   1 2002-11-24  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
   2
   3         Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
   4         following changes:
   5
   6         * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
   7
   8         (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
   9         %system-define.
  10
  11         * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
  12         until Guile supports hygienic macros.
  13
  14 2002-11-17  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  15
  16         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
  17         has been removed from the core.
  18
  19 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  20
  21         * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
  22         identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
  23         syntax-rules, with-syntax, include):  Changed definitions to form
  24         'real' macro definitions.
  25
  26 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  27
  28         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
  29         Fixed my previous fix (blush).
  30
  31 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  32
  33         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
  34         Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
  35
  36 2002-11-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  37
  38         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition
  39         needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.
  40
  41 2002-11-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  42
  43         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"
  44         change below.
  45
  46         * debugger/breakpoints/source.scm: Enable source property
  47         recording when module is loaded.
  48         (##): Cope with ports whose `filename' is not a string.
  49
  50 2002-11-04  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  51
  52         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Simplify code-generation
  53         code.
  54
  55         * debugger/command-loop.scm (read-and-dispatch-command): Import
  56         set-readline-prompt dynamically if we need to.  (Previous
  57         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
  58         readline).)
  59
  60 2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  61
  62         * format.scm (format): Wrap a monitor around format:format since
  63         it is not thread-safe.
  64
  65 2002-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  66
  67         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'.  This
  68         value will be returned by join-thread.
  69
  70 2002-10-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  71
  72         Merging debugger enhancements previously in separate
  73         `guile-debugger' package ...
  74
  75         * debugger.scm: Factored out into the following constituent parts
  76         - see comment in file for more details.
  77         (*not-yet-introduced*): New (avoids repeatedly introducing the
  78         debugger when entering it from breakpoints).
  79         (debug-stack): New.
  80         (debug): Rewrite to use more general `debug-stack'.
  81
  82         * debugger/commands.scm, debugger/command-loop.scm,
  83         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits
  84         of old (ice-9 debugger), plus some rewriting and enhancements for
  85         breakpoint support ...
  86
  87         * debugger/state.scm (state-rtd): Add flags field.
  88         (make-state): Extend to optionally take flags.

  91         (write-state-short): Rewritten to print out the current source
  92         location in a way that is more easily trackable by Emacs.
  93
  94         * debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
  95         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
  96         execution from a breakpoint.
  97
  98         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,
  99         debugger/breakpoints/procedural.scm,
 100         debugger/breakpoints/range.scm, debugger/breakpoints/source.scm,
 101         debugger/trap-hooks.scm, debugger/trc.scm: New files - breakpoint

 109
 110         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Do not call unmask-signals, that
 111         should be unnecessary now.
 112
 113 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 114
 115         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
 116         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
 117         the-root-module.
 118
 119 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 120
 121         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
 122         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and
 123         call-with-unblocked-asyncs instead of mask-signals and
 124         unmask-signals.
 125
 126 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

 132
 133         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
 134         >= 0.
 135
 136 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 137
 138         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to
 139         limit the signal stack.
 140

 150
 151         * syncase.scm: Set the module transformer of the-syncase-module so

 201         * gap-buffer.scm: New file.

 224
 225         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's

 227         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
 228
 229         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.

 242
 243         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
 244         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
 245         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
 246         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
 247
 248 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 249

 252         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
 253         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
 254         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
 255

 259         these in the core.
 260

 262

 266         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
 267         positions.
 268
 269 2001-10-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 270
 271         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 272         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 273         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 274
 275         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,

 278           null.scm, optargs.scm, poe.scm, popen.scm, pretty-print.scm,

 281           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
 282           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 283           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 284           exporting bindings.
 285
 286 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 287
 288         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,

 292
 293         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 294         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 295         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 296         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 297
 298 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 299
 300         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
 301         %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,
 302         %%apropos-internal): Use module-define! instead of

 307         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.
 308
 309 2001-09-19  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>
 310
 311         * expect.scm: Commentary fix; nfc.
 312
 313         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
 314
 315 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 316
 317         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 318         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
 319
 320 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 321
 322         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 323         the `arglist' procedure property.
 324         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 325         present a more detailed argument list.
 326
 327         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 328
 329 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 330
 331         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
 332         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel

 336
 337         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
 338
 339         (feature?): Deprecated.
 340
 341         (id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags,
 342         eval-in-module, split-c-module-name,

 348         try-module-dynamic-link): Removed.

 354         functionality.
 355
 356         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
 357         needed to trick export.

 360
 361         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.

 376
 377         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
 378         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
 379
 380 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 381
 382         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

 400         value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
 401         next element is to be taken as the option arg.
 402
 403 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
 404
 405         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
 406         handle :use-syntax correctly.
 407
 408 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 409
 410         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
 411         compile-psyntax.scm.
 412
 413 2001-07-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 414
 415         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
 416         maintainer mode.  Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
 417         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
 418         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
 419         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.

 425         receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
 426
 427 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 428
 429         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 430         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
 431
 432 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 433
 434         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
 435         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
 436         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
 437         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
 438
 439         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 440         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
 441         since there aren't definitions for them.
 442
 443         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
 444         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
 445
 446 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 447
 448         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
 449         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
 450
 451 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 452
 453         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
 454         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
 455
 456 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 457
 458         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
 459         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
 460         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
 461
 462 2001-06-30  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 463
 464         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
 465
 466         * tags.scm: Removed file.
 467
 468 2001-06-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 469
 470         Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
 471         is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
 472
 473         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
 474         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
 475         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
 476         New.
 477
 478 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 479
 480         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
 481         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
 482
 483 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 484
 485         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
 486         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
 487
 488         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
 489         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
 490         evaluator trap options.)
 491
 492 2001-06-25  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 493
 494         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.
 495
 496 2001-06-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 497
 498         * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax): New.

 501
 502         * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
 503
 504 2001-06-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 505
 506         * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
 507         `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
 508
 509 2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 510
 511         * match.scm:
 512         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
 513         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
 514         No longer require `pretty-print'.
 515
 516         (slib:error): Delete.
 517         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
 518
 519         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
 520
 521         * README: New file.
 522
 523         * common-list.scm:
 524         Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
 525         Add Commentary.
 526         Update copyright.
 527
 528 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 529
 530         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
 531         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
 532         rdelim) module.  See below.
 533
 534 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 535
 536         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
 537         include-deprecated-features is true.
 538
 539 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 540
 541         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
 542         unknown objects.
 543
 544         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
 545         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
 546         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 547
 548         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
 549         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
 550         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
 551         Köppe!
 552
 553 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 554
 555         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
 556         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
 557         variable, not just a visible one.
 558         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
 559         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
 560         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
 561         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
 562         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
 563         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
 564         variables.
 565         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
 566
 567         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
 568         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
 569
 570 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 571
 572         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
 573         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
 574
 575 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 576
 577         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
 578
 579 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 580
 581         Added exception notice to all files.
 582
 583         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
 584         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
 585         importing bindings once in a while.
 586
 587 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 588
 589         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
 590         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
 591         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 592         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
 593         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 594         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 595         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 596         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
 597         message.
 598         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
 599         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
 600
 601 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 602
 603         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
 604         fix command so that it works.
 605
 606         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
 607         to access unbound variables.
 608
 609         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
 610         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
 611         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
 612         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
 613         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
 614
 615 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 616
 617         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
 618         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
 619         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
 620         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
 621         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
 622         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
 623         argument for process-define-module.
 624         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
 625         arguments for process-use-modules.
 626         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
 627
 628 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 629
 630         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
 631         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
 632         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
 633         module.
 634
 635         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
 636         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
 637         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
 638
 639         * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.
 640
 641 2001-05-23  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 642
 643         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
 644         to feature lists.
 645         (cond-expand): Use feature information associated with modules.
 646
 647 2001-05-21  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 648
 649         * boot-9.scm (use-srfis): Do not extend the srfi-0 feature list.
 650         (cond-expand-provide): New procedure.
 651
 652 2001-05-22  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 653
 654         * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
 655         (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when
 656         getting the syntax transformer.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 657
 658 2001-05-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 659
 660         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
 661         deprecated features have been removed.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
 662
 663         * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
 664         `display'.
 665
 666 2001-05-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 667
 668         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
 669         * match.scm: Likewise.
 670         * expect.scm: Likewise.
 671         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 672
 673         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
 674
 675         * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
 676
 677         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
 678         set-current-module.
 679         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
 680         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
 681         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
 682         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
 683         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
 684         element list when adding "." to it.
 685         (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
 686         dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
 687
 688 2001-05-18  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 689
 690         * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
 691         cleanup; nfc.
 692         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
 693         now accepts arg; update callers.
 694         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
 695         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
 696
 697         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
 698         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
 699         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
 700         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
 701         `search-documentation-files'.
 702         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
 703         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.
 704         (help-usage): Mention support for "(help 'NAME)".
 705
 706         * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
 707         Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.
 708
 709         (find-documentation): Delete.
 710         (search-documentation-files): New proc, exported.
 711         (object-documentation): Use `search-documentation-files'.
 712
 713 2001-05-15  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 714
 715         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
 716         so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.
 717         (use-srfis): New procedure.
 718
 719 2001-05-15  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 720
 721         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Signal error now also if
 722         used module's public interface is not available.
 723         No longer call `beautify-user-module!'.
 724         Signal error now also if selected binding not found.
 725
 726 2001-05-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 727
 728         Merge from mvo-vcell-clenaup-1-branch.
 729
 730         * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
 731         the module obarray.
 732         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
 733
 734         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
 735         the magical undefined value.
 736         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
 737         the default default for bindings.
 738
 739         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
 740         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 741         (root-module-closure): Removed.
 742         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 743         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.
 744         (scm-module-closure): Removed.
 745         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 746         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.  Set the
 747         eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
 748         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
 749         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 750         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
 751         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
 752         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
 753         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
 754         `set-current-module' call.
 755         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
 756         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.
 757
 758         * debug.scm: Use `module-set!' instead of `variable-set!' to set
 759         insert `debug-options' into the-root-module.
 760         * format.scm: Likewise, for `format'.

 762 2001-05-15  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 763
 764         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-repl): Call the E
 765         ("eval'er") procedure via call-with-values and call the P
 766         ("printer") for each produced value.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 767
 768 2001-05-14  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

1100

1110         in C for now.
1111         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
1112         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
1113
1114 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1115
1116         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).

1127         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1128         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1129         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1130         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1131         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1132         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1133         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.

1155
1156         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
1157         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
1158         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm

1170 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1171
1172         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1173         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1174         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1175         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1176         scm-style-repl.
1177
1178 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

1181         and open-output-pipe.
1182
1183 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1184
1185         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1186         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1187         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1188         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1189         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1190         Pirotte for the bug report).
1191         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1192         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

1194 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1195
1196         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.

1215
1216         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1217         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1218         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1219
1220         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a

1222         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1223         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1224         actual documentation entries themselves.

1255         `symbol-append'.
1256         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1257         args.
1258         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1259         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1260         even worked...  /mdj.
1261         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1262         `symbol->string'.
1263         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1264         semantics.

1291         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1292         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1293         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1294         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1295         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)

1297         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1298
1299 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1300
1301         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
1302         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1303
1304         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1305         syntactic bindings.
1306
1307         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1308         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1309         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
1310         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1311

1320         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1321
1322 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1323
1324         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1325         definition of module-type.
1326
1327         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1328

1330
1331         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1332         lines.

1335

1346 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1347

1349         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1350
1351 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1352
1353         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1354         for export args.
1355
1356 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1357
1358         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
1359
1360 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1361
1362         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,

1364         for the hint.
1365
1366         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
1367         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
1368         tail recursive yet.
1369
1370 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1371
1372         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1373         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1374
1375         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.

1377         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1378         See NEWS.
1379         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.

1389
1390         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1391         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.

1397
1398 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

1404         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1405
1406 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1407
1408         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1409         '() instead of #f.
1410         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1411         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1412         `the-root-module'.
1413         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1414
1415         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with

1419         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1420         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1421         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1422         (help): Rewritten.
1423
1424         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1425
1426         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1427
1428 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

1436
1437         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1438         `proc-documentation'
1439
1440         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
1441         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1442         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1443         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1444         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1445         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1446         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1447         getter...)

1456         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
1457         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1458         closure.
1459
1460 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1461
1462         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
1463         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1464         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
1465         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
1466         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1467         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1468         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1469
1470 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1471
1472         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
1473         accept complex numbers as parameter.
1474

1479
1480 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1481
1482         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1483         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1484         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1485         instead of remove-if when iterating.
1486         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1487         delete-if! when iterating.

1497 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1498
1499         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1500         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
1501         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1502         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1503
1504 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1505
1506         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from

1511         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
1512         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1513         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
1514         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
1515
1516 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1517
1518         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1519         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1520
1521 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1522
1523         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1524         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1525
1526 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1527
1528         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1529         Dirk Hermann!
1530
1531 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1532
1533         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1534         source of the numerous very short changes.
1535
1536 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1537
1538         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1539         public.
1540
1541         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1542         info pages.
1543
1544 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1545
1546         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1547         from slib docs.
1548
1549 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1550
1551         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1552         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1553
1554 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1555
1556         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1557         to string-append.
1558
1559 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1560
1561         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1562         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
1563         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1564
1565 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1566
1567         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1568         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1569         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
1570         Narazaki for this change.
1571
1572 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1573
1574         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1575         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1576         %S.
1577
1578         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1579         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1580
1581 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1582
1583         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1584         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1585
1586 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1587
1588         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1589         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1590         use define-public to export from the module.
1591
1592 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1593
1594         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1595         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1596         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1597
1598 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1599
1600         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1601
1602 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1603
1604         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1605         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1606
1607 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1608
1609         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1610
1611         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1612
1613         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1614
1615 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1616
1617         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1618         long_long uniform vectors.
1619
1620 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1621
1622         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1623         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
1624
1625 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1626
1627         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
1628         script to create generated files like this one.
1629
1630 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1631
1632         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1633         available before using getpw and getuid.
1634         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1635         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1636         check for stat.
1637         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1638         check for .guile, instead of stat.
1639         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1640         available.
1641         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
1642         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1643         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1644
1645         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
1646         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1647
1648         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1649
1650 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1651
1652         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
1653         than 'exit-debugger.
1654
1655         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1656         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1657
1658         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1659
1660 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1661
1662         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
1663         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1664         ("position"): New command.
1665         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1666         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.

1669         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
1670
1671 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1672
1673         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1674         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
1675         Badros.)
1676
1677 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1678
1679         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1680         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1681
1682 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1683
1684         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
1685
1686         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.

1699
1700         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1701         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1702
1703         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1704
1705 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1706
1707         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1708         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1709         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1710         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1711
1712         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1713         argument.
1714
1715         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1716         both forward and backward views of the stack
1717         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1718         Use selector `frame-number';
1719         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1720         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1721         Use (ice-9 debug).
1722         Use readline conditionally.
1723
1724 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1725
1726         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1727         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1728         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1729
1730         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1731         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
1732         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
1733
1734 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1735
1736         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1737
1738         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1739
1740         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1741
1742         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1743
1744 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1745
1746         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1747         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
1748         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
1749         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1750         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1751         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1752         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1753         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1754         libguile-config-stamp.
1755         * version.scm.in: Delete.
1756         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1757         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1758         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1759         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1760
1761 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1762
1763         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1764         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1765         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1766
1767         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1768         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1769         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1770         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
1771         readline.
1772
1773         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1774
1775 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1776
1777         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1778
1779 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1780
1781         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1782         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1783
1784 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1785
1786         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1787         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1788         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1789         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1790         objects starting with '#/'.
1791
1792 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1793
1794         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1795         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1796         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1797         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1798         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1799         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1800         `observer-id'.
1801         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1802         module-modified): New procedures.
1803         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1804         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1805
1806 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1807
1808         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1809         defines.
1810
1811 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1812
1813         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1814         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1815         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1816
1817         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1818         position.
1819
1820 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1821
1822         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1823         at multiple calls to read.
1824         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1825         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1826         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1827         continued-lines prompt.
1828
1829         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1830         reading expressions.
1831
1832 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1833
1834         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1835         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1836
1837 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1838
1839         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1840         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
1841         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1842
1843         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1844
1845         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1846         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1847
1848         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1849         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
1850         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1851         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1852         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1853         instead of a port.
1854
1855 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1856
1857         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1858         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1859
1860         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1861
1862         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
1863         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
1864         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1865         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1866
1867         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1868
1869         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1870
1871         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
1872         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1873         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
1874         an alist.
1875
1876         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1877
1878         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1879         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1880         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1881         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1882         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1883         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1884         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1885         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1886         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1887         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1888         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
1889
1890         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1891
1892         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1893         peeked from the stream.
1894         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1895         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1896         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1897
1898         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1899
1900         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1901         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1902
1903         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1904
1905         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1906         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
1907         exiting repl with single control-D.
1908
1909         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1910
1911         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1912         error catching loop after quit received.
1913         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1914
1915         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1916         primitive exit if non-interactive.
1917         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1918
1919         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1920         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1921         boot-9.scm.
1922         * popen.scm: new file.
1923
1924 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1925
1926        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
1927        (reverse-iota):  removed.
1928
1929 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1930
1931         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1932         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1933
1934 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1935
1936         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1937         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1938         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1939         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1940         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1941
1942 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1943
1944         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1945
1946         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1947         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1948
1949         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1950         Guile's module system.
1951
1952         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1953         changes:
1954         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1955         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1956         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1957         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
1958         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1959         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1960         modern CL behavior.
1961         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1962         '() when the condition is false.
1963
1964 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1965
1966         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1967
1968 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1969
1970         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1971
1972 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1973
1974         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1975         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1976         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1977
1978 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1979
1980         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1981         argument order for hash-fold.
1982
1983 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1984
1985         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
1986         resolve-module.
1987         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1988         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1989
1990         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1991         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1992         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1993         has been added to the load path).
1994
1995         Use try-load-module.
1996
1997 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1998
1999         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
2000         module between system and user state.
2001
2002 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2003
2004         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2005
2006         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2007         definition.
2008
2009 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2010
2011         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2012         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2013         system can create a wrapper class for it.
2014
2015 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2016
2017         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2018         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
2019         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2020         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2021         stack frame encountered.
2022
2023         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2024         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2025         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2026         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2027         list).]
2028
2029         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2030         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2031         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2032         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2033         please tell me!]
2034
2035         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2036         define-module switches:
2037
2038         (define-module (foo)
2039           :no-backtrace)
2040
2041         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2042         modules.
2043
2044         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2045         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2046         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2047         module it is a system frame.
2048
2049         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2050         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2051         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2052         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2053         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2054
2055         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2056         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
2057         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2058         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2059         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
2060         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2061
2062         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2063         status of a module.;
2064         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2065         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2066
2067         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2068         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2069         closure to the module.
2070
2071         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2072
2073 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2074
2075         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
2076
2077 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2078
2079         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
2080
2081 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2082
2083         Fix from Russ McManus:
2084         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2085         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2086         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2087         either an optional or required value.
2088
2089 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2090
2091         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2092
2093         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2094         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2095
2096         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2097         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2098         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2099         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2100
2101 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2102
2103         * optargs.scm: New file.
2104         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2105         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2106
2107 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2108
2109         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2110         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2111         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2112
2113 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2114
2115         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2116         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2117         for isn't loaded.
2118
2119 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2120
2121         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2122
2123 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2124
2125         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2126         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2127         applied to the module itself.
2128
2129 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2130
2131         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2132
2133         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2134         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2135
2136 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2137
2138         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2139
2140 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2141
2142         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2143
2144 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2145
2146         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2147         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2148
2149 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2150
2151         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2152         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2153         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2154         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2155         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2156         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2157         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2158
2159 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2160
2161         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2162         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2163
2164 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2165
2166         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2167         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2168         static libraries.
2169
2170 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2171
2172         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2173
2174 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2175
2176         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2177
2178 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2179
2180         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2181         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2182         adapt to the new hooks.
2183
2184 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2185
2186         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2187         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2188         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2189         code.
2190         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2191         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2192
2193         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2194         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2195         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2196         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2197         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2198         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2199         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2200         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2201         first to register linked modules.
2202
2203         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2204         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2205         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2206
2207         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2208         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2209         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2210         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2211
2212         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2213         to use from C:
2214         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2215         libguile/feature.c.
2216
2217         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2218         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2219         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.

2223         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2224         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2225         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2226
2227 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2228
2229         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2230         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2231         result of the last form.
2232
2233 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2234
2235         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2236         syncase.scm.
2237
2238         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2239
2240         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2241         readline-set!: New options interface.
2242
2243         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2244
2245 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2246
2247         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2248         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2249
2250 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2251
2252         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2253         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2254
2255 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2256
2257         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2258         interactive session.
2259         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2260
2261         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2262         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2263
2264 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2265
2266         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2267
2268 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2269
2270         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2271         read line was empty.
2272
2273 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2274
2275         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2276         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2277
2278         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2279
2280         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2281         problem.  Duh.
2282         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2283         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2284         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2285
2286         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2287         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2288         into...
2289         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2290         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2291         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2292
2293         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2294         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2295         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2296         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2297         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2298         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2299         psyntax.ss.
2300         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2301
2302         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2303         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2304
2305 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2306
2307         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2308         and short vectors #h(...).
2309
2310 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2311
2312         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2313         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2314         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2315
2316 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2317
2318         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2319         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2320         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2321
2322 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2323
2324         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2325         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2326
2327         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2328         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2329         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2330         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2331
2332 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2333
2334         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2335         trace flag.
2336
2337         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2338         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2339         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2340         context with traps enabled.
2341
2342 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2343
2344         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2345         module.
2346         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2347
2348 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2349
2350         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2351         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2352         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2353         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2354         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2355
2356 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2357
2358         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2359         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2360
2361 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2362
2363         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2364
2365 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2366
2367         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2368
2369 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2370
2371         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2372
2373 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2374
2375         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2376         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2377
2378 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2379
2380         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2381         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2382         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2383         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
2384         Archibald.)
2385
2386         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2387         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2388         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2389
2390 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2391
2392         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2393         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2394         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2395         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
2396         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2397         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2398         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2399
2400 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2401
2402         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2403
2404 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2405
2406         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2407         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2408         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
2409         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2410         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2411         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2412
2413 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2414
2415         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2416         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2417         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
2418         Steven G. Johnson.)
2419
2420 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2421
2422         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2423
2424 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2425
2426         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2427
2428 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2429
2430         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2431         be completed.
2432
2433 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2434
2435         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2436
2437 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2438
2439         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2440         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2441
2442 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2443
2444         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2445         similar in use to `use-modules'.
2446         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2447         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2448         transformer.
2449         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2450         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2451
2452 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2453
2454         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2455
2456 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2457
2458         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2459         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2460         completion.
2461
2462         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2463         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2464
2465         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2466         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2467         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2468
2469         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2470
2471 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2472
2473         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2474
2475         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2476         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2477
2478 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2479
2480         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2481
2482 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2483
2484         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
2485         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2486
2487         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2488
2489         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
2490         obsolete.
2491
2492 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2493
2494         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2495         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2496
2497 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2498
2499         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2500
2501 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2502
2503         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
2504         Stachowiak.)
2505
2506 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2507
2508         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2509         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
2510         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2511         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2512         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2513         threads.
2514
2515 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2516
2517         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2518         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2519         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2520
2521 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2522
2523         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2524
2525         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2526         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2527
2528 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2529
2530         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2531         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2532         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2533         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2534         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
2535         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2536         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2537         to go here.
2538
2539 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2540
2541         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2542         is now a fluid.
2543
2544 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2545
2546         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2547         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2548         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
2549         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
2550         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2551         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2552
2553 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2554
2555         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2556         usefully so they will work from a script.
2557
2558 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2559
2560         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2561         neighborhood of the record code.
2562
2563 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2564
2565         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
2566         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2567         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2568         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2569
2570 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2571
2572         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2573         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2574         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2575

2578         Add support for readline function.
2579         * readline.scm: New module.
2580         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2581         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2582         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2583         anything.
2584         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2585         repl-reader to use them.
2586         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2587
2588         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2589

2605         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2606         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.

2633
2634         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2635         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2636         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2637         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2638         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2639         boot-9.scm.
2640         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2641         distribution and installation.
2642         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2649
2650         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2651         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
2652         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2653
2654         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2655         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2656         symbol.
2657
2658 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2667         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2668         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2669         field a separate argument.
2670
2671         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.

2687         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2688         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2689         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2690         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2691         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
2692         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2693         registered.
2694         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2695         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2696         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2697         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2698         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically

2711
2712         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2713
2714         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2715         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2716         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
2717         expansion inside the slib module.
2718
2719         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

2728
2729         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2730         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2731         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2732         source.
2733         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2734         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2735         been loaded.
2736
2737 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

2747         mutator for module-associated transformer.

2749         `scm:eval-transformer'.
2750         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
2751         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
2752         module.
2753         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
2754
2755 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2756
2757         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2758
2759         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2760         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2761         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2762         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2763         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.

2765         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2766         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as

2768         syncase macros.
2769         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2770         the syncase interface.

2773
2774         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2775         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2776         workings of the current module system).
2777
2778 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2779
2780         * psyntax.ss: Updated.

2791
2792         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2793         according to the following priorities:
2794         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2795         2. bindings from the-scm-module
2796         3. tcl bindings
2797         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2798         disabling the scheme interpreter.
2799         (new-interpreter): New function.
2800
2801         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2802         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2803         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

2820
2821         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2822         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
2823         source!
2824

2835
2836         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2837         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2838         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2839         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2840         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2841         result protocol;

2856
2857         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2858         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2859         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2860
2861         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.

2878
2879         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2880         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2881         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2882
2883         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2884         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2885         the top.

2906
2907         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2908         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call

2919         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
2920         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
2921         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
2922         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
2923
2924 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2925
2926         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
2927         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
2928         a default of /.
2929
2930         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
2931
2932 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2933
2934         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
2935         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
2936         notation, instead of #/ notation.
2937
2938         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
2939         make-regexp.
2940
2941 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2942
2943         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2944         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2945         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
2946         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2947         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2948         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2949
2950         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2951         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2952         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2953         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2954
2955 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2956
2957         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2958         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
2959         sending in bug reports.
2960         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2961         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2962         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2963         display a warning if the two are different.
2964         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2965         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2966         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2967
2968 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2969
2970         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
2971
2972 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2973
2974         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2975         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2976
2977         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2978         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2979         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2980         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2981         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2982         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2983         that's okay.
2984
2985         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
2986         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2987         regexp interface.
2988
2989         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2990         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
2991
2992         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2993         function names.
2994
2995         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2996         fixes.
2997
2998 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2999
3000         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3001         ../configure.in.
3002
3003 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3004
3005         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3006         vtable and not the one of the struct.
3007
3008 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3009
3010         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3011         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3012         to support printing of structures.
3013         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3014         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
3015         commented out printing code.
3016         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3017         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
3018
3019 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3020
3021         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3022
3023 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3024
3025         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3026         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3027         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3028         during call to scm-style-repl.
3029
3030 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3031
3032         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3033         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3034         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3035         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3036         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3037
3038 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3039
3040         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3041         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3042         (ice-9 regex).
3043
3044 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3045
3046         * regex.scm: New file.
3047         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3048         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3049
3050 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3051
3052         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

3060         in 1997.
3061
3062 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3063
3064         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3065         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3066         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3067
3068 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3069
3070         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3071         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3072         here.
3073
3074 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3075
3076         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3077
3078 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3079
3080         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

3082 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3083
3084         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3085         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3086         fixes this too.
3087
3088 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3089
3090         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3091         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3092         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3093
3094 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3095
3096         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3097         the Scheme code like code yet.
3098         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3099
3100 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3101
3102         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3103         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3104         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3105
3106 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3107
3108         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3109         use-modules macro
3110         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3111         can't be found.
3112
3113 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3114
3115         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3116
3117 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3118
3119         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3120
3121         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3122         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3123         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3124
3125 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3126

3131         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3132         no plugins.
3133         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3134         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

3142
3143         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
3144
3145 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3146
3147         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3148         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).

3151
3152         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3153         instead of in libguile.
3154         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3155         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3156
3157 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3158
3159         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3160         procedures.

3164 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3165
3166         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3167         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3168
3169 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3170
3171         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3172         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3173         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3174         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3175
3176 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3177
3178         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3179         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3180

3182
3183         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.

3186
3187         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3188         keywords and symbols.
3189
3190 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3191
3192         * slib.scm: update read usage.

3198         (read-sharp): removed.

3201
3202 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3210         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.

3213
3214         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3215
3216 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3217
3218         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3219
3220 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3221
3222         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3223         read gets EOF.
3224         * (exit): alias for quit.
3225
3226 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3227
3228         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3229         return the quit args.
3230         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3231         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3232         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3233
3234         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3235
3236 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3237
3238         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3239
3240         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3241         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3242
3243         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3244         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3245
3246         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3247         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3248         of handlers.
3249
3250 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3256         Change hooks to use these functions.
3257
3258         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3259         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3260         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3261         the source! :-)
3262         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3263         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3264         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3265         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3266         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3267         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3268         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3269         traced.
3270
3271         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3272         and exit-frame exceptions.
3273
3274         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3275         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3276         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3277         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3278         result; otherwise display "> ".
3279         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3280
3281         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3282         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3283         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3284         repository version runnable.
3285
3286 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3287
3288         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3289         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3290         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3291         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3292         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3293         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3294
3295 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3296
3297         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3298         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3299         and eval.
3300         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3301         "defined?".
3302         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3303         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3304
3305 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3306
3307         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3308
3309 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3310
3311         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3312         %read-sharp layer.
3313
3314 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3315
3316         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3317         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3318
3319 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3320
3321         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3322         backtrace.c.)
3323
3324 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3325
3326         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3327         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3328
3329 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3330
3331         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3332
3333         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3334         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3335         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3336         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3337         dynamic linking of modules.
3338         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3339         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3340
3341 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3342
3343         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3344
3345 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3346
3347         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3348         that's what it is.
3349
3350         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3351         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3352         was false.
3353
3354 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3355
3356         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3357         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3358         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3359
3360 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3361
3362         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3363         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
3364         yet.
3365
3366 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3367
3368         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3369         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3370         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3371
3372 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3373
3374         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3375         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3376         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3377         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3378
3379         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3380         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3381         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3382         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3383         (such as the-scm-module).
3384
3385 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3386
3387         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3388         %search-load-path.
3389
3390 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
3391
3392         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3393         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3394         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3395
3396 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3397
3398         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3399         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3400         function, use it accordingly.
3401
3402 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3403
3404         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
3405         function of no arguments.
3406         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3407         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3408         set-current-module): Uses changed.
3409         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3410         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3411         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3412         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3413         *top-level-eval-closure*.
3414
3415 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3416
3417         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3418         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3419
3420 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3421
3422         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3423         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3424         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
3425         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
3426         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3427
3428         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3429         `*features*'.
3430
3431         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3432         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
3433         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3434         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3435
3436         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3437
3438         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3439
3440         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3441         If the user wants to see this, he can do
3442         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3443
3444         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3445         error.
3446
3447         Added `before-read-hook'.
3448
3449         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3450
3451         (provide): New function.
3452
3453         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3454         in backtraces.
3455
3456         (backtrace): New function.
3457
3458         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3459         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3460         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
3461         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3462         is found in operator position in a frame.
3463
3464         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3465         by default.
3466
3467         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3468         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3469         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3470
3471         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
3472
3473         (library-vicinity): Updated.
3474
3475         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3476
3477         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3478
3479 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3480
3481         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3482
3483         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3484         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
3485
3486         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3487         so they'll get distributed.
3488
3489         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
3490         should see as little clutter as possible.
3491         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3492         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3493         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3494
3495         * r4rs.scm: New file.
3496         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3497         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3498         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3499         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3500         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3501         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3502         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3503         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3504         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3505         that are not.
3506         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3507         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3508
3509         * test.scm: New file.
3510
3511         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3512         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
3513         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3514
3515         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3516         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3517
3518         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3519         work now.
3520         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
3521         call %load-announce.
3522
3523 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3524
3525         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3526         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3527         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3528         components.
3529         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3530
3531 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3532
3533         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3534         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3535         SCSH (which this isn't).
3536
3537 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3538
3539         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3540
3541 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3542
3543         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3544         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3545         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3546         these.
3547         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
3548         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
3549         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3550         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3551         save-stack.
3552
3553 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3554
3555         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3556
3557         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3558
3559         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3560         error-catching-loop.
3561         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3562         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3563         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3564
3565         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3566         error-catching-loop.
3567
3568 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3569
3570         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3571         (make-module): Rework for readability.
3572         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3573         should be '(), not #f.
3574
3575         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3576         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3577
3578 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3579
3580         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3581         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3582         error-signal.
3583
3584 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3585
3586         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3587         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3588         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3589         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3590
3591 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3592
3593         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3594
3595 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3596
3597         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3598
3599         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3600         throw-handler-default.
3601         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3602         reported.
3603         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3604         acro.
3605         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3606         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.

3608 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3609
3610         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3611         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3612         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3613         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3614
3615 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3616
3617         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3618         Append "." to the default %load-path.
3619         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3620         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3621         ...))
3622         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3623         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3624         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3625         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3626         file-is-directory?
3627
3628 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3629
3630         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3631
3632         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3633         distribution.
3634
3635         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3636         `switch-repl'.
3637
3638         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3639
3640 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3641
3642         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3643         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3644
3645 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3646
3647         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3648
3649         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3650
3651 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3652
3653         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
3654         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3655         Don't set up 'error as a key.
3656         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3657         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3658
3659         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3660         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3661         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3662         they seem redundant.
3663         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3664         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
3665         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3666         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
3667         directly files starting with "/").
3668         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3669         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3670
3671         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3672
3673 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3674
3675         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3676         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3677         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
3678         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3679         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3680         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3681         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
3682         robust to just do it in the C code.
3683
3684 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3685
3686         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
3687         %try-load itself was the primitive.
3688         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3689         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3690         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3691
3692 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3693
3694         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3695         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3696         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3697
3698 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3699
3700         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3701         system-error, not every kind of error.
3702         (scm-error): new procedure.
3703
3704 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3705
3706         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3707
3708 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3709
3710         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3711         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
3712         of args are supplied.
3713         (%%system-errors): removed.
3714         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3715         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3716         %%handle-system-error.
3717         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3718         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3719         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3720         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3721
3722 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3723
3724         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3725         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3726         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3727         %S (embed an argument using "write").
3728
3729 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3730
3731         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3732         the empty list if they are #f.
3733         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3734
3735 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3736
3737         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3738
3739         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3740         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3741         aborting, just the key and subr.
3742         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3743         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3744         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
3745
3746 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3747
3748         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3749         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
3750         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3751         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3752         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
3753
3754 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3755
3756         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
3757         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
3758         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
3759         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
3760
3761 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3762
3763         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
3764         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
3765         initialize %load-path.
3766
3767         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3768         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
3769
3770 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3771
3772         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3773         Add the directory named after the version number.
3774         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
3775         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
3776         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
3777         sitedatadir): New definitions.
3778         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

3783 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3784
3785         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3786         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3787         in the Makefile directly.
3788         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3789         for these.
3790         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
3791         aux_files.

3793         here, where people expect to find them.

3803
3804         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
3805         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)

3822         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
3823         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

3828         (manifest): Deleted.
3829         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

3831
3832 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3833
3834         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
3835         now that they throw errors directly.

3837         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
3838
3839 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3840
