   1 2002-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
   2
   3         * format.scm (format:fn-max): Increase to 400 so ~f and ~g can
   4         print long real numbers with large positive and negative
   5         exponents.
   6
   7 2002-05-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
   8
   9         * syncase.scm: Use (ice-9 threads) so that with-mutex is defined.
  10
  11 2002-04-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@giblet.glug.org>
  12
  13         * gap-buffer.scm: New file.
  14
  15         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add gap-buffer.scm.
  16
  17 2002-03-12  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
  18
  19         * syncase.scm: fix bad let.
  20         (gensym): fix failure on non-threaded
  21
  22 2002-03-05  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@giblet.glug.org>
  23
  24         * ftw.scm: New file.
  25
  26         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add ftw.scm.
  27
  28 2002-02-26  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@giblet.glug.org>
  29
  30         * Makefile.am: Update path to pre-inst-guile automake frag.
  31
  32         * boot-9.scm: Comment grammar fixes; nfc.
  33         Thanks to Christopher Cramer.
  34
  35 2002-02-24  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
  36
  37         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
  38         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
  39         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
  40
  41         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.
  42
  43 2002-02-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@giblet.glug.org>
  44
  45         * regex.scm: Add commentary; nfc.
  46
  47 2002-02-05  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@giblet.glug.org>
  48
  49         * Makefile.am: Include $(top_srcdir)/pre-inst-guile.am.

  52
  53 2002-01-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  54
  55         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
  56         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
  57         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
  58         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
  59
  60 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  61
  62         More options for pretty-print.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
  63
  64         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
  65         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
  66         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
  67
  68 2001-11-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  69
  70         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have
  71         these in the core.
  72
  73 2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  74
  75         * boot-9.scm (turn-on-debugging): New function, to be used by
  76         scm_compile_shell_switches.
  77
  78         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
  79         positions.
  80
  81 2001-10-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
  82
  83         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
  84         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
  85         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
  86
  87         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,
  88           channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,
  89           expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, ls.scm, mapping.scm,
  90           null.scm, optargs.scm, poe.scm, popen.scm, pretty-print.scm,
  91           q.scm, r5rs.scm, rdelim.scm, regex.scm, runq.scm, safe-r5rs.scm,
  92           safe.scm, session.scm, slib.scm, streams.scm, string-fun.scm,
  93           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
  94           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
  95           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
  96           exporting bindings.
  97
  98 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
  99
 100         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
 101         :re-export-syntax
 102
 103 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 104
 105         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 106         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 107         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 108         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 109
 110 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 111
 112         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
 113         %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,
 114         %%apropos-internal): Use module-define! instead of
 115         builtin-variable.
 116

 118
 119         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.
 120
 121 2001-09-19  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>
 122
 123         * expect.scm: Commentary fix; nfc.
 124
 125         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
 126
 127 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 128
 129         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 130         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
 131
 132 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 133
 134         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 135         the `arglist' procedure property.
 136         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 137         present a more detailed argument list.
 138
 139         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 140
 141 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 142
 143         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
 144         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel
 145         Skarda.
 146
 147 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 148
 149         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
 150
 151         (feature?): Deprecated.
 152
 153         (id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags,
 154         eval-in-module, split-c-module-name,
 155         (convert-c-registered-modules, registered-modules,
 156         register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation, init-dynamic-module,
 157         dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 158         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 159         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 160         try-module-dynamic-link): Removed.
 161
 162         (module-make-local-var!, module-ensure-local-variable!,
 163         module-define!): Eliminate call to `variable-set-name-hint!´.

 166         functionality.
 167
 168         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
 169         needed to trick export.
 170
 171 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 172
 173         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.
 174
 175 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 176
 177         * and-let-star-compat.scm:  Deleted.

 180
 181 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 182
 183         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
 184         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
 185         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
 186
 187 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 188
 189         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
 190         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
 191

 193
 194         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

 209         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
 210
 211         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'

 214
 215 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
 216
 217         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
 218         handle :use-syntax correctly.
 219
 220 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 221
 222         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
 223         compile-psyntax.scm.
 224
 225 2001-07-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 226
 227         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
 228         maintainer mode.  Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
 229         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
 230         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
 231         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
 232
 233 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 234
 235         * and-let-star.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm, history.scm,
 236         lineio.scm, null.scm, optargs.scm, r4rs.scm, r5rs.scm,
 237         receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
 238
 239 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 240
 241         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 242         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
 243
 244 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 245
 246         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
 247         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
 248         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
 249         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
 250
 251         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 252         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
 253         since there aren't definitions for them.
 254
 255         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
 256         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
 257
 258 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 259
 260         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
 261         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
 262
 263 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 264
 265         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
 266         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
 267
 268 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 269
 270         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
 271         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
 272         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
 273
 274 2001-06-30  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

 284
 285         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
 286         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
 287         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
 288         New.
 289
 290 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 291
 292         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
 293         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
 294
 295 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 296
 297         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
 298         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
 299
 300         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
 301         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
 302         evaluator trap options.)
 303
 304 2001-06-25  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 305
 306         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.
 307

 309

 311
 312 2001-06-16  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 313
 314         * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
 315
 316 2001-06-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 317
 318         * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
 319         `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
 320
 321 2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 322
 323         * match.scm:
 324         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
 325         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
 326         No longer require `pretty-print'.
 327
 328         (slib:error): Delete.
 329         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
 330
 331         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
 332
 333         * README: New file.
 334
 335         * common-list.scm:
 336         Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
 337         Add Commentary.
 338         Update copyright.
 339
 340 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 341
 342         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
 343         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
 344         rdelim) module.  See below.
 345
 346 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 347
 348         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
 349         include-deprecated-features is true.
 350
 351 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 352
 353         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
 354         unknown objects.
 355
 356         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
 357         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
 358         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 359
 360         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
 361         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
 362         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
 363         Köppe!
 364
 365 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 366
 367         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
 368         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
 369         variable, not just a visible one.
 370         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
 371         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
 372         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
 373         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
 374         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
 375         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
 376         variables.
 377         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
 378
 379         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
 380         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
 381
 382 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 383
 384         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
 385         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
 386
 387 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 388
 389         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
 390
 391 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 392
 393         Added exception notice to all files.
 394
 395         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
 396         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
 397         importing bindings once in a while.
 398
 399 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 400
 401         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
 402         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
 403         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 404         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
 405         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 406         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 407         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 408         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
 409         message.
 410         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
 411         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
 412
 413 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 414
 415         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
 416         fix command so that it works.

 418         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
 419         to access unbound variables.
 420
 421         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
 422         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
 423         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
 424         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
 425         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
 426
 427 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 428
 429         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
 430         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
 431         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
 432         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
 433         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
 434         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
 435         argument for process-define-module.

 437         arguments for process-use-modules.

 491         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
 492         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
 493         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on

 507         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.

 512         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
 513         `search-documentation-files'.
 514         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'

 544         (apropos-fold): Likewise.

 549         the default default for bindings.
 550
 551         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
 552         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.

 557         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 558         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.  Set the
 559         eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
 560         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
 561         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 562         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
 563         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
 564         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
 565         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
 566         `set-current-module' call.
 567         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
 568         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.

 604         (process-define-module): Use "define-module" in error messages
 605         instead of "defmodule".  Factor error into internal proc.
 606         Rewrite `use-module' and `use-syntax' handlers.
 607         Replace some single-arm `if-not' constructs w/ `or'.
 608         (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
 609         which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
 610         (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use

 798         buffered input procedure.  Does not assume that a newline

 829

 848
 849         * boot-9.scm (save-stack): Use `primitive-eval' for stack
 850         cutting.  Makes backtraces work again!  Also added a reference to
 851         save-stack from the place in the repl where the primitive-eval
 852         frame is invoked.
 853
 854 2001-02-25  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

 865
 866         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Removed spurious call to

 868         (define-public, defmacro-public): Use `export' instead of explicit
 869         module magic.

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

 895
 896         Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
 897         operating systems.
 898
 899         * and-let-star.scm, and-let*.scm: Renamed `and-let*.scm' to

 904         (install-data-local): Install "and-let-star-compat.scm" as
 905         "and-let*.scm", ignoring errors.
 906         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute `and-let-star-compat.scm'.
 907
 908 2001-01-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 909
 910         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
 911         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
 912
 913         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
 914         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
 915
 916         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
 917         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
 918
 919 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 920
 921         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
 922         in C for now.
 923         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
 924         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
 925
 926 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 927
 928         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
 929         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
 930         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
 931         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
 932         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
 933         for now.
 934         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
 935         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
 936
 937 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 938
 939         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
 940         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
 941         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
 942         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
 943         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
 944         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
 945         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
 946

 948
 949         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only
 950         half the job.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
 951
 952 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 953
 954         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
 955         any more.
 956
 957 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 958
 959         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
 960         the-root-module.
 961
 962 2000-12-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 963

 965
 966 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 967
 968         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
 969         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
 970         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
 971         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
 972         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,

 978         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
 979         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
 980         make-shared-substring.
 981
 982 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 983
 984         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
 985         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
 986         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
 987         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
 988         scm-style-repl.
 989
 990 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 991
 992         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
 993         and open-output-pipe.
 994
 995 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 996
 997         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
 998         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
 999         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1000         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1001         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1002         Pirotte for the bug report).
1003         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1004         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
1005
1006 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1007
1008         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.

1016
1017         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
1018         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
1019         patch.
1020
1021 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1022
1023         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
1024         Jacques A. Vidrine.
1025
1026 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1027
1028         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1029         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1030         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1031
1032         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1033         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1034         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1035         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1036         actual documentation entries themselves.

1049         Convert first argument to a string.
1050
1051         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
1052         getter-and-setter-syntax,
1053         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
1054         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)

1063
1064 2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1065
1066         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
1067         `symbol-append'.
1068         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1069         args.
1070         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1071         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1072         even worked...  /mdj.
1073         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1074         `symbol->string'.
1075         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1076         semantics.
1077
1078 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1103         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1104         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1105         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1106         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1107         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1108
1109         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.

1114         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1115
1116         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1117         syntactic bindings.
1118

1120         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1121         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
1122         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1123

1133
1134 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1135
1136         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to

1141         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1142
1143         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1144         lines.
1145         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1146         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1147
1148 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1149
1150         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
1151
1152 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1153
1154         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
1155         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
1156         Mikael for the suggestion.
1157
1158 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1159
1160         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1161         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1162
1163 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1164
1165         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1166         for export args.
1167
1168 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1169
1170         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
1171
1172 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1173
1174         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1175         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
1176         for the hint.
1177
1178         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
1179         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
1180         tail recursive yet.
1181
1182 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1183
1184         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1185         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1186
1187         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1188         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1189         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1190         See NEWS.
1191         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1192
1193         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1194
1195 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1196
1197         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1198         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1199
1200 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1201
1202         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1203         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1204
1205 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1206
1207         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
1208         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1209
1210 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1211
1212         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1213
1214         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1215
1216         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1217
1218 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1219
1220         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1221         '() instead of #f.
1222         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1223         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1224         `the-root-module'.
1225         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1226
1227         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1228         documentation.scm.
1229
1230         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1231         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1232         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1233         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1234         (help): Rewritten.
1235
1236         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1237
1238         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1239
1240 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1241
1242         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1243         (write-all): Removed.
1244         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
1245         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
1246
1247 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
1248
1249         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1250         `proc-documentation'
1251
1252         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
1253         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1254         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1255         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1256         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1257         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1258         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1259         getter...)
1260
1261 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1262
1263         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
1264
1265 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1266
1267         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1268         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
1269         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1270         closure.
1271
1272 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1273
1274         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
1275         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1276         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
1277         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
1278         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1279         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1280         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1281
1282 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1283
1284         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
1285         accept complex numbers as parameter.
1286
1287 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1288
1289         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1290         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
1291
1292 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1293
1294         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1295         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1296         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1297         instead of remove-if when iterating.
1298         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1299         delete-if! when iterating.
1300
1301 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1302
1303         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1304
1305 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1306
1307         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
1308
1309 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1310
1311         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1312         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
1313         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1314         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1315
1316 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1317
1318         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
1319         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1320
1321 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1322
1323         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
1324         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1325         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
1326         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
1327
1328 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1329
1330         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1331         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1332
1333 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1334
1335         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1336         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1337
1338 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1339
1340         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1341         Dirk Hermann!
1342
1343 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1344
1345         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1346         source of the numerous very short changes.
1347
1348 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1349
1350         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1351         public.
1352
1353         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1354         info pages.
1355
1356 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1357
1358         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1359         from slib docs.
1360
1361 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1362
1363         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1364         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1365
1366 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1367
1368         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1369         to string-append.
1370
1371 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1372
1373         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1374         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
1375         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1376
1377 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1378
1379         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1380         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1381         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
1382         Narazaki for this change.
1383
1384 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1385
1386         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1387         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1388         %S.
1389
1390         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1391         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1392
1393 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1394
1395         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1396         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1397
1398 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1399
1400         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1401         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1402         use define-public to export from the module.
1403
1404 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1405
1406         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1407         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1408         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1409
1410 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1411
1412         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1413
1414 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1415
1416         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1417         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1418
1419 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1420
1421         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1422
1423         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1424
1425         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1426
1427 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1428
1429         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1430         long_long uniform vectors.
1431
1432 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1433
1434         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1435         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
1436
1437 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1438
1439         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
1440         script to create generated files like this one.
1441
1442 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1443
1444         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1445         available before using getpw and getuid.
1446         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1447         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1448         check for stat.
1449         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1450         check for .guile, instead of stat.
1451         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1452         available.
1453         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
1454         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1455         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1456
1457         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
1458         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1459
1460         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1461
1462 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1463
1464         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
1465         than 'exit-debugger.
1466
1467         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1468         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1469
1470         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1471
1472 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1473
1474         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
1475         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1476         ("position"): New command.
1477         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1478         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
1479         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
1480         to return a valid state.)
1481         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
1482
1483 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1484
1485         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1486         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
1487         Badros.)
1488
1489 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1490
1491         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1492         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1493
1494 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1495
1496         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
1497
1498         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
1499
1500         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
1501         (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
1502
1503         * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
1504         display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
1505         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
1506         expression.
1507         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
1508         Handle errors.

1510 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1511
1512         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1513         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1514
1515         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1516
1517 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1518
1519         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1520         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1521         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1522         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1523
1524         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1525         argument.
1526
1527         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1528         both forward and backward views of the stack
1529         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1530         Use selector `frame-number';
1531         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1532         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1533         Use (ice-9 debug).
1534         Use readline conditionally.
1535
1536 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1537
1538         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1539         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1540         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1541
1542         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1543         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
1544         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
1545
1546 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1547
1548         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1549
1550         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1551
1552         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1553
1554         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1555
1556 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1557
1558         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1559         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
1560         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
1561         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1562         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1563         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1564         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1565         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1566         libguile-config-stamp.
1567         * version.scm.in: Delete.
1568         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1569         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1570         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1571         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1572
1573 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1574
1575         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1576         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1577         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1578
1579         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1580         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1581         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1582         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
1583         readline.
1584
1585         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1586
1587 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1588
1589         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1590
1591 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1592
1593         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1594         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1595
1596 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1597
1598         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1599         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1600         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1601         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1602         objects starting with '#/'.
1603
1604 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1605
1606         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1607         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1608         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1609         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1610         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1611         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1612         `observer-id'.
1613         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1614         module-modified): New procedures.
1615         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1616         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1617
1618 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1619
1620         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1621         defines.
1622
1623 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1624
1625         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1626         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1627         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1628
1629         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1630         position.
1631
1632 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1633
1634         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1635         at multiple calls to read.
1636         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1637         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1638         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1639         continued-lines prompt.
1640
1641         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1642         reading expressions.
1643
1644 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1645
1646         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1647         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1648
1649 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1650
1651         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1652         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
1653         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1654
1655         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1656
1657         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1658         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1659
1660         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1661         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
1662         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1663         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1664         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1665         instead of a port.
1666
1667 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1668
1669         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1670         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1671
1672         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1673
1674         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
1675         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
1676         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1677         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1678
1679         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1680
1681         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1682
1683         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
1684         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1685         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
1686         an alist.
1687
1688         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1689
1690         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1691         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1692         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1693         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1694         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1695         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1696         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1697         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1698         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1699         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1700         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
1701
1702         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1703
1704         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1705         peeked from the stream.
1706         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1707         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1708         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1709
1710         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1711
1712         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1713         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1714
1715         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1716
1717         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1718         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
1719         exiting repl with single control-D.
1720
1721         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1722
1723         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1724         error catching loop after quit received.
1725         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1726
1727         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1728         primitive exit if non-interactive.
1729         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1730
1731         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1732         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1733         boot-9.scm.
1734         * popen.scm: new file.
1735
1736 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1737
1738        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
1739        (reverse-iota):  removed.
1740
1741 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1742
1743         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1744         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1745
1746 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1747
1748         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1749         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1750         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1751         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1752         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1753
1754 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1755
1756         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1757
1758         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1759         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1760
1761         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1762         Guile's module system.
1763
1764         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1765         changes:
1766         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1767         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1768         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1769         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
1770         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1771         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1772         modern CL behavior.
1773         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1774         '() when the condition is false.
1775
1776 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1777
1778         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1779
1780 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1781
1782         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1783
1784 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1785
1786         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1787         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1788         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1789
1790 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1791
1792         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1793         argument order for hash-fold.
1794
1795 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1796
1797         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
1798         resolve-module.
1799         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1800         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1801
1802         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1803         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1804         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1805         has been added to the load path).
1806
1807         Use try-load-module.
1808
1809 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1810
1811         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
1812         module between system and user state.
1813
1814 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1815
1816         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1817
1818         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1819         definition.
1820
1821 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1822
1823         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1824         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1825         system can create a wrapper class for it.
1826
1827 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1828
1829         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1830         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
1831         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1832         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1833         stack frame encountered.
1834
1835         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1836         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1837         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1838         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1839         list).]
1840
1841         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1842         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1843         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1844         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
1845         please tell me!]
1846
1847         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1848         define-module switches:
1849
1850         (define-module (foo)
1851           :no-backtrace)
1852
1853         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1854         modules.
1855
1856         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1857         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1858         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
1859         module it is a system frame.
1860
1861         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1862         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1863         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1864         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
1865         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1866
1867         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1868         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
1869         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1870         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1871         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
1872         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1873
1874         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1875         status of a module.;
1876         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.

1892
1893 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1894
1895         Fix from Russ McManus:
1896         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1897         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1898         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1899         either an optional or required value.
1900
1901 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1902
1903         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1904
1905         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1906         of the '() key, not `rest'.
1907
1908         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1909         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1910         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1911         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1912
1913 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1914
1915         * optargs.scm: New file.
1916         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1917         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1918
1919 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1920
1921         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1922         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1923         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1924
1925 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1926
1927         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1928         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1929         for isn't loaded.
1930
1931 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1932
1933         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1934
1935 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1936
1937         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1938         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1939         applied to the module itself.
1940
1941 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1942
1943         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1944
1945         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
1946         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1947
1948 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1949
1950         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

1955
1956 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1957
1958         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1959         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1960
1961 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1962
1963         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1964         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1965         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1966         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1967         among BINDINGS is referenced.
1968         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
1969         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1970
1971 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1972
1973         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1974         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1975
1976 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1977
1978         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1979         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1980         static libraries.
1981
1982 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1983
1984         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1985
1986 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1987
1988         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1989
1990 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1991
1992         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1993         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1994         adapt to the new hooks.
1995
1996 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1997
1998         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1999         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2000         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2001         code.
2002         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2003         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2004
2005         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2006         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2007         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2008         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2009         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2010         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2011         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2012         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2013         first to register linked modules.
2014
2015         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2016         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2017         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2018
2019         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2020         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2021         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2022         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2023
2024         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2025         to use from C:
2026         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2027         libguile/feature.c.
2028
2029         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2030         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2031         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2032
2033 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2034
2035         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2036         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2037         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2038
2039 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2040
2041         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2042         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2043         result of the last form.
2044
2045 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2046
2047         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2048         syncase.scm.
2049
2050         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2051
2052         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2053         readline-set!: New options interface.
2054
2055         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2056
2057 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2058
2059         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2060         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2061
2062 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2063
2064         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2065         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2066
2067 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2068
2069         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2070         interactive session.
2071         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2072
2073         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2074         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2075
2076 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2077
2078         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2079
2080 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2081
2082         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2083         read line was empty.
2084
2085 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2086
2087         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2088         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2089
2090         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2091
2092         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2093         problem.  Duh.
2094         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2095         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2096         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2097
2098         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2099         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2100         into...
2101         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2102         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2103         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2104
2105         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2106         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2107         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2108         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2109         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2110         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2111         psyntax.ss.
2112         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2113
2114         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2115         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2116
2117 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2118
2119         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2120         and short vectors #h(...).
2121
2122 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2123
2124         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2125         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2126         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2127
2128 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2129
2130         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2131         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2132         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2133
2134 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2135
2136         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2137         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2138
2139         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2140         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2141         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2142         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2143
2144 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2145
2146         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2147         trace flag.
2148
2149         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2150         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2151         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2152         context with traps enabled.
2153
2154 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2155
2156         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2157         module.
2158         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2159
2160 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2161
2162         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2163         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2164         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2165         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2166         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2167
2168 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2169
2170         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2171         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2172
2173 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2174
2175         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2176
2177 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2178
2179         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2180
2181 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2182
2183         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2184
2185 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2186
2187         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2188         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2189
2190 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2191
2192         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2193         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2194         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2195         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
2196         Archibald.)
2197
2198         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2199         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2200         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2201
2202 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2203
2204         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2205         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2206         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2207         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
2208         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2209         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2210         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)

2212 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2213
2214         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2215
2216 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2217
2218         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2219         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2220         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
2221         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2222         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2223         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2224
2225 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2226
2227         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2228         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2229         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
2230         Steven G. Johnson.)
2231
2232 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2233
2234         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2235
2236 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2237
2238         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2239
2240 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2241
2242         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2243         be completed.
2244
2245 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2246
2247         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2248
2249 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2250
2251         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2252         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2253
2254 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2255
2256         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2257         similar in use to `use-modules'.
2258         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2259         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2260         transformer.
2261         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2262         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2263
2264 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2265
2266         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2267
2268 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2269
2270         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2271         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2272         completion.
2273
2274         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2275         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2276
2277         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2278         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2279         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2280
2281         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2282
2283 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2284
2285         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2286
2287         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2288         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2289
2290 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2291
2292         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2293
2294 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2295
2296         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
2297         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2298
2299         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2300
2301         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
2302         obsolete.
2303
2304 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2305
2306         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2307         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2308
2309 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2310
2311         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2312
2313 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2314
2315         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
2316         Stachowiak.)
2317
2318 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2319
2320         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2321         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
2322         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2323         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2324         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2325         threads.
2326
2327 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2328
2329         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2330         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2331         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2332
2333 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2334
2335         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2336
2337         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2338         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2339
2340 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2341
2342         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2343         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2344         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2345         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2346         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
2347         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2348         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2349         to go here.
2350
2351 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2352
2353         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2354         is now a fluid.
2355
2356 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2357
2358         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2359         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2360         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
2361         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
2362         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2363         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2364
2365 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2366
2367         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2368         usefully so they will work from a script.
2369
2370 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2371
2372         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2373         neighborhood of the record code.
2374
2375 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2376
2377         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
2378         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2379         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2380         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2381
2382 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2383
2384         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2385         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2386         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2387
2388 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2389
2390         Add support for readline function.
2391         * readline.scm: New module.
2392         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2393         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2394         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2395         anything.
2396         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2397         repl-reader to use them.
2398         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2399
2400         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2401
2402 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2403
2404         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2405         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2406
2407 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2408
2409         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2410         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2411         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2412
2413 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2414
2415         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
2416         #f, abort terminates the process.
2417         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2418         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
2419
2420 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2421
2422         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2423         print-state, throw it away.
2424
2425 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2426
2427         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2428         `0'.
2429
2430 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2431
2432         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2433         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2434         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2435         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2436         user field).
2437         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2438         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2439
2440 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2441
2442         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2443
2444 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2445
2446         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2447         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2448         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2449         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2450         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2451         boot-9.scm.
2452         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2453         distribution and installation.
2454         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2455
2456 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2457
2458         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
2459
2460 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2461
2462         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2463         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
2464         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2465
2466         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2467         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2468         symbol.
2469
2470 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2471
2472         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
2473
2474         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
2475
2476 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2477
2478         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2479         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2480         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2481         field a separate argument.
2482
2483         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2484
2485 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2486
2487         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2488
2489         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
2490         vicinity;
2491         Provide defmacro.
2492
2493 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2494
2495         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
2496
2497 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2498
2499         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2500         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2501         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2502         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2503         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
2504         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2505         registered.
2506         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2507         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2508         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2509         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2510         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2511         link a .so-file.
2512
2513 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2514
2515         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
2516
2517 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2518
2519         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
2520         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
2521
2522 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2523
2524         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2525
2526         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2527         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2528         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
2529         expansion inside the slib module.
2530
2531         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
2532         constructors.
2533         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
2534         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
2535         (let): New core form.
2536         (if): Removed from core language.
2537         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
2538         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
2539         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2540
2541         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2542         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2543         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2544         source.
2545         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2546         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2547         been loaded.
2548
2549 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
2550
2551         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
2552         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
2553         `use-syntax'.
2554         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
2555
2556         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
2557         (make-module): Modified initialization.
2558         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
2559         mutator for module-associated transformer.
2560         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
2561         `scm:eval-transformer'.
2562         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
2563         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
2564         module.
2565         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
2566
2567 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2568
2569         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2570
2571         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2572         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2573         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2574         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2575         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2576

2578         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2579         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2580         syncase macros.
2581         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2582         the syncase interface.
2583
2584 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2585
2586         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2587         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2588         workings of the current module system).
2589
2590 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2591
2592         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2593         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
2594         off!
2595
2596 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2601
2602 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2603
2604         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2605         according to the following priorities:
2606         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2607         2. bindings from the-scm-module
2608         3. tcl bindings
2609         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2610         disabling the scheme interpreter.
2611         (new-interpreter): New function.
2612
2613         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2614         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2615         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
2616
2617 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

2622
2623         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
2624
2625 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2626
2627         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
2628         procedures.

2632
2633         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2634         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
2635         source!
2636
2637 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2638
2639         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.

2644         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
2645         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2646         in stack-ref).
2647
2648         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2649         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2650         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2651         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2652         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2653         result protocol;
2654         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
2655         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.

2663         procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
2664
2665         * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
2666
2667 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2668
2669         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2670         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2671         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2672
2673         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
2674
2675         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
2676         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
2677         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
2678
2679 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2680
2681         * session.scm: New file: Session support.
2682         (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.
2683
2684 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2685
2686         * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
2687         cstime.
2688
2689 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2690
2691         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2692         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2693         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2694
2695         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2696         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2697         the top.
2698
2699         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2700         order to narrow it correctly.
2701         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
2702
2703 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2704
2705         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
2706         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
2707
2708 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2709
2710         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
2711
2712 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2713
2714         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2715         builtin `with-fluids*'.
2716
2717 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2718
2719         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2720         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
2721         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2722
2723 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2724
2725         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
2726         automatically.
2727
2728 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2729
2730         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
2731         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
2732         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
2733         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
2734         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
2735
2736 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2737
2738         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
2739         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
2740         a default of /.
2741
2742         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
2743
2744 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2745
2746         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
2747         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
2748         notation, instead of #/ notation.
2749
2750         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
2751         make-regexp.
2752
2753 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2754
2755         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2756         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2757         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
2758         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2759         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2760         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2761
2762         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2763         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2764         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2765         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2766
2767 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2768
2769         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2770         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
2771         sending in bug reports.
2772         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2773         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2774         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2775         display a warning if the two are different.
2776         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2777         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2778         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2779
2780 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2781
2782         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
2783
2784 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2785
2786         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2787         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2788
2789         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2790         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2791         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2792         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2793         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2794         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2795         that's okay.
2796
2797         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
2798         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2799         regexp interface.
2800
2801         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2802         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
2803
2804         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2805         function names.
2806
2807         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2808         fixes.
2809
2810 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2811
2812         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2813         ../configure.in.
2814
2815 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2816
2817         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2818         vtable and not the one of the struct.
2819
2820 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2821
2822         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2823         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2824         to support printing of structures.
2825         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2826         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
2827         commented out printing code.
2828         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2829         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2830
2831 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2832
2833         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2834
2835 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2836
2837         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2838         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2839         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2840         during call to scm-style-repl.
2841
2842 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2843
2844         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2845         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2846         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2847         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
2848         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
2849
2850 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2851
2852         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2853         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2854         (ice-9 regex).
2855
2856 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2857
2858         * regex.scm: New file.
2859         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2860         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2861
2862 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2863
2864         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

2870
2871         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2872         in 1997.
2873
2874 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2875
2876         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2877         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
2878         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2879
2880 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2881
2882         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2883         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2884         here.
2885
2886 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

2896         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2897         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2898         fixes this too.
2899
2900 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2901
2902         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2903         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2904         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
2905
2906 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2907
2908         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2909         the Scheme code like code yet.
2910         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2911
2912 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2913
2914         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2915         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
2916         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2917
2918 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2919
2920         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2921         use-modules macro
2922         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2923         can't be found.
2924
2925 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2926

2928
2929 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2930
2931         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2932
2933         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2934         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2935         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2936
2937 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2938
2939         Get 'make dist' to work again.
2940         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2941         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2942
2943         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2944         no plugins.
2945         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2946         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2947
2948 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2949
2950         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2951         functions.
2952
2953 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2954
2955         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2956
2957 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2958
2959         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2960         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2961
2962 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2963
2964         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2965         instead of in libguile.
2966         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2967         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2968
2969 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2970
2971         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2972         procedures.
2973         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2974         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2975
2976 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2977
2978         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2979         sockaddr:port): new functions.
2980
2981 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2982
2983         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2984         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2985         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2986         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2987
2988 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2989
2990         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2991         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2992
2993 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2994
2995         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2996
2997 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2998
2999         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3000         keywords and symbols.
3001
3002 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3003
3004         * slib.scm: update read usage.
3005
3006         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3007         Don't define read-sharp.
3008
3009         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3010         (read-sharp): removed.
3011         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3012         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3013
3014 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3015
3016         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3017
3018         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
3019         primitive procedure.)
3020
3021         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3022         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.

3025
3026         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3027
3028 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3029
3030         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3031
3032 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3033
3034         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3035         read gets EOF.
3036         * (exit): alias for quit.
3037
3038 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3039
3040         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3041         return the quit args.
3042         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3043         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3044         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3045
3046         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3047
3048 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3049
3050         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3051
3052         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3053         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3054
3055         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3056         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3057
3058         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3059         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3060         of handlers.
3061
3062 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3063
3064         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3065
3066         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3067         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3068         Change hooks to use these functions.
3069
3070         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3071         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3072         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3073         the source! :-)
3074         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3075         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3076         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3077         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3078         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3079         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3080         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3081         traced.
3082
3083         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3084         and exit-frame exceptions.
3085
3086         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3087         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3088         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3089         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3090         result; otherwise display "> ".
3091         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3092
3093         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3094         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3095         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3096         repository version runnable.
3097
3098 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3099
3100         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3101         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3102         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3103         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3104         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3105         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3106
3107 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3108
3109         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3110         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3111         and eval.
3112         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3113         "defined?".
3114         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3115         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3116
3117 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3118
3119         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3120
3121 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3122
3123         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3124         %read-sharp layer.
3125
3126 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3127
3128         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3129         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3130
3131 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3132
3133         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3134         backtrace.c.)
3135
3136 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3137
3138         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3139         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3140
3141 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3142
3143         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3144
3145         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3146         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3147         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3148         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3149         dynamic linking of modules.
3150         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3151         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3152
3153 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3154
3155         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3156
3157 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3158
3159         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3160         that's what it is.
3161
3162         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3163         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3164         was false.
3165
3166 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3167
3168         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3169         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3170         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3171
3172 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3173
3174         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3175         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
3176         yet.
3177
3178 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3179
3180         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3181         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3182         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3183
3184 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3185
3186         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3187         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3188         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3189         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3190
3191         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3192         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3193         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3194         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3195         (such as the-scm-module).
3196
3197 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3198
3199         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3200         %search-load-path.
3201
3202 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
3203
3204         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3205         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3206         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3207
3208 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3209
3210         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3211         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3212         function, use it accordingly.
3213
3214 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3215
3216         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
3217         function of no arguments.
3218         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3219         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3220         set-current-module): Uses changed.
3221         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3222         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3223         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3224         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3225         *top-level-eval-closure*.
3226
3227 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3228
3229         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3230         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3231
3232 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3233
3234         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3235         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3236         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
3237         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
3238         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3239
3240         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3241         `*features*'.
3242
3243         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3244         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
3245         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3246         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3247
3248         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3249
3250         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3251
3252         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3253         If the user wants to see this, he can do
3254         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3255
3256         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3257         error.
3258
3259         Added `before-read-hook'.
3260
3261         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3262
3263         (provide): New function.
3264
3265         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3266         in backtraces.
3267
3268         (backtrace): New function.
3269
3270         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3271         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3272         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
3273         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3274         is found in operator position in a frame.
3275
3276         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3277         by default.
3278
3279         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3280         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3281         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3282
3283         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
3284
3285         (library-vicinity): Updated.
3286
3287         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3288
3289         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3290
3291 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3292
3293         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3294
3295         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3296         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
3297
3298         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3299         so they'll get distributed.
3300
3301         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
3302         should see as little clutter as possible.
3303         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3304         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3305         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3306
3307         * r4rs.scm: New file.
3308         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3309         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3310         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3311         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3312         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3313         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3314         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3315         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3316         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3317         that are not.
3318         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3319         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3320
3321         * test.scm: New file.
3322
3323         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3324         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
3325         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3326
3327         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3328         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3329
3330         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3331         work now.
3332         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
3333         call %load-announce.
3334
3335 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3336
3337         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3338         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3339         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3340         components.
3341         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3342
3343 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3344
3345         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3346         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3347         SCSH (which this isn't).
3348
3349 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3350
3351         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3352
3353 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3354
3355         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3356         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3357         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3358         these.
3359         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
3360         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
3361         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3362         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3363         save-stack.
3364
3365 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3366
3367         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3368
3369         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3370
3371         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3372         error-catching-loop.
3373         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3374         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3375         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3376
3377         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3378         error-catching-loop.
3379
3380 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3381
3382         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3383         (make-module): Rework for readability.
3384         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3385         should be '(), not #f.
3386
3387         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3388         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3389
3390 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3391
3392         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3393         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3394         error-signal.
3395
3396 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3397
3398         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3399         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3400         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3401         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3402
3403 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3404
3405         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3406
3407 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3408
3409         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3410
3411         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3412         throw-handler-default.
3413         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3414         reported.
3415         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3416         acro.
3417         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3418         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3419
3420 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3421
3422         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3423         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3424         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3425         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3426
3427 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3428
3429         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3430         Append "." to the default %load-path.
3431         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3432         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3433         ...))
3434         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3435         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3436         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3437         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3438         file-is-directory?
3439
3440 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3441
3442         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3443
3444         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3445         distribution.
3446
3447         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3448         `switch-repl'.
3449
3450         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3451
3452 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3453
3454         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3455         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3456
3457 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3458
3459         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3460
3461         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3462
3463 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3464
3465         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
3466         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3467         Don't set up 'error as a key.
3468         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3469         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3470
3471         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3472         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3473         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3474         they seem redundant.
3475         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3476         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
3477         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3478         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
3479         directly files starting with "/").
3480         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3481         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3482
3483         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3484
3485 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3486
3487         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3488         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3489         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
3490         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3491         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3492         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3493         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
3494         robust to just do it in the C code.
3495
3496 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3497
3498         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
3499         %try-load itself was the primitive.
3500         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3501         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3502         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3503
3504 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3505
3506         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3507         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3508         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3509
3510 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3511
3512         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3513         system-error, not every kind of error.
3514         (scm-error): new procedure.
3515
3516 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3517
3518         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3519
3520 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3521
3522         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3523         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
3524         of args are supplied.
3525         (%%system-errors): removed.
3526         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3527         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3528         %%handle-system-error.
3529         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3530         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3531         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3532         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3533
3534 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3535
3536         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3537         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3538         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3539         %S (embed an argument using "write").
3540
3541 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3542
3543         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3544         the empty list if they are #f.
3545         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3546
3547 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3548
3549         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3550
3551         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3552         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3553         aborting, just the key and subr.
3554         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3555         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3556         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
3557
3558 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3559
3560         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3561         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
3562         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3563         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3564         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
3565
3566 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3567
3568         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
3569         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
3570         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
3571         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
3572
3573 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3574
3575         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
3576         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
3577         initialize %load-path.
3578
3579         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a

3596
3597         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the

3600         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3601         for these.

3604         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
3605         here, where people expect to find them.

3634         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
