35 2001-08-30 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
37 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
38 interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
39 not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
41 2001-08-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
43 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
44 interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.

56 2001-08-02 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
58 * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
59 last-command fluid is not yet set.
61 2001-08-02 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
63 * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
65 (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
66 value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
67 next element is to be taken as the option arg.
69 2001-07-31 Keisuke Nishida <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
71 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not

79 2001-07-23 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
81 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in

91 receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
93 2001-07-17 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
95 * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
96 primitives. Thanks Neil!
98 2001-07-13 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
100 * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
101 re-exported core bindings. Do not re-export `numerator',
102 `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
103 Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
105 * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
106 core bindings. Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
107 since there aren't definitions for them.

110 argument is "renamer" not "rename".
112 2001-07-09 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
114 * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
115 is #f. Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
117 2001-07-06 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
119 * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
120 extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
122 2001-06-30 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
124 * arrays.scm: Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b': #b
125 is already defined by R5RS. Further, there is already a working
126 read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
128 2001-06-30 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
130 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.

137 is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
139 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
140 whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.

144 2001-06-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
146 * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
147 was a cut-n-paste error previously.

151 * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
152 Don't reset trace-level to 0.

170 2001-06-14 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
172 * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
173 `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
175 2001-06-13 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
178 No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.

182 (slib:error): Delete.
183 (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
185 Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
190 Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
194 2001-06-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
196 * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
197 `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
198 rdelim) module. See below.
200 2001-06-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
202 * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
203 include-deprecated-features is true.
205 2001-06-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
207 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
210 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
211 real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
212 Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
214 * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
215 (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
216 `port', if it has one. Else leave it alone. Thanks to Matthias
219 2001-06-05 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
221 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
222 `module-ensure-variable!'. Make sure that there really is a local
223 variable, not just a visible one.
224 (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
225 (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
226 enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable. When
227 deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
228 creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
229 (module-re-export!): New. Use this for re-exporting imported
231 (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
233 * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
234 re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
236 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
238 * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
239 instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
241 2001-06-04 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
243 * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
245 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
247 Added exception notice to all files.
249 * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change. It
250 caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
251 importing bindings once in a while.
253 2001-06-03 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
255 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
256 and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
257 (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
258 registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
259 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
260 find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
261 try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
262 try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated. Activate deprecation
264 (define-public): Define binding before exporting it. This is to
265 avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
267 2001-06-02 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
269 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
270 fix command so that it works.
272 * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
273 to access unbound variables.
275 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
276 (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
277 export. Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
278 the value over, and export the new variable. This confused
279 syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
281 2001-06-01 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
283 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
284 When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules. Add
285 them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
286 (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
287 (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
288 (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
289 argument for process-define-module.
290 (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
291 arguments for process-use-modules.
292 (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
294 2001-05-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
296 * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
297 `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
298 Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
301 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
302 * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
303 (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
305 * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.

332 2001-05-19 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
334 * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
335 * match.scm: Likewise.
336 * expect.scm: Likewise.
337 * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
339 * rdelim.scm: Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
341 * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
343 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
345 (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
346 (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
347 load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here. Do it on
348 top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
349 (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
350 element list when adding "." to it.
351 (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
352 dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
354 2001-05-18 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
356 * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
358 (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
359 now accepts arg; update callers.
360 Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
361 consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
363 * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
364 Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
365 Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
366 (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
367 `search-documentation-files'.
368 (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
369 instead of `(lambda (x) x)'. "An identity edit", ha ha.
370 (help-usage): Mention support for "(help 'NAME)".
372 * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
373 Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.
375 (find-documentation): Delete.
376 (search-documentation-files): New proc, exported.
377 (object-documentation): Use `search-documentation-files'.
379 2001-05-15 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
381 * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
382 so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.

396 * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
398 (apropos-fold): Likewise.
400 * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed. We should not play games with
401 the magical undefined value.

403 the default default for bindings.
405 * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
406 make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
407 (root-module-closure): Removed.
408 (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
409 `pre-modules-obarray'. Do not use a lazy binder.
410 (scm-module-closure): Removed.
411 (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
412 `pre-modules-obarray'. Do not use a lazy binder. Set the
413 eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
414 (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
415 `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
416 (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
417 towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
418 set-current-module that boots the module system. These
419 definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
420 `set-current-module' call.
421 (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
422 set-current-module. It is redefined later.

462 (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
463 which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
464 (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use

649 2001-03-10 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
651 * buffered-input.scm (make-buffered-input-port): New, more general
652 buffered input procedure. Does not assume that a newline
653 character should be interpolated between chunks of input returned
655 (make-line-buffered-input-port): Redefine in terms of
656 make-buffered-input-port.
658 2001-03-09 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

704 cutting. Makes backtraces work again! Also added a reference to

710 * match.scm: New file, including Andrew K. Wright's pattern matcher.
711 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added match.scm.

716 `eval-case', everywhere.
718 2001-02-13 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
720 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Removed spurious call to

722 (define-public, defmacro-public): Use `export' instead of explicit

745 * and-let-star-compat.scm: Display the warning to the
746 `current-error-port'.
748 2001-02-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
750 Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
753 * and-let-star.scm, and-let*.scm: Renamed `and-let*.scm' to

791 2000-12-29 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
793 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
794 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
795 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
796 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
797 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
798 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith
799 for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
801 2000-12-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
803 * session.scm (apropos): Completed the last patch, which did only
804 half the job. Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
806 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
808 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): There are no weak bindings
811 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
813 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
816 2000-12-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
818 * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
820 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
822 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
823 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
824 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
825 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
826 split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,

832 sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
833 sans-final-newline): Use substring instead of
834 make-shared-substring.
836 2000-11-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
838 * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
839 removed. values and call-with-values are now primitives and
840 the other two were only exported by accident. don't define
841 *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
844 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
846 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
847 and open-output-pipe.
849 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
851 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
852 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
853 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
854 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
855 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
856 Pirotte for the bug report).
857 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
858 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
860 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
862 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.

880 2000-09-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
882 * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
883 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
884 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
886 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
887 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
888 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
889 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
890 actual documentation entries themselves.
892 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
894 * boot-9.scm: Removed comment. (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
896 2000-09-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

914 2000-08-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

918 2000-08-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

922 (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
924 (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed. I don't
925 think I'll announce this in NEWS even. One of the functions never
927 (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
929 (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
932 2000-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

955 2000-08-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
957 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
958 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
959 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
960 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
961 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
963 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
965 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
967 * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition. (Is now
968 provided by libguile/modules.c.)

974 record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.

1029 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber

1056 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1057 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1059 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1061 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
1062 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1064 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1066 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.

1097 (write-all): Removed.

1101 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
1103 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1104 `proc-documentation'
1106 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
1107 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1108 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1109 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1110 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1111 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1112 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive

1128 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
1129 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1130 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
1131 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
1132 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1133 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1134 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1136 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1138 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
1139 accept complex numbers as parameter.

1146 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1148 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1149 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1150 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1151 instead of remove-if when iterating.
1152 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1153 delete-if! when iterating.
1155 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1157 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1159 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1161 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
1163 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1165 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1166 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
1167 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1168 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1170 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1172 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
1173 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1175 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1177 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
1178 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1179 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
1180 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
1182 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1184 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1185 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1187 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1189 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1190 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1192 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1194 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1197 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1199 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1200 source of the numerous very short changes.
1202 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1204 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1207 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1210 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1212 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1215 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1217 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1218 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1220 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1222 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1225 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1227 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1228 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
1229 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1231 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1233 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1234 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1235 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
1236 Narazaki for this change.
1238 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1240 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1241 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1244 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1245 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1247 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1249 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1250 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1252 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1254 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1255 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1256 use define-public to export from the module.
1258 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1260 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1261 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1262 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1264 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1266 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1268 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1270 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1271 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1273 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1275 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1277 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1279 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1281 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1283 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1284 long_long uniform vectors.
1286 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1288 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1289 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
1291 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1293 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
1294 script to create generated files like this one.
1296 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1298 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1299 available before using getpw and getuid.
1300 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1301 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1303 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1304 check for .guile, instead of stat.
1305 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1307 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
1308 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1309 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1311 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
1312 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1314 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1316 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1318 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
1319 than 'exit-debugger.
1321 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1322 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1324 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1326 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1328 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
1329 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1330 ("position"): New command.
1331 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1332 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
1333 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
1334 to return a valid state.)
1335 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
1337 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1339 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1340 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
1343 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1345 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1346 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1348 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1350 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
1352 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
1354 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
1355 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
1357 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
1358 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
1359 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
1361 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
1364 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1366 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1367 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1369 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1371 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1373 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1374 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1375 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1376 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1378 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1381 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1382 both forward and backward views of the stack
1383 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1384 Use selector `frame-number';
1385 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1386 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1388 Use readline conditionally.
1390 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1392 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1393 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1394 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1396 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1397 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
1400 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1402 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1404 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1406 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1408 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1410 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1412 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1413 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
1414 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
1415 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1416 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1417 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1418 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1419 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1420 libguile-config-stamp.
1421 * version.scm.in: Delete.
1422 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1423 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1424 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1425 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1427 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1429 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1430 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1431 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1433 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1434 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1435 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1436 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
1439 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1441 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1443 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1445 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1447 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1448 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1450 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1452 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1453 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1454 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1455 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1456 objects starting with '#/'.
1458 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1460 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1461 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1462 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1463 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1464 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1465 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1467 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1468 module-modified): New procedures.
1469 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1470 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1472 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1474 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1477 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1479 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1480 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1481 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1483 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1486 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1488 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1489 at multiple calls to read.
1490 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1491 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1492 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1493 continued-lines prompt.
1495 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1496 reading expressions.
1498 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1500 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1501 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1503 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1505 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1506 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
1509 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1511 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1512 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1514 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1515 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
1516 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1517 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1518 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1521 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1523 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1524 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1526 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1528 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
1529 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
1530 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1531 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1533 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1535 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1537 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
1538 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1539 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
1542 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1544 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1545 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
1546 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1547 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1548 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
1549 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1550 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1551 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1552 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
1553 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1554 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
1556 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1558 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1559 peeked from the stream.
1560 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1561 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1562 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1564 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1566 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1567 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1569 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1571 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1572 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
1573 exiting repl with single control-D.
1575 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1577 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1578 error catching loop after quit received.
1579 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1581 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1582 primitive exit if non-interactive.
1583 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1585 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1586 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1588 * popen.scm: new file.
1590 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1592 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
1593 (reverse-iota): removed.
1595 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1597 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1598 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1600 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1602 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1603 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1604 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1605 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1606 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1608 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1610 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1612 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1613 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1615 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1616 Guile's module system.
1618 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1620 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1621 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1622 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1623 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
1624 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1625 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1627 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1628 '() when the condition is false.
1630 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1632 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1634 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1636 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1638 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1640 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1641 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1642 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1644 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1646 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1647 argument order for hash-fold.
1649 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1651 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
1653 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1654 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1656 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1657 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1658 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1659 has been added to the load path).
1661 Use try-load-module.
1663 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1665 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
1666 module between system and user state.
1668 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1670 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1672 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1675 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1677 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1678 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1679 system can create a wrapper class for it.
1681 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1683 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1684 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
1685 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1686 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1687 stack frame encountered.
1689 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1690 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1691 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1692 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1695 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1696 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1697 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1698 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
1701 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1702 define-module switches:
1704 (define-module (foo)
1707 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1710 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1711 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1712 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
1713 module it is a system frame.
1715 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1716 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1717 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1718 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
1719 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1721 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1722 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
1723 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1724 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1725 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
1726 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1728 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1729 status of a module.;
1730 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1731 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1733 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1734 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1735 closure to the module.
1737 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1739 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1741 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1743 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1745 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1747 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1749 Fix from Russ McManus:
1750 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1751 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1752 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1753 either an optional or required value.
1755 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1757 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1759 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1760 of the '() key, not `rest'.
1762 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1763 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1764 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1765 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1767 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1769 * optargs.scm: New file.
1770 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1771 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1773 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1775 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1776 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1777 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1779 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1781 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1782 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1785 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1787 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1789 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1791 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1792 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1793 applied to the module itself.
1795 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1797 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1799 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
1800 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1802 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1804 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1806 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1808 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1810 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1812 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1813 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1815 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1817 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1818 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1819 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1820 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1821 among BINDINGS is referenced.
1822 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
1823 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1825 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1827 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1828 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1830 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1832 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1833 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1836 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1838 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1840 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1842 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1844 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1846 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1847 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1848 adapt to the new hooks.
1850 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1852 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1853 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
1854 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1856 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1857 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1859 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1860 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1861 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1862 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1863 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1864 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1865 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1866 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1867 first to register linked modules.
1869 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1870 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1871 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1873 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1874 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1875 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1876 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1878 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1880 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1883 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1884 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1885 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1887 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1889 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1890 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1891 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1893 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1895 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
1896 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1897 result of the last form.
1899 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1901 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1904 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1906 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1907 readline-set!: New options interface.
1909 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1911 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1913 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1914 at the end of boot-9.scm.
1916 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1918 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1919 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1921 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1923 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1924 interactive session.
1925 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1927 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1928 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1930 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1932 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1934 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1936 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1937 read line was empty.
1939 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1941 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1942 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1944 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1946 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1948 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1949 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1950 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1952 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1953 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1955 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1956 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1957 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1959 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1960 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1961 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
1962 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1963 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1964 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1966 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1968 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1969 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1971 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1973 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1974 and short vectors #h(...).
1976 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1978 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1979 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1980 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1982 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1984 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1985 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
1986 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1988 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1990 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1991 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1993 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1994 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
1995 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
1996 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1998 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2000 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2003 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2004 order to allow the empty list as arg.
2005 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2006 context with traps enabled.
2008 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2010 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2012 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2014 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2016 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2017 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2018 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
2019 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2020 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2022 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2024 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2025 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2027 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2029 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2031 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2033 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2035 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2037 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2039 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2041 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2042 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2044 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2046 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2047 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2048 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2049 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
2052 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2053 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2054 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2056 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2058 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2059 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2060 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2061 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
2062 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2063 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2064 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2066 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2068 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2070 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2072 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2073 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2074 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
2075 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2076 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2077 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2079 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2081 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2082 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2083 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
2086 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2088 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2090 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2092 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2094 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2096 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2099 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2101 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2103 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2105 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2106 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2108 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2110 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2111 similar in use to `use-modules'.
2112 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2113 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2115 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2116 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2118 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2120 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2122 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2124 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2125 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2128 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2129 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2131 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2132 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2133 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2135 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2137 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2139 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2141 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2142 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2144 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2146 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2148 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2150 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
2151 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2153 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2155 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
2158 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2160 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2161 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2163 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2165 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2167 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2169 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
2172 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2174 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2175 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
2176 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2177 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2178 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2181 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2183 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2184 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2185 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2187 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2189 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2191 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2192 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2194 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2196 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2197 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2198 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2199 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2200 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
2201 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2202 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2205 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2207 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2210 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2212 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2213 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2214 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
2215 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
2216 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2217 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2219 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2221 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2222 usefully so they will work from a script.
2224 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2226 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2227 neighborhood of the record code.
2229 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2231 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
2232 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2233 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2234 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2236 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2238 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2239 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2240 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2242 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2244 Add support for readline function.
2245 * readline.scm: New module.
2246 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2247 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2248 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2250 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2251 repl-reader to use them.
2252 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2254 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2256 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2258 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2259 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2261 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2263 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2264 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2265 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2267 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2269 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
2270 #f, abort terminates the process.
2271 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2272 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
2274 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2276 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2277 print-state, throw it away.
2279 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2281 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2284 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2286 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2287 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2288 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2289 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2291 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2292 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2294 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2296 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2298 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2300 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2301 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2302 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2303 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2304 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2306 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2307 distribution and installation.

2314 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2316 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2317 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
2318 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2320 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2321 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2324 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2326 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
2328 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
2330 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2332 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2333 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2334 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2335 field a separate argument.
2337 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2339 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2341 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2343 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

2349 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
2351 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2353 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2354 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2355 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2356 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2357 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
2358 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2360 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2361 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2362 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2363 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2364 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2367 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2369 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

2378 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2380 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2381 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2382 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
2383 expansion inside the slib module.
2385 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
2387 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
2388 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

2393 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2395 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2396 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2397 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2399 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2400 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2403 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
2405 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
2406 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
2408 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
2410 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
2411 (make-module): Modified initialization.
2412 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
2413 mutator for module-associated transformer.
2414 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
2415 `scm:eval-transformer'.
2416 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
2417 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current

2423 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2425 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2426 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2427 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2428 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2429 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2431 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2432 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2433 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2435 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2436 the syncase interface.
2438 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2440 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2441 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2442 workings of the current module system).
2444 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2446 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2447 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
2450 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2452 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
2453 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
2454 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
2456 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2458 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2459 according to the following priorities:
2460 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2461 2. bindings from the-scm-module
2463 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2464 disabling the scheme interpreter.
2465 (new-interpreter): New function.
2467 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2468 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2469 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
2471 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2473 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2475 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2477 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
2479 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2481 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
2483 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
2485 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2487 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2488 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
2491 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2493 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
2494 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
2495 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
2496 symbols matching regexp.
2498 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
2499 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2502 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2503 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2504 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2505 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2506 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2508 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
2509 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
2511 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2513 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
2514 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
2516 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
2517 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
2519 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
2521 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2523 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2524 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2525 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.

2529 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

2531 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
2533 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2535 * session.scm: New file: Session support.
2536 (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.
2538 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2540 * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
2543 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2545 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2546 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2547 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2549 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2550 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2553 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2554 order to narrow it correctly.
2555 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

2562 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2564 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
2566 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2568 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2569 builtin `with-fluids*'.
2571 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2573 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2574 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
2575 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2577 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2579 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
2582 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2584 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,

2590 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2592 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:

2609 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2610 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2611 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
2612 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2613 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2614 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2616 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2617 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2618 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2619 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2621 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2623 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2624 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
2625 sending in bug reports.
2626 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2627 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2628 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2629 display a warning if the two are different.
2630 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2631 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2632 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2634 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2636 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
2638 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2640 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2641 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2643 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2644 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2645 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2646 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2647 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2648 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2651 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
2652 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2655 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2656 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
2658 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2661 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2664 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2666 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2669 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2671 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2672 vtable and not the one of the struct.
2674 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2676 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2677 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2678 to support printing of structures.
2679 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2680 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
2681 commented out printing code.
2682 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2683 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".

2692 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2693 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2694 during call to scm-style-repl.
2696 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2698 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2699 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2700 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2701 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
2702 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
2704 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2706 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2707 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2710 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2712 * regex.scm: New file.
2713 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2714 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2716 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2718 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2719 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2720 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2721 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
2723 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2725 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2728 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2730 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2731 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
2732 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2734 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2736 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2737 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2740 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2742 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2744 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2746 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2748 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2750 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2751 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2754 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2756 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2757 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2758 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
2760 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2762 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2763 the Scheme code like code yet.
2764 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2766 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2768 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2769 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
2770 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2772 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2774 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2776 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2779 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2781 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2783 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2785 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2787 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2788 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2789 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2791 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2793 Get 'make dist' to work again.
2794 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2795 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2797 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2799 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2800 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2802 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2804 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2807 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2809 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2811 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2813 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2814 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2816 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2818 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2819 instead of in libguile.
2820 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2821 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2823 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2825 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2827 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2828 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2830 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2832 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2833 sockaddr:port): new functions.
2835 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2837 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2838 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2839 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2840 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2842 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2844 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2845 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2847 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2849 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2851 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2853 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2854 keywords and symbols.
2856 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2858 * slib.scm: update read usage.
2860 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2861 Don't define read-sharp.
2863 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2864 (read-sharp): removed.
2865 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2866 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2868 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2870 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2872 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
2873 primitive procedure.)
2875 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2876 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2878 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2880 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2882 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2884 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2886 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2888 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2890 * (exit): alias for quit.
2892 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2894 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2895 return the quit args.
2896 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2897 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
2898 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2900 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2902 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2904 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2906 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2907 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2909 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2910 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2912 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2913 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2916 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2918 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2920 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2921 (add-hooks!): New macro.
2922 Change hooks to use these functions.
2924 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
2925 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2926 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2928 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2929 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2930 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2931 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
2932 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2933 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2934 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2937 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2938 and exit-frame exceptions.
2940 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2941 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2942 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2943 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2944 result; otherwise display "> ".
2945 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2947 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2948 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2949 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
2950 repository version runnable.
2952 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2954 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2955 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
2956 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2957 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2958 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2959 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2961 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2963 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2964 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2966 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2968 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2969 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
2971 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2973 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2975 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2977 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2980 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2982 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2983 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2985 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2987 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
2990 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2992 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2993 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2995 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2997 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2999 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3000 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3001 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3002 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3003 dynamic linking of modules.
3004 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3005 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3007 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3009 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3011 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3013 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3016 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3017 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
3020 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3022 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3023 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3024 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3026 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3028 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3029 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
3032 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3034 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3035 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3036 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3038 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3040 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3041 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3042 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3043 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3045 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3046 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3047 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3048 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3049 (such as the-scm-module).
3051 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3053 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3056 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
3058 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3059 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3060 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3062 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3064 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3065 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3066 function, use it accordingly.
3068 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3070 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
3071 function of no arguments.
3072 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3073 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3074 set-current-module): Uses changed.
3075 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3076 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3077 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3078 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3079 *top-level-eval-closure*.
3081 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3083 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3084 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3086 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3088 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3089 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3090 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
3091 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
3092 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3094 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3097 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3098 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
3099 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3100 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3102 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3104 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3106 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3107 If the user wants to see this, he can do
3108 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3110 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3113 Added `before-read-hook'.
3115 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3117 (provide): New function.
3119 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3122 (backtrace): New function.
3124 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3125 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3126 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
3127 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3128 is found in operator position in a frame.
3130 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3133 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3134 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3135 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3137 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
3139 (library-vicinity): Updated.
3141 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3143 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3145 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3147 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3149 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3150 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
3152 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3153 so they'll get distributed.
3155 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
3156 should see as little clutter as possible.
3157 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3158 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3159 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3161 * r4rs.scm: New file.
3162 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3163 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3164 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3165 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3166 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3167 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3168 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3169 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3170 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3172 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3173 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3175 * test.scm: New file.
3177 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3178 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
3179 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3181 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3182 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3184 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3186 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
3187 call %load-announce.
3189 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3191 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3192 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3193 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3195 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3197 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3199 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3200 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3201 SCSH (which this isn't).
3203 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3205 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3207 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3209 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3210 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3211 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3213 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
3214 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
3215 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3216 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3219 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3221 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3223 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3225 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3226 error-catching-loop.
3227 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3228 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3229 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3231 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3232 error-catching-loop.
3234 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3236 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3237 (make-module): Rework for readability.
3238 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3239 should be '(), not #f.
3241 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3242 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3244 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3246 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3247 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3250 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3252 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3253 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3254 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3255 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3257 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3259 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3261 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3263 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3265 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3266 throw-handler-default.
3267 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3269 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3271 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3272 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3274 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3276 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3277 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3278 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3279 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3281 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3283 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3284 Append "." to the default %load-path.
3285 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3286 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3288 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3289 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3290 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3291 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3294 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3296 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3298 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3301 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3304 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3306 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3308 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3309 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3311 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3313 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3315 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3317 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3319 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
3320 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3321 Don't set up 'error as a key.
3322 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3323 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3325 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3326 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3327 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3328 they seem redundant.
3329 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3330 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
3331 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3332 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
3333 directly files starting with "/").
3334 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3335 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3337 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3339 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3341 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3342 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3343 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
3344 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3345 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3346 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3347 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
3348 robust to just do it in the C code.
3350 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3352 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
3353 %try-load itself was the primitive.
3354 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3355 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3356 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3358 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3360 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3361 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3362 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3364 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3366 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3367 system-error, not every kind of error.
3368 (scm-error): new procedure.
3370 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3372 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3374 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3376 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3377 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
3378 of args are supplied.
3379 (%%system-errors): removed.
3380 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3381 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3382 %%handle-system-error.
3383 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3384 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3385 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3386 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3388 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3390 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3391 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3392 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3393 %S (embed an argument using "write").
3395 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3397 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3398 the empty list if they are #f.
3399 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3401 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3403 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3405 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3406 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3407 aborting, just the key and subr.
3408 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3409 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3410 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
3412 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3414 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3415 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
3416 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3417 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3418 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
3420 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3422 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
3423 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
3424 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
3425 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
3427 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3429 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
3430 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
3431 initialize %load-path.
3433 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3434 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
3436 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3438 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3439 Add the directory named after the version number.
3440 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
3441 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
3442 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
3443 sitedatadir): New definitions.
3444 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
3445 (install): Create the above directories.
3446 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
3447 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
3449 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3451 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3452 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3453 in the Makefile directly.
3454 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3456 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
3458 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
3459 here, where people expect to find them.
3461 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3463 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
3464 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
3466 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
3468 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3470 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
3471 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
3473 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3475 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
3476 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
3478 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
3479 weak-key-hash-table.
3481 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3483 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
3484 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
3485 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
3486 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
3487 (%open-file): removed.
3488 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
3489 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
3491 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3493 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
3494 (manifest): Deleted.
3495 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
3496 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
3498 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3500 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
3501 now that they throw errors directly.
3502 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
3503 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
3505 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3507 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
3509 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
3511 * The more things change...
