1 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
3 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
5 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
7 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
9 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
11 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
12 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
13 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
14 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
16 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
18 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
19 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
21 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
23 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
24 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
25 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
26 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
28 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
30 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
31 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
33 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
35 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
36 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
38 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
40 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
43 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
45 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
46 source of the numerous very short changes.
48 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
50 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
53 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
56 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
58 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
61 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
63 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
64 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
66 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
68 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
71 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
73 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
74 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
75 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
77 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
79 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
80 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
81 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
82 Narazaki for this change.
84 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
86 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
87 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
90 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
91 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
93 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
95 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
96 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
98 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
100 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
101 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
102 use define-public to export from the module.
104 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
106 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
107 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
108 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
110 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
112 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
114 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
116 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
117 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
119 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
121 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
123 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
125 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
127 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
129 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
130 long_long uniform vectors.
132 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
134 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
135 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
137 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
139 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
140 script to create generated files like this one.
142 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
144 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
145 available before using getpw and getuid.
146 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
147 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
149 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
150 check for .guile, instead of stat.
151 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
153 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
154 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
155 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
157 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
158 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
160 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
162 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
164 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
167 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
168 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
170 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
172 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
174 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
175 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
176 ("position"): New command.
177 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
178 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
179 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
180 to return a valid state.)
181 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
183 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
185 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
186 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
189 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
191 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
192 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
194 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
196 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
198 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
200 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
201 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
203 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
204 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
205 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
207 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
210 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
212 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
213 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
215 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
217 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
219 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
220 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
221 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
222 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
224 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
227 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
228 both forward and backward views of the stack
229 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
230 Use selector `frame-number';
231 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
232 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
234 Use readline conditionally.
236 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
238 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
239 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
240 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
242 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
243 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
246 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
248 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
250 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
252 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
254 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
256 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
258 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
259 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
260 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
261 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
262 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
263 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
264 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
265 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
266 libguile-config-stamp.
267 * version.scm.in: Delete.
268 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
269 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
270 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
271 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
273 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
275 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
276 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
277 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
279 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
280 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
281 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
282 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
285 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
287 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
289 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
291 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
293 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
294 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
296 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
298 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
299 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
300 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
301 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
302 objects starting with '#/'.
304 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
306 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
307 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
308 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
309 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
310 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
311 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
313 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
314 module-modified): New procedures.
315 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
316 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
318 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
320 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
323 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
325 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
326 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
327 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
329 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
332 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
334 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
335 at multiple calls to read.
336 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
337 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
338 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
339 continued-lines prompt.
341 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
344 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
346 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
347 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
349 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
351 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
352 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
355 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
357 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
358 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
360 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
361 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
362 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
363 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
364 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
367 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
369 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
370 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
372 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
374 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
375 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
376 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
377 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
379 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
381 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
383 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
384 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
385 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
388 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
390 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
391 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
392 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
393 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
394 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
395 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
396 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
397 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
398 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
399 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
400 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
402 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
404 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
405 peeked from the stream.
406 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
407 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
408 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
410 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
412 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
413 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
415 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
417 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
418 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
419 exiting repl with single control-D.
421 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
423 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
424 error catching loop after quit received.
425 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
427 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
428 primitive exit if non-interactive.
429 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
431 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
432 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
434 * popen.scm: new file.
436 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
438 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
439 (reverse-iota): removed.
441 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
443 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
444 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
446 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
448 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
449 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
450 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
451 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
452 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
454 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
456 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
458 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
459 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
461 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
462 Guile's module system.
464 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
466 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
467 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
468 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
469 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
470 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
471 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
473 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
474 '() when the condition is false.
476 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
478 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
480 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
482 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
484 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
486 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
487 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
488 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
490 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
492 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
493 argument order for hash-fold.
495 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
497 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
499 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
500 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
502 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
503 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
504 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
505 has been added to the load path).
509 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
511 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
512 module between system and user state.
514 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
516 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
518 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
521 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
523 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
524 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
525 system can create a wrapper class for it.
527 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
529 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
530 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
531 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
532 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
533 stack frame encountered.
535 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
536 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
537 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
538 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
541 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
542 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
543 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
544 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
547 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
548 define-module switches:
553 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
556 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
557 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
558 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
559 module it is a system frame.
561 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
562 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
563 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
564 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
565 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
567 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
568 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
569 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
570 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
571 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
572 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
574 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
576 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
577 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
579 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
580 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
581 closure to the module.
583 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
585 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
587 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
589 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
591 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
593 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
595 Fix from Russ McManus:
596 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
597 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
598 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
599 either an optional or required value.
601 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
603 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
605 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
606 of the '() key, not `rest'.
608 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
609 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
610 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
611 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
613 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
615 * optargs.scm: New file.
616 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
617 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
619 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
621 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
622 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
623 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
625 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
627 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
628 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
631 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
633 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
635 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
637 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
638 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
639 applied to the module itself.
641 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
643 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
645 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
646 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
648 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
650 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
652 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
654 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
656 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
658 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
659 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
661 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
663 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
664 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
665 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
666 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
667 among BINDINGS is referenced.
668 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
669 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
671 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
673 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
674 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
676 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
678 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
679 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
682 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
684 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
686 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
688 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
690 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
692 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
693 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
694 adapt to the new hooks.
696 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
698 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
699 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
700 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
702 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
703 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
705 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
706 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
707 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
708 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
709 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
710 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
711 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
712 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
713 first to register linked modules.
715 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
716 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
717 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
719 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
720 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
721 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
722 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
724 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
726 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
729 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
730 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
731 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
733 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
735 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
736 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
737 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
739 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
741 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
742 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
743 result of the last form.
745 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
747 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
750 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
752 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
753 readline-set!: New options interface.
755 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
757 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
759 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
760 at the end of boot-9.scm.
762 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
764 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
765 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
767 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
769 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
771 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
773 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
774 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
776 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
778 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
780 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
782 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
785 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
787 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
788 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
790 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
792 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
794 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
795 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
796 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
798 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
799 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
801 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
802 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
803 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
805 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
806 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
807 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
808 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
809 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
810 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
812 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
814 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
815 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
817 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
819 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
820 and short vectors #h(...).
822 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
824 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
825 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
826 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
828 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
830 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
831 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
832 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
834 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
836 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
837 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
839 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
840 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
841 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
842 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
844 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
846 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
849 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
850 order to allow the empty list as arg.
851 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
852 context with traps enabled.
854 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
856 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
858 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
860 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
862 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
863 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
864 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
865 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
866 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
868 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
870 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
871 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
873 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
875 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
877 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
879 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
881 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
883 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
885 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
887 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
888 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
890 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
892 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
893 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
894 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
895 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
898 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
899 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
900 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
902 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
904 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
905 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
906 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
907 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
908 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
909 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
910 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
912 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
914 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
916 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
918 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
919 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
920 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
921 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
922 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
923 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
925 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
927 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
928 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
929 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
932 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
934 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
936 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
938 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
940 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
942 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
945 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
947 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
949 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
951 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
952 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
954 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
956 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
957 similar in use to `use-modules'.
958 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
959 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
961 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
962 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
964 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
966 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
968 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
970 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
971 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
974 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
975 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
977 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
978 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
979 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
981 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
983 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
985 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
987 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
988 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
990 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
992 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
994 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
996 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
997 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
999 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1001 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
1004 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1006 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1007 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1009 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1011 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1013 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1015 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
1018 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1020 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1021 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
1022 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1023 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1024 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1027 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1029 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1030 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1031 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1033 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1035 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1037 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1038 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1040 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1042 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1043 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1044 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1045 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1046 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1047 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1048 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1051 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1053 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1056 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1058 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1059 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1060 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1061 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1062 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1063 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1065 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1067 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1068 usefully so they will work from a script.
1070 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1072 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1073 neighborhood of the record code.
1075 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1077 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1078 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1079 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1080 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1082 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1084 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1085 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1086 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1088 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1090 Add support for readline function.
1091 * readline.scm: New module.
1092 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1093 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1094 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1096 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1097 repl-reader to use them.
1098 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1100 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1102 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1104 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1105 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1107 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1109 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1110 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1111 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1113 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

1116 #f, abort terminates the process.
1117 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1118 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1120 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1122 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1123 print-state, throw it away.
1125 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1127 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of

1135 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1137 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1138 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1140 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1142 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1144 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1146 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1147 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1148 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1149 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1150 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1152 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1153 distribution and installation.
1154 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1162 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1163 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1164 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1166 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1167 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1170 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1172 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1174 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1176 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1178 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1179 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1180 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1181 field a separate argument.
1183 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1185 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1187 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1189 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1193 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1195 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.

1200 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1201 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1202 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1203 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1204 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1206 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1207 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1208 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1209 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1210 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1213 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1215 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

1222 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1224 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1226 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1227 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1228 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1229 expansion inside the slib module.
1231 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1233 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1234 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

1239 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1241 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1242 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1243 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1245 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1246 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1249 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1251 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1252 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1254 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1256 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1257 (make-module): Modified initialization.
1258 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1259 mutator for module-associated transformer.

1261 `scm:eval-transformer'.
1262 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1263 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current

1267 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1269 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1271 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1272 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1273 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1274 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1275 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1277 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1278 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1279 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1281 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1282 the syncase interface.
1284 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1286 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1287 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1288 workings of the current module system).
1290 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1292 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1293 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1296 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1298 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1299 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1300 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1302 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1304 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1305 according to the following priorities:
1306 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1307 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1309 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1310 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1311 (new-interpreter): New function.
1313 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1314 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1315 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1317 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1319 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1321 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1323 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".

1331 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1333 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1334 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the

1339 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1340 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

1345 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1348 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1349 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1350 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1351 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1352 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1354 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1355 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1357 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1359 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1360 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1362 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1363 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1365 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1367 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1369 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1370 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1371 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.

1377 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1379 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1381 * session.scm: New file: Session support.
1382 (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.

1389 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1391 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1392 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1393 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1395 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1396 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1399 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1400 order to narrow it correctly.
1401 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1403 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1405 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
1406 (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
1408 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1410 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1412 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1414 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1415 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1417 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1419 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1420 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1421 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1423 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1425 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1428 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1430 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1431 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1432 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1433 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1434 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1436 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1438 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1439 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1442 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1444 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1446 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1447 poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1448 notation, instead of #/ notation.
1450 * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to

1455 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1456 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1457 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1458 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1459 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1460 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1462 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1463 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1464 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1465 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1467 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1469 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1470 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1471 sending in bug reports.
1472 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1473 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1474 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1475 display a warning if the two are different.
1476 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1477 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1478 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1484 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1486 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1487 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1489 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1490 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1491 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1492 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1493 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1494 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1497 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1498 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1501 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1502 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1504 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1507 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1510 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1515 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1517 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1518 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1520 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1522 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1523 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1524 to support printing of structures.
1525 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1526 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1527 commented out printing code.
1528 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1529 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1531 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

1535 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1537 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1538 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1539 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1540 during call to scm-style-repl.
1542 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1544 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1545 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1546 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1547 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1548 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1550 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1552 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1553 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1556 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1558 * regex.scm: New file.
1559 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1560 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1562 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1564 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1565 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1566 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1567 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1569 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1571 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1574 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1576 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1577 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1578 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1580 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1582 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1583 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1586 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1588 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1590 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1592 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1594 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1596 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1597 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1600 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1602 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1603 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1604 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1606 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1608 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1609 the Scheme code like code yet.
1610 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1612 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1614 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1615 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1616 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1618 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1620 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1622 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1625 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1627 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1629 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1631 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1633 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1634 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1635 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1637 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1639 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1640 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1641 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1643 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1645 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1646 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1648 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1650 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1653 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1655 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1657 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1659 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1660 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1662 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1664 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1665 instead of in libguile.
1666 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1667 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1669 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1671 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1673 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1674 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1676 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1678 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1679 sockaddr:port): new functions.
1681 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1683 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1684 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1685 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1686 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1688 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1690 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1691 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1693 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1695 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1697 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1699 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1700 keywords and symbols.
1702 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1704 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1706 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1707 Don't define read-sharp.
1709 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1710 (read-sharp): removed.
1711 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1712 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1714 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1716 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1718 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
1719 primitive procedure.)
1721 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1722 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1724 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1726 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1728 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1730 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1732 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1734 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1736 * (exit): alias for quit.
1738 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1740 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1741 return the quit args.
1742 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1743 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1744 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1746 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1748 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1750 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1752 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1753 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1755 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1756 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1758 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1759 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1762 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1764 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1766 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1767 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1768 Change hooks to use these functions.
1770 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1771 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1772 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1774 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1775 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1776 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1777 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1778 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1779 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1780 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1783 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1784 and exit-frame exceptions.
1786 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1787 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1788 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1789 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1790 result; otherwise display "> ".
1791 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1793 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1794 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1795 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1796 repository version runnable.
1798 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1800 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1801 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1802 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1803 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1804 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1805 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1807 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1809 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1810 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1812 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1814 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1815 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1817 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1819 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1821 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1823 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1826 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1828 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1829 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1831 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1833 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1836 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1838 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1839 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1841 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1843 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1845 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1846 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1847 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1848 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1849 dynamic linking of modules.
1850 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1851 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1853 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1855 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1857 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1859 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1862 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1863 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1866 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1868 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1869 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1870 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1872 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1874 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1875 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1878 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1880 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1881 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1882 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1884 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1886 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1887 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1888 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1889 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1891 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1892 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1893 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1894 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1895 (such as the-scm-module).
1897 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1899 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1902 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1904 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1905 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1906 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1908 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1910 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1911 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1912 function, use it accordingly.
1914 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1916 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1917 function of no arguments.
1918 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1919 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1920 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1921 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1922 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1923 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1924 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1925 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1927 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1929 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1930 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1932 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1934 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1935 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1936 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1937 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1938 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1940 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1943 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1944 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1945 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1946 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1948 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1950 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1952 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1953 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1954 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1956 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1959 Added `before-read-hook'.
1961 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1963 (provide): New function.
1965 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1968 (backtrace): New function.
1970 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1971 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1972 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1973 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1974 is found in operator position in a frame.
1976 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1979 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1980 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1981 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1983 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1985 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1987 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1989 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1991 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1993 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1995 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1996 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
1998 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1999 so they'll get distributed.
2001 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
2002 should see as little clutter as possible.
2003 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2004 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2005 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2007 * r4rs.scm: New file.
2008 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2009 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2010 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2011 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2012 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2013 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2014 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2015 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2016 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2018 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2019 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2021 * test.scm: New file.
2023 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2024 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
2025 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2027 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2028 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2030 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2032 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2033 call %load-announce.
2035 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2037 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2038 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2039 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2041 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2043 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2045 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2046 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2047 SCSH (which this isn't).
2049 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2051 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2053 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2055 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2056 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2057 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2059 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2060 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2061 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2062 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2065 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2067 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2069 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2071 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2072 error-catching-loop.
2073 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2074 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2075 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2077 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2078 error-catching-loop.
2080 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2082 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2083 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2084 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2085 should be '(), not #f.
2087 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2088 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2090 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2092 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2093 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2096 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2098 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2099 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2100 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2101 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2103 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2105 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2107 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2109 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2111 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2112 throw-handler-default.
2113 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2115 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2117 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2118 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2120 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2122 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2123 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2124 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2125 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2127 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2129 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2130 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2131 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2132 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2134 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2135 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2136 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2137 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2140 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2142 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2144 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2147 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2150 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2152 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2154 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2155 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2157 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2159 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2161 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2163 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2165 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2166 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2167 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2168 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2169 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2171 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2172 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2173 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2174 they seem redundant.
2175 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2176 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2177 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2178 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2179 directly files starting with "/").
2180 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2181 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2183 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2185 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2187 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2188 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2189 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2190 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2191 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2192 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2193 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2194 robust to just do it in the C code.
2196 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2198 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2199 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2200 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2201 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2202 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2204 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2206 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2207 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2208 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2210 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2212 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2213 system-error, not every kind of error.
2214 (scm-error): new procedure.
2216 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2218 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2220 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2222 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2223 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2224 of args are supplied.
2225 (%%system-errors): removed.
2226 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2227 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2228 %%handle-system-error.
2229 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2230 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2231 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2232 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2234 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2236 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2237 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2238 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2239 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2241 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2243 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2244 the empty list if they are #f.
2245 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2247 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2249 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2251 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2252 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2253 aborting, just the key and subr.
2254 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2255 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2256 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2258 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2260 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2261 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2262 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2263 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2264 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2266 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2268 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2269 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2270 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2271 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2273 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2275 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2276 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2277 initialize %load-path.
2279 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2280 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2282 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2284 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2285 Add the directory named after the version number.
2286 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2287 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2288 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2289 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2290 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2291 (install): Create the above directories.
2292 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2293 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2295 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2297 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2298 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2299 in the Makefile directly.
2300 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2302 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2304 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2305 here, where people expect to find them.
2307 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2309 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2310 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2312 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2314 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2316 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2317 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2319 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2321 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2322 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2324 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2325 weak-key-hash-table.
2327 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2329 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2330 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2331 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2332 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2333 (%open-file): removed.
2334 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2335 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2337 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2339 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2340 (manifest): Deleted.
2341 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2342 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2344 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2346 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2347 now that they throw errors directly.
2348 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2349 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2351 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2353 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2355 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
2357 * The more things change...
