10 2004-02-09 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

18 * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES),
19 debugger/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES), Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES): Use
20 this variable instead of ETAGS_ARGS so that TAGS can be built
21 using separate build directory.
23 2004-01-20 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
25 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Back out 2003-11-19 change to

36 accordance with slib spec.
38 Revert this, it breaks test-suite/tests/r5rs_pitfalls.test where

41 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
42 to depend on expansion environment.

57 to depend on expansion environment.
59 * slib.scm (-1+, <?, <=?, =?, >?, >=?): Define as aliases for 1-, <,
60 <=, =, >, >= respectively, required by slib 'rev2-procedures but no
61 longer in the guile core.
63 2003-11-19 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
65 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Defer lookup of

110 2003-10-09 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
112 * poe.scm (funcq-assoc): Rewrite, don't assume '() is false, and
113 actually traverse the given alist.
115 2003-10-06 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
117 * debugger/ui-client.scm (handle-instruction): Add evaluation
121 2003-10-04 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
123 * debugger/ui-client.scm (ui-disable-async-thread,
124 ui-continue-async-thread, start-async-ui-thread): New.
125 (ui-command-loop): Call ui-disable-async-thread and
126 ui-continue-async-thread.
127 (handle-instruction): Read terminating newline char so it doesn't
128 cause following select to pop immediately.

135 2003-09-24 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
137 * debugger.scm (default-default-lazy-handler, debug-on-error):

159 2003-09-13 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
161 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?): Use stat rather than access?, so as to
162 follow the effective UID/GID not the real ID. file-exists? is
163 normally used as a prelude to opening or some other operation, and
164 it's the effective ID which will apply there. Emacs file-exists-p
165 uses stat, presumably for the the same reason.
167 2003-09-12 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
169 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Use a proper hashtable as
170 the obarray, not an empty vector.
171 (make-module): Always construct a hashtable for the obarray, even

175 'format' since the latter will lock the mutex again that we have
177 (format:format-work): Flag multiple '#' as an error.
179 2003-08-17 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
181 * boot-9.scm (while): Use a new key dynamically for each loop, so
182 break and continue associate to their loop even when recursing.
184 2003-08-14 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
186 * boot-9.scm (while): Rewrite, continue as proper escape, break
187 without return value, break and continue new for each while form,
188 don't depend on bindings in expansion environment.
190 * popen.scm (open-process): Close input-fdes, output-fdes and
191 error-fdes after duping them to 0, 1 and 2.
193 2003-06-19 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
195 * threads.scm (parallel): For no forms, use `(values)' not `(begin)'.

202 2003-05-20 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

214 instead of substring-move-left! or substring-move-right!. Thanks
217 * deprecated.scm (substring-move-left!, substring-move-right!):
220 * boot-9.scm (display-usage-report): Use keyword->symbol instead
221 of keyword-symbol, which doesn't exist. Thanks to Kevin Ryde.
223 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-get-handle): Pass only the expected four
224 arguments to hashx-get-handle. Thanks to Kevin Ryde!
226 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port) Pass 0 as second
227 argument to string-ref. Thanks to Kevin Ryde!
229 2003-04-25 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
231 * serialize.scm: New file.
233 2003-04-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

257 2003-03-19 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
259 * format.scm (format:out-substr): Update the column counter
260 correctly. This fixes the behavior of ~T (tabbing) after ~F, for
261 instance. Thanks to Matthias Koeppe!
263 2003-03-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
265 * session.scm (apropos): Don't look in duplicates interface.
267 2003-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
269 * boot-9.scm (duplicate-handlers): Make sure the merge-generics
270 and merge-accessors handlers are available also before (oop goops)
271 has been loaded. This is so that people can put them as default
272 handlers without worrying about availability.

375 expression before trying to treat it as a Guile macro call.
376 (Thanks to Kevin Ryde.)
378 2003-01-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

403 in output. (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be

484 removing it in my patch from 2002-11-16.
486 2002-11-24 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
488 Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
491 * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
493 (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
496 * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
497 until Guile supports hygienic macros.
499 2002-11-17 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
501 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
502 has been removed from the core.

521 2002-11-07 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

548 it is not thread-safe.

553 value will be returned by join-thread.
555 2002-10-26 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

565 (debug): Rewrite to use more general `debug-stack'.
567 * debugger/commands.scm, debugger/command-loop.scm,
568 debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits

621 2002-10-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
623 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to
624 limit the signal stack.
626 2002-09-15 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
628 * boot-9.scm (feature?): Added deprecation message.
630 2002-09-14 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

706 Thanks to Christopher Cramer.
708 2002-02-24 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
710 * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
711 properties. This is in preparation for changing the future public
712 gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
714 * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.
716 2002-02-07 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@giblet.glug.org>

724 (psyntax.pp): Use $(preinstguile).
726 2002-01-14 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
728 * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
729 datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
730 syntax-object, is an identifier. This was a unconvenient and
731 unnecessary restriction. Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
733 2002-01-12 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
735 More options for pretty-print. Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
737 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
738 (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
739 used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
741 2001-11-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
743 * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have

754 2001-10-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
756 * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
757 (*features*): Extend. (Probably some of these options should be

761 channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,

765 safe.scm, session.scm, slib.scm, streams.scm, string-fun.scm,
766 syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
767 `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
768 into the `define-module' form. This is the recommended way of
771 2001-10-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
773 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
776 2001-10-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
778 * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
779 of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
780 the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
781 interfering with parsing of numbers.)
783 2001-10-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
785 * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
786 %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,
787 %%apropos-internal): Use module-define! instead of
790 2001-09-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
792 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.
794 2001-09-19 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@glug.org>

803 $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
805 2001-09-08 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
807 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
808 the `arglist' procedure property.
809 * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
810 present a more detailed argument list.
812 Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
814 2001-09-07 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
816 * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
817 bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option. Thanks to Daniel
820 2001-08-31 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
822 * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
824 (feature?): Deprecated.

835 (module-make-local-var!, module-ensure-local-variable!,
836 module-define!): Eliminate call to `variable-set-name-hint!´.

846 * optargs.scm: Remove #& reader extension.
848 2001-08-31 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
850 * and-let-star-compat.scm: Deleted.
852 * Makefile.am: Remove references to and-let-star-compat.scm.
854 2001-08-30 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
856 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
857 interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
858 not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
860 2001-08-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
862 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
863 interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
865 2001-08-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
867 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".
869 2001-08-12 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
871 * getopt-long.scm: Rewrite.
875 2001-08-02 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
877 * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
878 last-command fluid is not yet set.
880 2001-08-02 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
882 * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
884 (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
885 value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
886 next element is to be taken as the option arg.
888 2001-07-31 Keisuke Nishida <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
890 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
891 handle :use-syntax correctly.
893 2001-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
895 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
898 2001-07-23 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
900 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
901 maintainer mode. Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
902 Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
903 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
904 * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
906 2001-07-18 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
908 * and-let-star.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm, history.scm,
909 lineio.scm, null.scm, optargs.scm, r4rs.scm, r5rs.scm,
910 receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
912 2001-07-17 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
914 * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
915 primitives. Thanks Neil!
917 2001-07-13 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
919 * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
920 re-exported core bindings. Do not re-export `numerator',
921 `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
922 Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
924 * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
925 core bindings. Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
926 since there aren't definitions for them.
928 * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
929 argument is "renamer" not "rename".
931 2001-07-09 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
933 * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
934 is #f. Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
936 2001-07-06 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
938 * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
939 extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
941 2001-06-30 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
943 * arrays.scm: Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b': #b
944 is already defined by R5RS. Further, there is already a working
945 read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
947 2001-06-30 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
949 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
951 * tags.scm: Removed file.
953 2001-06-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
955 Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
956 is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
958 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
959 whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
960 (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
963 2001-06-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
965 * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
966 was a cut-n-paste error previously.
968 2001-06-26 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
970 * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
971 Don't reset trace-level to 0.
973 * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
974 apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler. (They're replaced by
975 evaluator trap options.)
977 2001-06-25 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
979 * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.
981 2001-06-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
983 * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax): New.
985 2001-06-16 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
987 * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
989 2001-06-14 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
991 * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
992 `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
994 2001-06-13 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
997 No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
998 Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
999 No longer require `pretty-print'.
1001 (slib:error): Delete.
1002 (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
1004 Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
1009 Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
1013 2001-06-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1015 * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
1016 `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
1017 rdelim) module. See below.
1019 2001-06-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1021 * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
1022 include-deprecated-features is true.
1024 2001-06-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1026 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
1029 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
1030 real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
1031 Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1033 * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
1034 (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
1035 `port', if it has one. Else leave it alone. Thanks to Matthias
1038 2001-06-05 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1040 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
1041 `module-ensure-variable!'. Make sure that there really is a local
1042 variable, not just a visible one.
1043 (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
1044 (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
1045 enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable. When
1046 deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
1047 creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
1048 (module-re-export!): New. Use this for re-exporting imported
1050 (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
1052 * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
1053 re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
1055 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1057 * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
1058 instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
1060 2001-06-04 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1062 * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
1064 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1066 Added exception notice to all files.
1068 * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change. It
1069 caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
1070 importing bindings once in a while.
1072 2001-06-03 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1074 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
1075 and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
1076 (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1077 registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
1078 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
1079 find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
1080 try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
1081 try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated. Activate deprecation
1083 (define-public): Define binding before exporting it. This is to
1084 avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
1086 2001-06-02 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1088 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
1089 fix command so that it works.
1091 * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
1092 to access unbound variables.
1094 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
1095 (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
1096 export. Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
1097 the value over, and export the new variable. This confused
1098 syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
1100 2001-06-01 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1102 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
1103 When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules. Add
1104 them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
1105 (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
1106 (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
1107 (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
1108 argument for process-define-module.
1109 (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
1110 arguments for process-use-modules.
1111 (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
1113 2001-05-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1115 * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
1116 `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
1117 Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
1120 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
1121 * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
1122 (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
1124 * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.
1126 2001-05-23 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1128 * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
1130 (cond-expand): Use feature information associated with modules.
1132 2001-05-21 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

1135 (cond-expand-provide): New procedure.
1137 2001-05-22 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1139 * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
1140 (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when
1141 getting the syntax transformer. Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1143 2001-05-21 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1145 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
1146 deprecated features have been removed. Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
1148 * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
1151 2001-05-19 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1153 * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
1154 * match.scm: Likewise.
1155 * expect.scm: Likewise.
1156 * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
1158 * rdelim.scm: Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
1160 * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
1162 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
1164 (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
1165 (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
1166 load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here. Do it on
1167 top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
1168 (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
1169 element list when adding "." to it.
1170 (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
1171 dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
1173 2001-05-18 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1175 * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
1177 (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'

1239 `set-current-module' call.
1240 (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
1241 set-current-module. It is redefined later.

1475 make-buffered-input-port.
1477 2001-03-09 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

1540 `interaction-evironment'.
1541 (define-public, defmacro-public): Use `export' instead of explicit

1544 (define-module, use-modules, use-syntax, export): Use it to
1545 restrict the use of these forms to the top level.

1612 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
1613 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
1614 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1615 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1616 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1617 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1618 for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
1620 2000-12-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1622 * session.scm (apropos): Completed the last patch, which did only
1623 half the job. Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
1625 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1627 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): There are no weak bindings
1630 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1632 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
1635 2000-12-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1637 * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
1639 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1641 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
1642 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
1643 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
1644 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
1645 split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,

1650 string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
1651 sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
1652 sans-final-newline): Use substring instead of
1653 make-shared-substring.
1655 2000-11-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1657 * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1658 removed. values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1659 the other two were only exported by accident. don't define
1660 *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1663 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1665 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
1666 and open-output-pipe.
1668 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1670 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1671 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1672 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
1673 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
1674 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1675 Pirotte for the bug report).
1676 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1677 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
1679 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1681 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.

1699 2000-09-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1701 * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1702 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1703 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1705 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1706 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1707 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1708 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1709 actual documentation entries themselves.
1711 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1713 * boot-9.scm: Removed comment. (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)

1725 getter-and-setter-syntax,
1726 delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
1727 argument. (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
1729 * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.

1733 2000-08-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1735 * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
1737 2000-08-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1739 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
1741 (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1743 (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed. I don't
1744 think I'll announce this in NEWS even. One of the functions never
1745 even worked... /mdj.
1746 (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1748 (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1751 2000-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1753 * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax

1774 2000-08-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1776 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1777 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
1778 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1779 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1780 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1782 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1784 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1786 * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition. (Is now
1787 provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1789 * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1792 * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1793 record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1794 (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto. (This is actually a bugfix!)
1795 (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1797 * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
1799 * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
1800 (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
1802 * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
1804 * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1805 (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1807 2000-08-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1809 * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1810 definition of module-type.
1812 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1814 * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1816 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1818 (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1819 *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1821 2000-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1823 * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to thi!
1825 2000-07-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1827 * boot-9.scm (expt): In case of negative integer exponents return
1828 an exact result if the input paramters were exact. Thanks to
1829 Mikael for the suggestion.
1831 2000-07-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1833 * boot-9.scm (expt): Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1834 if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1836 2000-07-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1838 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1841 2000-06-27 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1843 * popen.scm: gc-thunk is deprecated. Use after-gc-hook instead.
1845 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1847 * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1848 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber
1851 (delete-if!, delete-if-not!): Renamed parameter from `list' to
1852 `l' in order to avoid confusion. Note: These functions are not
1855 2000-06-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1857 * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1858 and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1860 * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1861 (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1862 (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1864 (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1866 * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1868 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1870 * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1871 module graph. (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1873 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1875 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1876 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1878 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1880 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
1881 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1883 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1885 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1887 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1889 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1891 2000-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

1895 (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1896 (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1898 (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1900 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1903 * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1904 (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1905 (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1906 (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1909 * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1911 * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1913 2000-06-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1915 * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1916 (write-all): Removed.
1917 (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'. Return
1918 documentation string instead of printing it. Not exported.
1920 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
1922 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1923 `proc-documentation'
1925 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
1926 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1927 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1928 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1929 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1930 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1931 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1934 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1936 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
1938 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1940 * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1941 anonymous. Now needed in modules.c.
1942 (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1945 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1947 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
1948 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1949 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
1950 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
1951 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1952 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1953 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1955 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1957 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
1958 accept complex numbers as parameter.
1960 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1962 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1963 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
1965 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1967 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1968 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1969 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1970 instead of remove-if when iterating.
1971 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1972 delete-if! when iterating.
1974 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1976 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1978 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1980 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
1982 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1984 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1985 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
1986 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1987 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1989 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1991 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
1992 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1994 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1996 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
1997 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1998 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
1999 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
2001 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
2003 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
2004 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
2006 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2008 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
2009 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
2011 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2013 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
2016 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2018 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
2019 source of the numerous very short changes.
2021 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2023 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
2026 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
2029 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2031 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
2034 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2036 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
2037 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
2039 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
2041 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
2044 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
2046 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
2047 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
2048 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
2050 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2052 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
2053 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
2054 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
2055 Narazaki for this change.
2057 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2059 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
2060 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
2063 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
2064 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
2066 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2068 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
2069 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
2071 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2073 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
2074 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
2075 use define-public to export from the module.
2077 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2079 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
2080 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
2081 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
2083 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2085 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
2087 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2089 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
2090 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
2092 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2094 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
2096 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
2098 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
2100 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2102 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
2103 long_long uniform vectors.
2105 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2107 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
2108 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
2110 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2112 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
2113 script to create generated files like this one.
2115 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2117 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
2118 available before using getpw and getuid.
2119 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
2120 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
2122 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
2123 check for .guile, instead of stat.
2124 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
2126 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
2127 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
2128 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
2130 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
2131 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
2133 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
2135 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2137 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
2138 than 'exit-debugger.
2140 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
2141 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
2143 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
2145 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2147 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
2148 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
2149 ("position"): New command.
2150 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
2151 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
2152 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
2153 to return a valid state.)
2154 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
2156 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2158 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
2159 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
2162 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2164 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
2165 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
2167 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2169 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
2171 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
2173 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
2174 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
2176 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
2177 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
2178 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
2180 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
2183 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2185 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
2186 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
2188 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
2190 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2192 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
2193 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
2194 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
2195 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
2197 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
2200 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
2201 both forward and backward views of the stack
2202 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
2203 Use selector `frame-number';
2204 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
2205 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
2207 Use readline conditionally.
2209 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2211 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
2212 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
2213 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
2215 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
2216 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
2219 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2221 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
2223 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
2225 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
2227 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2229 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2231 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
2232 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
2233 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
2234 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
2235 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
2236 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
2237 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
2238 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
2239 libguile-config-stamp.
2240 * version.scm.in: Delete.
2241 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
2242 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
2243 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
2244 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
2246 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2248 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
2249 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
2250 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
2252 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
2253 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
2254 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
2255 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
2258 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
2260 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
2262 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
2264 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2266 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
2267 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
2269 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
2271 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
2272 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
2273 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
2274 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
2275 objects starting with '#/'.
2277 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2279 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
2280 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
2281 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
2282 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
2283 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
2284 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
2286 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
2287 module-modified): New procedures.
2288 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
2289 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
2291 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2293 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
2296 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2298 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
2299 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
2300 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2302 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
2305 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2307 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
2308 at multiple calls to read.
2309 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
2310 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
2311 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
2312 continued-lines prompt.
2314 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
2315 reading expressions.
2317 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2319 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
2320 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2322 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2324 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
2325 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
2328 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2330 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
2331 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
2333 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
2334 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
2335 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
2336 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
2337 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
2340 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2342 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
2343 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2345 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
2347 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
2348 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
2349 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
2350 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
2352 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
2354 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2356 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
2357 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
2358 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
2361 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2363 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
2364 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
2365 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
2366 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
2367 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
2368 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2369 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
2370 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
2371 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
2372 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2373 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
2375 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2377 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
2378 peeked from the stream.
2379 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
2380 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
2381 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
2383 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2385 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
2386 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
2388 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2390 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2391 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
2392 exiting repl with single control-D.
2394 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2396 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2397 error catching loop after quit received.
2398 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2400 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2401 primitive exit if non-interactive.
2402 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2404 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2405 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2407 * popen.scm: new file.
2409 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2411 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
2412 (reverse-iota): removed.
2414 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2416 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
2417 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
2419 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2421 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2422 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2423 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2424 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2425 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2427 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2429 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2431 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2432 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2434 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2435 Guile's module system.
2437 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2439 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2440 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2441 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2442 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
2443 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2444 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2446 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2447 '() when the condition is false.
2449 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2451 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2453 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2455 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2457 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2459 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2460 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2461 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2463 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2465 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2466 argument order for hash-fold.
2468 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2470 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
2472 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2473 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2475 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2476 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2477 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2478 has been added to the load path).
2480 Use try-load-module.
2482 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2484 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
2485 module between system and user state.
2487 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2489 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2491 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2494 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2496 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2497 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2498 system can create a wrapper class for it.
2500 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2502 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2503 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
2504 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2505 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2506 stack frame encountered.
2508 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2509 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2510 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2511 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2514 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2515 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2516 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2517 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
2520 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2521 define-module switches:
2523 (define-module (foo)
2526 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2529 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2530 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2531 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
2532 module it is a system frame.
2534 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2535 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2536 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2537 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
2538 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2540 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2541 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
2542 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2543 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2544 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
2545 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2547 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2548 status of a module.;
2549 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2550 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2552 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2553 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2554 closure to the module.
2556 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2558 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2560 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
2562 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2564 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
2566 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2568 Fix from Russ McManus:
2569 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2570 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2571 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2572 either an optional or required value.
2574 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2576 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2578 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2579 of the '() key, not `rest'.
2581 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2582 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2583 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2584 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2586 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2588 * optargs.scm: New file.
2589 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2590 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2592 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2594 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2595 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2596 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2598 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2600 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2601 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2604 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2606 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2608 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2610 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2611 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2612 applied to the module itself.
2614 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2616 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2618 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
2619 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2621 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2623 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2625 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2627 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2629 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
2631 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2632 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2634 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2636 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2637 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2638 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2639 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2640 among BINDINGS is referenced.
2641 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
2642 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2644 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2646 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2647 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2649 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
2651 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2652 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2655 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2657 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2659 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2661 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2663 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2665 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2666 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2667 adapt to the new hooks.
2669 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2671 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2672 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
2673 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2675 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2676 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2678 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2679 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2680 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2681 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2682 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2683 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2684 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2685 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2686 first to register linked modules.
2688 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2689 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2690 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2692 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2693 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2694 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2695 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2697 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2699 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2702 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2703 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2704 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2706 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2708 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2709 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2710 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2712 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2714 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
2715 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2716 result of the last form.
2718 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2720 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2723 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2725 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2726 readline-set!: New options interface.
2728 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2730 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2732 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2733 at the end of boot-9.scm.
2735 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2737 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2738 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2740 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2742 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2743 interactive session.
2744 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2746 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2747 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2749 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2751 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2753 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2755 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2756 read line was empty.
2758 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2760 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2761 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2763 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2765 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2767 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2768 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2769 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2771 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2772 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2774 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2775 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2776 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2778 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2779 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2780 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
2781 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2782 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2783 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2785 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2787 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2788 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2790 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2792 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2793 and short vectors #h(...).
2795 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2797 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2798 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2799 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2801 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2803 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2804 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
2805 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2807 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2809 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2810 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2812 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2813 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
2814 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
2815 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2817 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2819 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2822 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2823 order to allow the empty list as arg.
2824 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2825 context with traps enabled.
2827 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2829 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2831 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2833 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2835 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2836 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2837 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
2838 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2839 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2841 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2843 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2844 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2846 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2848 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2850 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2852 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2854 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2856 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2858 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2860 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2861 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2863 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2865 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2866 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2867 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2868 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
2871 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2872 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2873 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2875 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2877 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2878 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2879 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2880 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
2881 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2882 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2883 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2885 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2887 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2889 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2891 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2892 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2893 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
2894 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2895 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2896 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2898 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2900 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2901 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2902 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
2905 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2907 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2909 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2911 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2913 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2915 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2918 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2920 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2922 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2924 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2925 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2927 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2929 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2930 similar in use to `use-modules'.
2931 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2932 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2934 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2935 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2937 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2939 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2941 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2943 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2944 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2947 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2948 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2950 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2951 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2952 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2954 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2956 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2958 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2960 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2961 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2963 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2965 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2967 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2969 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
2970 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2972 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2974 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
2977 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2979 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2980 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2982 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2984 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2986 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2988 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
2991 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2993 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2994 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
2995 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2996 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2997 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
3000 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
3002 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
3003 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
3004 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
3006 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
3008 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
3010 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
3011 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
3013 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
3015 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
3016 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
3017 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
3018 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
3019 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
3020 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
3021 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
3024 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3026 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
3029 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
3031 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
3032 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
3033 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
3034 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
3035 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
3036 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
3038 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3040 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
3041 usefully so they will work from a script.
3043 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3045 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
3046 neighborhood of the record code.
3048 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3050 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
3051 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
3052 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
3053 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
3055 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3057 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
3058 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
3059 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3061 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3063 Add support for readline function.
3064 * readline.scm: New module.
3065 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
3066 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
3067 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
3069 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
3070 repl-reader to use them.
3071 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
3073 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
3075 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3077 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3078 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
3080 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3082 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
3083 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
3084 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
3086 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3088 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
3089 #f, abort terminates the process.
3090 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
3091 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
3093 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3095 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
3096 print-state, throw it away.
3098 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3100 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
3103 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3105 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
3106 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
3107 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
3108 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
3110 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
3111 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
3113 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3115 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
3117 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3119 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
3120 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
3121 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
3122 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3123 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
3125 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
3126 distribution and installation.
3127 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3129 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3131 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
3133 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3135 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
3136 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
3137 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
3139 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
3140 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
3143 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3145 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
3147 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
3149 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3151 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
3152 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
3153 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
3154 field a separate argument.
3156 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
3158 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3160 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
3162 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
3166 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3168 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
3170 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3172 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
3173 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
3174 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
3175 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
3176 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
3177 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
3179 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
3180 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
3181 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
3182 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
3183 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
3186 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3188 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
3190 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3192 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
3193 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
3195 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3197 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
3199 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
3200 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
3201 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
3202 expansion inside the slib module.
3204 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
3206 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
3207 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
3208 (let): New core form.
3209 (if): Removed from core language.
3210 (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
3211 (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
3212 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
3214 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
3215 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
3216 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
3218 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
3219 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
3222 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
3224 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
3225 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
3227 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
3229 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
3230 (make-module): Modified initialization.
3231 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
3232 mutator for module-associated transformer.
3233 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
3234 `scm:eval-transformer'.
3235 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
3236 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
3238 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
3240 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3242 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
3244 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
3245 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
3246 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
3247 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
3248 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
3250 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
3251 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
3252 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
3254 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
3255 the syncase interface.
3257 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3259 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
3260 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
3261 workings of the current module system).
3263 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3265 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
3266 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
3269 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3271 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
3272 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
3273 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
3275 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3277 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
3278 according to the following priorities:
3279 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
3280 2. bindings from the-scm-module
3282 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
3283 disabling the scheme interpreter.
3284 (new-interpreter): New function.
3286 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
3287 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
3288 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
3290 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3292 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3294 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3296 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
3298 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3300 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
3302 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
3304 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3306 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
3307 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
3310 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3312 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
3313 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

3315 symbols matching regexp.
3317 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
3318 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
3321 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
3322 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;

3325 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
3327 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
3328 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
3330 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3332 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
3333 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
3335 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
3336 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
3338 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
3340 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3342 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
3343 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
3344 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
3346 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
3348 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

3359 * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
3362 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3364 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
3365 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
3366 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
3368 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
3369 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
3372 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
3373 order to narrow it correctly.
3374 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
3376 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3378 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
3379 (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
3381 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3383 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
3385 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3387 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
3388 builtin `with-fluids*'.
3390 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3392 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3393 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
3394 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
3396 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3398 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
3401 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3403 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
3404 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
3405 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
3406 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
3407 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
3409 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3411 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
3412 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
3415 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
3417 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3419 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
3420 poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
3421 notation, instead of #/ notation.
3423 * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
3426 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3428 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3429 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3430 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
3431 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3432 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3433 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3435 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3436 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3437 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3438 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3440 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3442 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3443 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
3444 sending in bug reports.
3445 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3446 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3447 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3448 display a warning if the two are different.
3449 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3450 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3451 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3453 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3455 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
3457 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3459 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3460 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3462 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3463 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3464 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3465 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3466 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3467 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3470 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
3471 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3474 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3475 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
3477 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3480 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3483 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3485 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3488 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3490 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3491 vtable and not the one of the struct.
3493 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3495 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3496 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3497 to support printing of structures.
3498 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3499 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
3500 commented out printing code.
3501 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3502 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
3504 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3506 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3508 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3510 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3511 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3512 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3513 during call to scm-style-repl.
3515 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3517 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3518 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3519 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3520 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
3521 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
3523 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3525 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3526 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3529 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3531 * regex.scm: New file.
3532 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3533 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3535 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3537 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
3538 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
3539 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
3540 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
3542 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3544 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
3547 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3549 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3550 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
3551 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3553 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3555 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3556 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3559 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3561 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3563 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3565 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3567 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3569 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3570 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3573 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3575 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3576 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3577 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
3579 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3581 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3582 the Scheme code like code yet.
3583 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3585 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3587 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3588 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
3589 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3591 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3593 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3595 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3598 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3600 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3602 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3604 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3606 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3607 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3608 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3610 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3612 Get 'make dist' to work again.
3613 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3614 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
3616 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3618 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3619 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3621 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3623 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New

3630 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3632 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3633 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
3635 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3637 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3638 instead of in libguile.
3639 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3640 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3642 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3644 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3646 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3647 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3649 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3651 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3652 sockaddr:port): new functions.
3654 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3656 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3657 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3658 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3659 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3661 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3663 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3664 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3666 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3668 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3670 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3672 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3673 keywords and symbols.
3675 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3677 * slib.scm: update read usage.
3679 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3680 Don't define read-sharp.
3682 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3683 (read-sharp): removed.
3684 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3685 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3687 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3689 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3691 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
3692 primitive procedure.)
3694 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3695 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3697 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3699 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3701 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3703 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3705 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3707 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3709 * (exit): alias for quit.
3711 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3713 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3714 return the quit args.
3715 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3716 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
3717 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3719 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3721 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3723 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3725 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3726 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3728 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3729 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3731 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3732 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3735 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3737 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3739 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3740 (add-hooks!): New macro.
3741 Change hooks to use these functions.
3743 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
3744 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3745 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3747 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3748 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3749 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3750 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
3751 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3752 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3753 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3756 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3757 and exit-frame exceptions.
3759 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3760 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3761 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3762 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3763 result; otherwise display "> ".
3764 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3766 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3767 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3768 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
3769 repository version runnable.
3771 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3773 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3774 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
3775 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3776 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3777 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3778 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3780 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3782 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3783 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3785 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3787 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3788 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
3790 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3792 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3794 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3796 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3799 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3801 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3802 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3804 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3806 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
3809 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3811 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3812 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3814 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3816 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3818 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3819 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3820 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3821 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3822 dynamic linking of modules.
3823 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3824 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3826 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3828 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3830 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3832 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3835 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3836 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
3839 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3841 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3842 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3843 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3845 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3847 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3848 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
3851 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3853 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3854 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3855 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3857 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3859 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3860 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3861 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3862 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3864 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3865 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3866 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3867 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3868 (such as the-scm-module).
3870 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3872 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3875 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
3877 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3878 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3879 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3881 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3883 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3884 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3885 function, use it accordingly.
3887 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3889 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
3890 function of no arguments.
3891 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3892 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3893 set-current-module): Uses changed.
3894 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3895 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3896 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3897 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3898 *top-level-eval-closure*.
3900 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3902 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3903 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3905 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3907 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3908 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3909 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
3910 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
3911 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3913 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3916 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3917 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
3918 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3919 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3921 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3923 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3925 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3926 If the user wants to see this, he can do
3927 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3929 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3932 Added `before-read-hook'.
3934 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3936 (provide): New function.
3938 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3941 (backtrace): New function.
3943 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3944 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3945 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
3946 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3947 is found in operator position in a frame.
3949 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3952 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3953 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3954 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3956 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
3958 (library-vicinity): Updated.
3960 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3962 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3964 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3966 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3968 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3969 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
3971 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3972 so they'll get distributed.
3974 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
3975 should see as little clutter as possible.
3976 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3977 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3978 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3980 * r4rs.scm: New file.
3981 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3982 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3983 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3984 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3985 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3986 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3987 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3988 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3989 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3991 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3992 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3994 * test.scm: New file.
3996 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3997 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
3998 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
4000 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
4001 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
4003 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
4005 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
4006 call %load-announce.
4008 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4010 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
4011 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
4012 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
4014 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
4016 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4018 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
4019 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
4020 SCSH (which this isn't).
4022 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4024 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4026 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4028 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
4029 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
4030 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
4032 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
4033 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
4034 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
4035 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
4038 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4040 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
4042 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
4044 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
4045 error-catching-loop.
4046 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
4047 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
4048 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
4050 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
4051 error-catching-loop.
4053 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4055 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
4056 (make-module): Rework for readability.
4057 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
4058 should be '(), not #f.
4060 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
4061 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
4063 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4065 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
4066 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
4069 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4071 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
4072 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
4073 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
4074 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
4076 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4078 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
4080 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4082 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
4084 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
4085 throw-handler-default.
4086 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
4088 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
4090 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
4091 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
4093 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4095 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
4096 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
4097 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
4098 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
4100 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4102 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
4103 Append "." to the default %load-path.
4104 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
4105 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
4107 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
4108 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
4109 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
4110 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
4113 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
4115 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
4117 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
4120 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
4123 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
4125 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4127 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
4128 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
4130 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4132 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
4134 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
4136 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4138 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
4139 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
4140 Don't set up 'error as a key.
4141 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
4142 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
4144 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
4145 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
4146 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
4147 they seem redundant.
4148 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
4149 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
4150 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
4151 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
4152 directly files starting with "/").
4153 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
4154 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
4156 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
4158 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4160 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
4161 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
4162 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
4163 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
4164 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
4165 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
4166 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
4167 robust to just do it in the C code.
4169 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4171 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
4172 %try-load itself was the primitive.
4173 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
4174 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
4175 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
4177 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
4179 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
4180 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
4181 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
4183 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4185 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
4186 system-error, not every kind of error.
4187 (scm-error): new procedure.
4189 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4191 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4193 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4195 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
4196 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
4197 of args are supplied.
4198 (%%system-errors): removed.
4199 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
4200 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
4201 %%handle-system-error.
4202 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
4203 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
4204 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
4205 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
4207 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4209 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
4210 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
4211 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
4212 %S (embed an argument using "write").
4214 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4216 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
4217 the empty list if they are #f.
4218 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
4220 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4222 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
4224 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
4225 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
4226 aborting, just the key and subr.
4227 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
4228 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
4229 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
4231 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4233 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
4234 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
4235 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
4236 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
4237 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
4239 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4241 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
4242 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
4243 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
4244 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
4246 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4248 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
4249 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
4250 initialize %load-path.
4252 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
4253 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
4255 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4257 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
4258 Add the directory named after the version number.
4259 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
4260 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
4261 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
4262 sitedatadir): New definitions.
4263 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
4264 (install): Create the above directories.
4265 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
4266 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
4268 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4270 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
4271 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
4272 in the Makefile directly.
4273 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
4275 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
4277 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
4278 here, where people expect to find them.
4280 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4282 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
4283 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
4285 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
4287 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4289 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
4290 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
4292 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4294 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
4295 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
4297 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
4298 weak-key-hash-table.
4300 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4302 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
4303 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
4304 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
4305 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
4306 (%open-file): removed.
4307 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
4308 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
4310 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4312 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
4313 (manifest): Deleted.
4314 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
4315 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
4317 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
