   8
   9 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  10
  11         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
  12         '() instead of #f.
  13         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
  14         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of

  16         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
  17
  18         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
  19         documentation.scm.
  20

  22         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
  23         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
  24         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.

  30
  31 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  32
  33         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
  34         (write-all): Removed.
  35         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
  36         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
  37
  38 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  39
  40         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
  41
  42 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  43
  44         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
  45         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
  46         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
  47         closure.
  48
  49 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  50
  51         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
  52         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
  53         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
  54         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
  55         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
  56         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
  57         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
  58
  59 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  60
  61         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
  62         accept complex numbers as parameter.
  63
  64 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  65
  66         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
  67         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
  68
  69 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  70
  71         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
  72         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
  73         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
  74         instead of remove-if when iterating.
  75         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
  76         delete-if! when iterating.
  77
  78 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  79
  80         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
  81
  82 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  83
  84         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
  85
  86 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  87
  88         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
  89         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
  90         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
  91         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
  92
  93 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  94
  95         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
  96         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
  97
  98 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  99
 100         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 101         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 102         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 103         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 104
 105 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 106
 107         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 108         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 109
 110 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 111
 112         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 113         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 114
 115 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 116
 117         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 118         Dirk Hermann!
 119
 120 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 121
 122         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 123         source of the numerous very short changes.
 124
 125 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 126
 127         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 128         public.
 129
 130         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 131         info pages.
 132
 133 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 134
 135         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 136         from slib docs.
 137
 138 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 139
 140         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 141         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 142
 143 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 144
 145         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 146         to string-append.
 147
 148 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 149
 150         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 151         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 152         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 153
 154 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 155
 156         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 157         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 158         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 159         Narazaki for this change.
 160
 161 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 162
 163         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 164         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 165         %S.
 166
 167         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 168         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 169
 170 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 171
 172         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 173         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 174
 175 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 176
 177         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 178         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 179         use define-public to export from the module.
 180
 181 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 182
 183         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 184         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 185         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
 186
 187 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 188
 189         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
 190
 191 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 192
 193         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
 194         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
 195
 196 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 197
 198         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
 199
 200         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
 201
 202         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
 203
 204 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 205
 206         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
 207         long_long uniform vectors.
 208
 209 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 210
 211         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
 212         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
 213
 214 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 215
 216         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 217         script to create generated files like this one.
 218
 219 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 220
 221         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 222         available before using getpw and getuid.
 223         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
 224         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
 225         check for stat.
 226         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
 227         check for .guile, instead of stat.
 228         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
 229         available.
 230         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 231         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 232         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 233
 234         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 235         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 236
 237         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 238
 239 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 240
 241         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
 242         than 'exit-debugger.
 243
 244         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
 245         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
 246
 247         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
 248
 249 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 250
 251         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
 252         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
 253         ("position"): New command.
 254         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
 255         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
 256         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
 257         to return a valid state.)
 258         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
 259
 260 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 261
 262         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
 263         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 264         Badros.)
 265
 266 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 267
 268         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 269         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 270
 271 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 272
 273         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
 274
 275         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.

 277         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
 278         (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
 279
 280         * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
 281         display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
 282         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
 283         expression.
 284         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
 285         Handle errors.
 286
 287 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 288
 289         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 290         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 291
 292         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
 293
 294 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 295
 296         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 297         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 298         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 299         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 300
 301         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 302         argument.
 303
 304         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 305         both forward and backward views of the stack
 306         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 307         Use selector `frame-number';
 308         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 309         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 310         Use (ice-9 debug).
 311         Use readline conditionally.
 312
 313 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 314
 315         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 316         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 317         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 318
 319         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 320         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 321         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 322
 323 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 324
 325         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 326
 327         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 328
 329         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 330
 331         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 332
 333 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 334
 335         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 336         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 337         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 338         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 339         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 340         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 341         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 342         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 343         libguile-config-stamp.
 344         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 345         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 346         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 347         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 348         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 349
 350 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 351
 352         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 353         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 354         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 355
 356         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 357         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 358         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 359         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 360         readline.
 361
 362         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 363
 364 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 365
 366         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 367
 368 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 369
 370         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 371         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 372
 373 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 374
 375         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 376         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 377         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 378         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 379         objects starting with '#/'.

 382
 383         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 384         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 385         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 386         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 387         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 388         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 389         `observer-id'.
 390         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 391         module-modified): New procedures.
 392         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 393         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 394
 395 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 396
 397         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 398         defines.
 399
 400 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 401
 402         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 403         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 404         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 405
 406         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 407         position.
 408
 409 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 410
 411         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 412         at multiple calls to read.
 413         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 414         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 415         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 416         continued-lines prompt.
 417
 418         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 419         reading expressions.
 420
 421 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 422
 423         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 424         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 425
 426 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 427
 428         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 429         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 430         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 431
 432         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 433
 434         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 435         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 436
 437         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 438         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 439         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 440         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 441         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 442         instead of a port.
 443
 444 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 445
 446         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 447         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 448
 449         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 450
 451         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 452         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 453         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 454         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 455
 456         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 457
 458         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 459
 460         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 461         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 462         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 463         an alist.
 464
 465         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 466
 467         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 468         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 469         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 470         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 471         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 472         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 473         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 474         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 475         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 476         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 477         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 478
 479         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 480
 481         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 482         peeked from the stream.
 483         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 484         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 485         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 486
 487         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 488
 489         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 490         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 491
 492         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 493
 494         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 495         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 496         exiting repl with single control-D.
 497
 498         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 499
 500         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 501         error catching loop after quit received.
 502         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 503
 504         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 505         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 506         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 507
 508         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 509         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 510         boot-9.scm.
 511         * popen.scm: new file.
 512
 513 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 514
 515        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 516        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 517
 518 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 519
 520         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 521         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 522
 523 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 524
 525         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 526         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 527         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 528         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 529         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 530
 531 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 532
 533         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 534
 535         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 536         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 537
 538         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 539         Guile's module system.
 540
 541         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 542         changes:
 543         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 544         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 545         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 546         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 547         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 548         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 549         modern CL behavior.
 550         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 551         '() when the condition is false.
 552
 553 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 554
 555         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 556
 557 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 558
 559         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 560
 561 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 562
 563         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 564         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 565         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 566
 567 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 568
 569         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 570         argument order for hash-fold.
 571
 572 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 573
 574         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 575         resolve-module.
 576         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 577         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 578
 579         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 580         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 581         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 582         has been added to the load path).
 583
 584         Use try-load-module.
 585
 586 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 587
 588         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 589         module between system and user state.
 590
 591 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 592
 593         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 594
 595         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 596         definition.
 597
 598 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 599
 600         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 601         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 602         system can create a wrapper class for it.
 603
 604 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 605
 606         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
 607         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
 608         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
 609         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
 610         stack frame encountered.
 611
 612         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
 613         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
 614         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
 615         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
 616         list).]
 617
 618         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
 619         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
 620         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
 621         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
 622         please tell me!]
 623
 624         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
 625         define-module switches:
 626
 627         (define-module (foo)
 628           :no-backtrace)
 629
 630         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
 631         modules.
 632
 633         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
 634         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
 635         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
 636         module it is a system frame.
 637
 638         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
 639         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
 640         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
 641         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
 642         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
 643
 644         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
 645         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
 646         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
 647         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
 648         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
 649         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
 650
 651         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
 652         status of a module.;
 653         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
 654         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
 655
 656         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
 657         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
 658         closure to the module.
 659
 660         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
 661
 662 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 669
 670 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 671
 672         Fix from Russ McManus:
 673         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
 674         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
 675         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
 676         either an optional or required value.
 677
 678 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 679
 680         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
 681
 682         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
 683         of the '() key, not `rest'.
 684
 685         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
 686         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
 687         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
 688         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 689

 693         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
 694         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
 695
 696 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 697
 698         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
 699         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
 700         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 701
 702 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 703
 704         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
 705         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
 706         for isn't loaded.
 707
 708 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 709
 710         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 711
 712 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 713
 714         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
 715         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
 716         applied to the module itself.
 717
 718 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 719
 720         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
 721
 722         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
 723         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
 724
 725 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 726
 727         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

 730
 731         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
 732
 733 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 734
 735         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
 736         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
 737
 738 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 739
 740         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
 741         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
 742         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
 743         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
 744         among BINDINGS is referenced.
 745         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
 746         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
 747
 748 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 749
 750         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
 751         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
 752
 753 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 754
 755         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
 756         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
 757         static libraries.
 758
 759 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 760
 761         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
 762
 763 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 764
 765         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
 766
 767 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 768
 769         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
 770         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
 771         adapt to the new hooks.
 772
 773 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 774
 775         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
 776         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
 777         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
 778         code.
 779         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
 780         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
 781
 782         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
 783         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
 784         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
 785         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
 786         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
 787         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
 788         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
 789         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
 790         first to register linked modules.
 791
 792         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
 793         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
 794         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
 795
 796         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
 797         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
 798         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
 799         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
 800
 801         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
 802         to use from C:
 803         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
 804         libguile/feature.c.
 805
 806         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
 807         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
 808         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
 809
 810 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 811
 812         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
 813         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
 814         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
 815
 816 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 817
 818         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
 819         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
 820         result of the last form.
 821
 822 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 823
 824         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
 825         syncase.scm.
 826
 827         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
 828
 829         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
 830         readline-set!: New options interface.
 831
 832         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
 833
 834 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 835
 836         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
 837         at the end of boot-9.scm.
 838
 839 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 840
 841         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
 842         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 843
 844 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 845
 846         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
 847         interactive session.
 848         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
 849
 850         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
 851         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
 852
 853 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 854
 855         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
 856
 857 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 858
 859         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
 860         read line was empty.
 861
 862 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 863
 864         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
 865         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
 866
 867         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
 868
 869         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
 870         problem.  Duh.
 871         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
 872         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
 873         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
 874
 875         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
 876         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
 877         into...
 878         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
 879         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
 880         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
 881
 882         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
 883         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
 884         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
 885         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
 886         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
 887         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
 888         psyntax.ss.
 889         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 890
 891         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 892         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 893
 894 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 895
 896         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
 897         and short vectors #h(...).
 898
 899 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 900
 901         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
 902         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
 903         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
 904
 905 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 906
 907         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
 908         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
 909         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
 910
 911 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 912
 913         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
 914         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
 915
 916         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
 917         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
 918         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
 919         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
 920
 921 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 922
 923         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
 924         trace flag.
 925
 926         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
 927         order to allow the empty list as arg.
 928         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
 929         context with traps enabled.
 930
 931 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 932
 933         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
 934         module.
 935         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
 936
 937 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 938
 939         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
 940         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
 941         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
 942         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
 943         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
 944
 945 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 946
 947         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
 948         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
 949
 950 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 951
 952         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
 953
 954 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 955
 956         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
 957
 958 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 959
 960         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
 961
 962 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 963
 964         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
 965         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
 966
 967 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 968
 969         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
 970         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
 971         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
 972         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
 973         Archibald.)
 974
 975         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
 976         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
 977         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
 978
 979 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 980
 981         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
 982         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
 983         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
 984         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
 985         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
 986         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
 987         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 988
 989 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 990
 991         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
 992
 993 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 994
 995         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
 996         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
 997         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
 998         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
 999         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1000         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1001
1002 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1003
1004         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1005         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1006         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1007         Steven G. Johnson.)
1008
1009 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1010
1011         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1012
1013 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1014
1015         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1016
1017 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1018
1019         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1020         be completed.
1021
1022 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1023
1024         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1025
1026 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1027
1028         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1029         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1030
1031 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1032
1033         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1034         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1035         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1036         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1037         transformer.
1038         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1039         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1040
1041 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1042
1043         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1044
1045 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1046
1047         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1048         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1049         completion.
1050
1051         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1052         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1053
1054         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1055         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1056         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1057
1058         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1059
1060 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1061
1062         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1063
1064         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1065         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1066
1067 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1068
1069         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1070
1071 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1072
1073         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1074         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1075
1076         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1077
1078         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1079         obsolete.
1080
1081 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1082
1083         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1084         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1085
1086 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1087
1088         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1089
1090 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1091
1092         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1093         Stachowiak.)
1094
1095 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1096
1097         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1098         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1099         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1100         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1101         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1102         threads.
1103
1104 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1105
1106         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1107         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1108         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1109
1110 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1111
1112         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1113
1114         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1115         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1116
1117 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1118
1119         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1120         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1121         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1122         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1123         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1124         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1125         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1126         to go here.
1127
1128 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1129
1130         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1131         is now a fluid.
1132
1133 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1134
1135         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1136         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1137         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1138         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1139         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1140         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1141
1142 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1143
1144         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1145         usefully so they will work from a script.
1146
1147 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1148
1149         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1150         neighborhood of the record code.
1151
1152 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1153
1154         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1155         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1156         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1157         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1158
1159 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1160
1161         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1162         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1163         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1164
1165 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1166
1167         Add support for readline function.
1168         * readline.scm: New module.
1169         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1170         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1171         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1172         anything.
1173         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1174         repl-reader to use them.
1175         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1176
1177         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1178
1179 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1180
1181         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1182         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1183
1184 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1185
1186         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1187         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1188         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1189
1190 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1191
1192         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1193         #f, abort terminates the process.
1194         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1195         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1196
1197 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1198
1199         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1200         print-state, throw it away.
1201
1202 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1203
1204         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1205         `0'.
1206
1207 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1208
1209         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1210         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1211         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1212         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1213         user field).
1214         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1215         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1216
1217 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1218
1219         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1220
1221 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1222
1223         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1224         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1225         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1226         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1227         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1228         boot-9.scm.
1229         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1230         distribution and installation.
1231         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1232
1233 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1234
1235         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1236
1237 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1238
1239         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1240         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1241         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1242
1243         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1244         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1245         symbol.
1246
1247 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1248
1249         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1250

1255         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1256         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1257         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1258         field a separate argument.
1259
1260         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1261
1262 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1263
1264         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1265
1266         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1267         vicinity;
1268         Provide defmacro.
1269
1270 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1275
1276         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1277         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1278         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1279         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1280         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1281         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1282         registered.
1283         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1284         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1285         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1286         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1287         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1288         link a .so-file.

1296         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1297         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.

1300
1301         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1302
1303         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1304         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1305         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1306         expansion inside the slib module.
1307
1308         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1309         constructors.

1315         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
1316         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1317
1318         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1319         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1320         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1321         source.
1322         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1323         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1324         been loaded.
1325
1326 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1327
1328         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1329         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1330         `use-syntax'.
1331         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1332
1333         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

1335         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1336         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1337         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1338         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1339         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1340         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1341         module.
1342         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1343
1344 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1345
1346         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1347
1348         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1349         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1350         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1351         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1352         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1353
1354         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1355         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1356         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1357         syncase macros.
1358         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1359         the syncase interface.
1360
1361 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1362
1363         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1364         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1365         workings of the current module system).
1366
1367 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1368
1369         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1370         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1371         off!
1372
1373 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1378
1379 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1380
1381         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1382         according to the following priorities:
1383         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1384         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1385         3. tcl bindings
1386         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1387         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1388         (new-interpreter): New function.
1389
1390         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1391         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1392         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

1403

1409
1410         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1411         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1412         source!
1413
1414 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1415
1416         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.

1419         symbols matching regexp.
1420
1421         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
1422         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1423         in stack-ref).
1424
1425         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1426         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1427         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1428         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1429         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1430         result protocol;
1431         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1432         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.

1441
1442         * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1443
1444 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1445
1446         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1447         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1448         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1449
1450         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1451

1467
1468         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1469         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1470         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1471
1472         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1473         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1474         the top.
1475
1476         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1477         order to narrow it correctly.

1490
1491         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1492         builtin `with-fluids*'.
1493
1494 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1495
1496         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1497         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1498         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1499
1500 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1501
1502         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces

1506
1507         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1508         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1509         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1510         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1511         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1512
1513 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1514
1515         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1516         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1517         a default of /.
1518
1519         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1520
1521 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1522
1523         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1524         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1525         notation, instead of #/ notation.
1526

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

1649         in 1997.
1650
1651 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1652
1653         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1654         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
1655         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1656
1657 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1658
1659         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1660         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1661         here.
1662
1663 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1664
1665         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1666

1672
1673         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1674         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1675         fixes this too.
1676
1677 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1678
1679         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1680         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1681         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
1682
1683 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1684
1685         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1686         the Scheme code like code yet.
1687         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1688
1689 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1690
1691         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1692         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
1693         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1694
1695 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1696
1697         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1698         use-modules macro
1699         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1700         can't be found.
1701
1702 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1703
1704         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1705
1706 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1707
1708         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1709
1710         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1711         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1712         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.

1721         no plugins.
1722         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1723         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1734 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1735
1736         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1737         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).

1740
1741         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1742         instead of in libguile.
1743         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1744         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1745
1746 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1747
1748         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1749         procedures.

1753 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1754
1755         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1756         sockaddr:port): new functions.
1757
1758 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1759
1760         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1761         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1762         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1763         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1764
1765 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1766
1767         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1768         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1769

1777         keywords and symbols.
1778
1779 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

1787         (read-sharp): removed.
1788         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take

1796         primitive procedure.)
1797
1798         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1799         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1800
1801 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1802
1803         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1804
1805 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1806
1807         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1808
1809 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1810
1811         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1812         read gets EOF.
1813         * (exit): alias for quit.
1814
1815 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1816
1817         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1818         return the quit args.
1819         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1820         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
1821         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1822
1823         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1824
1825 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1826
1827         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1828
1829         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1830         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1831
1832         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1833         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1834
1835         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1836         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1837         of handlers.
1838
1839 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1840
1841         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1842
1843         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1844         (add-hooks!): New macro.
1845         Change hooks to use these functions.
1846
1847         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
1848         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1849         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1850         the source! :-)
1851         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1852         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1853         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1854         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
1855         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1856         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1857         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1858         traced.
1859
1860         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1861         and exit-frame exceptions.
1862
1863         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1864         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1865         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1866         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1867         result; otherwise display "> ".
1868         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1869
1870         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1871         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1872         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
1873         repository version runnable.
1874
1875 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1876
1877         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1878         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
1879         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1880         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1881         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1882         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1883
1884 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1885
1886         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1887         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1888         and eval.
1889         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1890         "defined?".
1891         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1892         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
1893
1894 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1895
1896         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1897
1898 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1899
1900         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1901         %read-sharp layer.
1902
1903 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1904
1905         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1906         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1907
1908 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1909
1910         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
1911         backtrace.c.)
1912
1913 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1914
1915         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1916         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1917
1918 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1919
1920         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1921
1922         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1923         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1924         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1925         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1926         dynamic linking of modules.
1927         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1928         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1929
1930 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1931
1932         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1933
1934 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1935
1936         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1937         that's what it is.
1938
1939         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1940         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
1941         was false.
1942
1943 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1944
1945         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1946         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1947         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1948
1949 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1950
1951         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1952         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
1953         yet.
1954
1955 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1956
1957         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1958         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1959         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1960
1961 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1962
1963         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1964         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1965         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1966         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1967
1968         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1969         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1970         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1971         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1972         (such as the-scm-module).
1973
1974 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1975
1976         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1977         %search-load-path.
1978
1979 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
1980
1981         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1982         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1983         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1984
1985 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1986
1987         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1988         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1989         function, use it accordingly.
1990
1991 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1992
1993         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
1994         function of no arguments.
1995         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1996         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1997         set-current-module): Uses changed.
1998         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1999         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2000         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2001         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2002         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2003
2004 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2005
2006         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2007         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2008
2009 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2010
2011         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2012         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2013         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2014         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2015         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2016
2017         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2018         `*features*'.
2019
2020         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2021         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2022         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2023         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2024
2025         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2026
2027         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2028
2029         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2030         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2031         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2032
2033         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2034         error.
2035
2036         Added `before-read-hook'.
2037
2038         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2039
2040         (provide): New function.
2041
2042         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2043         in backtraces.
2044
2045         (backtrace): New function.
2046
2047         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2048         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2049         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2050         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2051         is found in operator position in a frame.
2052
2053         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2054         by default.
2055
2056         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2057         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2058         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2059
2060         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2061
2062         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2063
2064         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2065
2066         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2067
2068 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2069
2070         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2071
2072         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2073         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2074
2075         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2076         so they'll get distributed.
2077
2078         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2079         should see as little clutter as possible.
2080         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2081         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2082         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2083
2084         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2085         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2086         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2087         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2088         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2089         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2090         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2091         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2092         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2093         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2094         that are not.
2095         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2096         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2097
2098         * test.scm: New file.
2099
2100         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2101         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2102         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2103
2104         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2105         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2106
2107         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2108         work now.
2109         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2110         call %load-announce.
2111
2112 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2113
2114         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2115         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2116         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2117         components.
2118         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2119
2120 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2121
2122         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2123         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2124         SCSH (which this isn't).
2125
2126 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2127
2128         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2129
2130 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2131
2132         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2133         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2134         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2135         these.
2136         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2137         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2138         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2139         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2140         save-stack.
2141
2142 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2143
2144         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2145
2146         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2147
2148         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2149         error-catching-loop.
2150         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2151         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2152         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2153
2154         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2155         error-catching-loop.
2156
2157 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2158
2159         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2160         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2161         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2162         should be '(), not #f.
2163
2164         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2165         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2166
2167 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2168
2169         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2170         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2171         error-signal.
2172
2173 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2174
2175         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2176         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2177         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2178         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2179
2180 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2181
2182         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2183
2184 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2185
2186         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2187
2188         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2189         throw-handler-default.
2190         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2191         reported.
2192         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2193         acro.
2194         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2195         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2196
2197 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2198
2199         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2200         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2201         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2202         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2203
2204 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2205
2206         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2207         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2208         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2209         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2210         ...))
2211         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2212         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2213         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2214         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2215         file-is-directory?
2216
2217 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2218
2219         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2220
2221         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2222         distribution.
2223
2224         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2225         `switch-repl'.
2226
2227         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2228
2229 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2230
2231         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2232         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2233
2234 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2235
2236         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2237
2238         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2239
2240 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2241
2242         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2243         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2244         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2245         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2246         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2247
2248         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2249         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2250         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2251         they seem redundant.
2252         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2253         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2254         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2255         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2256         directly files starting with "/").
2257         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2258         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2259
2260         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2261
2262 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2263
2264         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2265         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2266         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2267         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2268         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2269         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2270         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2271         robust to just do it in the C code.
2272
2273 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2274
2275         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2276         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2277         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2278         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2279         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2280
2281 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2282
2283         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2284         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2285         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2286
2287 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2288
2289         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2290         system-error, not every kind of error.
2291         (scm-error): new procedure.
2292
2293 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2294
2295         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2296
2297 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2298
2299         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2300         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
2301         of args are supplied.
2302         (%%system-errors): removed.
2303         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2304         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2305         %%handle-system-error.
2306         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2307         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2308         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2309         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2310
2311 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2312
2313         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2314         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2315         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2316         %S (embed an argument using "write").
2317
2318 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2319
2320         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2321         the empty list if they are #f.
2322         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2323
2324 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2325
2326         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2327
2328         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2329         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2330         aborting, just the key and subr.
2331         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2332         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2333         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2334
2335 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2336
2337         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2338         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2339         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2340         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2341         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2342
2343 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2344
2345         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2346         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2347         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2348         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2349
2350 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2351
2352         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2353         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2354         initialize %load-path.
2355
2356         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2357         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2358
2359 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2360
2361         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2362         Add the directory named after the version number.
2363         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2364         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2365         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2366         sitedatadir): New definitions.
2367         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

2371
2372 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2373
2374         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2375         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2376         in the Makefile directly.
2377         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2378         for these.
2379         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2380         aux_files.
2381         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2382         here, where people expect to find them.

2385
2386         * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2387         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2388
2389         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2390
2391 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2392
2393         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2394         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)
2395
2396 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2397
2398         * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2399         Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2400
2401         * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2402         weak-key-hash-table.
2403
2404 Sat Aug  3 06:16:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2405
2406         * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2407         (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes.  return

2410         (%open-file): removed.
2411         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2412         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2413
2414 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2415
2416         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2417         (manifest): Deleted.
2418         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2419         directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2420
2421 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2422
2423         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2424         now that they throw errors directly.
2425         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2426         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2427
2428 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2429
2430         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2431
2432 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>
2433
2434         * The more things change...
2435
2436
