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
219 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
220 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
223 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
224 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
226 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
228 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
229 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
231 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
233 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
234 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
235 use define-public to export from the module.
237 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
239 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
240 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
241 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
243 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
245 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
247 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
249 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
250 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
252 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
254 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
256 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
258 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
260 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
262 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
263 long_long uniform vectors.
265 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
267 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
268 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
270 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
272 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
273 script to create generated files like this one.
275 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
277 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
278 available before using getpw and getuid.
279 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
280 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
282 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
283 check for .guile, instead of stat.
284 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
286 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
287 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
288 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
290 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
291 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
293 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
295 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
297 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
300 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
301 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
303 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
305 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
307 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
308 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
309 ("position"): New command.
310 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
311 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
312 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
313 to return a valid state.)
314 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
316 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
318 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
319 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
322 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
324 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
325 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
327 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
329 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
331 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
333 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
334 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
336 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
337 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
338 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
340 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
343 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
345 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
346 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
348 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
350 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
352 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
353 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
354 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
355 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
357 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
360 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
361 both forward and backward views of the stack
362 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
363 Use selector `frame-number';
364 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
365 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
367 Use readline conditionally.
369 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
371 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
372 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
373 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
375 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
376 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
379 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
381 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
383 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
385 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
387 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
389 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
391 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
392 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
393 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
394 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
395 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
396 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
397 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
398 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
399 libguile-config-stamp.
400 * version.scm.in: Delete.
401 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
402 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
403 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
404 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
406 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
408 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
409 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
410 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
412 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
413 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
414 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
415 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
418 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
420 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
422 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
424 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
426 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
427 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
429 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
431 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
432 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
433 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
434 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
435 objects starting with '#/'.
437 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
439 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
440 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
441 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
442 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
443 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
444 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
446 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
447 module-modified): New procedures.
448 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
449 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
451 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
453 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
456 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
458 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
459 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
460 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
462 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
465 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
467 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
468 at multiple calls to read.
469 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
470 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
471 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
472 continued-lines prompt.
474 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
477 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
479 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
480 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
482 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
484 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
485 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
488 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
490 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
491 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
493 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
494 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
495 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
496 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
497 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
500 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
502 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
503 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
505 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
507 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
508 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
509 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
510 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
512 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
514 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
516 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
517 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
518 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
521 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
523 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
524 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
525 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
526 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
527 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
528 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
529 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
530 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
531 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
532 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
533 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
535 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
537 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
538 peeked from the stream.
539 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
540 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
541 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
543 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
545 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
546 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
548 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
550 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
551 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
552 exiting repl with single control-D.
554 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
556 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
557 error catching loop after quit received.
558 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
560 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
561 primitive exit if non-interactive.
562 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
564 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
565 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
567 * popen.scm: new file.
569 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
571 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
572 (reverse-iota): removed.
574 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
576 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
577 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
579 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
581 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
582 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
583 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
584 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
585 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
587 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
589 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
591 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
592 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
594 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
595 Guile's module system.
597 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
599 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
600 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
601 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
602 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
603 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
604 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
606 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
607 '() when the condition is false.
609 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
611 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
613 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
615 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
617 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
619 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
620 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
621 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
623 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
625 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
626 argument order for hash-fold.
628 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
630 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
632 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
633 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
635 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
636 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
637 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
638 has been added to the load path).
642 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
644 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
645 module between system and user state.
647 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
649 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
651 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
654 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
656 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
657 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
658 system can create a wrapper class for it.
660 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
662 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
663 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
664 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
665 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
666 stack frame encountered.
668 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
669 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
670 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
671 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
674 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
675 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
676 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
677 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
680 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
681 define-module switches:
686 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
689 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
690 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
691 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
692 module it is a system frame.
694 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
695 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
696 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
697 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
698 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
700 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
701 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
702 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
703 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
704 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
705 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
707 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
709 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
710 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
712 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
713 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
714 closure to the module.
716 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
718 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
720 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
722 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
724 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
726 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
728 Fix from Russ McManus:
729 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
730 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
731 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
732 either an optional or required value.
734 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
736 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
738 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
739 of the '() key, not `rest'.
741 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
742 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
743 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
744 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
746 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
748 * optargs.scm: New file.
749 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
750 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
752 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
754 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
755 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
756 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
758 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
760 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
761 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
764 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
766 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
768 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
770 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
771 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
772 applied to the module itself.
774 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
776 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
778 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
779 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
781 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
783 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
785 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
787 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
789 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
791 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
792 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
794 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
796 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
797 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
798 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
799 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
800 among BINDINGS is referenced.
801 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
802 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
804 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
806 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
807 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
809 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
811 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
812 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
815 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
817 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
819 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
821 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
823 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
825 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
826 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
827 adapt to the new hooks.
829 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
831 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
832 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
833 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
835 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
836 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
838 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
839 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
840 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
841 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
842 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
843 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
844 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
845 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
846 first to register linked modules.
848 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
849 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
850 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
852 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
853 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
854 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
855 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
857 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
859 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
862 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
863 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
864 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
866 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
868 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
869 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
870 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
872 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
874 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
875 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
876 result of the last form.
878 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
880 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
883 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
885 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
886 readline-set!: New options interface.
888 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
890 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
892 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
893 at the end of boot-9.scm.
895 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
897 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
898 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
900 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
902 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
904 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
906 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
907 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
909 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
911 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
913 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
915 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
918 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
920 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
921 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
923 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
925 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
927 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
928 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
929 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
931 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
932 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
934 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
935 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
936 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
938 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
939 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
940 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
941 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
942 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
943 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
945 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
947 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
948 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
950 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
952 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
953 and short vectors #h(...).
955 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
957 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
958 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
959 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
961 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
963 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
964 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
965 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
967 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
969 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
970 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
972 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
973 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
974 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
975 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
977 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
979 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
982 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
983 order to allow the empty list as arg.
984 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
985 context with traps enabled.
987 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
989 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
991 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
993 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
995 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
996 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
997 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
998 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
999 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1001 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1003 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1004 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1006 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1008 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1010 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1012 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1014 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1016 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1018 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1020 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1021 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1023 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1025 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1026 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1027 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1028 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
1031 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1032 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1033 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1035 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1037 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1038 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1039 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1040 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
1041 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1042 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1043 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1045 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1047 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1049 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1051 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1052 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1053 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
1054 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1055 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1056 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1058 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1060 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1061 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1062 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
1065 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1067 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1069 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1071 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1073 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1075 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1078 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1080 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1082 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1084 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1085 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1087 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1089 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1090 similar in use to `use-modules'.
1091 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1092 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1094 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1095 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1097 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1099 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1101 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1103 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1104 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1107 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1108 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1110 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1111 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1112 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1114 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1116 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1118 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1120 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1121 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1123 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1125 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1127 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1129 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
1130 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1132 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1134 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
1137 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1139 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1140 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1142 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1144 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1146 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1148 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
1151 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1153 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1154 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
1155 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1156 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1157 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1160 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1162 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1163 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1164 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1166 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1168 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1170 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1171 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1173 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1175 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1176 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1177 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1178 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1179 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1180 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1181 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1184 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1186 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1189 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1191 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1192 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1193 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1194 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1195 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1196 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1198 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1200 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1201 usefully so they will work from a script.
1203 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1205 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1206 neighborhood of the record code.
1208 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1210 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1211 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1212 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1213 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1215 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1217 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1218 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1219 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1221 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1223 Add support for readline function.
1224 * readline.scm: New module.
1225 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1226 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1227 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1229 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1230 repl-reader to use them.
1231 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1233 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1235 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1237 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1238 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1240 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1242 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1243 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1244 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1246 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1248 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
1249 #f, abort terminates the process.
1250 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1251 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1253 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1255 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1256 print-state, throw it away.
1258 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1260 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1263 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1265 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1266 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1267 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1268 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1270 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1271 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1273 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1275 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1277 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1279 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1280 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1281 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1282 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1283 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1285 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1286 distribution and installation.
1287 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1289 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1291 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1293 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1295 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1296 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1297 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1299 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1300 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1303 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1305 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1307 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1309 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1311 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1312 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1313 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1314 field a separate argument.
1316 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1318 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1320 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1322 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1326 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1328 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1330 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1332 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1333 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1334 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1335 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1336 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1337 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1339 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1340 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1341 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1342 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1343 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1346 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1348 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

1352 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1353 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1355 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1357 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1359 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1360 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1361 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1362 expansion inside the slib module.
1364 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1366 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1367 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

1372 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1374 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1375 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1376 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1378 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1379 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1382 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1384 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1385 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1387 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1389 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1390 (make-module): Modified initialization.
1391 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1392 mutator for module-associated transformer.

1394 `scm:eval-transformer'.
1395 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1396 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current

1402 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1404 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1405 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1406 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1407 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1408 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1410 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1411 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1412 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1414 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1415 the syncase interface.
1417 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1419 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1420 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1421 workings of the current module system).
1423 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1425 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1426 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

1437 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1438 according to the following priorities:
1439 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1440 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1442 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1443 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1444 (new-interpreter): New function.
1446 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1447 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1448 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1450 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1452 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1454 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1456 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".

1460 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1462 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
1464 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1466 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1467 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
1470 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1472 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1473 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
1474 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
1475 symbols matching regexp.
1477 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
1478 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1481 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1482 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1483 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1484 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1485 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1487 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1488 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1490 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1524 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1525 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1526 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1528 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1529 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1532 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1533 order to narrow it correctly.
1534 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

1545 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1547 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1548 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1550 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1552 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1553 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1554 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.

1569 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1571 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:

1592 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1593 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1595 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1596 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1597 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1598 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1600 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1602 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1603 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1604 sending in bug reports.
1605 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1606 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1607 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1608 display a warning if the two are different.
1609 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.

1624 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1625 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1626 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1627 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1630 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1631 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1634 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1635 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1637 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1640 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1643 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1645 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1648 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1650 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1651 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1653 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1655 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1656 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1657 to support printing of structures.
1658 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1659 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1660 commented out printing code.
1661 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1662 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1664 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1666 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1668 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1670 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1671 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1672 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1673 during call to scm-style-repl.
1675 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1677 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1678 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1679 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1680 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1681 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1683 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1685 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1686 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1689 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1691 * regex.scm: New file.
1692 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1693 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1695 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1697 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1698 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1699 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1700 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1702 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1704 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1707 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1709 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1710 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1711 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1713 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1715 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1716 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1719 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1721 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1723 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1725 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1727 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1729 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1730 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1733 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1735 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1736 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1737 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1739 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1741 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1742 the Scheme code like code yet.
1743 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1745 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1747 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1748 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1749 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1751 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1753 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1755 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1758 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1760 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1762 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1764 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1766 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1767 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1768 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1770 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1772 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1773 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1774 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1776 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1778 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1779 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1781 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1783 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1786 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1788 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1790 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1792 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1793 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1795 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1797 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1798 instead of in libguile.
1799 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1800 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1802 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1804 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1806 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1807 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1809 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1811 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1812 sockaddr:port): new functions.
1814 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1816 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1817 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1818 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1819 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1821 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1823 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1824 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1826 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1828 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1830 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1832 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1833 keywords and symbols.
1835 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1837 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1839 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1840 Don't define read-sharp.
1842 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1843 (read-sharp): removed.
1844 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1845 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1847 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1849 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1851 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
1852 primitive procedure.)
1854 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1855 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1857 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1859 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1861 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1863 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1865 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1867 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1869 * (exit): alias for quit.
1871 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1873 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1874 return the quit args.
1875 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1876 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1877 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1879 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1881 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1883 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1885 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1886 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1888 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1889 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1891 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1892 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1895 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1897 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1899 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1900 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1901 Change hooks to use these functions.
1903 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1904 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1905 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1907 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1908 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1909 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1910 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1911 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1912 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1913 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1916 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1917 and exit-frame exceptions.
1919 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1920 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1921 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1922 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1923 result; otherwise display "> ".
1924 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1926 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1927 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1928 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1929 repository version runnable.
1931 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1933 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1934 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1935 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1936 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1937 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1938 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1940 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1942 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1943 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1945 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1947 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1948 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1950 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1952 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1954 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1956 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1959 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1961 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1962 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1964 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1966 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1969 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1971 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1972 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1974 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1976 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1978 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1979 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1980 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1981 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1982 dynamic linking of modules.
1983 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1984 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1986 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1988 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1990 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1992 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1995 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1996 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1999 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2001 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2002 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2003 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2005 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2007 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2008 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
2011 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2013 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2014 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2015 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2017 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2019 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2020 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2021 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2022 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2024 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2025 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2026 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2027 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2028 (such as the-scm-module).
2030 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2032 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2035 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
2037 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2038 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2039 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2041 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2043 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2044 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2045 function, use it accordingly.
2047 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2049 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
2050 function of no arguments.
2051 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2052 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2053 set-current-module): Uses changed.
2054 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2055 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2056 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2057 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2058 *top-level-eval-closure*.
2060 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2062 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2063 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2065 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2067 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2068 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2069 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
2070 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
2071 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2073 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2076 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2077 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
2078 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2079 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2081 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2083 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2085 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2086 If the user wants to see this, he can do
2087 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2089 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2092 Added `before-read-hook'.
2094 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2096 (provide): New function.
2098 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2101 (backtrace): New function.
2103 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2104 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2105 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
2106 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2107 is found in operator position in a frame.
2109 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2112 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2113 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2114 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2116 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
2118 (library-vicinity): Updated.
2120 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2122 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2124 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2126 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2128 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2129 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
2131 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2132 so they'll get distributed.
2134 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
2135 should see as little clutter as possible.
2136 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2137 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2138 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2140 * r4rs.scm: New file.
2141 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2142 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2143 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2144 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2145 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2146 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2147 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2148 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2149 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2151 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2152 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2154 * test.scm: New file.
2156 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2157 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
2158 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2160 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2161 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2163 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2165 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2166 call %load-announce.
2168 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2170 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2171 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2172 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2174 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2176 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2178 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2179 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2180 SCSH (which this isn't).
2182 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2184 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2186 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2188 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2189 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2190 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2192 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2193 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2194 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2195 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2198 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2200 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2202 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2204 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2205 error-catching-loop.
2206 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2207 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2208 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2210 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2211 error-catching-loop.
2213 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2215 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2216 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2217 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2218 should be '(), not #f.
2220 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2221 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2223 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2225 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2226 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2229 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2231 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2232 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2233 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2234 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2236 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2238 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2240 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2242 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2244 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2245 throw-handler-default.
2246 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2248 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2250 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2251 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2253 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2255 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2256 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2257 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2258 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2260 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2262 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2263 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2264 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2265 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2267 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2268 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2269 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2270 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2273 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2275 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2277 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2280 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2283 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2285 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2287 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2288 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2290 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2292 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2294 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2296 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2298 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2299 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2300 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2301 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2302 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2304 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2305 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2306 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2307 they seem redundant.
2308 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2309 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2310 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2311 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2312 directly files starting with "/").
2313 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2314 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2316 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2318 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2320 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2321 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2322 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2323 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2324 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2325 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2326 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2327 robust to just do it in the C code.
2329 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2331 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2332 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2333 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2334 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2335 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2337 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2339 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2340 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2341 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2343 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2345 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2346 system-error, not every kind of error.
2347 (scm-error): new procedure.
2349 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2351 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2353 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2355 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2356 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2357 of args are supplied.
2358 (%%system-errors): removed.
2359 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2360 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2361 %%handle-system-error.
2362 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2363 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2364 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2365 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2367 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2369 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2370 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2371 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2372 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2374 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2376 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2377 the empty list if they are #f.
2378 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2380 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2382 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2384 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2385 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2386 aborting, just the key and subr.
2387 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2388 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2389 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2391 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2393 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2394 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2395 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2396 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2397 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2399 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2401 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2402 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2403 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2404 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2406 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2408 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2409 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2410 initialize %load-path.
2412 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2413 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2415 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2417 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2418 Add the directory named after the version number.
2419 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2420 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2421 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2422 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2423 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2424 (install): Create the above directories.
2425 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2426 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2428 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2430 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2431 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2432 in the Makefile directly.
2433 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2435 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2437 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2438 here, where people expect to find them.
2440 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2442 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2443 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2445 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2447 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2449 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2450 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2452 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2454 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2455 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2457 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2458 weak-key-hash-table.
2460 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2462 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2463 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2464 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2465 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2466 (%open-file): removed.
2467 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2468 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2470 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2472 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2473 (manifest): Deleted.
2474 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2475 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2477 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2479 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2480 now that they throw errors directly.
2481 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2482 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2484 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2486 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2488 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
2490 * The more things change...
