 200
 201         * boot-9.scm (save-stack): Use `primitive-eval' for stack
 202         cutting.  Makes backtraces work again!  Also added a reference to
 203         save-stack from the place in the repl where the primitive-eval
 204         frame is invoked.
 205

 257         "and-let*.scm", ignoring errors.

 259
 260 2001-01-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 261
 262         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
 263         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
 264
 265         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
 266         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
 267
 268         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
 269         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
 270
 271 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 272
 273         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
 274         in C for now.
 275         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
 276         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
 277
 278 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 279
 280         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
 281         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
 282         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
 283         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.

 285         for now.

 287         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
 288
 289 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 290
 291         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
 292         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
 293         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
 294         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
 295         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
 296         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
 297         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
 298

 300
 301         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only

 303
 304 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 305
 306         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
 307         any more.
 308
 309 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 310
 311         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
 312         the-root-module.
 313
 314 2000-12-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

 317
 318 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 319
 320         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
 321         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
 322         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
 323         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
 324         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
 325         split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
 326         split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 327         split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
 328         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
 329         string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
 330         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
 331         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
 332         make-shared-substring.
 333
 334 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 335
 336         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
 337         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
 338         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
 339         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
 340         scm-style-repl.
 341
 342 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 343
 344         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
 345         and open-output-pipe.
 346
 347 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 348
 349         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
 350         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
 351         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
 352         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
 353         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
 354         Pirotte for the bug report).
 355         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
 356         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
 357
 358 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 359
 360         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.

 366
 367 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 368
 369         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
 370         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
 371         patch.
 372
 373 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 374

 377
 378 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 379
 380         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
 381         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
 382         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
 383
 384         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
 385         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
 386         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
 387         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
 388         actual documentation entries themselves.

 390 2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 391
 392         * boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
 393
 394 2000-09-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 395
 396         * syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.
 397
 398 2000-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 399
 400         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
 401         Convert first argument to a string.
 402
 403         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
 404         getter-and-setter-syntax,
 405         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
 406         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
 407
 408         * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
 409
 410         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
 411
 412 2000-08-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 413
 414         * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
 415
 416 2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 417
 418         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
 419         `symbol-append'.
 420         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
 421         args.
 422         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
 423         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
 424         even worked...  /mdj.
 425         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
 426         `symbol->string'.
 427         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
 428         semantics.
 429
 430 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 431
 432         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
 433         form set!.
 434
 435 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 436
 437         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
 438         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
 439
 440 2000-08-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 441
 442         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.
 443
 444 2000-08-16  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 451         Matthias Köppe.)
 452
 453 2000-08-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 454
 455         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
 456         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
 457         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
 458         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
 459         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
 460
 461         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
 462
 463 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 464
 465         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
 466         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
 467
 468         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
 469         syntactic bindings.
 470
 471         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
 472         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
 473         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
 474         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
 475
 476         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
 477
 478         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
 479         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
 480
 481         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
 482
 483         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
 484         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
 485
 486 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 487
 488         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
 489         definition of module-type.
 490
 491         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
 492
 493         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
 494
 495         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
 496         lines.
 497         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
 498         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
 499
 500 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 501
 502         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
 503
 504 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 505
 506         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
 507         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
 508         Mikael for the suggestion.
 509
 510 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 511
 512         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
 513         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
 514
 515 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 516
 517         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
 518         for export args.
 519
 520 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 521
 522         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
 523
 524 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 525
 526         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
 527         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
 528         for the hint.
 529
 530         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
 531         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
 532         tail recursive yet.
 533
 534 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 535
 536         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
 537         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
 538
 539         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
 540         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
 541         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
 542         See NEWS.
 543         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
 544
 545         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
 546
 547 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 548
 549         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
 550         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
 551
 552 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 553
 554         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
 555         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
 556
 557 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 558
 559         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
 560         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
 561
 562 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 563
 564         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
 565
 566         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 567
 568         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
 569
 570 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 571
 572         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
 573         '() instead of #f.
 574         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
 575         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
 576         `the-root-module'.
 577         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
 578
 579         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
 580         documentation.scm.
 581
 582         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
 583         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
 584         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 585         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 586         (help): Rewritten.
 587
 588         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 589
 590         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 591
 592 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 593
 594         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
 595         (write-all): Removed.
 596         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
 597         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
 598
 599 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
 600
 601         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 602         `proc-documentation'
 603
 604         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 605         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 606         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 607         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 608         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 609         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 610         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 611         getter...)
 612
 613 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 614
 615         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
 616
 617 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 618
 619         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
 620         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
 621         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
 622         closure.
 623
 624 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 625
 626         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
 627         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
 628         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
 629         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
 630         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
 631         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
 632         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 633
 634 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 635
 636         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
 637         accept complex numbers as parameter.
 638
 639 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 640
 641         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
 642         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
 643
 644 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 645
 646         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 647         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 648         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 649         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 650         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 651         delete-if! when iterating.
 652
 653 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 654
 655         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 656
 657 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 658
 659         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 660
 661 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 662
 663         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 664         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 665         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 666         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 667
 668 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 669
 670         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 671         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 672
 673 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 674
 675         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 676         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 677         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 678         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 679
 680 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 681
 682         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 683         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 684
 685 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 686
 687         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 688         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 689
 690 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 691
 692         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 693         Dirk Hermann!
 694
 695 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 696
 697         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 698         source of the numerous very short changes.
 699
 700 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 701
 702         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 703         public.
 704
 705         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 706         info pages.
 707
 708 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 709
 710         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 711         from slib docs.
 712
 713 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 714
 715         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 716         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 717
 718 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 719
 720         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 721         to string-append.
 722
 723 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 724
 725         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 726         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 727         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 728
 729 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 730
 731         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 732         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 733         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 734         Narazaki for this change.
 735
 736 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 737
 738         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 739         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 740         %S.
 741
 742         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 743         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 744
 745 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 746
 747         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 748         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 749
 750 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 751
 752         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 753         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 754         use define-public to export from the module.
 755
 756 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 757
 758         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 759         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 760         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
 761
 762 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 763

 789 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 790
 791         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 792         script to create generated files like this one.
 793
 794 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 795
 796         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 797         available before using getpw and getuid.
 798         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
 799         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to

 802         check for .guile, instead of stat.
 803         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
 804         available.
 805         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 806         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 807         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 808
 809         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 810         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 811
 812         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 813
 814 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

 839         Badros.)
 840
 841 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 842
 843         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 844         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 845

 847
 848         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

 863
 864         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of

 868
 869 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 870
 871         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 872         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.

 875
 876         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 877         argument.
 878
 879         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 880         both forward and backward views of the stack
 881         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 882         Use selector `frame-number';

 887
 888 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 889
 890         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 891         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 892         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 893
 894         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 895         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 896         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 897
 898 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 899
 900         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 901
 902         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 903
 904         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 905
 906         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 907
 908 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 909
 910         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 911         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 912         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 913         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 914         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 915         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 916         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 917         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 918         libguile-config-stamp.
 919         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 920         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 921         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 922         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 923         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 924
 925 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 926
 927         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 928         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 929         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 930
 931         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 932         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 933         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 934         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 935         readline.
 936
 937         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 938
 939 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 940
 941         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 942
 943 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 944
 945         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 946         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 947
 948 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 949
 950         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 951         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 952         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 953         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 954         objects starting with '#/'.
 955
 956 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 957
 958         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 959         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 960         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 961         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 962         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 963         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 964         `observer-id'.
 965         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 966         module-modified): New procedures.
 967         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 968         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 969
 970 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 971
 972         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 973         defines.
 974
 975 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 976
 977         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 978         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 979         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 980
 981         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 982         position.
 983
 984 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 985
 986         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 987         at multiple calls to read.
 988         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 989         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 990         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 991         continued-lines prompt.
 992
 993         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 994         reading expressions.
 995
 996 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 997
 998         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 999         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1000
1001 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1002
1003         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1004         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
1005         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1006
1007         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1008
1009         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1010         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1011
1012         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1013         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
1014         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1015         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1016         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1017         instead of a port.
1018
1019 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1020
1021         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1022         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1023
1024         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1025
1026         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
1027         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
1028         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1029         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1030
1031         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1032
1033         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1034
1035         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
1036         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1037         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
1038         an alist.
1039
1040         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1041
1042         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1043         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1044         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1045         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1046         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1047         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1048         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1049         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1050         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1051         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1052         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
1053
1054         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1055
1056         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1057         peeked from the stream.
1058         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1059         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1060         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1061
1062         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1063
1064         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1065         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1066
1067         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1068
1069         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1070         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
1071         exiting repl with single control-D.
1072
1073         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1074
1075         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1076         error catching loop after quit received.
1077         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1078
1079         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1080         primitive exit if non-interactive.
1081         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1082
1083         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1084         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1085         boot-9.scm.
1086         * popen.scm: new file.
1087
1088 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1089
1090        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
1091        (reverse-iota):  removed.
1092
1093 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1094
1095         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1096         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1097
1098 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1099
1100         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1101         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1102         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1103         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1104         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1105
1106 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1107
1108         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1109
1110         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1111         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1112
1113         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1114         Guile's module system.
1115
1116         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1117         changes:
1118         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1119         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1120         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1121         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
1122         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1123         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1124         modern CL behavior.
1125         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns

1128 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1129
1130         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1131
1132 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1133
1134         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1135
1136 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1137
1138         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1139         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1140         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1141
1142 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1143
1144         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1145         argument order for hash-fold.
1146
1147 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1148
1149         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
1150         resolve-module.
1151         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1152         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1153
1154         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1155         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1156         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1157         has been added to the load path).
1158
1159         Use try-load-module.
1160
1161 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1162
1163         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
1164         module between system and user state.
1165
1166 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1167
1168         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1169
1170         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1171         definition.
1172
1173 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1174
1175         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1176         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1177         system can create a wrapper class for it.
1178
1179 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1180
1181         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1182         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
1183         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1184         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1185         stack frame encountered.
1186
1187         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1188         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1189         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1190         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1191         list).]
1192
1193         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1194         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1195         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1196         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
1197         please tell me!]
1198
1199         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1200         define-module switches:
1201
1202         (define-module (foo)
1203           :no-backtrace)
1204
1205         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1206         modules.
1207
1208         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1209         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1210         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
1211         module it is a system frame.
1212
1213         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1214         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1215         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1216         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
1217         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1218
1219         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1220         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
1221         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1222         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1223         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
1224         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1225
1226         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1227         status of a module.;
1228         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1229         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1230
1231         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1232         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1233         closure to the module.
1234
1235         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1236
1237 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1238
1239         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1240
1241 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1242
1243         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1244
1245 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1246
1247         Fix from Russ McManus:
1248         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1249         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1250         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1251         either an optional or required value.
1252
1253 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1254
1255         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1256
1257         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1258         of the '() key, not `rest'.
1259
1260         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1261         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1262         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1263         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1264
1265 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1266
1267         * optargs.scm: New file.
1268         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1269         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1270
1271 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1272
1273         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1274         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1275         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1276
1277 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1278
1279         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1280         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1281         for isn't loaded.
1282
1283 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1284
1285         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1286
1287 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1288
1289         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1290         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1291         applied to the module itself.
1292
1293 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1294
1295         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1296
1297         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
1298         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1299
1300 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1301
1302         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1303
1304 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1305
1306         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1307
1308 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1309
1310         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1311         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1312
1313 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1314
1315         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1316         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1317         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1318         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1319         among BINDINGS is referenced.
1320         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
1321         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1322
1323 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1324
1325         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1326         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1327
1328 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1329
1330         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1331         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1332         static libraries.
1333
1334 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1335
1336         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1337
1338 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1339
1340         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1341
1342 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1343
1344         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1345         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1346         adapt to the new hooks.
1347
1348 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1349
1350         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1351         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
1352         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1353         code.
1354         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1355         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1356
1357         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1358         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1359         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1360         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1361         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1362         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1363         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1364         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1365         first to register linked modules.
1366
1367         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1368         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1369         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1370
1371         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1372         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1373         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1374         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1375
1376         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1377         to use from C:
1378         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1379         libguile/feature.c.
1380
1381         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1382         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1383         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1384
1385 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1386
1387         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1388         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1389         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1390
1391 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1392
1393         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
1394         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1395         result of the last form.
1396
1397 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1398
1399         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1400         syncase.scm.
1401
1402         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1403
1404         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1405         readline-set!: New options interface.
1406
1407         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1408
1409 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1410
1411         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1412         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1413
1414 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1415
1416         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1417         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1418
1419 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1420
1421         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1422         interactive session.
1423         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1424
1425         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1426         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1427
1428 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1429
1430         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1431
1432 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1433
1434         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1435         read line was empty.
1436
1437 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1438
1439         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1440         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1441
1442         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1443
1444         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1445         problem.  Duh.
1446         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1447         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1448         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1449
1450         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1451         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1452         into...
1453         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1454         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1455         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1456
1457         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1458         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1459         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1460         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1461         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1462         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1463         psyntax.ss.
1464         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1465
1466         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1467         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1468
1469 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1470
1471         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1472         and short vectors #h(...).
1473
1474 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1475
1476         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1477         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1478         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1479
1480 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1481
1482         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1483         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1484         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1485
1486 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1487
1488         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1489         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1490
1491         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1492         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1493         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1494         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1495
1496 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1497
1498         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1499         trace flag.
1500
1501         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1502         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1503         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1504         context with traps enabled.
1505
1506 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1507
1508         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1509         module.
1510         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1511
1512 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1513
1514         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1515         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1516         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1517         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1518         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1519
1520 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1521
1522         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1523         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1524
1525 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1526
1527         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1528
1529 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1530
1531         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1532
1533 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1534
1535         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1536
1537 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1538
1539         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1540         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1541
1542 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1543
1544         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1545         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1546         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1547         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1548         Archibald.)
1549
1550         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1551         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1552         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1553
1554 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1555
1556         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1557         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1558         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1559         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1560         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1561         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1562         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1563
1564 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1565
1566         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1567
1568 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1569
1570         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1571         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1572         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1573         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1574         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1575         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1576
1577 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1578
1579         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1580         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1581         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1582         Steven G. Johnson.)
1583
1584 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1585
1586         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1587
1588 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1589
1590         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1591
1592 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1593
1594         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1595         be completed.
1596
1597 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1598
1599         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1600
1601 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1602
1603         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1604         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1605
1606 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1607
1608         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1609         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1610         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1611         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1612         transformer.
1613         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1614         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1615
1616 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1617
1618         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1619
1620 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1621
1622         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1623         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1624         completion.
1625
1626         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1627         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1628
1629         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1630         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1631         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1632
1633         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1634
1635 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1636
1637         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1638
1639         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1640         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1641
1642 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1643
1644         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1645
1646 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1647
1648         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1649         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1650
1651         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1652
1653         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1654         obsolete.
1655
1656 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1657
1658         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1659         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1660
1661 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1662
1663         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1664
1665 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1666
1667         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1668         Stachowiak.)
1669
1670 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1671
1672         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1673         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1674         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1675         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1676         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1677         threads.
1678
1679 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1680
1681         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1682         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1683         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1684
1685 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1686
1687         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1688
1689         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1690         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1691
1692 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1693
1694         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1695         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1696         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1697         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1698         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1699         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1700         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1701         to go here.
1702
1703 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1704
1705         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1706         is now a fluid.
1707
1708 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1709
1710         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1711         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1712         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1713         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1714         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1715         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1716
1717 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1718
1719         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1720         usefully so they will work from a script.
1721
1722 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1723
1724         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1725         neighborhood of the record code.
1726
1727 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1728
1729         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1730         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1731         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1732         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1733
1734 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1735
1736         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1737         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1738         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1739
1740 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1741
1742         Add support for readline function.
1743         * readline.scm: New module.
1744         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1745         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1746         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1747         anything.
1748         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1749         repl-reader to use them.
1750         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1751
1752         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1753
1754 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1755
1756         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1757         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1758
1759 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1760
1761         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1762         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1763         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1764
1765 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1766
1767         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1768         #f, abort terminates the process.
1769         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1770         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1771
1772 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1773
1774         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1775         print-state, throw it away.
1776
1777 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1778
1779         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1780         `0'.
1781
1782 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1783
1784         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1785         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1786         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1787         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1788         user field).
1789         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1790         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1791
1792 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1793
1794         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1795
1796 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1797
1798         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1799         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1800         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1801         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1802         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1803         boot-9.scm.
1804         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1805         distribution and installation.
1806         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1807
1808 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1809
1810         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1811
1812 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1813
1814         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1815         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1816         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1817
1818         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1819         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1820         symbol.
1821
1822 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1823
1824         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1825
1826         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1827
1828 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1829
1830         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1831         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1832         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1833         field a separate argument.
1834

1840
1841         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

1850
1851         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1852         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1853         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1854         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1855         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1856         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1857         registered.
1858         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1859         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1860         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1861         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1862         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically

1875
1876         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1877
1878         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1879         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1880         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1881         expansion inside the slib module.
1882
1883         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

1891         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1892
1893         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1894         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1895         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1896         source.
1897         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1898         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1899         been loaded.

1915         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1916         module.
1917         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1918
1919 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1920
1921         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1922
1923         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1924         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1925         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1926         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1927         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.

1930         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as

1934         the syncase interface.
1935
1936 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1937
1938         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1939         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1940         workings of the current module system).
1941
1942 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1943
1944         * psyntax.ss: Updated.

1955
1956         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1957         according to the following priorities:
1958         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1959         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1960         3. tcl bindings
1961         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1962         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1963         (new-interpreter): New function.
1964
1965         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1966         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1967         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

1984
1985         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1986         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1987         source!
1988

1999
2000         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2001         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2002         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2003         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;

2020
2021         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2022         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2023         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2024
2025         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
2026
2027         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
2028         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by

2042
2043         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2044         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2045         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2046
2047         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2048         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2049         the top.

2052         order to narrow it correctly.

2062         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.

2064 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2065
2066         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2067         builtin `with-fluids*'.
2068
2069 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2070
2071         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2072         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
2073         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2074
2075 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2087
2088 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2089
2090         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
2091         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
2092         a default of /.
2093
2094         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
2095

2108         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2109         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
2110         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2111         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2112         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2113
2114         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2115         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2116         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2117         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2118
2119 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2120
2121         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2122         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
2123         sending in bug reports.
2124         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2125         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2126         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2127         display a warning if the two are different.
2128         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2129         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.

2131
2132 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

2140
2141         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2142         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2143         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2144         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2145         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2146         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2147         that's okay.
2148
2149         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
2150         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2151         regexp interface.
2152
2153         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2154         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
2155
2156         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2157         function names.
2158

2163
2164         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2165         ../configure.in.
2166
2167 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2168
2169         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2170         vtable and not the one of the struct.
2171
2172 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2173
2174         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2175         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2176         to support printing of structures.
2177         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2178         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
2179         commented out printing code.
2180         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2181         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2182
2183 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2184
2185         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2186
2187 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2188
2189         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2190         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2191         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2192         during call to scm-style-repl.
2193
2194 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2195
2196         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2197         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2198         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2199         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
2200         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
2201
2202 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2203
2204         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2205         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2206         (ice-9 regex).
2207
2208 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2209
2210         * regex.scm: New file.
2211         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2212         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2213
2214 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2215
2216         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2217         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2218         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2219         threads.scm: New address for FSF.
2220
2221 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2222
2223         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2224         in 1997.
2225
2226 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2227
2228         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2229         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
2230         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2231
2232 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2233
2234         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2235         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2236         here.
2237
2238 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2239
2240         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2241
2242 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2243
2244         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2245
2246 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2247
2248         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2249         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2250         fixes this too.
2251
2252 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2253
2254         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2255         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2256         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
2257
2258 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2259
2260         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2261         the Scheme code like code yet.
2262         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2263
2264 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2265
2266         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2267         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
2268         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2269
2270 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2271
2272         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2273         use-modules macro
2274         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2275         can't be found.
2276
2277 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2278
2279         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2280
2281 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2282
2283         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2284
2285         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2286         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2287         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2288
2289 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2290
2291         Get 'make dist' to work again.
2292         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2293         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2294
2295         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2296         no plugins.
2297         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2298         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2299
2300 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2301
2302         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2303         functions.
2304
2305 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2306
2307         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2308
2309 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2310
2311         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2312         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2313
2314 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2315
2316         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2317         instead of in libguile.
2318         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2319         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2320
2321 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2322
2323         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2324         procedures.
2325         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2326         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2327
2328 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2329
2330         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2331         sockaddr:port): new functions.
2332
2333 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2334
2335         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2336         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2337         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2338         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2339
2340 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2341
2342         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2343         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2344
2345 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2346
2347         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2348
2349 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2350
2351         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2352         keywords and symbols.
2353
2354 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2355
2356         * slib.scm: update read usage.
2357
2358         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2359         Don't define read-sharp.
2360
2361         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2362         (read-sharp): removed.
2363         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2364         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2365
2366 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2367
2368         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2369
2370         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
2371         primitive procedure.)
2372
2373         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2374         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2375
2376 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2377
2378         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2379
2380 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2381
2382         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2383
2384 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2385
2386         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2387         read gets EOF.
2388         * (exit): alias for quit.
2389
2390 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2391
2392         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2393         return the quit args.
2394         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2395         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
2396         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2397
2398         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2399
2400 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2401
2402         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2403
2404         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2405         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2406
2407         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2408         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2409
2410         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2411         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2412         of handlers.
2413
2414 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2415
2416         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2417
2418         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2419         (add-hooks!): New macro.
2420         Change hooks to use these functions.
2421
2422         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
2423         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2424         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2425         the source! :-)
2426         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2427         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2428         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2429         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2430         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2431         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2432         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2433         traced.
2434
2435         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2436         and exit-frame exceptions.
2437
2438         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2439         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2440         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2441         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2442         result; otherwise display "> ".
2443         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2444
2445         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2446         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2447         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2448         repository version runnable.
2449
2450 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2451
2452         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2453         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2454         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2455         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2456         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2457         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2458
2459 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2460
2461         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2462         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2463         and eval.
2464         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2465         "defined?".
2466         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2467         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2468
2469 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2470
2471         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2472
2473 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2474
2475         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2476         %read-sharp layer.
2477
2478 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2479
2480         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2481         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2482
2483 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2484
2485         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2486         backtrace.c.)
2487
2488 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2489
2490         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2491         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2492
2493 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2494
2495         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2496
2497         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2498         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2499         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2500         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2501         dynamic linking of modules.
2502         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2503         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2504
2505 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2506
2507         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2508
2509 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2510
2511         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2512         that's what it is.
2513
2514         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2515         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2516         was false.
2517
2518 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2519
2520         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2521         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2522         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.

2524 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2525
2526         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2527         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2528         yet.
2529
2530 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2531
2532         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2533         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2534         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2535
2536 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2537
2538         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2539         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2540         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2541         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2542
2543         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2544         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2545         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2546         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2547         (such as the-scm-module).
2548
2549 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2550
2551         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2552         %search-load-path.
2553
2554 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2555
2556         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2557         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2558         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2559
2560 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2561
2562         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2563         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2564         function, use it accordingly.
2565
2566 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2567
2568         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2569         function of no arguments.
2570         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2571         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2572         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2573         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2574         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2575         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2576         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2577         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2578
2579 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2580
2581         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2582         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2583
2584 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2585
2586         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2587         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2588         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2589         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2590         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2591
2592         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2593         `*features*'.
2594
2595         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2596         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2597         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2598         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2599
2600         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2601
2602         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2603
2604         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2605         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2606         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2607
2608         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2609         error.
2610
2611         Added `before-read-hook'.
2612
2613         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2614
2615         (provide): New function.
2616
2617         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2618         in backtraces.
2619
2620         (backtrace): New function.
2621
2622         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2623         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2624         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2625         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2626         is found in operator position in a frame.
2627
2628         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2629         by default.
2630
2631         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2632         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2633         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2634
2635         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2636
2637         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2638
2639         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2640
2641         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2642
2643 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2644
2645         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2646
2647         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2648         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2649
2650         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2651         so they'll get distributed.
2652
2653         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2654         should see as little clutter as possible.
2655         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2656         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2657         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2658
2659         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2660         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2661         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2662         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2663         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2664         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2665         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2666         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2667         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2668         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2669         that are not.
2670         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2671         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2672
2673         * test.scm: New file.
2674
2675         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2676         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2677         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2678
2679         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2680         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2681
2682         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2683         work now.
2684         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2685         call %load-announce.
2686
2687 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2688
2689         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2690         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2691         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2692         components.
2693         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2694
2695 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2696
2697         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2698         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2699         SCSH (which this isn't).
2700
2701 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2702
2703         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2704
2705 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2706
2707         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2708         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2709         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2710         these.
2711         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2712         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2713         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2714         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2715         save-stack.
2716
2717 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2718
2719         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2720
2721         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2722
2723         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2724         error-catching-loop.
2725         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2726         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2727         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2728
2729         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2730         error-catching-loop.
2731
2732 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2733
2734         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2735         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2736         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2737         should be '(), not #f.
2738
2739         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2740         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2741
2742 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2743
2744         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2745         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2746         error-signal.
2747
2748 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2749
2750         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2751         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2752         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2753         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2754
2755 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2756
2757         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2758
2759 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2760
2761         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2762
2763         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2764         throw-handler-default.
2765         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2766         reported.
2767         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2768         acro.
2769         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2770         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2771
2772 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2773
2774         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2775         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2776         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2777         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2778
2779 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2780
2781         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2782         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2783         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2784         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2785         ...))
2786         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2787         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2788         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2789         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2790         file-is-directory?
2791
2792 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2793
2794         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2795
2796         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2797         distribution.
2798
2799         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2800         `switch-repl'.
2801
2802         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2803
2804 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2805
2806         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2807         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2808
2809 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2810
2811         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2812
2813         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2814
2815 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2816
2817         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2818         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2819         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2820         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2821         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2822
2823         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2824         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2825         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2826         they seem redundant.
2827         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2828         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2829         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2830         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2831         directly files starting with "/").
2832         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2833         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2834
2835         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2836
2837 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2838
2839         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2840         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2841         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2842         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2843         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2844         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2845         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2846         robust to just do it in the C code.
2847
2848 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2849
2850         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2851         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2852         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2853         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2854         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2855
2856 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2857
2858         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2859         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support

2911
2912         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2913         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other

2953         for these.
