ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 2003-01-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
   2
   3         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Removed.  Guile now provides this
   4         operator as a primitive procedure.
   5         (build-data): Quote vectors (psyntax.ss requires this).
   6
   7 2003-01-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
   8
   9         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Allow procedures implanted in
  10         source.  (Guile uses this internally.)
  11
  12 2003-01-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
  13
  14         * psyntax.ss (build-data): Don't quote self-evaluating expressions
  15         in output.  (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be
  16         quoted, but until Guile's native macros and syncase cooperates
  17         better, it is less destructive not to quote.)
  18         (self-evaluating?): Removed null? (In Guile, the empty list is not
  19         self-evaluating).
  20         (sc-chi): Export chi as sc-chi.
  21         (external-macro): New syntax type.
  22
  23         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
  24
  25         * compile-psyntax.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure.
  26
  27         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Return *unspecified*.
  28
  29         * syncase.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure to
  30         the-syncase-eval-closure during booting so that variables are
  31         created in the correct module.
  32         (syncase): Set expansion-eval-closure.
  33         (define-syntax define-syntax-public eval-when fluid-let-syntax
  34         identifier-syntax let-syntax letrec-syntax syntax syntax-case
  35         syntax-rules with-syntax include): Removed definitions (these are
  36         created from within psyntax.pp).
  37         Enable expansion of Guile macros during a syntax-case
  38         transformation.
  39
  40 2003-01-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
  41
  42         * occam-channel.scm (make-channel): Renamed from channel.
  43         (make-timer): New function.
  44
  45         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added occam-channel.scm.
  46
  47         * occam-channel.scm: New file.  Implements occam-like channels.
  48
  49 2002-12-28  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  50
  51         * boot-9.scm (module-defined-hook): New hook, run whenever a new
  52         module is defined.
  53         (process-define-module): Run this hook.
  54
  55 2002-12-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
  56
  57         * threads.scm: Removed bogus definition of future-ref.
  58
  59 2002-12-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
  60
  61         * threads.scm (par-map, par-for-each): Reimplemented using
  62         joing-thread.
  63         (parallel): Reimplemented using futures.
  64         (n-par-map, n-for-each): New procedures.
  65
  66 2002-12-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  67
  68         * optargs.scm (improper-list-copy): New.
  69         (parse-arglist): Use it instead of list-copy.
  70
  71 2002-12-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
  72
  73         * threads.scm (letpar): New macro.
  74
  75 2002-12-08  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
  76
  77         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION ->
  78         GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
  79
  80         * debugger/Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION ->
  81         GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
  82
  83         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION -> GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
  84
  85 2002-12-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
  86
  87         * threads.scm (parallel): New macro.
  88          (par-map, par-for-each): New procedures.
  89
  90         * documentation.scm (object-documentation): Added support for
  91         defmacros.
  92

  94
  95         * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax):  Re-introduced after accidentally
  96         removing it in my patch from 2002-11-16.
  97
  98 2002-11-24  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  99
 100         Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
 101         following changes:
 102
 103         * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
 104
 105         (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
 106         %system-define.
 107
 108         * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
 109         until Guile supports hygienic macros.
 110
 111 2002-11-17  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 112
 113         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
 114         has been removed from the core.
 115
 116 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 117
 118         * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
 119         identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
 120         syntax-rules, with-syntax, include):  Changed definitions to form
 121         'real' macro definitions.
 122
 123 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 124
 125         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 126         Fixed my previous fix (blush).
 127
 128 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 129
 130         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 131         Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
 132
 133 2002-11-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 134
 135         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition
 136         needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.
 137
 138 2002-11-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 139
 140         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"
 141         change below.
 142
 143         * debugger/breakpoints/source.scm: Enable source property
 144         recording when module is loaded.
 145         (##): Cope with ports whose `filename' is not a string.
 146
 147 2002-11-04  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 148
 149         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Simplify code-generation
 150         code.
 151
 152         * debugger/command-loop.scm (read-and-dispatch-command): Import
 153         set-readline-prompt dynamically if we need to.  (Previous
 154         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
 155         readline).)
 156
 157 2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 158
 159         * format.scm (format): Wrap a monitor around format:format since
 160         it is not thread-safe.
 161
 162 2002-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 163
 164         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'.  This
 165         value will be returned by join-thread.
 166
 167 2002-10-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 168
 169         Merging debugger enhancements previously in separate
 170         `guile-debugger' package ...
 171
 172         * debugger.scm: Factored out into the following constituent parts
 173         - see comment in file for more details.
 174         (*not-yet-introduced*): New (avoids repeatedly introducing the
 175         debugger when entering it from breakpoints).
 176         (debug-stack): New.
 177         (debug): Rewrite to use more general `debug-stack'.
 178
 179         * debugger/commands.scm, debugger/command-loop.scm,
 180         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits
 181         of old (ice-9 debugger), plus some rewriting and enhancements for
 182         breakpoint support ...
 183
 184         * debugger/state.scm (state-rtd): Add flags field.
 185         (make-state): Extend to optionally take flags.

 188         (write-state-short): Rewritten to print out the current source
 189         location in a way that is more easily trackable by Emacs.
 190
 191         * debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
 192         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
 193         execution from a breakpoint.
 194
 195         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,
 196         debugger/breakpoints/procedural.scm,
 197         debugger/breakpoints/range.scm, debugger/breakpoints/source.scm,
 198         debugger/trap-hooks.scm, debugger/trc.scm: New files - breakpoint

 204
 205 2002-10-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 206
 207         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Do not call unmask-signals, that
 208         should be unnecessary now.
 209
 210 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 211
 212         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
 213         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
 214         the-root-module.
 215
 216 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 217
 218         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
 219         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and
 220         call-with-unblocked-asyncs instead of mask-signals and
 221         unmask-signals.
 222
 223 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 224

 228 2002-10-04  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 229
 230         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
 231         >= 0.
 232
 233 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 234
 235         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to
 236         limit the signal stack.
 237
 238 2002-09-15  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 239
 240         * boot-9.scm (feature?): Added deprecation message.
 241
 242 2002-09-14  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 243
 244         * boot-9.scm (sqrt): minor indentation fix.
 245
 246 2002-09-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 247
 248         * syncase.scm: Set the module transformer of the-syncase-module so
 249         that we can use define-syntax.
 250         (define-syntax-public): New and exported.
 251
 252 2002-09-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 253
 254         * syncase.scm (expansion-eval-closure, env->eval-closure): New.
 255         (sc-macro): Set the expansion-eval-closure expanding the form.
 256         (putprop, getprop): Use the expansion-eval-closure to find
 257         variables instead of the current module.
 258
 259 2002-07-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 260
 261         * slib.scm (make-exchanger): Added.  Thanks to Clinton Ebadi!

 266         mmacro.
 267
 268 2002-06-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 269
 270         * boot-9.scm (file-set-position): Make third argument optional,
 271         for SCM compatibility.
 272         (file-position): simplify definition.
 273
 274 2002-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 275

 279
 280         * format.scm (format:out-inf-nan): New.
 281         (format:out-fixed, format:out-expon, format:out-general): Use it
 282         to print infs and nans.
 283
 284         * boot-9.scm (unsetenv): New, for completeness.
 285
 286 2002-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 287
 288         * format.scm (format:fn-max): Increase to 400 so ~f and ~g can
 289         print long real numbers with large positive and negative
 290         exponents.
 291
 292 2002-05-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 297
 298         * gap-buffer.scm: New file.
 299
 300         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add gap-buffer.scm.
 301
 302 2002-03-12  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 303
 304         * syncase.scm: fix bad let.

 306
 307 2002-03-05  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@giblet.glug.org>
 308
 309         * ftw.scm: New file.
 310
 311         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add ftw.scm.
 312
 313 2002-02-26  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@giblet.glug.org>
 314
 315         * Makefile.am: Update path to pre-inst-guile automake frag.

 318         Thanks to Christopher Cramer.
 319
 320 2002-02-24  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 321
 322         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
 323         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
 324         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
 325
 326         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.
 327
 328 2002-02-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@giblet.glug.org>
 329
 330         * regex.scm: Add commentary; nfc.

 333

 337
 338 2002-01-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 339
 340         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
 341         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
 342         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
 343         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
 344
 345 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 346
 347         More options for pretty-print.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 348
 349         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
 350         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
 351         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
 352
 353 2001-11-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 354
 355         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have
 356         these in the core.
 357
 358 2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 359
 360         * boot-9.scm (turn-on-debugging): New function, to be used by
 361         scm_compile_shell_switches.
 362
 363         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
 364         positions.
 365
 366 2001-10-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 367
 368         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 369         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 370         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 371
 372         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,
 373           channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,
 374           expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, ls.scm, mapping.scm,
 375           null.scm, optargs.scm, poe.scm, popen.scm, pretty-print.scm,
 376           q.scm, r5rs.scm, rdelim.scm, regex.scm, runq.scm, safe-r5rs.scm,
 377           safe.scm, session.scm, slib.scm, streams.scm, string-fun.scm,
 378           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
 379           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 380           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 381           exporting bindings.
 382
 383 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 384
 385         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
 386         :re-export-syntax
 387
 388 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 389
 390         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 391         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 392         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 393         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 394
 395 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

 529 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 530
 531         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
 532         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
 533         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
 534         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
 535
 536         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported

 538         since there aren't definitions for them.
 539
 540         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
 541         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
 542
 543 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 544
 545         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
 546         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
 547
 548 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 549
 550         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
 551         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
 552
 553 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 554
 555         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
 556         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
 557         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.

 565 2001-06-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 566
 567         Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
 568         is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
 569
 570         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
 571         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
 572         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
 573         New.
 574
 575 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 576
 577         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
 578         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
 579
 580 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 581
 582         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
 583         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
 584
 585         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
 586         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
 587         evaluator trap options.)

 602
 603         * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use

 605
 606 2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 607
 608         * match.scm:

 610         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
 611         No longer require `pretty-print'.
 612
 613         (slib:error): Delete.
 614         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
 615
 616         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.

 624
 625 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 626
 627         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
 628         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
 629         rdelim) module.  See below.
 630
 631 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 632
 633         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
 634         include-deprecated-features is true.
 635
 636 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 637
 638         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
 639         unknown objects.
 640
 641         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
 642         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
 643         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 644
 645         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
 646         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
 647         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
 648         Köppe!
 649
 650 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 651
 652         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
 653         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
 654         variable, not just a visible one.
 655         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
 656         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
 657         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
 658         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
 659         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
 660         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
 661         variables.
 662         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
 663
 664         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
 665         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
 666
 667 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 668
 669         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
 670         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
 671
 672 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 673
 674         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
 675
 676 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 677
 678         Added exception notice to all files.
 679
 680         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
 681         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
 682         importing bindings once in a while.
 683
 684 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 685
 686         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
 687         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
 688         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 689         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,

 692         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 693         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
 694         message.
 695         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
 696         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
 697
 698 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 699
 700         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
 701         fix command so that it works.
 702
 703         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
 704         to access unbound variables.
 705
 706         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
 707         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
 708         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
 709         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
 710         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
 711
 712 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 713
 714         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
 715         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
 716         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
 717         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
 718         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
 719         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
 720         argument for process-define-module.
 721         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
 722         arguments for process-use-modules.
 723         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
 724
 725 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 726
 727         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
 728         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
 729         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
 730         module.
 731
 732         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
 733         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
 734         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
 735
 736         * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.
 737
 738 2001-05-23  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 739
 740         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
 741         to feature lists.
 742         (cond-expand): Use feature information associated with modules.
 743
 744 2001-05-21  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 745
 746         * boot-9.scm (use-srfis): Do not extend the srfi-0 feature list.
 747         (cond-expand-provide): New procedure.
 748
 749 2001-05-22  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 750
 751         * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
 752         (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when
 753         getting the syntax transformer.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 754
 755 2001-05-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 756
 757         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
 758         deprecated features have been removed.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
 759
 760         * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
 761         `display'.
 762
 763 2001-05-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 764
 765         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
 766         * match.scm: Likewise.
 767         * expect.scm: Likewise.
 768         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 769
 770         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
 771
 772         * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
 773
 774         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
 775         set-current-module.
 776         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
 777         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
 778         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
 779         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.

 826
 827         * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use

 834         the default default for bindings.
 835
 836         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to

 846         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 847         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
 848         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
 849         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
 850         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
 851         `set-current-module' call.
 852         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
 853         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.
 854

 856         insert `debug-options' into the-root-module.

 891         Rewrite `use-module' and `use-syntax' handlers.
 892         Replace some single-arm `if-not' constructs w/ `or'.

1164         (named-module-use!): New function.
1165         (top-repl): Do not use `define-module'.  Use equivalent low-level

1180
1181         Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
1182         operating systems.

1184         * and-let-star.scm, and-let*.scm: Renamed `and-let*.scm' to

1195         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
1196         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
1197
1198         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
1199         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
1200
1201         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
1202         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.

1204 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1205
1206         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
1207         in C for now.
1208         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
1209         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
1210
1211 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1212
1213         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
1214         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
1215         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
1216         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
1217         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
1218         for now.

1221
1222 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1223
1224         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1225         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1226         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1227         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1228         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1229         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1230         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.

1236
1237 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1238
1239         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
1240         any more.
1241
1242 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1243

1265         make-shared-substring.
1266
1267 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1268
1269         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1270         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1271         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1272         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1273         scm-style-repl.
1274

1280 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1281
1282         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1283         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1284         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1285         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1286         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1287         Pirotte for the bug report).
1288         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1289         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

1312
1313         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1314         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1315         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1316
1317         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1318         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1319         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1320         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1321         actual documentation entries themselves.

1352         `symbol-append'.
1353         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1354         args.
1355         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1356         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1357         even worked...  /mdj.
1358         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1359         `symbol->string'.
1360         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1361         semantics.

1389         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1390         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1391         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.

1516         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1517         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1518         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1519         (help): Rewritten.
1520
1521         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1522
1523         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1524
1525 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1526
1527         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1528         (write-all): Removed.
1529         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
1530         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
1531
1532 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
1533
1534         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1535         `proc-documentation'
1536
1537         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
1538         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1539         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1540         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1541         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1542         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1543         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1544         getter...)
1545
1546 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1547
1548         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
1549
1550 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1551
1552         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1553         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
1554         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1555         closure.
1556
1557 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1558
1559         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
1560         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1561         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
1562         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
1563         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1564         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1565         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1566
1567 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1568
1569         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
1570         accept complex numbers as parameter.
1571
1572 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1573
1574         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1575         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
1576
1577 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1578
1579         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1580         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1581         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1582         instead of remove-if when iterating.
1583         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1584         delete-if! when iterating.
1585
1586 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1587
1588         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1589
1590 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1591
1592         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
1593
1594 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1595
1596         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1597         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
1598         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1599         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1600
1601 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1602
1603         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
1604         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1605
1606 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1607
1608         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
1609         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1610         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
1611         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
1612
1613 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1614
1615         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1616         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1617
1618 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1619
1620         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1621         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1622
1623 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1624
1625         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1626         Dirk Hermann!
1627
1628 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1629
1630         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1631         source of the numerous very short changes.
1632
1633 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1634
1635         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1636         public.
1637
1638         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1639         info pages.
1640
1641 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1642
1643         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1644         from slib docs.
1645
1646 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1647
1648         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1649         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1650
1651 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1652
1653         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1654         to string-append.
1655
1656 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1657
1658         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1659         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
1660         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1661
1662 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1663
1664         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1665         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1666         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
1667         Narazaki for this change.
1668
1669 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1670
1671         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1672         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1673         %S.
1674
1675         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1676         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1677
1678 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1679
1680         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1681         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1682
1683 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1684
1685         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1686         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1687         use define-public to export from the module.
1688
1689 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1690
1691         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1692         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1693         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1694
1695 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1696
1697         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1698
1699 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1700
1701         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1702         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1703
1704 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1705
1706         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1707
1708         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1709
1710         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1711
1712 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1713
1714         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1715         long_long uniform vectors.
1716
1717 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1718
1719         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1720         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
1721
1722 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1723
1724         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
1725         script to create generated files like this one.
1726
1727 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1728
1729         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1730         available before using getpw and getuid.
1731         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1732         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1733         check for stat.
1734         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1735         check for .guile, instead of stat.
1736         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1737         available.
1738         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
1739         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1740         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1741
1742         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
1743         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1744
1745         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1746
1747 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1748
1749         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
1750         than 'exit-debugger.
1751
1752         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1753         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1754
1755         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1756
1757 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1758
1759         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
1760         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1761         ("position"): New command.
1762         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1763         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
1764         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
1765         to return a valid state.)
1766         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
1767
1768 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1769
1770         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1771         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
1772         Badros.)
1773
1774 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1775
1776         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1777         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1778
1779 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1780
1781         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
1782
1783         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
1784
1785         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
1786         (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
1787
1788         * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
1789         display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
1790         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
1791         expression.
1792         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
1793         Handle errors.
1794
1795 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1796
1797         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1798         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1799
1800         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1801
1802 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1803
1804         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1805         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1806         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1807         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1808
1809         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1810         argument.
1811
1812         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1813         both forward and backward views of the stack
1814         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1815         Use selector `frame-number';
1816         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1817         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1818         Use (ice-9 debug).
1819         Use readline conditionally.
1820
1821 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1822
1823         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1824         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1825         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1826
1827         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1828         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
1829         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
1830
1831 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1832
1833         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1834
1835         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1836
1837         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1838
1839         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1840
1841 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1842
1843         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1844         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
1845         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
1846         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1847         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1848         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1849         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1850         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1851         libguile-config-stamp.
1852         * version.scm.in: Delete.
1853         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1854         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1855         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1856         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1857
1858 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1859
1860         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1861         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1862         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1863
1864         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1865         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1866         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1867         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
1868         readline.
1869
1870         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.

1880
1881 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1882
1883         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1884         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1885         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1886         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1887         objects starting with '#/'.

1889 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1890
1891         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1892         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1893         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1894         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1895         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1896         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1897         `observer-id'.
1898         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1899         module-modified): New procedures.
1900         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1901         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1902
1903 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1904
1905         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1906         defines.
1907
1908 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

1910         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1911         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1912         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1913
1914         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1915         position.
1916
1917 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1918
1919         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1920         at multiple calls to read.
1921         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1922         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1923         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1924         continued-lines prompt.
1925
1926         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1927         reading expressions.

1929 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1930
1931         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1932         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1933
1934 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1935
1936         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1937         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
1938         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)

1940         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1941
1942         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1943         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1944
1945         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1946         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
1947         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1948         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1949         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1950         instead of a port.
1951
1952 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1953
1954         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1955         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1956
1957         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1958
1959         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
1960         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
1961         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1962         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1963
1964         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1965
1966         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1967
1968         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
1969         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1970         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
1971         an alist.
1972
1973         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1974
1975         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1976         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1977         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1978         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1979         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1980         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1981         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1982         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1983         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1984         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1985         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
1986
1987         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1988
1989         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1990         peeked from the stream.
1991         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1992         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1993         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1994
1995         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1996
1997         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1998         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1999
2000         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2001
2002         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2003         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
2004         exiting repl with single control-D.
2005
2006         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2007
2008         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2009         error catching loop after quit received.
2010         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2011
2012         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2013         primitive exit if non-interactive.
2014         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2015
2016         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2017         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2018         boot-9.scm.
2019         * popen.scm: new file.
2020
2021 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2022

2027
2028         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
2029         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
2030
2031 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2032
2033         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2034         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2035         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2036         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2037         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2038
2039 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2040
2041         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2042
2043         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2044         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2045
2046         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2047         Guile's module system.
2048
2049         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2050         changes:
2051         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2052         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2053         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2054         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
2055         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2056         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2057         modern CL behavior.
2058         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2059         '() when the condition is false.
2060
2061 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2062
2063         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2064
2065 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2066
2067         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2068
2069 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2070
2071         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2072         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2073         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2074
2075 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2076
2077         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2078         argument order for hash-fold.
2079
2080 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2081
2082         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
2083         resolve-module.
2084         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2085         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2086
2087         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2088         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2089         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2090         has been added to the load path).
2091
2092         Use try-load-module.
2093
2094 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2095
2096         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
2097         module between system and user state.
2098
2099 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2100
2101         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2102
2103         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2104         definition.
2105
2106 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2107
2108         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2109         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2110         system can create a wrapper class for it.
2111
2112 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2113
2114         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2115         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
2116         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2117         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2118         stack frame encountered.
2119
2120         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2121         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2122         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2123         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2124         list).]
2125
2126         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2127         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2128         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2129         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2130         please tell me!]
2131
2132         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2133         define-module switches:
2134
2135         (define-module (foo)
2136           :no-backtrace)
2137
2138         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2139         modules.
2140
2141         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2142         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2143         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2144         module it is a system frame.
2145
2146         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2147         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2148         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2149         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2150         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2151
2152         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2153         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
2154         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2155         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2156         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
2157         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2158
2159         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2160         status of a module.;
2161         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2162         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2163
2164         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2165         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2166         closure to the module.
2167
2168         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2169
2170 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2171
2172         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
2173
2174 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2175

2177
2178 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2179
2180         Fix from Russ McManus:
2181         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2182         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2183         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2184         either an optional or required value.

2193         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2194         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2195         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.

2203
2204 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>

2211
2212         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2213         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2214         for isn't loaded.
2215
2216 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2217
2218         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2220 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2221
2222         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2223         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2224         applied to the module itself.
2225

2230         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2231         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2232
2233 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2234
2235         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2236
2237 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2238
2239         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2240
2241 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2242
2243         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2244         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2245
2246 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2247
2248         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2249         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2250         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2251         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2252         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2253         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2254         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2255
2256 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2257
2258         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2259         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2260
2261 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2262
2263         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2264         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2265         static libraries.
2266
2267 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2268
2269         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2270
2271 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2272
2273         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2274
2275 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2276
2277         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2278         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2279         adapt to the new hooks.
2280
2281 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2282
2283         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2284         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2285         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2286         code.
2287         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2288         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2289
2290         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2291         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2292         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2293         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2294         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2295         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2296         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2297         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2298         first to register linked modules.
2299
2300         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2301         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2302         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2303
2304         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2305         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2306         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2307         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2308
2309         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2310         to use from C:
2311         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2312         libguile/feature.c.
2313
2314         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2315         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2316         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2317
2318 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2319
2320         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2321         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2322         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2323
2324 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2325
2326         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2327         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2328         result of the last form.
2329
2330 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2331
2332         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2333         syncase.scm.
2334
2335         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2336
2337         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2338         readline-set!: New options interface.
2339
2340         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2341
2342 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2343
2344         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2345         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2346
2347 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2348
2349         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2350         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2351
2352 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2353
2354         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2355         interactive session.
2356         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2357
2358         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2359         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2360
2361 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2362
2363         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2364
2365 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2366
2367         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2368         read line was empty.
2369
2370 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2371
2372         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2373         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2374
2375         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2376
2377         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2378         problem.  Duh.
2379         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2380         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2381         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2382
2383         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2384         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2385         into...
2386         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2387         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2388         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2389
2390         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2391         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2392         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2393         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2394         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2395         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2396         psyntax.ss.
2397         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2398
2399         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2400         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2401
2402 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2403
2404         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2405         and short vectors #h(...).
2406
2407 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2408
2409         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2410         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2411         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2412
2413 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2414
2415         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2416         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2417         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2418
2419 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2420
2421         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2422         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2423
2424         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2425         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2426         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2427         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2428
2429 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2430
2431         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2432         trace flag.
2433
2434         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2435         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2436         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2437         context with traps enabled.
2438
2439 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2440
2441         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2442         module.
2443         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2444
2445 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2446
2447         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2448         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2449         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2450         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2451         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2452
2453 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2454
2455         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2456         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2457
2458 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2459
2460         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2461
2462 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2463
2464         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2465
2466 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2467
2468         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2469
2470 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2471
2472         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2473         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2474
2475 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2476
2477         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2478         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2479         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2480         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
2481         Archibald.)
2482
2483         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2484         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2485         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2486
2487 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2488
2489         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2490         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2491         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2492         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
2493         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2494         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2495         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2496
2497 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2498
2499         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2500
2501 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2502
2503         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2504         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2505         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
2506         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2507         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2508         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2509
2510 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2511
2512         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2513         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2514         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
2515         Steven G. Johnson.)
2516
2517 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2518
2519         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2520
2521 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2522
2523         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2524
2525 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2526
2527         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2528         be completed.
2529
2530 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2531
2532         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2533
2534 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2535
2536         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2537         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2538
2539 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2540
2541         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2542         similar in use to `use-modules'.
2543         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2544         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2545         transformer.
2546         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2547         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2548
2549 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2550
2551         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2552
2553 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2554
2555         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2556         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2557         completion.
2558
2559         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2560         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2561
2562         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2563         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2564         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2565
2566         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2567
2568 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2569
2570         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2571
2572         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2573         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2574
2575 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2576
2577         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2578
2579 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2580
2581         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
2582         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2583
2584         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2585
2586         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
2587         obsolete.
2588
2589 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2590
2591         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2592         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2593
2594 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2595
2596         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2597
2598 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2599
2600         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
2601         Stachowiak.)
2602
2603 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2604
2605         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2606         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
2607         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2608         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2609         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2610         threads.
2611
2612 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2613
2614         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2615         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2616         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2617
2618 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2619
2620         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2621
2622         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2623         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2624
2625 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2626
2627         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2628         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2629         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2630         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2631         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
2632         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2633         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2634         to go here.
2635
2636 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2637
2638         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2639         is now a fluid.
2640
2641 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2642
2643         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2644         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2645         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
2646         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
2647         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2648         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2649
2650 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2651
2652         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2653         usefully so they will work from a script.
2654
2655 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2656
2657         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2658         neighborhood of the record code.
2659
2660 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2661
2662         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
2663         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2664         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2665         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2666
2667 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2668
2669         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2670         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2671         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2672
2673 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2674
2675         Add support for readline function.
2676         * readline.scm: New module.
2677         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2678         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2679         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2680         anything.
2681         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2682         repl-reader to use them.
2683         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2684
2685         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2686
2687 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2688
2689         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2690         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2691
2692 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2693
2694         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2695         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2696         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2697
2698 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2699
2700         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
2701         #f, abort terminates the process.
2702         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2703         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
2704
2705 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2706
2707         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2708         print-state, throw it away.
2709
2710 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2711
2712         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2713         `0'.
2714
2715 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2716
2717         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2718         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2719         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2720         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2721         user field).
2722         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2723         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2724
2725 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2726
2727         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2728
2729 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2730
2731         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2732         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2733         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2734         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2735         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2736         boot-9.scm.
2737         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2738         distribution and installation.
2739         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2740
2741 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2742
2743         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
2744
2745 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2746
2747         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2748         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
2749         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2750
2751         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2752         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2753         symbol.
2754
2755 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2756
2757         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
2758
2759         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.

2762
2763         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2764         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2765         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2766         field a separate argument.
2767
2768         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2769
2770 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2771
2772         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2773
2774         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
2775         vicinity;
2776         Provide defmacro.
2777
2778 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2779
2780         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
2781
2782 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2783
2784         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2785         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2786         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2787         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2788         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
2789         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2790         registered.
2791         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2792         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2793         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2794         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2795         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2796         link a .so-file.
2797
2798 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2799
2800         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
2801
2802 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2803
2804         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
2805         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
2806
2807 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2808
2809         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2810
2811         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2812         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2813         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
2814         expansion inside the slib module.
2815
2816         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
2817         constructors.
2818         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
2819         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
2820         (let): New core form.
2821         (if): Removed from core language.
2822         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
2823         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
2824         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2825
2826         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2827         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2828         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2829         source.
2830         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2831         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2832         been loaded.
2833
2834 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
2835
2836         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
2837         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
2838         `use-syntax'.
2839         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
2840
2841         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
2842         (make-module): Modified initialization.
2843         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
2844         mutator for module-associated transformer.
2845         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
2846         `scm:eval-transformer'.
2847         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
2848         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
2849         module.
2850         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
2851
2852 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2853
2854         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2855
2856         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2857         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2858         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2859         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2860         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2861
2862         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2863         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2864         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2865         syncase macros.
2866         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2867         the syncase interface.
2868
2869 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2870
2871         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2872         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2873         workings of the current module system).
2874
2875 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2876
2877         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2878         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
2879         off!
2880
2881 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2882
2883         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
2884         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
2885         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
2886
2887 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2888
2889         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2890         according to the following priorities:
2891         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2892         2. bindings from the-scm-module
2893         3. tcl bindings
2894         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2895         disabling the scheme interpreter.
2896         (new-interpreter): New function.
2897
2898         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2899         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2900         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
2901
2902 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2903

2909
2910 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2911
2912         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
2913         procedures.
2914         (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
2915
2916 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2917
2918         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2919         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
2920         source!
2921
2922 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2923
2924         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
2925         (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

2930         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2931         in stack-ref).
2932
2933         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2934         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;

2951
2952 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2953
2954         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2955         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2956         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2957
2958         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
2959
2960         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
2961         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by

2975
2976         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2977         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2978         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2979
2980         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2981         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2982         the top.
2983
2984         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2985         order to narrow it correctly.

2998
2999         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
3000         builtin `with-fluids*'.
3001
3002 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3003
3004         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3005         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
3006         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
3007
3008 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3009

3016         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
3017         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
3018         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
3019         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
3020
3021 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3022
3023         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
3024         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
3025         a default of /.
3026
3027         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
3028
3029 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3030
3031         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
3032         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
3033         notation, instead of #/ notation.

3036         make-regexp.
3037

3039
3040         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3041         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3042         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
3043         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3044         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3045         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3046
3047         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3048         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3049         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3050         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3051
3052 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3053
3054         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3055         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
3056         sending in bug reports.
3057         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3058         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3059         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3060         display a warning if the two are different.
3061         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3062         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3063         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3064
3065 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3066

3068
3069 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3070
3071         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3072         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3073
3074         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3075         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3076         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3077         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3078         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3079         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3080         that's okay.
3081
3082         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
3083         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3084         regexp interface.
3085
3086         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3087         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
3088
3089         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3090         function names.
3091
3092         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3093         fixes.
3094
3095 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3096
3097         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3098         ../configure.in.
3099
3100 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3101
3102         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3103         vtable and not the one of the struct.
3104
3105 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3106
3107         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3108         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3109         to support printing of structures.
3110         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3111         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
3112         commented out printing code.
3113         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3114         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
3115
3116 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3117
3118         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3119
3120 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3121
3122         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3123         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3124         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3125         during call to scm-style-repl.
3126
3127 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3128
3129         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3130         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3131         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3132         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3133         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3134
3135 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3136
3137         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3138         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3139         (ice-9 regex).
3140
3141 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3142
3143         * regex.scm: New file.
3144         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3145         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3146
3147 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3148

3157         in 1997.
3158
3159 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3160
3161         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3162         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3163         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3164
3165 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3166
3167         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3168         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3169         here.
3170
3171 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3172
3173         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

3181         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3182         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3183         fixes this too.
3184
3185 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3186
3187         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3188         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3189         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3190
3191 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3192
3193         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3194         the Scheme code like code yet.
3195         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3196
3197 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3198
3199         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3200         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3201         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3202
3203 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3204
3205         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3206         use-modules macro
3207         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3208         can't be found.
3209
3210 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3211
3212         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.

3214 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3215
3216         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3217
3218         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3219         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.

3229         no plugins.
3230         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3231         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

3243
3244         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout

3248
3249         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3250         instead of in libguile.
3251         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.

3253
3254 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3255

3262
3263         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3264         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3265
3266 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3267
3268         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3269         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3270         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3271         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3272
3273 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3274
3275         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3276         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3277
3278 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3279
3280         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3281
3282 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3283
3284         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3285         keywords and symbols.
3286
3287 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3288
3289         * slib.scm: update read usage.
3290
3291         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3292         Don't define read-sharp.
3293
3294         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3295         (read-sharp): removed.
3296         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3297         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3298
3299 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3300
3301         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3302
3303         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
3304         primitive procedure.)
3305
3306         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3307         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3308
3309 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3310
3311         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3312
3313 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3314
3315         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3316
3317 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3318
3319         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3320         read gets EOF.
3321         * (exit): alias for quit.
3322
3323 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3324
3325         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3326         return the quit args.
3327         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3328         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3329         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3330
3331         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3332
3333 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3334
3335         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3336
3337         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3338         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3339
3340         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3341         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3342
3343         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3344         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3345         of handlers.
3346
3347 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3348
3349         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3350
3351         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3352         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3353         Change hooks to use these functions.
3354
3355         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3356         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3357         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3358         the source! :-)
3359         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3360         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3361         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3362         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3363         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3364         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3365         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3366         traced.
3367
3368         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3369         and exit-frame exceptions.
3370
3371         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3372         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3373         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3374         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3375         result; otherwise display "> ".
3376         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3377
3378         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3379         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3380         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3381         repository version runnable.
3382
3383 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3384
3385         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3386         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3387         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3388         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3389         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3390         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3391
3392 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3393
3394         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3395         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3396         and eval.
3397         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3398         "defined?".
3399         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3400         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3401
3402 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3403
3404         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3405
3406 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3407
3408         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3409         %read-sharp layer.
3410
3411 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3412
3413         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3414         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3415
3416 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3417
3418         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3419         backtrace.c.)
3420
3421 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3422
3423         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3424         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3425
3426 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3427
3428         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3429
3430         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3431         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3432         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3433         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3434         dynamic linking of modules.
3435         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3436         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3437
3438 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3439
3440         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3441
3442 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3443
3444         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3445         that's what it is.
3446
3447         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3448         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3449         was false.
3450
3451 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3452
3453         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3454         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3455         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3456
3457 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3458
3459         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3460         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
3461         yet.
3462
3463 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3464
3465         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3466         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3467         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3468
3469 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3470
3471         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3472         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3473         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3474         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3475
3476         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3477         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3478         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3479         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3480         (such as the-scm-module).
3481
3482 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3483
3484         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3485         %search-load-path.
3486
3487 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
3488
3489         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3490         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3491         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3492
3493 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3494
3495         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3496         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3497         function, use it accordingly.
3498
3499 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3500
3501         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
3502         function of no arguments.
3503         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3504         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3505         set-current-module): Uses changed.
3506         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3507         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3508         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3509         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3510         *top-level-eval-closure*.
3511
3512 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3513
3514         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3515         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3516
3517 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3518
3519         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3520         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3521         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
3522         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
3523         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3524
3525         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3526         `*features*'.
3527
3528         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3529         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
3530         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3531         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3532
3533         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3534
3535         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3536
3537         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3538         If the user wants to see this, he can do
3539         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3540
3541         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3542         error.
3543
3544         Added `before-read-hook'.
3545
3546         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3547
3548         (provide): New function.
3549
3550         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3551         in backtraces.
3552
3553         (backtrace): New function.
3554
3555         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3556         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3557         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
3558         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3559         is found in operator position in a frame.
3560
3561         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3562         by default.
3563
3564         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3565         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3566         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3567
3568         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
3569
3570         (library-vicinity): Updated.
3571
3572         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3573
3574         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3575
3576 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3577
3578         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3579
3580         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3581         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
3582
3583         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3584         so they'll get distributed.
3585
3586         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
3587         should see as little clutter as possible.
3588         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3589         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3590         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3591
3592         * r4rs.scm: New file.
3593         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3594         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3595         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3596         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3597         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3598         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3599         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3600         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3601         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3602         that are not.
3603         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3604         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3605
3606         * test.scm: New file.
3607
3608         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3609         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
3610         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3611
3612         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3613         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3614
3615         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3616         work now.
3617         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
3618         call %load-announce.
3619
3620 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3621
3622         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3623         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3624         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3625         components.
3626         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3627
3628 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3629
3630         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3631         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3632         SCSH (which this isn't).
3633
3634 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3635
3636         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3637
3638 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3639
3640         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3641         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3642         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3643         these.
3644         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
3645         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
3646         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3647         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3648         save-stack.
3649
3650 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3651
3652         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3653
3654         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3655
3656         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3657         error-catching-loop.
3658         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3659         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3660         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3661
3662         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3663         error-catching-loop.
3664
3665 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3666
3667         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3668         (make-module): Rework for readability.
3669         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3670         should be '(), not #f.
3671
3672         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3673         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3674
3675 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3676
3677         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3678         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3679         error-signal.
3680
3681 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3682
3683         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3684         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3685         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3686         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3687
3688 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3689
3690         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3691
3692 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3693
3694         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3695
3696         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3697         throw-handler-default.
3698         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3699         reported.
3700         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3701         acro.
3702         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3703         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3704
3705 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3706
3707         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3708         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3709         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3710         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3711
3712 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3713
3714         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3715         Append "." to the default %load-path.
3716         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3717         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3718         ...))
3719         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3720         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3721         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3722         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3723         file-is-directory?
3724
3725 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3726
3727         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3728
3729         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3730         distribution.
3731
3732         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3733         `switch-repl'.
3734
3735         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3736
3737 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3738
3739         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3740         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3741
3742 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3743
3744         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3745
3746         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3747
3748 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3749
3750         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
3751         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3752         Don't set up 'error as a key.
3753         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3754         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3755
3756         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3757         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3758         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3759         they seem redundant.
3760         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3761         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
3762         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3763         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
3764         directly files starting with "/").
3765         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3766         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3767
3768         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3769
3770 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3771
3772         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3773         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3774         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
3775         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3776         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3777         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3778         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
3779         robust to just do it in the C code.
3780
3781 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3782
3783         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
3784         %try-load itself was the primitive.
3785         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3786         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3787         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3788
3789 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3790
3791         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3792         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3793         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3794
3795 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3796
3797         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3798         system-error, not every kind of error.
3799         (scm-error): new procedure.
3800
3801 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3802
3803         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3804
3805 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3806
3807         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3808         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
3809         of args are supplied.
3810         (%%system-errors): removed.
3811         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3812         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3813         %%handle-system-error.
3814         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3815         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3816         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3817         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3818
3819 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3820
3821         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3822         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3823         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3824         %S (embed an argument using "write").
3825
3826 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3827
3828         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3829         the empty list if they are #f.
3830         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3831
3832 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3833
3834         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3835
3836         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3837         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3838         aborting, just the key and subr.
3839         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3840         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3841         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
3842
3843 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3844
3845         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3846         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
3847         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3848         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3849         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
3850
3851 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3852
3853         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
3854         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
3855         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
3856         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
3857
3858 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3859
3860         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
3861         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
3862         initialize %load-path.
3863
3864         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3865         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
3866
3867 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3868
3869         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3870         Add the directory named after the version number.
3871         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
3872         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
3873         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
3874         sitedatadir): New definitions.
3875         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

3877         Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
3878         (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
3879
3880 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3881
3882         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3883         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3884         in the Makefile directly.
3885         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3886         for these.
3887         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
3888         aux_files.
3889         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
3890         here, where people expect to find them.

3893
3894         * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
3895         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
3896
3897         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
3898
3899 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3900
3901         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
3902         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)
3903
3904 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3905
3906         * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
3907         Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
3908
3909         * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
3910         weak-key-hash-table.
3911
3912 Sat Aug  3 06:16:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3913
3914         * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
3915         (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes.  return
3916         the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
3917         (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
3918         (%open-file): removed.
3919         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
3920         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
3921
3922 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3923
3924         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
3925         (manifest): Deleted.
3926         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
3927         directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
3928
3929 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3930
3931         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
3932         now that they throw errors directly.
3933         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
3934         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
3935
3936 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3937
3938         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
3939
3940 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>
3941
3942         * The more things change...
3943
3944
