   1 2000-09-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
   2
   3         * syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.
   4
   5 2000-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
   6
   7         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
   8         Convert first argument to a string.
   9
  10         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
  11         getter-and-setter-syntax,
  12         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
  13         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
  14
  15         * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
  16
  17         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
  18
  19 2000-08-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  20
  21         * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
  22
  23 2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
  24
  25         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
  26         `symbol-append'.
  27         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
  28         args.
  29         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
  30         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
  31         even worked...  /mdj.
  32         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
  33         `symbol->string'.
  34         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
  35         semantics.
  36
  37 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  38
  39         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
  40         form set!.
  41
  42 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  43
  44         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
  45         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
  46
  47 2000-08-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  48
  49         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.
  50
  51 2000-08-16  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

  59
  60 2000-08-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
  61
  62         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
  63         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
  64         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
  65         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
  66         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
  67
  68         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
  69
  70 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
  71
  72         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
  73         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
  74
  75         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
  76         syntactic bindings.
  77
  78         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
  79         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
  80         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
  81         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
  82
  83         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
  84
  85         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
  86         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
  87
  88         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
  89
  90         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
  91         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
  92
  93 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
  94
  95         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
  96         definition of module-type.
  97
  98         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
  99
 100         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
 101
 102         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
 103         lines.
 104         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
 105         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
 106
 107 >>>>>>> 1.341
 108 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 109
 110         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
 111
 112 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 113
 114         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
 115         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
 116         Mikael for the suggestion.
 117
 118 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 119
 120         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
 121         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
 122
 123 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 124
 125         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
 126         for export args.
 127
 128 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 129
 130         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
 131
 132 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 133
 134         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
 135         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
 136         for the hint.
 137
 138         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
 139         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
 140         tail recursive yet.
 141
 142 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 143
 144         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
 145         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
 146
 147         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
 148         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
 149         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
 150         See NEWS.
 151         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
 152
 153         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
 154
 155 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 156
 157         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
 158         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
 159
 160 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 161
 162         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
 163         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
 164
 165 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 166
 167         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
 168         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
 169
 170 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 171
 172         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
 173
 174         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 175
 176         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
 177
 178 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 179
 180         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
 181         '() instead of #f.
 182         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
 183         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
 184         `the-root-module'.
 185         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
 186
 187         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
 188         documentation.scm.
 189
 190         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
 191         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
 192         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 193         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 194         (help): Rewritten.
 195
 196         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 197
 198         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 199
 200 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 201
 202         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
 203         (write-all): Removed.
 204         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
 205         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
 206
 207 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
 208
 209         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 210         `proc-documentation'
 211
 212         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 213         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 214         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 215         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 216         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 217         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 218         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 219         getter...)
 220
 221 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 222
 223         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
 224
 225 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 226
 227         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
 228         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
 229         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
 230         closure.
 231
 232 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 233
 234         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
 235         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
 236         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
 237         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
 238         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
 239         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
 240         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 241
 242 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 243
 244         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
 245         accept complex numbers as parameter.
 246
 247 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 248
 249         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
 250         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
 251
 252 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 253
 254         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 255         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 256         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 257         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 258         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 259         delete-if! when iterating.
 260
 261 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 262
 263         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 264
 265 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 266
 267         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 268
 269 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 270
 271         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 272         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 273         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 274         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 275
 276 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 277
 278         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 279         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 280
 281 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 282
 283         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 284         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 285         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 286         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 287
 288 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 289
 290         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 291         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 292
 293 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 294
 295         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 296         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 297
 298 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 299
 300         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 301         Dirk Hermann!
 302
 303 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 304
 305         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 306         source of the numerous very short changes.
 307
 308 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 309
 310         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 311         public.
 312
 313         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 314         info pages.
 315
 316 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 317
 318         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 319         from slib docs.
 320
 321 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 322
 323         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 324         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 325
 326 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 327
 328         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 329         to string-append.
 330
 331 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 332
 333         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 334         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 335         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 336
 337 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 338
 339         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 340         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 341         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 342         Narazaki for this change.
 343
 344 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 345
 346         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 347         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 348         %S.
 349
 350         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 351         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 352
 353 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 354
 355         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 356         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 357
 358 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 359
 360         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 361         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 362         use define-public to export from the module.
 363
 364 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 365
 366         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 367         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 368         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
 369
 370 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 371
 372         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
 373
 374 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 375
 376         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
 377         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
 378
 379 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 380
 381         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.

 397 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 398
 399         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 400         script to create generated files like this one.
 401
 402 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 403
 404         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 405         available before using getpw and getuid.
 406         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
 407         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to

 409         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
 410         check for .guile, instead of stat.
 411         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
 412         available.
 413         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 414         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 415         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 416
 417         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 418         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 419
 420         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 421
 422 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

 424         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
 425         than 'exit-debugger.

 443 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 444
 445         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
 446         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 447         Badros.)
 448
 449 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 450
 451         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 452         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 453
 454 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 455
 456         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

 471
 472         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 473         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 474
 475         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
 476
 477 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 478
 479         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 480         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.

 482         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 483
 484         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 485         argument.
 486
 487         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 488         both forward and backward views of the stack
 489         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 490         Use selector `frame-number';
 491         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 492         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 493         Use (ice-9 debug).

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

 739
 740 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 741
 742         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 743
 744 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 745
 746         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 747         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 748         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 749
 750 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 752         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 753         argument order for hash-fold.
 754
 755 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 756
 757         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 758         resolve-module.
 759         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 760         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 761
 762         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 763         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 764         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 765         has been added to the load path).
 766
 767         Use try-load-module.
 768
 769 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 770
 771         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 772         module between system and user state.
 773
 774 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 775
 776         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 777
 778         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 779         definition.
 780
 781 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 782
 783         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 784         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 785         system can create a wrapper class for it.
 786
 787 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 788
 789         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
 790         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
 791         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
 792         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
 793         stack frame encountered.
 794
 795         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
 796         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
 797         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
 798         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
 799         list).]
 800
 801         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
 802         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
 803         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
 804         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
 805         please tell me!]
 806
 807         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
 808         define-module switches:
 809
 810         (define-module (foo)
 811           :no-backtrace)
 812
 813         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
 814         modules.
 815
 816         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
 817         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
 818         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
 819         module it is a system frame.
 820
 821         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
 822         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
 823         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
 824         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
 825         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
 826
 827         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
 828         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
 829         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
 830         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
 831         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
 832         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
 833
 834         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
 835         status of a module.;
 836         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
 837         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
 838
 839         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
 840         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
 841         closure to the module.
 842
 843         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
 844
 845 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 846
 847         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
 848
 849 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 850
 851         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
 852
 853 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 854
 855         Fix from Russ McManus:
 856         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
 857         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
 858         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
 859         either an optional or required value.
 860
 861 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 862
 863         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
 864
 865         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
 866         of the '() key, not `rest'.
 867
 868         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
 869         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
 870         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
 871         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 872
 873 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 874
 875         * optargs.scm: New file.
 876         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
 877         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
 878
 879 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 880
 881         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
 882         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
 883         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 884
 885 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 886
 887         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
 888         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
 889         for isn't loaded.
 890
 891 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 892
 893         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 894
 895 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 896
 897         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
 898         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
 899         applied to the module itself.
 900
 901 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 902
 903         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
 904
 905         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
 906         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
 907
 908 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 909
 910         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
 911
 912 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 913
 914         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
 915
 916 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 917
 918         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
 919         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
 920
 921 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 922
 923         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
 924         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
 925         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
 926         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
 927         among BINDINGS is referenced.
 928         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
 929         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
 930
 931 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 932
 933         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
 934         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
 935
 936 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 937
 938         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
 939         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
 940         static libraries.
 941
 942 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 943
 944         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
 945
 946 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 947
 948         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
 949
 950 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 951
 952         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
 953         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
 954         adapt to the new hooks.
 955
 956 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 957
 958         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
 959         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
 960         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
 961         code.
 962         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
 963         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
 964
 965         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
 966         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
 967         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
 968         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
 969         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
 970         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
 971         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
 972         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
 973         first to register linked modules.
 974
 975         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
 976         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
 977         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
 978
 979         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
 980         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
 981         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
 982         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
 983
 984         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
 985         to use from C:
 986         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
 987         libguile/feature.c.
 988
 989         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
 990         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
 991         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
 992
 993 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 994
 995         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
 996         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
 997         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
 998
 999 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1000
1001         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
1002         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1003         result of the last form.
1004
1005 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1006
1007         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1008         syncase.scm.
1009
1010         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1011
1012         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1013         readline-set!: New options interface.
1014
1015         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1016
1017 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1018
1019         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1020         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1021
1022 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1023
1024         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1025         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1026
1027 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1028
1029         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1030         interactive session.
1031         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1032
1033         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1034         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1035
1036 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1037
1038         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1039
1040 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1041
1042         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1043         read line was empty.
1044
1045 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1046
1047         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1048         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1049
1050         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1051
1052         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1053         problem.  Duh.
1054         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1055         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1056         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1057
1058         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1059         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1060         into...
1061         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1062         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1063         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1064
1065         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1066         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1067         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1068         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1069         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1070         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1071         psyntax.ss.
1072         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1073
1074         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1075         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1076
1077 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1078
1079         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1080         and short vectors #h(...).
1081
1082 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1083
1084         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1085         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1086         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1087
1088 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1089
1090         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1091         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1092         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1093
1094 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1095
1096         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1097         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1098
1099         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1100         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1101         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1102         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1103
1104 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1105
1106         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1107         trace flag.
1108
1109         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1110         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1111         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1112         context with traps enabled.
1113
1114 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1115
1116         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1117         module.
1118         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1119
1120 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1121
1122         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1123         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1124         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1125         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1126         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1127
1128 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1129
1130         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1131         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1132
1133 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1134
1135         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1136
1137 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1138
1139         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1140
1141 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1142
1143         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1144
1145 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1146
1147         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1148         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1149
1150 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1151
1152         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1153         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1154         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1155         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1156         Archibald.)
1157
1158         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1159         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1160         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1161
1162 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1163
1164         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1165         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1166         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1167         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1168         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1169         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1170         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1171
1172 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1173
1174         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1175
1176 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1177
1178         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1179         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1180         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1181         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1182         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1183         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1184
1185 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1186
1187         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1188         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1189         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1190         Steven G. Johnson.)
1191
1192 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1193
1194         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1195
1196 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1197
1198         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1199
1200 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1201
1202         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1203         be completed.
1204
1205 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1206
1207         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1208
1209 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1210
1211         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1212         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1213
1214 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1215
1216         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1217         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1218         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1219         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1220         transformer.
1221         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1222         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1223
1224 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1225
1226         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1227
1228 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1229
1230         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1231         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1232         completion.
1233
1234         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1235         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1236
1237         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1238         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1239         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1240
1241         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1242
1243 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1244
1245         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1246
1247         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1248         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1249
1250 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1251
1252         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1253
1254 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1255
1256         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1257         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1258
1259         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1260
1261         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1262         obsolete.
1263
1264 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1265
1266         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1267         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1268
1269 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1270
1271         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1272
1273 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1274
1275         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1276         Stachowiak.)
1277
1278 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1279
1280         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1281         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1282         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1283         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1284         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1285         threads.
1286
1287 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1288
1289         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1290         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1291         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1292
1293 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1294
1295         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1296
1297         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1298         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1299
1300 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1301
1302         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1303         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1304         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1305         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1306         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1307         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1308         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1309         to go here.
1310
1311 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1312
1313         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1314         is now a fluid.
1315
1316 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1317
1318         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1319         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1320         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1321         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1322         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1323         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1324
1325 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1326
1327         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1328         usefully so they will work from a script.
1329
1330 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1331
1332         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1333         neighborhood of the record code.
1334
1335 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1336
1337         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1338         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1339         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1340         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1341
1342 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1343
1344         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1345         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1346         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1347
1348 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1349
1350         Add support for readline function.
1351         * readline.scm: New module.
1352         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1353         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1354         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1355         anything.
1356         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1357         repl-reader to use them.
1358         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1359
1360         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1361
1362 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1363
1364         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1365         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1366
1367 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1368
1369         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1370         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1371         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1372
1373 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1374
1375         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1376         #f, abort terminates the process.
1377         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1378         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1379
1380 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1381
1382         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1383         print-state, throw it away.
1384
1385 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1386
1387         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1388         `0'.
1389
1390 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1391
1392         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1393         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1394         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1395         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1396         user field).
1397         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1398         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1399
1400 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1401
1402         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1403
1404 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1405
1406         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1407         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1408         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1409         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1410         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1411         boot-9.scm.
1412         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1413         distribution and installation.
1414         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1415
1416 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1417
1418         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1419
1420 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1421
1422         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1423         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1424         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1425
1426         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1427         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1428         symbol.
1429
1430 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1431
1432         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1433
1434         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1435
1436 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1437
1438         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1439         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1440         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1441         field a separate argument.
1442
1443         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1444
1445 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1446
1447         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1448
1449         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1450         vicinity;
1451         Provide defmacro.
1452
1453 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1454
1455         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1456
1457 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1458
1459         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1460         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1461         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1462         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1463         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1464         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1465         registered.
1466         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1467         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1468         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1469         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1470         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1471         link a .so-file.

1474
1475         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
1476
1477 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1478
1479         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1480         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1481
1482 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1483
1484         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1485
1486         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1487         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1488         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1489         expansion inside the slib module.
1490
1491         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1492         constructors.

1499         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1500
1501         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1502         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1503         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1504         source.
1505         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1506         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1507         been loaded.
1508
1509 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

1511         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1512         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with

1514         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1515
1516         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1517         (make-module): Modified initialization.
1518         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1519         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1520         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1521         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1522         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1523         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1524         module.
1525         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1526
1527 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1528
1529         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1530
1531         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1532         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1533         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1534         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1535         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1536
1537         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1538         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1539         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1540         syncase macros.
1541         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1542         the syncase interface.
1543
1544 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1545
1546         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1547         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1548         workings of the current module system).
1549
1550 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1551
1552         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1553         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1554         off!
1555
1556 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1558         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1559         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1560         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1561
1562 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1563
1564         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1565         according to the following priorities:
1566         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1567         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1568         3. tcl bindings
1569         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1570         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1571         (new-interpreter): New function.
1572
1573         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1574         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1575         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1576
1577 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

1584
1585 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1586
1587         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1588         procedures.

1592
1593         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1594         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1595         source!
1596
1597 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1598
1599         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.

1604         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
1605         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1606         in stack-ref).
1607
1608         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1609         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1610         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1611         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1612         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1613         result protocol;
1614         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1615         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.

1626
1627 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1628
1629         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1630         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1631         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1632
1633         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1634
1635         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1636         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
1637         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1638
1639 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1644 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1645
1646         * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
1647         cstime.
1648
1649 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1650
1651         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1652         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1653         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1654
1655         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1656         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1657         the top.
1658
1659         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1660         order to narrow it correctly.
1661         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1662
1663 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1664
1665         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
1666         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
1667
1668 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1669
1670         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1671
1672 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1673
1674         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1675         builtin `with-fluids*'.
1676
1677 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1678
1679         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1680         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1681         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1682
1683 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1684
1685         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1686         automatically.
1687
1688 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1689
1690         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1691         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1692         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1693         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1694         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1695
1696 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1697
1698         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1699         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1700         a default of /.
1701
1702         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1703
1704 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1705
1706         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1707         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1708         notation, instead of #/ notation.

1711         make-regexp.
1712

1714
1715         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1716         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1717         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1718         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1719         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1720         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1721
1722         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1723         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1724         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1725         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1726
1727 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1728
1729         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1730         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1731         sending in bug reports.
1732         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1733         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1734         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1735         display a warning if the two are different.
1736         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1737         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1738         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1739
1740 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1741
1742         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1743
1744 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1745
1746         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1747         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1748
1749         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1750         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1751         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1752         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1753         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1754         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1755         that's okay.
1756
1757         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1758         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1759         regexp interface.
1760
1761         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1762         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
1763
1764         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1765         function names.
1766
1767         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1768         fixes.
1769
1770 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1771
1772         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1773         ../configure.in.
1774
1775 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1776
1777         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1778         vtable and not the one of the struct.
1779
1780 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1781
1782         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1783         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1784         to support printing of structures.
1785         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1786         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
1787         commented out printing code.
1788         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1789         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1790
1791 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1792
1793         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1794
1795 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1796
1797         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1798         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1799         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1800         during call to scm-style-repl.
1801
1802 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1803
1804         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1805         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1806         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1807         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
1808         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.

1810 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1811
1812         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1813         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1814         (ice-9 regex).
1815
1816 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1817
1818         * regex.scm: New file.
1819         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1820         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1821
1822 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1823
1824         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1825         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1826         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1827         threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1828
1829 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1830
1831         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1832         in 1997.
1833
1834 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1835
1836         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1837         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
1838         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1839
1840 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1841
1842         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1843         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1844         here.
1845
1846 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1847
1848         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1849
1850 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1851
1852         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1853
1854 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1855
1856         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1857         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1858         fixes this too.
1859
1860 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1861
1862         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1863         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1864         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
1865
1866 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1867
1868         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1869         the Scheme code like code yet.
1870         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1871
1872 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1873
1874         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1875         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
1876         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1877
1878 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1879
1880         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1881         use-modules macro
1882         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1883         can't be found.
1884
1885 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1886
1887         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1888
1889 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1890
1891         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1892
1893         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1894         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1895         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1896
1897 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1898
1899         Get 'make dist' to work again.
1900         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1901         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1902
1903         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1904         no plugins.
1905         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1906         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1907
1908 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1909
1910         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1911         functions.
1912

1914
1915         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1916
1917 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1918
1919         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1920         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1921
1922 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1923
1924         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1925         instead of in libguile.
1926         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1927         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1928
1929 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1930
1931         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1932         procedures.
1933         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1934         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1935
1936 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1937
1938         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1939         sockaddr:port): new functions.
1940
1941 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1942
1943         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1944         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1945         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1946         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1947
1948 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1949
1950         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1951         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1952
1953 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1954
1955         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1956
1957 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1958
1959         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1960         keywords and symbols.
1961
1962 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1963
1964         * slib.scm: update read usage.
1965
1966         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1967         Don't define read-sharp.
1968
1969         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1970         (read-sharp): removed.
1971         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1972         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1973
1974 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1975
1976         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1977
1978         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
1979         primitive procedure.)
1980
1981         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1982         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1983

1985
1986         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1987
1988 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1989
1990         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1991
1992 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1993
1994         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1995         read gets EOF.
1996         * (exit): alias for quit.
1997
1998 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1999
2000         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2001         return the quit args.
2002         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2003         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
2004         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2005
2006         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2007
2008 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2009
2010         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2011
2012         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2013         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2014
2015         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2016         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2017
2018         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2019         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2020         of handlers.
2021
2022 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2023
2024         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2025
2026         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2027         (add-hooks!): New macro.
2028         Change hooks to use these functions.
2029
2030         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
2031         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2032         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2033         the source! :-)
2034         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2035         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2036         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2037         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2038         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2039         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2040         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2041         traced.
2042
2043         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2044         and exit-frame exceptions.
2045
2046         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2047         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2048         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2049         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2050         result; otherwise display "> ".
2051         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2052
2053         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2054         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2055         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2056         repository version runnable.
2057
2058 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2059
2060         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2061         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2062         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2063         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2064         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2065         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2066
2067 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2068
2069         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2070         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2071         and eval.
2072         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2073         "defined?".
2074         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2075         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2076
2077 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2078
2079         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2080
2081 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2082
2083         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2084         %read-sharp layer.
2085
2086 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2087
2088         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2089         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2090
2091 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2092
2093         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2094         backtrace.c.)
2095
2096 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2097
2098         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2099         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2100
2101 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2102
2103         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2104
2105         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2106         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2107         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2108         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2109         dynamic linking of modules.
2110         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2111         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2112
2113 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2114
2115         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2116
2117 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2118
2119         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2120         that's what it is.
2121
2122         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2123         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2124         was false.
2125
2126 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2127
2128         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2129         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2130         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2131
2132 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2133
2134         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2135         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2136         yet.
2137
2138 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2139
2140         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2141         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2142         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2143
2144 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2145
2146         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2147         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2148         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2149         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2150
2151         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2152         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2153         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2154         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2155         (such as the-scm-module).
2156
2157 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2158
2159         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2160         %search-load-path.
2161
2162 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2163
2164         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2165         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2166         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2167
2168 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2169
2170         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2171         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2172         function, use it accordingly.
2173
2174 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2175
2176         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2177         function of no arguments.
2178         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2179         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2180         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2181         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2182         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2183         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2184         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2185         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2186
2187 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2188
2189         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2190         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2191
2192 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2193
2194         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2195         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2196         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2197         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2198         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2199
2200         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2201         `*features*'.
2202
2203         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2204         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2205         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2206         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2207
2208         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2209
2210         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2211
2212         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2213         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2214         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2215
2216         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2217         error.
2218
2219         Added `before-read-hook'.
2220
2221         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2222
2223         (provide): New function.
2224
2225         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2226         in backtraces.
2227
2228         (backtrace): New function.
2229
2230         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2231         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2232         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2233         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2234         is found in operator position in a frame.
2235
2236         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2237         by default.
2238
2239         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2240         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2241         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2242
2243         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2244
2245         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2246
2247         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2248
2249         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2250
2251 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2252
2253         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2254
2255         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2256         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2257
2258         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2259         so they'll get distributed.
2260
2261         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2262         should see as little clutter as possible.
2263         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2264         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2265         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2266
2267         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2268         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2269         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2270         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2271         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2272         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2273         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2274         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2275         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2276         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2277         that are not.
2278         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2279         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2280
2281         * test.scm: New file.
2282
2283         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2284         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2285         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2286
2287         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2288         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2289
2290         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2291         work now.
2292         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2293         call %load-announce.
2294
2295 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2296
2297         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2298         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2299         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2300         components.
2301         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2302
2303 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2304
2305         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2306         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2307         SCSH (which this isn't).
2308
2309 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2310
2311         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2312
2313 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2314
2315         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2316         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2317         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2318         these.
2319         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2320         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2321         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2322         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2323         save-stack.
2324
2325 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2326
2327         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2328
2329         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2330
2331         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2332         error-catching-loop.
2333         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2334         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2335         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2336
2337         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2338         error-catching-loop.
2339
2340 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2341
2342         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2343         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2344         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2345         should be '(), not #f.
2346
2347         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2348         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2349
2350 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2351
2352         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2353         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2354         error-signal.
2355
2356 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2357
2358         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2359         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2360         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2361         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2362
2363 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2364
2365         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2366
2367 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2368
2369         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2370
2371         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2372         throw-handler-default.
2373         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2374         reported.
2375         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2376         acro.
2377         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2378         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2379
2380 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2381
2382         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2383         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2384         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2385         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2386
2387 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2388
2389         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2390         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2391         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2392         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2393         ...))
2394         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2395         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2396         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2397         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2398         file-is-directory?
2399
2400 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2401
2402         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2403
2404         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2405         distribution.
2406
2407         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2408         `switch-repl'.
2409
2410         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2411
2412 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2413
2414         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2415         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2416
2417 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2418
2419         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2420
2421         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2422
2423 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2424
2425         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2426         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2427         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2428         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2429         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2430
2431         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2432         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2433         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2434         they seem redundant.
2435         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2436         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2437         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2438         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2439         directly files starting with "/").
2440         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2441         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2442
2443         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2444
2445 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2446
2447         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2448         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2449         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2450         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2451         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2452         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2453         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2454         robust to just do it in the C code.
2455
2456 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2457
2458         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2459         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2460         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2461         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2462         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2463
2464 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2465
2466         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2467         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2468         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2469
2470 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2471
2472         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2473         system-error, not every kind of error.
2474         (scm-error): new procedure.
2475
2476 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2477
2478         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2479
2480 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2481
2482         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2483         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
2484         of args are supplied.
2485         (%%system-errors): removed.
2486         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2487         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2488         %%handle-system-error.
2489         (%%default-error-handler): removed.

2519
2520         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2521         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2522         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2523         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2524         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

2561         for these.
