   4         form set!.
   5
   6 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
   7
   8         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
   9         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
  10
  11 2000-08-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  12
  13         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.
  14
  15 2000-08-16  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  16
  17         * optargs.scm: Replaced `#&' reader syntax with keywords.
  18
  19 2000-08-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  20

  23
  24 2000-08-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
  25
  26         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
  27         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
  28         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
  29         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
  30         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
  31

  35
  36         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
  37         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
  38
  39         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
  40         syntactic bindings.
  41
  42         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
  43         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
  44         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
  45         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
  46
  47         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.

  51
  52         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
  53
  54         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
  55         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
  56
  57 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
  58
  59         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
  60         definition of module-type.
  61
  62         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
  63

  66         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
  67         lines.
  68         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
  69         *after* all used interfaces has been added.

  72 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  73
  74         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
  75
  76 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  77
  78         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
  79         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
  80         Mikael for the suggestion.
  81
  82 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  83
  84         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
  85         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
  86
  87 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  88
  89         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
  90         for export args.
  91
  92 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  93
  94         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
  95
  96 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  97
  98         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
  99         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
 100         for the hint.
 101
 102         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
 103         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
 104         tail recursive yet.
 105
 106 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 107
 108         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
 109         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
 110
 111         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
 112         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
 113         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
 114         See NEWS.
 115         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
 116
 117         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
 118
 119 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 120
 121         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
 122         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
 123
 124 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 125
 126         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
 127         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
 128
 129 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 130
 131         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
 132         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
 133
 134 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 135
 136         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
 137
 138         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 139
 140         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
 141
 142 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 143
 144         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
 145         '() instead of #f.
 146         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
 147         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
 148         `the-root-module'.
 149         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
 150
 151         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
 152         documentation.scm.
 153
 154         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
 155         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
 156         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 157         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 158         (help): Rewritten.
 159
 160         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 161
 162         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 163
 164 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 165
 166         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
 167         (write-all): Removed.
 168         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
 169         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
 170
 171 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
 172
 173         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 174         `proc-documentation'
 175
 176         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 177         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 178         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 179         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 180         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 181         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 182         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 183         getter...)
 184
 185 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 186
 187         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
 188
 189 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 190
 191         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
 192         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
 193         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
 194         closure.
 195
 196 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 197
 198         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
 199         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
 200         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
 201         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
 202         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
 203         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
 204         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 205
 206 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 207
 208         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
 209         accept complex numbers as parameter.
 210
 211 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 212
 213         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
 214         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
 215
 216 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 217
 218         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 219         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 220         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 221         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 222         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 223         delete-if! when iterating.
 224
 225 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 226
 227         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 228
 229 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 230
 231         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 232
 233 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 234
 235         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 236         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 237         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 238         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 239
 240 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 241
 242         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 243         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 244
 245 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 246
 247         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 248         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 249         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 250         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 251
 252 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 253
 254         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 255         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 256
 257 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 258
 259         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 260         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 261
 262 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 263
 264         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 265         Dirk Hermann!
 266
 267 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 268
 269         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 270         source of the numerous very short changes.
 271
 272 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 273
 274         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 275         public.
 276
 277         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 278         info pages.
 279
 280 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 281
 282         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 283         from slib docs.
 284
 285 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 286
 287         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 288         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 289
 290 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 291
 292         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 293         to string-append.
 294
 295 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 296
 297         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 298         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 299         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 300
 301 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 302
 303         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 304         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 305         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 306         Narazaki for this change.
 307
 308 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 309
 310         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 311         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 312         %S.
 313
 314         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 315         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 316
 317 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 318
 319         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 320         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 321
 322 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 323
 324         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 325         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 326         use define-public to export from the module.
 327
 328 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 329
 330         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 331         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 332         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
 333
 334 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 335
 336         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
 337
 338 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 339
 340         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
 341         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
 342
 343 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 344
 345         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
 346
 347         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
 348
 349         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
 350
 351 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 352
 353         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
 354         long_long uniform vectors.
 355
 356 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 357
 358         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
 359         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
 360
 361 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 362
 363         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 364         script to create generated files like this one.
 365
 366 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 367
 368         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 369         available before using getpw and getuid.
 370         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
 371         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
 372         check for stat.
 373         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
 374         check for .guile, instead of stat.
 375         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
 376         available.
 377         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 378         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 379         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 380
 381         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 382         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 383
 384         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 385
 386 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 387
 388         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
 389         than 'exit-debugger.
 390
 391         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
 392         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
 393
 394         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
 395
 396 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 397
 398         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
 399         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
 400         ("position"): New command.
 401         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
 402         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
 403         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
 404         to return a valid state.)
 405         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
 406
 407 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 408
 409         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
 410         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 411         Badros.)
 412
 413 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 414
 415         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 416         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 417
 418 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 419
 420         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
 421
 422         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.

 429         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
 430         expression.
 431         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
 432         Handle errors.
 433
 434 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 435
 436         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 437         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 438
 439         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
 440
 441 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 442
 443         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 444         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 445         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 446         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 447
 448         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 449         argument.
 450
 451         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 452         both forward and backward views of the stack
 453         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 454         Use selector `frame-number';
 455         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 456         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 457         Use (ice-9 debug).
 458         Use readline conditionally.
 459
 460 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 461
 462         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 463         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 464         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 465
 466         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 467         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 468         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 469
 470 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 471
 472         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 473
 474         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 475
 476         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 477
 478         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 479
 480 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 481
 482         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 483         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 484         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 485         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 486         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 487         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 488         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 489         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 490         libguile-config-stamp.
 491         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 492         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 493         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 494         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 495         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 496
 497 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 498
 499         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 500         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 501         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 502
 503         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 504         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 505         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 506         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 507         readline.
 508
 509         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 510
 511 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 512
 513         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 514
 515 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 516
 517         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 518         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 519
 520 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 521
 522         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 523         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 524         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 525         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 526         objects starting with '#/'.
 527
 528 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 529
 530         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 531         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 532         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 533         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 534         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 535         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 536         `observer-id'.
 537         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 538         module-modified): New procedures.
 539         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 540         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 541
 542 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 543
 544         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 545         defines.
 546
 547 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 548
 549         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 550         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 551         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 552
 553         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 554         position.
 555
 556 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 557
 558         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 559         at multiple calls to read.
 560         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 561         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 562         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 563         continued-lines prompt.
 564
 565         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 566         reading expressions.
 567
 568 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 569
 570         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 571         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 572
 573 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 574
 575         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 576         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 577         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 578
 579         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 580
 581         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 582         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 583
 584         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 585         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 586         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 587         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 588         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 589         instead of a port.
 590
 591 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 592
 593         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 594         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 595
 596         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 597
 598         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 599         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 600         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 601         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 602
 603         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 604
 605         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 606
 607         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 608         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 609         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 610         an alist.
 611
 612         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 613
 614         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 615         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 616         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 617         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 618         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 619         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 620         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 621         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 622         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 623         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 624         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 625
 626         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 627
 628         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 629         peeked from the stream.
 630         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 631         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 632         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 633
 634         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 635
 636         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 637         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 638
 639         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 640
 641         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 642         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 643         exiting repl with single control-D.
 644
 645         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 646
 647         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 648         error catching loop after quit received.
 649         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 650
 651         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 652         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 653         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 654
 655         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 656         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 657         boot-9.scm.
 658         * popen.scm: new file.
 659
 660 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 661
 662        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 663        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 664
 665 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 666
 667         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 668         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 669
 670 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 671
 672         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 673         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 674         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 675         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 676         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 677
 678 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 679
 680         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 681
 682         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 683         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 684
 685         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 686         Guile's module system.
 687
 688         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 689         changes:
 690         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 691         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 692         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 693         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 694         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 695         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 696         modern CL behavior.
 697         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 698         '() when the condition is false.
 699
 700 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 701
 702         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 703
 704 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 705
 706         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 707
 708 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 709
 710         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 711         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 712         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 713
 714 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 715
 716         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 717         argument order for hash-fold.
 718
 719 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 720
 721         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 722         resolve-module.
 723         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 724         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 725
 726         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 727         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 728         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 729         has been added to the load path).
 730
 731         Use try-load-module.
 732
 733 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 734
 735         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 736         module between system and user state.
 737
 738 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 739
 740         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 741
 742         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 743         definition.
 744
 745 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 746
 747         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 748         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 749         system can create a wrapper class for it.

 751 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 752
 753         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
 754         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
 755         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
 756         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
 757         stack frame encountered.
 758
 759         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
 760         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
 761         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
 762         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
 763         list).]
 764
 765         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
 766         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
 767         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
 768         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
 769         please tell me!]
 770
 771         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
 772         define-module switches:
 773
 774         (define-module (foo)
 775           :no-backtrace)
 776
 777         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
 778         modules.
 779
 780         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
 781         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
 782         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
 783         module it is a system frame.
 784
 785         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
 786         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
 787         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
 788         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
 789         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
 790
 791         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
 792         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
 793         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
 794         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
 795         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
 796         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
 797
 798         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
 799         status of a module.;
 800         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
 801         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
 802
 803         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.

 805         closure to the module.
 806
 807         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
 808
 809 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 812
 813 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 814
 815         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
 816
 817 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 818
 819         Fix from Russ McManus:
 820         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
 821         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
 822         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
 823         either an optional or required value.
 824
 825 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 826
 827         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
 828
 829         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
 830         of the '() key, not `rest'.
 831
 832         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
 833         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
 834         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
 835         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 836
 837 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 838
 839         * optargs.scm: New file.
 840         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
 841         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
 842
 843 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 844
 845         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
 846         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
 847         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 848
 849 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 850
 851         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
 852         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
 853         for isn't loaded.
 854
 855 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 856
 857         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 858
 859 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 860
 861         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
 862         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
 863         applied to the module itself.
 864
 865 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 866
 867         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
 868
 869         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
 870         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
 871
 872 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 873
 874         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
 875
 876 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 877
 878         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
 879
 880 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 881
 882         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
 883         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
 884
 885 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 886
 887         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
 888         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
 889         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
 890         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
 891         among BINDINGS is referenced.
 892         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
 893         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
 894
 895 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 896
 897         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
 898         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
 899
 900 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 901
 902         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
 903         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
 904         static libraries.
 905
 906 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 907
 908         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
 909
 910 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 911
 912         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
 913
 914 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 915
 916         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
 917         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
 918         adapt to the new hooks.
 919
 920 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 921
 922         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
 923         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
 924         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
 925         code.
 926         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
 927         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
 928
 929         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
 930         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
 931         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
 932         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
 933         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
 934         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
 935         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
 936         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
 937         first to register linked modules.
 938
 939         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
 940         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
 941         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
 942
 943         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
 944         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
 945         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
 946         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
 947
 948         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
 949         to use from C:
 950         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
 951         libguile/feature.c.
 952
 953         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
 954         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
 955         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
 956
 957 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 958
 959         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
 960         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
 961         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
 962
 963 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 964
 965         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
 966         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
 967         result of the last form.
 968
 969 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 970
 971         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
 972         syncase.scm.
 973
 974         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
 975
 976         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
 977         readline-set!: New options interface.
 978
 979         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
 980
 981 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 982
 983         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
 984         at the end of boot-9.scm.
 985
 986 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 987
 988         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
 989         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 990
 991 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 992
 993         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
 994         interactive session.
 995         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
 996
 997         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
 998         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
 999
1000 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1001
1002         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1003
1004 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1005
1006         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1007         read line was empty.
1008
1009 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1010
1011         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1012         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1013
1014         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1015
1016         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1017         problem.  Duh.
1018         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1019         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1020         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1021
1022         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1023         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1024         into...
1025         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1026         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1027         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1028
1029         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1030         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1031         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1032         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1033         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1034         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1035         psyntax.ss.
1036         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1037
1038         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1039         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1040
1041 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1042
1043         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1044         and short vectors #h(...).
1045
1046 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1047
1048         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1049         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1050         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1051
1052 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1053
1054         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1055         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1056         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1057
1058 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1059
1060         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1061         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1062
1063         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1064         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1065         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1066         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1067
1068 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1069
1070         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1071         trace flag.
1072
1073         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1074         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1075         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1076         context with traps enabled.
1077
1078 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1079
1080         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1081         module.
1082         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1083
1084 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1085
1086         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1087         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1088         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1089         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1090         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1091
1092 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1093
1094         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1095         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1096
1097 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1098
1099         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.

1104
1105 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1106
1107         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.

1109 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1110
1111         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1112         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1113
1114 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1115
1116         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1117         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1118         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1119         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1120         Archibald.)
1121
1122         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1123         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1124         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1125
1126 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1127
1128         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1129         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1130         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1131         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1132         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1133         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1134         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1135
1136 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1137
1138         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1139
1140 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1141
1142         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1143         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1144         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1145         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1146         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1147         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1148
1149 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1150
1151         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1152         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1153         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1154         Steven G. Johnson.)
1155
1156 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1157
1158         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1159
1160 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1161
1162         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1163
1164 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1165
1166         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1167         be completed.
1168
1169 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1170
1171         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1172
1173 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1174
1175         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1176         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1177
1178 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1179
1180         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1181         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1182         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1183         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1184         transformer.
1185         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1186         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1187
1188 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1189
1190         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1191
1192 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1193
1194         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1195         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1196         completion.
1197
1198         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1199         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1200
1201         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1202         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1203         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1204
1205         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1206
1207 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1208
1209         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1210
1211         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1212         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1213
1214 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1215
1216         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1217
1218 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1219
1220         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1221         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1222
1223         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1224
1225         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1226         obsolete.
1227
1228 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1229
1230         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1231         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1232
1233 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1234
1235         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1236
1237 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1238
1239         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1240         Stachowiak.)
1241
1242 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1243
1244         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1245         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1246         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1247         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1248         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1249         threads.
1250
1251 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1252
1253         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1254         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1255         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1256
1257 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1258
1259         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1260
1261         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1262         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1263
1264 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1265
1266         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1267         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1268         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1269         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1270         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1271         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1272         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1273         to go here.
1274
1275 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1276
1277         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1278         is now a fluid.
1279
1280 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1281
1282         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1283         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1284         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1285         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1286         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1287         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1288
1289 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1290
1291         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1292         usefully so they will work from a script.
1293
1294 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1295
1296         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1297         neighborhood of the record code.
1298
1299 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1300
1301         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1302         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1303         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1304         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1305
1306 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1307
1308         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1309         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1310         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1311
1312 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1313
1314         Add support for readline function.
1315         * readline.scm: New module.
1316         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1317         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1318         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1319         anything.
1320         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1321         repl-reader to use them.
1322         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1323
1324         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1325
1326 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1327
1328         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1329         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1330
1331 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1332
1333         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1334         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1335         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1336
1337 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1338
1339         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1340         #f, abort terminates the process.
1341         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1342         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1343
1344 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1345
1346         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1347         print-state, throw it away.
1348
1349 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1350
1351         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1352         `0'.
1353
1354 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1355
1356         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1357         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1358         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1359         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1360         user field).
1361         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1362         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1363
1364 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1365
1366         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1367
1368 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1369
1370         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1371         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1372         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1373         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1374         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1375         boot-9.scm.
1376         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1377         distribution and installation.
1378         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1379
1380 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1381
1382         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1383
1384 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1385
1386         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1387         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1388         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1389
1390         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1391         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1392         symbol.
1393
1394 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1395
1396         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1397
1398         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1399
1400 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1401
1402         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1403         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1404         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1405         field a separate argument.
1406
1407         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1408
1409 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1410
1411         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1412
1413         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1414         vicinity;
1415         Provide defmacro.
1416
1417 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1418
1419         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1420
1421 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1422
1423         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1424         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1425         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1426         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1427         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1428         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1429         registered.
1430         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1431         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1432         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1433         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1434         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1435         link a .so-file.
1436
1437 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1438
1439         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
1440
1441 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1442
1443         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1444         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1445
1446 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1447
1448         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1449
1450         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1451         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1452         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1453         expansion inside the slib module.
1454
1455         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1456         constructors.
1457         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1458         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
1459         (let): New core form.
1460         (if): Removed from core language.
1461         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
1462         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
1463         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1464
1465         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1466         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1467         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1468         source.
1469         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1470         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1471         been loaded.
1472
1473 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1474
1475         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1476         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1477         `use-syntax'.
1478         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1479
1480         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1481         (make-module): Modified initialization.
1482         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1483         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1484         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1485         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1486         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1487         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1488         module.
1489         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1490
1491 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1492
1493         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1494
1495         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1496         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1497         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1498         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1499         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1500
1501         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1502         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1503         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1504         syncase macros.
1505         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1506         the syncase interface.
1507
1508 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1509
1510         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1511         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1512         workings of the current module system).
1513
1514 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1515
1516         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1517         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1518         off!
1519
1520 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1522         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1523         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1524         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1525
1526 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1527
1528         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1529         according to the following priorities:
1530         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1531         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1532         3. tcl bindings
1533         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1534         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1535         (new-interpreter): New function.
1536
1537         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1538         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1539         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1540
1541 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

1546
1547         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
1548
1549 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1550
1551         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1552         procedures.
1553         (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
1554

1556
1557         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1558         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1559         source!
1560
1561 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1562
1563         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1564         (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

1568         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
1569         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1570         in stack-ref).
1571
1572         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1573         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1574         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1575         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1576         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1577         result protocol;
1578         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1579         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1580

1587         procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1588
1589         * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1590
1591 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1592
1593         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1594         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1595         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1596
1597         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1598
1599         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1600         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
1601         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1602
1603 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1604
1605         * session.scm: New file: Session support.
1606         (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.
1607
1608 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1609
1610         * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
1611         cstime.
1612
1613 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1614
1615         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1616         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1617         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1618
1619         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1620         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1621         the top.
1622
1623         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1624         order to narrow it correctly.
1625         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1626
1627 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1628
1629         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
1630         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
1631
1632 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1633
1634         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1635
1636 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1637
1638         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1639         builtin `with-fluids*'.
1640
1641 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1642
1643         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1644         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1645         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1646
1647 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1648
1649         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1650         automatically.
1651
1652 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1653
1654         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1655         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1656         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1657         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1658         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1659
1660 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1661
1662         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1663         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1664         a default of /.
1665
1666         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1667
1668 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1669
1670         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1671         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1672         notation, instead of #/ notation.
1673
1674         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
1675         make-regexp.
1676
1677 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1678
1679         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1680         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1681         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1682         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1683         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1684         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1685
1686         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1687         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1688         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1689         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1690
1691 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1692
1693         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1694         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1695         sending in bug reports.
1696         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1697         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1698         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1699         display a warning if the two are different.
1700         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1701         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1702         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1703
1704 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1705
1706         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1707
1708 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1709
1710         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1711         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1712
1713         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1714         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1715         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1716         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1717         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1718         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1719         that's okay.
1720
1721         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1722         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1723         regexp interface.
1724
1725         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1726         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
1727
1728         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1729         function names.
1730
1731         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1732         fixes.
1733
1734 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1735
1736         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1737         ../configure.in.
1738
1739 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1740
1741         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1742         vtable and not the one of the struct.
1743
1744 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1745
1746         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1747         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1748         to support printing of structures.
1749         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1750         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
1751         commented out printing code.
1752         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1753         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1754
1755 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1756
1757         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1758
1759 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1760
1761         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1762         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1763         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1764         during call to scm-style-repl.
1765
1766 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1767
1768         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1769         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1770         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1771         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
1772         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
1773
1774 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1775
1776         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1777         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1778         (ice-9 regex).
1779
1780 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1781
1782         * regex.scm: New file.
1783         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1784         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1785
1786 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1787
1788         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

1794
1795         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1796         in 1997.
1797
1798 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1799
1800         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1801         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
1802         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1803
1804 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1805
1806         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1807         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1808         here.
1809
1810 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1811
1812         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1813
1814 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1815
1816         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1817
1818 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1819
1820         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1821         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1822         fixes this too.
1823
1824 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1825
1826         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1827         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1828         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
1829
1830 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1831
1832         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1833         the Scheme code like code yet.
1834         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1835
1836 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1837
1838         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1839         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
1840         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1841
1842 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1843
1844         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1845         use-modules macro
1846         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1847         can't be found.
1848
1849 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1850
1851         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1852
1853 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1854
1855         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1856
1857         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1858         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1859         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1860
1861 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1862
1863         Get 'make dist' to work again.
1864         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1865         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1866
1867         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1868         no plugins.
1869         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1870         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1871
1872 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1873
1874         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1875         functions.
1876
1877 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1878
1879         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1880
1881 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1882
1883         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1884         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1885
1886 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1887
1888         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1889         instead of in libguile.
1890         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1891         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1892
1893 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1894
1895         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1896         procedures.
1897         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1898         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1899
1900 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1901
1902         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1903         sockaddr:port): new functions.
1904
1905 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1906
1907         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1908         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1909         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1910         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1911
1912 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1913
1914         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1915         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1916
1917 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1918
1919         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1920
1921 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1922
1923         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1924         keywords and symbols.
1925
1926 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1927
1928         * slib.scm: update read usage.
1929
1930         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1931         Don't define read-sharp.
1932
1933         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1934         (read-sharp): removed.
1935         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1936         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1937
1938 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1939
1940         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1941
1942         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
1943         primitive procedure.)
1944
1945         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1946         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1947
1948 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1949
1950         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1951
1952 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1953
1954         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1955
1956 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1957
1958         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1959         read gets EOF.
1960         * (exit): alias for quit.
1961
1962 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1963
1964         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1965         return the quit args.
1966         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1967         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
1968         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1969
1970         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1971
1972 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1973
1974         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1975
1976         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1977         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1978
1979         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1980         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1981
1982         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1983         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1984         of handlers.
1985
1986 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1987
1988         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1989
1990         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1991         (add-hooks!): New macro.
1992         Change hooks to use these functions.
1993
1994         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
1995         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1996         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1997         the source! :-)
1998         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1999         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2000         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2001         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2002         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2003         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2004         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2005         traced.
2006
2007         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2008         and exit-frame exceptions.
2009
2010         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2011         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2012         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2013         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2014         result; otherwise display "> ".
2015         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2016
2017         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2018         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2019         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2020         repository version runnable.
2021
2022 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2023
2024         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2025         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2026         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2027         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2028         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2029         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2030
2031 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2032
2033         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2034         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2035         and eval.
2036         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2037         "defined?".
2038         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2039         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2040
2041 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2042
2043         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2044
2045 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2046
2047         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2048         %read-sharp layer.
2049
2050 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2051
2052         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2053         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2054
2055 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2056
2057         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2058         backtrace.c.)
2059
2060 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2061
2062         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2063         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2064
2065 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2066
2067         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2068
2069         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2070         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2071         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2072         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2073         dynamic linking of modules.
2074         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2075         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2076
2077 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2078
2079         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2080
2081 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2082
2083         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2084         that's what it is.
2085
2086         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2087         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2088         was false.
2089
2090 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2091
2092         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2093         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2094         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2095
2096 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2097
2098         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2099         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2100         yet.
2101
2102 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2103
2104         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2105         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2106         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2107
2108 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2109
2110         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2111         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2112         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2113         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2114
2115         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2116         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2117         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2118         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2119         (such as the-scm-module).
2120
2121 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2122
2123         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2124         %search-load-path.
2125
2126 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2127
2128         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2129         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2130         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2131
2132 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2133
2134         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2135         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2136         function, use it accordingly.
2137
2138 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2139
2140         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2141         function of no arguments.
2142         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2143         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2144         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2145         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2146         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2147         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2148         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to

2151 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2152
2153         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2154         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2155
2156 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2157
2158         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2159         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2160         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2161         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2162         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2163
2164         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2165         `*features*'.
2166
2167         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2168         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2169         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2170         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2171
2172         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2173
2174         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2175
2176         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2177         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2178         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2179
2180         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2181         error.
2182
2183         Added `before-read-hook'.
2184
2185         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2186
2187         (provide): New function.
2188
2189         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2190         in backtraces.
2191
2192         (backtrace): New function.
2193
2194         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2195         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2196         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2197         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2198         is found in operator position in a frame.
2199
2200         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2201         by default.
2202
2203         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2204         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2205         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2206
2207         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2208
2209         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2210
2211         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2212
2213         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2214
2215 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2216
2217         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2218
2219         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2220         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2221
2222         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2223         so they'll get distributed.
2224
2225         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2226         should see as little clutter as possible.
2227         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2228         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2229         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2230
2231         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2232         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2233         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2234         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2235         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2236         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2237         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2238         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2239         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2240         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2241         that are not.
2242         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2243         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2244
2245         * test.scm: New file.
2246
2247         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2248         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2249         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2250
2251         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2252         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2253
2254         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2255         work now.
2256         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2257         call %load-announce.
2258
2259 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2260
2261         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2262         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2263         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2264         components.
2265         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2266
2267 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2268
2269         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2270         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2271         SCSH (which this isn't).
2272
2273 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2274
2275         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2276
2277 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2278
2279         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2280         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2281         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2282         these.
2283         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2284         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2285         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2286         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2287         save-stack.
2288
2289 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2290
2291         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2292
2293         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2294
2295         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2296         error-catching-loop.
2297         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2298         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2299         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2300
2301         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2302         error-catching-loop.
2303
2304 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2305
2306         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2307         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2308         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2309         should be '(), not #f.
2310
2311         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2312         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2313
2314 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2315
2316         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2317         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2318         error-signal.
2319
2320 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2321
2322         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2323         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2324         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2325         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2326
2327 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2328
2329         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2330
2331 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2332
2333         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2334
2335         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2336         throw-handler-default.
2337         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2338         reported.
2339         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2340         acro.
2341         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2342         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2343
2344 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2345
2346         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2347         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2348         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2349         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2350
2351 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2352
2353         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2354         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2355         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2356         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2357         ...))
2358         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2359         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2360         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2361         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2362         file-is-directory?
2363
2364 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2365
2366         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2367
2368         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2369         distribution.
2370
2371         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2372         `switch-repl'.
2373
2374         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2375
2376 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2377
2378         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2379         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2380
2381 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2382
2383         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2384
2385         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2386
2387 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2388
2389         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2390         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2391         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2392         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2393         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2394
2395         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2396         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2397         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2398         they seem redundant.
2399         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2400         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2401         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2402         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2403         directly files starting with "/").
2404         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2405         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2406
2407         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2408
2409 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2410
2411         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2412         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2413         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2414         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2415         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2416         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2417         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2418         robust to just do it in the C code.
2419
2420 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2421
2422         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2423         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2424         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2425         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2426         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2427
2428 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2429
2430         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2431         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2432         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2433
2434 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2435
2436         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2437         system-error, not every kind of error.
2438         (scm-error): new procedure.
2439
2440 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2441
2442         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2443
2444 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2445
2446         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2447         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
2448         of args are supplied.
2449         (%%system-errors): removed.
2450         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2451         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2452         %%handle-system-error.
2453         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2454         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2455         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2456         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2457
2458 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2459
2460         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2461         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2462         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2463         %S (embed an argument using "write").
2464
2465 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2466
2467         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2468         the empty list if they are #f.
2469         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2470
2471 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2472
2473         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2474
2475         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2476         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2477         aborting, just the key and subr.
2478         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2479         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2480         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2481
2482 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2483
2484         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2485         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2486         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2487         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2488         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

2521         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
