1 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
3 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
6 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
9 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
11 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
14 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
16 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
17 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
19 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
21 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
24 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
26 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
27 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
28 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
30 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
32 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
33 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
34 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
35 Narazaki for this change.
37 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
39 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
40 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
43 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
44 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
46 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
48 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
49 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
51 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
53 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
54 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
55 use define-public to export from the module.
57 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
59 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
60 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
61 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
63 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
65 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
67 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
69 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
70 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
72 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
74 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
76 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
78 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
80 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
82 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
83 long_long uniform vectors.
85 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
87 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
88 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
90 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
92 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
93 script to create generated files like this one.
95 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
97 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
98 available before using getpw and getuid.
99 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
100 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
102 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
103 check for .guile, instead of stat.
104 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
106 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
107 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
108 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
110 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
111 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
113 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
115 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
117 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
120 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
121 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
123 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
125 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
127 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
128 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
129 ("position"): New command.
130 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
131 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
132 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
133 to return a valid state.)
134 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
136 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
138 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
139 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
142 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
144 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
145 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
147 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
149 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
151 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
153 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
154 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
156 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
157 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
158 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
160 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
163 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
165 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
166 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
168 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
170 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
172 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
173 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
174 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
175 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
177 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
180 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
181 both forward and backward views of the stack
182 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
183 Use selector `frame-number';
184 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
185 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
187 Use readline conditionally.
189 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
191 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
192 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
193 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
195 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
196 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
199 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
201 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
203 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
205 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
207 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
209 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
211 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
212 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
213 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
214 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
215 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
216 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
217 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
218 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
219 libguile-config-stamp.
220 * version.scm.in: Delete.
221 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
222 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
223 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
224 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
226 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
228 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
229 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
230 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
232 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
233 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
234 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
235 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
238 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
240 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
242 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
244 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
246 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
247 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
249 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
251 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
252 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
253 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
254 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
255 objects starting with '#/'.
257 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
259 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
260 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
261 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
262 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
263 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
264 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
266 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
267 module-modified): New procedures.
268 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
269 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
271 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
273 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
276 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
278 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
279 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
280 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
282 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
285 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
287 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
288 at multiple calls to read.
289 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
290 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
291 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
292 continued-lines prompt.
294 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
297 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
299 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
300 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
302 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
304 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
305 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
308 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
310 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
311 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
313 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
314 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
315 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
316 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
317 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
320 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
322 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
323 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
325 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
327 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
328 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
329 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
330 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
332 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
334 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
336 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
337 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
338 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
341 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
343 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
344 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
345 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
346 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
347 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
348 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
349 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
350 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
351 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
352 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
353 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
355 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
357 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
358 peeked from the stream.
359 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
360 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
361 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
363 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
365 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
366 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
368 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
370 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
371 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
372 exiting repl with single control-D.
374 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
376 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
377 error catching loop after quit received.
378 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
380 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
381 primitive exit if non-interactive.
382 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
384 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
385 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
387 * popen.scm: new file.
389 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
391 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
392 (reverse-iota): removed.
394 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
396 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
397 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
399 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
401 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
402 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
403 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
404 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
405 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
407 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
409 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
411 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
412 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
414 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
415 Guile's module system.
417 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
419 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
420 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
421 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
422 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
423 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
424 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
426 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
427 '() when the condition is false.
429 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
431 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
433 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
435 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
437 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
439 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
440 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
441 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
443 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
445 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
446 argument order for hash-fold.
448 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
450 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
452 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
453 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
455 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
456 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
457 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
458 has been added to the load path).
462 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
464 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
465 module between system and user state.
467 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
469 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
471 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
474 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
476 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
477 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
478 system can create a wrapper class for it.
480 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
482 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
483 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
484 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
485 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
486 stack frame encountered.
488 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
489 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
490 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
491 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
494 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
495 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
496 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
497 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
500 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
501 define-module switches:
506 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
509 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
510 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
511 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
512 module it is a system frame.
514 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
515 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
516 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
517 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
518 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
520 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
521 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
522 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
523 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
524 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
525 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
527 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
529 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
530 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
532 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
533 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
534 closure to the module.
536 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
538 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
540 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
542 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
544 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
546 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
548 Fix from Russ McManus:
549 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
550 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
551 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
552 either an optional or required value.
554 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
556 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
558 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
559 of the '() key, not `rest'.
561 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
562 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
563 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
564 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
566 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
568 * optargs.scm: New file.
569 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
570 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
572 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
574 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
575 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
576 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
578 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
580 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
581 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
584 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
586 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
588 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
590 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
591 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
592 applied to the module itself.
594 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
596 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
598 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
599 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
601 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
603 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
605 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
607 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
609 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
611 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
612 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
614 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
616 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
617 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
618 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
619 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
620 among BINDINGS is referenced.
621 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
622 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
624 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
626 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
627 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
629 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
631 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
632 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
635 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
637 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
639 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
641 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
643 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
645 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
646 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
647 adapt to the new hooks.
649 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
651 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
652 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
653 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
655 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
656 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
658 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
659 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
660 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
661 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
662 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
663 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
664 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
665 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
666 first to register linked modules.
668 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
669 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
670 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
672 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
673 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
674 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
675 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
677 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
679 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
682 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
683 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
684 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
686 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
688 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
689 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
690 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
692 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
694 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
695 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
696 result of the last form.
698 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
700 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
703 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
705 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
706 readline-set!: New options interface.
708 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
710 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
712 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
713 at the end of boot-9.scm.
715 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
717 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
718 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
720 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
722 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
724 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
726 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
727 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
729 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
731 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
733 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
735 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
738 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
740 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
741 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
743 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
745 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
747 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
748 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
749 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
751 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
752 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
754 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
755 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
756 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
758 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
759 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
760 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
761 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
762 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
763 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
765 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
767 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
768 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
770 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
772 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
773 and short vectors #h(...).
775 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
777 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
778 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
779 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
781 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
783 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
784 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
785 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
787 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
789 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
790 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
792 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
793 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
794 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
795 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
797 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
799 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
802 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
803 order to allow the empty list as arg.
804 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
805 context with traps enabled.
807 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
809 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
811 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
813 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
815 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
816 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
817 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
818 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
819 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
821 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
823 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
824 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
826 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
828 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
830 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
832 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
834 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
836 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
838 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
840 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
841 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
843 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
845 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
846 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
847 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
848 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
851 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
852 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
853 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
855 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
857 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
858 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
859 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
860 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
861 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
862 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
863 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
865 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
867 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
869 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
871 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
872 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
873 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
874 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
875 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
876 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
878 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
880 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
881 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
882 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
885 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
887 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
889 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
891 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
893 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
895 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
898 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
900 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
902 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
904 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
905 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
907 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
909 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
910 similar in use to `use-modules'.
911 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
912 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
914 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
915 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
917 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
919 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
921 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
923 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
924 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
927 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
928 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
930 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
931 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
932 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
934 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
936 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
938 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
940 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
941 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
943 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
945 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
947 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
949 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
950 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
952 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
954 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
957 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
959 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
960 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
962 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
964 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
966 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
968 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
971 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
973 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
974 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
975 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
976 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
977 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
980 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
982 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
983 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
984 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
986 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
988 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
990 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
991 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
993 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
995 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
996 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
997 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
998 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
999 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1000 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1001 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1004 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1006 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1009 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1011 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1012 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1013 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1014 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1015 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1016 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1018 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1020 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1021 usefully so they will work from a script.
1023 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1025 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1026 neighborhood of the record code.
1028 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1030 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1031 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1032 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1033 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1035 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1037 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1038 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1039 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1041 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1043 Add support for readline function.
1044 * readline.scm: New module.
1045 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1046 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1047 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1049 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1050 repl-reader to use them.
1051 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1053 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1055 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1057 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1058 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1060 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1062 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1063 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1064 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1066 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1068 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
1069 #f, abort terminates the process.
1070 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1071 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1073 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1075 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1076 print-state, throw it away.
1078 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1080 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1083 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1085 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1086 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1087 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1088 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1090 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1091 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1093 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1095 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1097 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1099 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1100 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1101 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1102 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1103 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1105 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1106 distribution and installation.

1113 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1115 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1116 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1117 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1119 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1120 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1123 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1125 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1127 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1129 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1131 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1132 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1133 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1134 field a separate argument.
1136 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1138 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1140 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1142 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

1153 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1154 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1155 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1156 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1157 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1159 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1160 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1161 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1162 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1163 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1166 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1168 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

1175 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1177 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1179 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1180 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1181 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1182 expansion inside the slib module.
1184 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1186 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1187 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

1192 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1194 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1195 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1196 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1198 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1199 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1202 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1204 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1205 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1207 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.

1222 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1224 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1225 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1226 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1227 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1228 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1230 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1231 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1232 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1234 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1235 the syncase interface.
1237 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1239 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1240 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1241 workings of the current module system).
1243 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1245 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1246 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

1251 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1252 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1253 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1255 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1257 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1258 according to the following priorities:
1259 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1260 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1262 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1263 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1264 (new-interpreter): New function.
1266 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1267 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1268 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1270 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1272 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1274 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1276 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".

1286 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1287 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the

1292 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1293 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

1298 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1301 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1302 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1303 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);

1305 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1307 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1308 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1310 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1312 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1313 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1315 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1316 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1318 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1320 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1322 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1323 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1324 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.

1328 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

1342 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1344 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1345 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1346 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1348 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1349 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1352 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1353 order to narrow it correctly.
1354 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

1361 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1363 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.

1367 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1368 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1370 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1372 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1373 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1374 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1376 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1378 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1381 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1383 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1384 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1385 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1386 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1387 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1389 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1391 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1392 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1395 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.

1408 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1409 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1410 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1411 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1412 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1413 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1415 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1416 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1417 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1418 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1420 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1422 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1423 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1424 sending in bug reports.
1425 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1426 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1427 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1428 display a warning if the two are different.
1429 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1430 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1431 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1439 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1440 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1442 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1443 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1444 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1445 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1446 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1447 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1450 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1451 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1454 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1455 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1457 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1460 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1463 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1468 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1470 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1471 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1473 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1475 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1476 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1477 to support printing of structures.
1478 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1479 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1480 commented out printing code.
1481 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1482 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".

1491 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1492 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1493 during call to scm-style-repl.
1495 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1497 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1498 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1499 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1500 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1501 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1503 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1505 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1506 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1509 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1511 * regex.scm: New file.
1512 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.

1518 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1519 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1520 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1522 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1524 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1527 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1529 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1530 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1531 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1533 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1535 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1536 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1539 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1541 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

1545 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1547 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1549 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1550 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1553 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1555 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1556 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1557 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1559 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1561 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1562 the Scheme code like code yet.
1563 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1565 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1567 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1568 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1569 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1571 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1573 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1575 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1578 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1580 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1582 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1584 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1586 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1587 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1588 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1590 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1592 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1593 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1594 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1596 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,

1613 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1615 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1617 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1618 instead of in libguile.
1619 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1620 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1622 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1624 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1626 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1627 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1629 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1631 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1632 sockaddr:port): new functions.
1634 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1636 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1637 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1638 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1639 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1641 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1643 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1644 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1646 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1648 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1650 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1652 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1653 keywords and symbols.
1655 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1657 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1659 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1660 Don't define read-sharp.
1662 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1663 (read-sharp): removed.
1664 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1665 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1667 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1669 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1671 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
1672 primitive procedure.)
1674 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1675 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1677 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1679 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1681 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1683 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1685 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1687 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1689 * (exit): alias for quit.
1691 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1693 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1694 return the quit args.
1695 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1696 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1697 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1699 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1701 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1703 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1705 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1706 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1708 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1709 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1711 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1712 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1715 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1717 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1719 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1720 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1721 Change hooks to use these functions.
1723 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1724 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1725 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1727 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1728 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1729 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1730 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1731 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1732 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1733 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1736 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1737 and exit-frame exceptions.
1739 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1740 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1741 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1742 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1743 result; otherwise display "> ".
1744 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1746 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1747 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1748 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1749 repository version runnable.
1751 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1753 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1754 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1755 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1756 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1757 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1758 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1760 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1762 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1763 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1765 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1767 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1768 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1770 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1772 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1774 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1776 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1779 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1781 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1782 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1784 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1786 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1789 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1791 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1792 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1794 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1796 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1798 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1799 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1800 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1801 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1802 dynamic linking of modules.
1803 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1804 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1806 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1808 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1810 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1812 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1815 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1816 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1819 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1821 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1822 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1823 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1825 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1827 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1828 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1831 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1833 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1834 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1835 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1837 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1839 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1840 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1841 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1842 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1844 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1845 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1846 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1847 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1848 (such as the-scm-module).
1850 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1852 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1855 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1857 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1858 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1859 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1861 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1863 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1864 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1865 function, use it accordingly.
1867 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1869 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1870 function of no arguments.
1871 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1872 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1873 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1874 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1875 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1876 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1877 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1878 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1880 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1882 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1883 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1885 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1887 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1888 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1889 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1890 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1891 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1893 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1896 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1897 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1898 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1899 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1901 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1903 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1905 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1906 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1907 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1909 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1912 Added `before-read-hook'.
1914 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1916 (provide): New function.
1918 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1921 (backtrace): New function.
1923 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1924 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1925 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1926 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1927 is found in operator position in a frame.
1929 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1932 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1933 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1934 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1936 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1938 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1940 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1942 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1944 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1946 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1948 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1949 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
1951 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1952 so they'll get distributed.
1954 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
1955 should see as little clutter as possible.
1956 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1957 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1958 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1960 * r4rs.scm: New file.
1961 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1962 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1963 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1964 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1965 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1966 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1967 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1968 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1969 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1971 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1972 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1974 * test.scm: New file.
1976 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1977 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
1978 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1980 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1981 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1983 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1985 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
1986 call %load-announce.
1988 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1990 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1991 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1992 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1994 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1996 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1998 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1999 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2000 SCSH (which this isn't).
2002 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2004 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2006 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2008 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2009 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2010 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2012 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2013 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2014 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2015 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2018 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2020 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2022 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2024 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2025 error-catching-loop.
2026 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2027 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2028 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2030 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2031 error-catching-loop.
2033 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2035 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2036 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2037 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2038 should be '(), not #f.
2040 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2041 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2043 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2045 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2046 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2049 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2051 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2052 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2053 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2054 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2056 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2058 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2060 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2062 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2064 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2065 throw-handler-default.
2066 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2068 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2070 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2071 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2073 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2075 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2076 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2077 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2078 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2080 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2082 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2083 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2084 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2085 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2087 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2088 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2089 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2090 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2093 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2095 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2097 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2100 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2103 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2105 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2107 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2108 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2110 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2112 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2114 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2116 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2118 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2119 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2120 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2121 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2122 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2124 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2125 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2126 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2127 they seem redundant.
2128 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2129 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2130 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2131 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2132 directly files starting with "/").
2133 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2134 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2136 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2138 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2140 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2141 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2142 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2143 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2144 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2145 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2146 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2147 robust to just do it in the C code.
2149 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2151 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2152 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2153 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2154 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2155 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2157 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2159 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2160 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2161 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2163 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2165 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2166 system-error, not every kind of error.
2167 (scm-error): new procedure.
2169 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2171 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2173 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2175 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2176 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2177 of args are supplied.
2178 (%%system-errors): removed.
2179 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2180 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2181 %%handle-system-error.
2182 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2183 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2184 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2185 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.

2189 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2190 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2191 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2192 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2194 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2196 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2197 the empty list if they are #f.
2198 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2200 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2202 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2204 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2205 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2206 aborting, just the key and subr.
2207 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2208 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2209 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2211 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2213 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2214 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2215 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2216 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2217 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2219 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2221 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2222 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2223 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2224 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2226 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2228 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2229 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2230 initialize %load-path.
2232 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2233 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2235 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2237 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2238 Add the directory named after the version number.
2239 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2240 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2241 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2242 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2243 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2244 (install): Create the above directories.
2245 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2246 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2248 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2250 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2251 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2252 in the Makefile directly.
2253 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2255 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2257 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2258 here, where people expect to find them.
2260 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2262 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2263 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2265 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2267 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2269 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2270 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2272 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2274 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2275 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2277 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2278 weak-key-hash-table.

2286 (%open-file): removed.
2287 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2288 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2290 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2292 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2293 (manifest): Deleted.
2294 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2295 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2297 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2299 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2300 now that they throw errors directly.
2301 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2302 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2304 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
