   7
   8 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
   9
  10         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
  11         sockaddr:port): new functions.
  12
  13 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  14
  15         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
  16         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
  17         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
  18         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
  19
  20 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  21
  22 *       * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
  23         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
  24
  25 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  26
  27         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
  28
  29 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  30
  31         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
  32         keywords and symbols.
  33
  34 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  35
  36         * slib.scm: update read usage.
  37
  38         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
  39         Don't define read-sharp.
  40
  41         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
  42         (read-sharp): removed.
  43         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
  44         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
  45
  46 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  47
  48         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
  49
  50         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
  51         primitive procedure.)
  52
  53         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
  54         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
  55
  56 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  57
  58         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
  59
  60 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  61
  62         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
  63
  64 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  65
  66         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
  67         read gets EOF.
  68         * (exit): alias for quit.
  69
  70 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  71
  72         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
  73         return the quit args.
  74         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
  75         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
  76         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
  77
  78         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
  79
  80 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  81
  82         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
  83
  84         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
  85         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
  86
  87         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
  88         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
  89
  90         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
  91         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
  92         of handlers.
  93
  94 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  95
  96         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
  97
  98         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
  99         (add-hooks!): New macro.
 100         Change hooks to use these functions.
 101
 102 *       * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
 103         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
 104         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
 105         the source! :-)
 106         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
 107         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
 108         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
 109         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
 110         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
 111         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
 112         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
 113         traced.
 114
 115         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
 116         and exit-frame exceptions.
 117
 118 *       * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
 119         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
 120         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
 121         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
 122         result; otherwise display "> ".
 123         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
 124
 125         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
 126         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
 127         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
 128         repository version runnable.
 129
 130 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 131
 132         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
 133         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
 134         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
 135         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
 136         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
 137         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
 138
 139 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 140
 141         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
 142         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
 143         and eval.
 144         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
 145         "defined?".
 146         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
 147         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
 148
 149 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 150
 151         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
 152
 153 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 154
 155         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
 156         %read-sharp layer.
 157
 158 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 159
 160         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
 161         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
 162
 163 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 164
 165         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
 166         backtrace.c.)
 167
 168 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 169
 170         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
 171         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
 172
 173 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 174
 175         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
 176
 177         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 178         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
 179         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
 180         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
 181         dynamic linking of modules.
 182         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
 183         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
 184
 185 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 186
 187         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
 188
 189 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 190
 191         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
 192         that's what it is.
 193
 194         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
 195         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
 196         was false.
 197
 198 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 199
 200 *       * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
 201         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
 202         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
 203
 204 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 205
 206         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
 207         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
 208         yet.
 209
 210 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 211
 212         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
 213         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
 214         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
 215
 216 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 217
 218         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
 219         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
 220         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
 221         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
 222
 223         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
 224         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
 225         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
 226         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
 227         (such as the-scm-module).
 228
 229 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 230
 231         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
 232         %search-load-path.
 233
 234 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
 235
 236         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
 237         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
 238         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
 239
 240 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 241
 242         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
 243         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
 244         function, use it accordingly.
 245
 246 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 247
 248         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
 249         function of no arguments.
 250         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
 251         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
 252         set-current-module): Uses changed.
 253         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
 254         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
 255         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
 256         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
 257         *top-level-eval-closure*.
 258
 259 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 260
 261         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
 262         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
 263
 264 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 265
 266         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
 267         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
 268         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
 269         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
 270         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
 271
 272         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
 273         `*features*'.
 274
 275         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
 276         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
 277         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
 278         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
 279
 280         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
 281
 282         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
 283
 284         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
 285         If the user wants to see this, he can do
 286         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
 287
 288         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
 289         error.
 290
 291         Added `before-read-hook'.
 292
 293         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
 294
 295         (provide): New function.
 296
 297         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
 298         in backtraces.
 299
 300         (backtrace): New function.
 301
 302         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
 303         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
 304         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
 305         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
 306         is found in operator position in a frame.
 307
 308         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
 309         by default.
 310
 311         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
 312         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
 313         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
 314
 315         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
 316
 317         (library-vicinity): Updated.
 318
 319         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
 320
 321         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
 322
 323 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 324
 325         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
 326
 327         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
 328         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
 329
 330         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
 331         so they'll get distributed.
 332
 333         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
 334         should see as little clutter as possible.
 335         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
 336         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
 337         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
 338
 339         * r4rs.scm: New file.
 340         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
 341         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
 342         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
 343         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
 344         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
 345         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
 346         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
 347         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
 348         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
 349         that are not.
 350         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
 351         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
 352
 353         * test.scm: New file.
 354
 355         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
 356         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
 357         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
 358
 359         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
 360         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
 361
 362         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
 363         work now.
 364         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
 365         call %load-announce.
 366
 367 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 368
 369         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
 370         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
 371         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
 372         components.
 373         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
 374
 375 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 376
 377         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
 378         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
 379         SCSH (which this isn't).

 381 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 382
 383         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
 384
 385 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 386
 387         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
 388         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
 389         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
 390         these.
 391         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
 392         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
 393         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
 394         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
 395         save-stack.
 396
 397 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 398
 399         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
 400
 401         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
 402
 403         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
 404         error-catching-loop.
 405         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
 406         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
 407         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
 408
 409         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
 410         error-catching-loop.
 411
 412 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 413
 414         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
 415         (make-module): Rework for readability.
 416         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
 417         should be '(), not #f.
 418
 419         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
 420         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
 421
 422 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 423
 424         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
 425         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
 426         error-signal.
 427
 428 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 429
 430         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
 431         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
 432         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
 433         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
 434
 435 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 436
 437         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
 438
 439 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 440
 441         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
 442
 443         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
 444         throw-handler-default.
 445         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
 446         reported.
 447         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
 448         acro.
 449         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
 450         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
 451
 452 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 453
 454         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
 455         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
 456         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
 457         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
 458
 459 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 460
 461         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
 462         Append "." to the default %load-path.
 463         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
 464         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
 465         ...))
 466         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
 467         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
 468         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
 469         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
 470         file-is-directory?
 471
 472 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 473
 474         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
 475
 476         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
 477         distribution.
 478
 479         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
 480         `switch-repl'.
 481
 482         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
 483
 484 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 485
 486         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
 487         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
 488
 489 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 490
 491         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
 492
 493         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
 494
 495 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 496
 497         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
 498         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
 499         Don't set up 'error as a key.
 500         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
 501         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
 502
 503         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
 504         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
 505         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
 506         they seem redundant.
 507         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
 508         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
 509         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
 510         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
 511         directly files starting with "/").
 512         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
 513         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
 514
 515         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
 516
 517 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 518
 519         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
 520         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
 521         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
 522         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
 523         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
 524         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
 525         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
 526         robust to just do it in the C code.
 527
 528 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 529
 530         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
 531         %try-load itself was the primitive.
 532         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
 533         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
 534         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
 535
 536 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 537
 538         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
 539         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
 540         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
 541
 542 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 543
 544         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
 545         system-error, not every kind of error.
 546         (scm-error): new procedure.
 547
 548 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 549
 550         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
 551
 552 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 553
 554         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
 555         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
 556         of args are supplied.
 557         (%%system-errors): removed.
 558         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
 559         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
 560         %%handle-system-error.
 561         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
 562         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
 563         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
 564         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
 565
 566 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 567
 568         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
 569         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
 570         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
 571         %S (embed an argument using "write").
 572
 573 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 574
 575         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
 576         the empty list if they are #f.
 577         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
 578
 579 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 580
 581         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
 582
 583         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
 584         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
 585         aborting, just the key and subr.
 586         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
 587         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
 588         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
 589
 590 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 591
 592         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
 593         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
 594         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
 595         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
 596         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
 597
 598 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 599
 600         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
 601         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
 602         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
 603         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
 604
 605 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 606
 607         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
 608         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
 609         initialize %load-path.
 610
 611         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
 612         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
 613
 614 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
 615
 616         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
 617         Add the directory named after the version number.
 618         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
 619         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
 620         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
 621         sitedatadir): New definitions.
 622         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
 623         (install): Create the above directories.
 624         Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
 625         (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
 626
 627 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 628
 629         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
 630         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
 631         in the Makefile directly.
 632         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
 633         for these.
 634         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
 635         aux_files.
 636         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
 637         here, where people expect to find them.
 638
 639 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 640
 641         * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
 642         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
 643
 644         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
 645
 646 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 647
 648         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
 649         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)
 650
 651 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 652
 653         * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
 654         Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
 655

 661         * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
 662         (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes.  return
 663         the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
 664         (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
 665         (%open-file): removed.
 666         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
 667         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
 668
 669 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 670
 671         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
 672         (manifest): Deleted.
 673         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
 674         directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
 675
 676 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 677
 678         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
 679         now that they throw errors directly.
 680         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
 681         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
 682
 683 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 684
 685         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
 686
