1 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
3 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
5 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
7 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
8 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
10 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
12 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
13 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
14 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
15 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
16 objects starting with '#/'.
18 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
20 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
21 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
22 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
23 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
24 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
25 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
27 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
28 module-modified): New procedures.
29 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
30 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
32 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
34 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
37 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
39 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
40 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
41 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
43 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
46 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
48 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
49 at multiple calls to read.
50 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
51 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
52 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
53 continued-lines prompt.
55 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
58 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
60 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
61 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
63 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
65 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
66 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
69 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
71 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
72 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
74 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
75 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
76 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
77 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
78 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
81 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
83 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
84 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
86 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
88 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
89 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
90 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
91 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
93 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
95 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
97 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
98 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
99 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
102 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
104 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
105 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
106 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
107 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
108 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
109 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
110 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
111 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
112 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
113 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
114 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
116 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
118 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
119 peeked from the stream.
120 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
121 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
122 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
124 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
126 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
127 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
129 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
131 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
132 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
133 exiting repl with single control-D.
135 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
137 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
138 error catching loop after quit received.
139 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
141 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
142 primitive exit if non-interactive.
143 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
145 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
146 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
148 * popen.scm: new file.
150 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
152 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
153 (reverse-iota): removed.
155 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
157 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
158 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
160 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
162 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
163 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
164 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
165 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
166 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
168 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
170 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
172 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
173 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
175 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
176 Guile's module system.
178 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
180 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
181 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
182 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
183 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
184 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
185 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
187 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
188 '() when the condition is false.
190 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
192 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
194 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
196 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
198 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
200 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
201 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
202 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
204 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
206 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
207 argument order for hash-fold.
209 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
211 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
213 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
214 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
216 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
217 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
218 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
219 has been added to the load path).
223 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
225 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
226 module between system and user state.
228 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
230 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
232 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
235 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
237 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
238 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
239 system can create a wrapper class for it.
241 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
243 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
244 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
245 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
246 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
247 stack frame encountered.
249 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
250 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
251 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
252 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
255 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
256 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
257 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
258 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
261 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
262 define-module switches:
267 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
270 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
271 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
272 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
273 module it is a system frame.
275 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
276 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
277 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
278 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
279 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
281 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
282 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
283 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
284 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
285 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
286 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
288 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
290 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
291 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
293 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
294 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
295 closure to the module.
297 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
299 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
301 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
303 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
305 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
307 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
309 Fix from Russ McManus:
310 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
311 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
312 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
313 either an optional or required value.
315 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
317 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
319 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
320 of the '() key, not `rest'.
322 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
323 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
324 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
325 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
327 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
329 * optargs.scm: New file.
330 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
331 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
333 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
335 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
336 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
337 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
339 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
341 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
342 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
345 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
347 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
349 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
351 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
352 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
353 applied to the module itself.
355 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
357 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
359 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
360 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
362 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
364 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
366 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
368 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
370 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
372 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
373 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
375 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
377 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
378 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
379 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
380 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
381 among BINDINGS is referenced.
382 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
383 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
385 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
387 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
388 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
390 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
392 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
393 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
396 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
398 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
400 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
402 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
404 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
406 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
407 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
408 adapt to the new hooks.
410 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
412 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
413 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
414 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
416 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
417 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
419 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
420 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
421 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
422 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
423 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
424 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
425 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
426 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
427 first to register linked modules.
429 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
430 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
431 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
433 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
434 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
435 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
436 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
438 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
440 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
443 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
444 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
445 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
447 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
449 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
450 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
451 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
453 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
455 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
456 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
457 result of the last form.
459 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
461 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
464 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
466 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
467 readline-set!: New options interface.
469 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
471 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
473 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
474 at the end of boot-9.scm.
476 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
478 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
479 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
481 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
483 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
485 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
487 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
488 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
490 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
492 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
494 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
496 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
499 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
501 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
502 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
504 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
506 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
508 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
509 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
510 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
512 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
513 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
515 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
516 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
517 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
519 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
520 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
521 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
522 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
523 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
524 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
526 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
528 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
529 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
531 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
533 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
534 and short vectors #h(...).
536 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
538 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
539 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
540 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
542 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
544 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
545 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
546 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
548 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
550 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
551 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
553 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
554 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
555 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
556 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
558 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
560 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
563 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
564 order to allow the empty list as arg.
565 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
566 context with traps enabled.
568 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
570 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
572 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
574 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
576 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
577 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
578 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
579 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
580 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
582 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
584 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
585 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
587 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
589 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
591 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
593 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
595 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
597 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
599 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
601 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
602 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
604 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
606 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
607 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
608 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
609 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
612 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
613 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
614 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
616 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
618 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
619 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
620 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
621 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
622 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
623 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
624 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
626 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
628 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
630 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
632 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
633 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
634 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
635 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
636 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
637 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
639 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
641 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
642 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
643 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
646 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
648 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
650 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
652 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
654 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
656 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
659 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
661 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
663 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
665 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
666 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
668 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
670 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
671 similar in use to `use-modules'.
672 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
673 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
675 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
676 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
678 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
680 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
682 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
684 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
685 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
688 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
689 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
691 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
692 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
693 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
695 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
697 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
699 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
701 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
702 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
704 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
706 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
708 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
710 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
711 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
713 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
715 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
718 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
720 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
721 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
723 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
725 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
727 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
729 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
732 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
734 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
735 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
736 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
737 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
738 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
741 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
743 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
744 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
745 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
747 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
749 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
751 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
752 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
754 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
756 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
757 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
758 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
759 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
760 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
761 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
762 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
765 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
767 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
770 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
772 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
773 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
774 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
775 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
776 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
777 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
779 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
781 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
782 usefully so they will work from a script.
784 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
786 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
787 neighborhood of the record code.
789 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
791 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
792 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
793 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
794 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
796 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
798 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
799 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
800 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
802 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
804 Add support for readline function.
805 * readline.scm: New module.
806 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
807 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
808 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
810 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
811 repl-reader to use them.
812 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
814 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
816 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
818 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
819 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
821 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
823 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
824 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
825 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
827 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
829 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
830 #f, abort terminates the process.
831 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
832 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
834 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
836 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
837 print-state, throw it away.
839 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
841 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
844 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
846 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
847 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
848 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
849 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
851 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
852 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
854 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
856 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
858 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
860 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
861 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
862 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
863 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
864 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
866 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
867 distribution and installation.
868 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
870 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
872 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
874 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
876 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
877 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
878 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
880 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
881 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
884 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
886 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
888 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
890 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
892 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
893 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
894 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
895 field a separate argument.
897 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
899 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
901 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
903 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
907 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
909 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
911 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
913 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
914 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
915 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
916 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
917 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
918 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
920 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
921 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
922 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
923 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
924 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
927 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
929 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

933 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
934 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
936 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
938 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
940 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
941 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
942 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
943 expansion inside the slib module.
945 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
947 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
948 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
949 (let): New core form.
950 (if): Removed from core language.
951 (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
952 (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
953 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
955 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
956 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
957 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
959 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
960 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
963 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
965 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
966 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
968 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
970 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
971 (make-module): Modified initialization.
972 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
973 mutator for module-associated transformer.
974 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
975 `scm:eval-transformer'.
976 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
977 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
979 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
981 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
983 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
985 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
986 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
987 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
988 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
989 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
991 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
992 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
993 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
995 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
996 the syncase interface.
998 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1000 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1001 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1002 workings of the current module system).
1004 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1006 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1007 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1010 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1012 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1013 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1014 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1016 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1018 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1019 according to the following priorities:
1020 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1021 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1023 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1024 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1025 (new-interpreter): New function.
1027 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1028 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1029 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1031 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1033 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1035 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1037 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
1039 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1041 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1043 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
1045 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1047 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1048 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
1051 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1053 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1054 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
1055 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
1056 symbols matching regexp.
1058 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
1059 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1062 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1063 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1064 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1065 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1066 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1068 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1069 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1071 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1073 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1074 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1076 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1077 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1079 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1081 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1083 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1084 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1085 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1087 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1089 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1090 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
1091 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1093 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1095 * session.scm: New file: Session support.

1098 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1100 * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
1103 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1105 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1106 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1107 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1109 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1110 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1113 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1114 order to narrow it correctly.
1115 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1117 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1119 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
1120 (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
1122 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1124 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1126 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1128 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1129 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1131 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1133 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1134 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1135 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1137 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1139 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1142 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1144 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1145 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1146 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1147 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1148 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1150 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1152 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1153 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1156 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1158 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1160 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1161 poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1162 notation, instead of #/ notation.
1164 * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
1167 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1169 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1170 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1171 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1172 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1173 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1174 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1176 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1177 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1178 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1179 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1181 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1183 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1184 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1185 sending in bug reports.
1186 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1187 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1188 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1189 display a warning if the two are different.
1190 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1191 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1192 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1194 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1196 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1198 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1200 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1201 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1203 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1204 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1205 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1206 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1207 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1208 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1211 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1212 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1215 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1216 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1218 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1221 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1224 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1226 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1229 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1231 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1232 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1234 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1236 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1237 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1238 to support printing of structures.
1239 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1240 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1241 commented out printing code.
1242 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1243 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1245 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1247 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1249 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1251 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1252 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1253 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1254 during call to scm-style-repl.
1256 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1258 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1259 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1260 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1261 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1262 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1264 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1266 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1267 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1270 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1272 * regex.scm: New file.
1273 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1274 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1276 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1278 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1279 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1280 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1281 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1283 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1285 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1288 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1290 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1291 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1292 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1294 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1296 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1297 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1300 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1302 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1304 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1306 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1308 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1310 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1311 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1314 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1316 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1317 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1318 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1320 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1322 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1323 the Scheme code like code yet.
1324 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1326 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1328 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1329 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1330 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1332 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1334 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1336 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1339 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1341 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1343 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1345 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1347 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1348 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1349 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1351 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1353 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1354 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1355 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1357 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1359 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1360 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1362 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1364 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1367 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1369 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1371 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1373 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1374 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1376 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1378 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1379 instead of in libguile.
1380 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1381 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1383 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1385 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1387 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1388 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1390 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1392 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1393 sockaddr:port): new functions.
1395 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1397 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1398 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1399 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1400 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1402 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1404 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1405 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1407 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1409 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1411 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1413 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1414 keywords and symbols.
1416 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1418 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1420 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1421 Don't define read-sharp.
1423 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1424 (read-sharp): removed.
1425 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1426 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1428 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1430 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1432 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
1433 primitive procedure.)
1435 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1436 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1438 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1440 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1442 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1444 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1446 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1448 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1450 * (exit): alias for quit.
1452 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1454 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1455 return the quit args.
1456 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1457 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1458 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1460 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1462 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1464 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1466 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1467 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1469 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1470 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1472 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1473 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1476 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1478 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1480 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1481 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1482 Change hooks to use these functions.
1484 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1485 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1486 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1488 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1489 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1490 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1491 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1492 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1493 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1494 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1497 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1498 and exit-frame exceptions.
1500 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1501 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1502 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1503 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1504 result; otherwise display "> ".
1505 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1507 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1508 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1509 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1510 repository version runnable.
1512 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1514 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1515 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1516 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1517 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1518 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1519 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1521 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1523 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1524 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1526 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1528 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1529 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1531 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1533 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1535 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1537 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1540 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1542 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1543 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1545 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1547 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1550 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1552 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1553 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1555 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1557 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1559 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1560 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1561 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1562 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1563 dynamic linking of modules.
1564 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1565 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1567 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1569 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1571 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1573 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1576 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1577 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1580 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1582 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1583 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1584 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1586 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1588 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1589 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1592 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1594 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1595 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1596 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1598 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1600 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1601 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1602 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1603 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1605 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1606 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1607 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1608 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1609 (such as the-scm-module).
1611 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1613 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1616 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1618 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1619 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1620 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1622 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1624 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1625 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1626 function, use it accordingly.
1628 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1630 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1631 function of no arguments.
1632 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1633 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1634 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1635 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1636 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1637 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1638 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1639 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1641 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1643 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1644 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1646 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1648 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1649 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1650 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1651 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1652 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1654 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1657 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1658 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1659 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1660 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1662 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1664 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1666 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1667 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1668 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1670 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1673 Added `before-read-hook'.
1675 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1677 (provide): New function.
1679 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1682 (backtrace): New function.
1684 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1685 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1686 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1687 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1688 is found in operator position in a frame.
1690 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1693 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1694 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1695 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1697 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1699 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1701 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1703 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1705 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1707 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1709 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1710 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
1712 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1713 so they'll get distributed.
1715 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
1716 should see as little clutter as possible.
1717 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1718 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1719 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1721 * r4rs.scm: New file.
1722 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1723 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1724 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1725 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1726 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1727 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1728 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1729 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1730 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1732 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1733 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1735 * test.scm: New file.
1737 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1738 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
1739 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1741 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1742 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1744 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1746 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
1747 call %load-announce.
1749 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1751 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1752 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1753 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1755 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1757 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1759 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1760 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1761 SCSH (which this isn't).
1763 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1765 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1767 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1769 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1770 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1771 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1773 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
1774 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
1775 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1776 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1779 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1781 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1783 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1785 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1786 error-catching-loop.
1787 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1788 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1789 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1791 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1792 error-catching-loop.
1794 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1796 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1797 (make-module): Rework for readability.
1798 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1799 should be '(), not #f.
1801 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1802 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1804 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1806 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1807 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1810 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1812 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1813 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1814 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1815 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1817 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1819 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1821 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1823 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1825 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1826 throw-handler-default.
1827 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1829 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1831 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1832 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1834 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1836 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1837 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1838 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1839 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1841 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1843 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1844 Append "." to the default %load-path.
1845 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1846 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1848 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1849 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1850 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1851 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1854 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1856 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1858 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1861 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1864 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1866 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1868 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1869 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1871 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1873 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1875 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1877 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1879 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
1880 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1881 Don't set up 'error as a key.
1882 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1883 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1885 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1886 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1887 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1888 they seem redundant.
1889 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1890 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
1891 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1892 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
1893 directly files starting with "/").
1894 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1895 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1897 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1899 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1901 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1902 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1903 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
1904 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1905 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1906 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1907 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
1908 robust to just do it in the C code.
1910 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1912 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
1913 %try-load itself was the primitive.
1914 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
1915 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
1916 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
1918 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1920 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
1921 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
1922 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
1924 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1926 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
1927 system-error, not every kind of error.
1928 (scm-error): new procedure.
1930 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1932 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1934 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1936 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
1937 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
1938 of args are supplied.
1939 (%%system-errors): removed.
1940 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
1941 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
1942 %%handle-system-error.
1943 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
1944 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
1945 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
1946 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
1948 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1950 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
1951 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
1952 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
1953 %S (embed an argument using "write").
1955 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1957 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
1958 the empty list if they are #f.
1959 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
1961 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1963 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
1965 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
1966 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
1967 aborting, just the key and subr.
1968 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
1969 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
1970 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
1972 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1974 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
1975 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
1976 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
1977 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
1978 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
1980 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1982 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
1983 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
1984 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
1985 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
1987 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1989 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
1990 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
1991 initialize %load-path.
1993 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
1994 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
1996 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1998 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
1999 Add the directory named after the version number.
2000 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2001 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2002 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2003 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2004 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2005 (install): Create the above directories.
2006 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2007 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2009 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2011 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2012 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2013 in the Makefile directly.
2014 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2016 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2018 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2019 here, where people expect to find them.
2021 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2023 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2024 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2026 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2028 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2030 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2031 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2033 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2035 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2036 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2038 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2039 weak-key-hash-table.
2041 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2043 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2044 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2045 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2046 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2047 (%open-file): removed.
2048 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2049 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2051 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2053 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2054 (manifest): Deleted.
2055 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2056 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2058 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2060 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2061 now that they throw errors directly.
2062 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2063 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2065 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2067 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2069 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
2071 * The more things change...
