ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
   2
   3         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
   4         Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
   5
   6 2002-11-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
   7
   8         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition
   9         needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.
  10
  11 2002-11-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  12
  13         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"
  14         change below.
  15
  16         * debugger/breakpoints/source.scm: Enable source property
  17         recording when module is loaded.
  18         (##): Cope with ports whose `filename' is not a string.
  19
  20 2002-11-04  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  21
  22         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Simplify code-generation
  23         code.
  24
  25         * debugger/command-loop.scm (read-and-dispatch-command): Import
  26         set-readline-prompt dynamically if we need to.  (Previous
  27         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
  28         readline).)
  29
  30 2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  31
  32         * format.scm (format): Wrap a monitor around format:format since
  33         it is not thread-safe.
  34
  35 2002-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  36
  37         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'.  This
  38         value will be returned by join-thread.
  39
  40 2002-10-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  41
  42         Merging debugger enhancements previously in separate
  43         `guile-debugger' package ...
  44
  45         * debugger.scm: Factored out into the following constituent parts
  46         - see comment in file for more details.
  47         (*not-yet-introduced*): New (avoids repeatedly introducing the
  48         debugger when entering it from breakpoints).
  49         (debug-stack): New.
  50         (debug): Rewrite to use more general `debug-stack'.
  51
  52         * debugger/commands.scm, debugger/command-loop.scm,
  53         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits
  54         of old (ice-9 debugger), plus some rewriting and enhancements for
  55         breakpoint support ...
  56
  57         * debugger/state.scm (state-rtd): Add flags field.
  58         (make-state): Extend to optionally take flags.

  61         (write-state-short): Rewritten to print out the current source
  62         location in a way that is more easily trackable by Emacs.
  63
  64         * debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
  65         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
  66         execution from a breakpoint.
  67
  68         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,
  69         debugger/breakpoints/procedural.scm,
  70         debugger/breakpoints/range.scm, debugger/breakpoints/source.scm,
  71         debugger/trap-hooks.scm, debugger/trc.scm: New files - breakpoint

  79
  80         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Do not call unmask-signals, that
  81         should be unnecessary now.
  82
  83 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
  84
  85         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
  86         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
  87         the-root-module.
  88
  89 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  90
  91         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
  92         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and

  94         unmask-signals.
  95
  96 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

 102
 103         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
 104         >= 0.
 105
 106 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 107
 108         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to
 109         limit the signal stack.
 110

 112

 121         * syncase.scm: Set the module transformer of the-syncase-module so

 129         (putprop, getprop): Use the expansion-eval-closure to find
 130         variables instead of the current module.
 131
 132 2002-07-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 160
 161         * format.scm (format:fn-max): Increase to 400 so ~f and ~g can

 171         * gap-buffer.scm: New file.

 194
 195         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's

 197         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
 198
 199         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.

 212
 213         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
 214         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
 215         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
 216         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
 217
 218 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 219

 223         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
 224         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.

 227
 228         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have

 232

 237         positions.

 240
 241         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 242         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 243         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 244
 245         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,

 251           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
 252           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 253           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 254           exporting bindings.
 255
 256 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 257
 258         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,

 260

 262
 263         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 264         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 265         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 266         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 267
 268 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 269
 270         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
 271         %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,

 282
 283         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
 284
 285 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 286
 287         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 288         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.

 291
 292         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 293         the `arglist' procedure property.
 294         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 295         present a more detailed argument list.
 296
 297         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 298
 299 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 300
 301         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission

 306
 307         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
 308
 309         (feature?): Deprecated.
 310
 311         (id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags,
 312         eval-in-module, split-c-module-name,

 330
 331         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.

 344

 346
 347         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
 348         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
 349
 350 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 351
 352         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

 397 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 398
 399         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 400         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
 401
 402 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 403
 404         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
 405         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
 406         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
 407         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
 408
 409         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 410         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
 411         since there aren't definitions for them.
 412
 413         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
 414         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
 415
 416 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 417
 418         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
 419         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
 420
 421 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 422
 423         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
 424         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
 425
 426 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 427
 428         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
 429         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
 430         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
 431
 432 2001-06-30  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 433
 434         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
 435
 436         * tags.scm: Removed file.
 437
 438 2001-06-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 439
 440         Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
 441         is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
 442
 443         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
 444         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
 445         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
 446         New.
 447
 448 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 449
 450         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
 451         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
 452
 453 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 454
 455         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
 456         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
 457
 458         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
 459         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
 460         evaluator trap options.)
 461
 462 2001-06-25  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 463
 464         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.
 465
 466 2001-06-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 467
 468         * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax): New.
 469
 470 2001-06-16  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 471
 472         * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
 473
 474 2001-06-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 475
 476         * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
 477         `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
 478
 479 2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 480
 481         * match.scm:
 482         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
 483         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
 484         No longer require `pretty-print'.
 485
 486         (slib:error): Delete.
 487         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
 488
 489         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
 490
 491         * README: New file.
 492
 493         * common-list.scm:
 494         Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
 495         Add Commentary.
 496         Update copyright.
 497
 498 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 499
 500         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
 501         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
 502         rdelim) module.  See below.
 503
 504 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 505
 506         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
 507         include-deprecated-features is true.
 508
 509 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 510
 511         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
 512         unknown objects.
 513
 514         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
 515         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
 516         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 517
 518         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
 519         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
 520         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
 521         Köppe!
 522
 523 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 524
 525         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
 526         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
 527         variable, not just a visible one.
 528         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
 529         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
 530         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
 531         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
 532         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
 533         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
 534         variables.
 535         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
 536
 537         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
 538         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
 539
 540 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 541
 542         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
 543         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
 544
 545 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 546
 547         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
 548
 549 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 550
 551         Added exception notice to all files.
 552
 553         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
 554         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
 555         importing bindings once in a while.
 556
 557 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 558
 559         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
 560         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
 561         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 562         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
 563         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 564         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 565         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 566         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
 567         message.
 568         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
 569         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
 570
 571 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 572
 573         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
 574         fix command so that it works.
 575
 576         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
 577         to access unbound variables.
 578
 579         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
 580         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
 581         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
 582         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
 583         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
 584
 585 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 586
 587         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
 588         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
 589         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
 590         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
 591         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
 592         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
 593         argument for process-define-module.
 594         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
 595         arguments for process-use-modules.
 596         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
 597
 598 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 599
 600         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
 601         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
 602         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
 603         module.
 604
 605         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
 606         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
 607         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
 608
 609         * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.
 610
 611 2001-05-23  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 612
 613         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
 614         to feature lists.
 615         (cond-expand): Use feature information associated with modules.
 616
 617 2001-05-21  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 618
 619         * boot-9.scm (use-srfis): Do not extend the srfi-0 feature list.
 620         (cond-expand-provide): New procedure.
 621
 622 2001-05-22  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 623
 624         * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
 625         (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when
 626         getting the syntax transformer.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 627
 628 2001-05-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 629
 630         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
 631         deprecated features have been removed.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
 632
 633         * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
 634         `display'.
 635
 636 2001-05-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 637
 638         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
 639         * match.scm: Likewise.
 640         * expect.scm: Likewise.
 641         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 642
 643         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
 644
 645         * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
 646
 647         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
 648         set-current-module.
 649         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
 650         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
 651         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
 652         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
 653         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
 654         element list when adding "." to it.
 655         (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
 656         dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
 657
 658 2001-05-18  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 659
 660         * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
 661         cleanup; nfc.
 662         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
 663         now accepts arg; update callers.
 664         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
 665         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
 666
 667         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
 668         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
 669         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
 670         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
 671         `search-documentation-files'.
 672         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
 673         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.
 674         (help-usage): Mention support for "(help 'NAME)".
 675
 676         * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
 677         Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.
 678

 680         (search-documentation-files): New proc, exported.
 681         (object-documentation): Use `search-documentation-files'.
 682

 684
 685         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
 686         so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.
 687         (use-srfis): New procedure.
 688
 689 2001-05-15  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 690
 691         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Signal error now also if
 692         used module's public interface is not available.
 693         No longer call `beautify-user-module!'.
 694         Signal error now also if selected binding not found.
 695
 696 2001-05-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 697
 698         Merge from mvo-vcell-clenaup-1-branch.
 699
 700         * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
 701         the module obarray.
 702         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
 703
 704         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
 705         the magical undefined value.
 706         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
 707         the default default for bindings.
 708
 709         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
 710         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 711         (root-module-closure): Removed.
 712         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 713         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.
 714         (scm-module-closure): Removed.
 715         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 716         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.  Set the
 717         eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
 718         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
 719         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 720         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
 721         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
 722         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
 723         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
 724         `set-current-module' call.
 725         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
 726         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.
 727
 728         * debug.scm: Use `module-set!' instead of `variable-set!' to set
 729         insert `debug-options' into the-root-module.
 730         * format.scm: Likewise, for `format'.
 731
 732 2001-05-15  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 733
 734         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-repl): Call the E
 735         ("eval'er") procedure via call-with-values and call the P
 736         ("printer") for each produced value.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 737
 738 2001-05-14  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 739
 740         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Reduce feature list to built-in
 741         features.
 742
 743 2001-05-14  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 744
 745         * boot-9.scm (-1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags):
 746         Deprecated.
 747
 748 2001-05-11  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

 754
 755         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): Abstraction maintenance: Use
 756         `module-public-interface'.
 757         (resolve-interface): Extend to handle selection and renaming in spec.
 758         Arg is now `spec' which can be a simple module name (list of symbols)
 759         or a interface spec.
 760         (symbol-prefix-proc): New proc.
 761         (%autoloader-developer-mode): Delete.
 762         (process-define-module): Use "define-module" in error messages
 763         instead of "defmodule".  Factor error into internal proc.
 764         Rewrite `use-module' and `use-syntax' handlers.

1082         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).

1097         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1098         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1099         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1100         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1101         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1102         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1103         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.

1143         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1144         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1145         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1146         scm-style-repl.
1147
1148 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1149
1150         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
1151         and open-output-pipe.
1152
1153 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1154
1155         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1156         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1157         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1158         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1159         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1160         Pirotte for the bug report).
1161         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1162         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

1164 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1165
1166         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.
1167         Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.
1168
1169 2000-10-15  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1170
1171         * optargs.scm: Fix typos in commentary for bound? and lambda*.
1172

1174
1175         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
1176         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
1177         patch.
1178
1179 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1180
1181         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to

1183
1184 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1185
1186         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1187         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1188         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1189
1190         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1191         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1192         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1193         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1194         actual documentation entries themselves.

1200 2000-09-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1201
1202         * syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.
1203
1204 2000-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1205
1206         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
1207         Convert first argument to a string.
1208
1209         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
1210         getter-and-setter-syntax,
1211         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
1212         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
1213

1215
1216         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.

1221
1222 2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1223
1224         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
1225         `symbol-append'.
1226         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1227         args.
1228         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1229         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1230         even worked...  /mdj.
1231         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1232         `symbol->string'.
1233         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1234         semantics.
1235
1236 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1237
1238         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
1239         form set!.

1242
1243         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
1244         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!

1261         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1262         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1263         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1264         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1265         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1266
1267         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1268
1269 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1270
1271         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
1272         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1273
1274         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1275         syntactic bindings.
1276
1277         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1278         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1279         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
1280         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1281
1282         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
1283
1284         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
1285         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
1286
1287         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
1288
1289         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1290         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1291
1292 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1293
1294         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1295         definition of module-type.
1296
1297         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1298
1299         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1300
1301         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1302         lines.
1303         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1304         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1305
1306 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1307

1309
1310 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1311
1312         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
1313         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
1314         Mikael for the suggestion.
1315
1316 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1317
1318         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1319         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1320
1321 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1322
1323         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1324         for export args.
1325
1326 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1327
1328         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
1329
1330 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1331
1332         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1333         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
1334         for the hint.
1335
1336         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
1337         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
1338         tail recursive yet.
1339
1340 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1341
1342         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1343         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1344
1345         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1346         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1347         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1348         See NEWS.
1349         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1350
1351         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1352
1353 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1354
1355         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1356         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1357
1358 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1359
1360         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1361         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1362
1363 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1364
1365         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
1366         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1367
1368 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1369
1370         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1371
1372         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1373
1374         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1375
1376 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1377
1378         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1379         '() instead of #f.
1380         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1381         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1382         `the-root-module'.
1383         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1384
1385         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1386         documentation.scm.
1387
1388         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1389         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1390         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1391         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1392         (help): Rewritten.
1393
1394         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1395
1396         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1397
1398 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1399
1400         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1401         (write-all): Removed.
1402         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
1403         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
1404
1405 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
1406
1407         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1408         `proc-documentation'
1409
1410         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
1411         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1412         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1413         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1414         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1415         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1416         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1417         getter...)
1418
1419 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1420
1421         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
1422
1423 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1424
1425         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1426         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
1427         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1428         closure.
1429
1430 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1431
1432         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
1433         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1434         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
1435         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
1436         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1437         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1438         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1439
1440 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1441
1442         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
1443         accept complex numbers as parameter.
1444
1445 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1446
1447         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1448         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
1449
1450 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1451
1452         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1453         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1454         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1455         instead of remove-if when iterating.
1456         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1457         delete-if! when iterating.
1458
1459 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1460
1461         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1462
1463 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1464
1465         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
1466
1467 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1468
1469         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1470         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
1471         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1472         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1473
1474 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1475
1476         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
1477         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1478
1479 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1480
1481         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
1482         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1483         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
1484         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
1485
1486 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1487
1488         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1489         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1490
1491 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1492
1493         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1494         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1495
1496 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1497
1498         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1499         Dirk Hermann!
1500
1501 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1502
1503         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1504         source of the numerous very short changes.
1505
1506 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1507
1508         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1509         public.
1510
1511         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1512         info pages.
1513
1514 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1515
1516         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1517         from slib docs.
1518
1519 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1520
1521         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1522         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1523
1524 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1525
1526         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1527         to string-append.
1528
1529 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1530
1531         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1532         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
1533         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1534
1535 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1536
1537         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1538         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1539         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
1540         Narazaki for this change.
1541
1542 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1543
1544         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1545         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1546         %S.
1547
1548         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1549         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1550
1551 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1552
1553         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1554         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1555
1556 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1557
1558         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1559         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1560         use define-public to export from the module.
1561
1562 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1563
1564         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1565         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1566         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1567
1568 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1569
1570         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1571
1572 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1573
1574         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1575         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1576
1577 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1578
1579         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1580
1581         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1582
1583         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1584
1585 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1586
1587         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1588         long_long uniform vectors.
1589
1590 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1591
1592         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1593         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
1594
1595 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1596
1597         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
1598         script to create generated files like this one.
1599
1600 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1601
1602         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1603         available before using getpw and getuid.
1604         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1605         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1606         check for stat.
1607         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1608         check for .guile, instead of stat.
1609         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1610         available.
1611         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
1612         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1613         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1614
1615         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
1616         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1617
1618         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1619
1620 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1621
1622         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
1623         than 'exit-debugger.
1624
1625         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1626         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1627
1628         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1629
1630 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1631
1632         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
1633         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1634         ("position"): New command.
1635         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1636         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
1637         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
1638         to return a valid state.)
1639         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
1640
1641 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1642
1643         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1644         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
1645         Badros.)
1646
1647 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1648
1649         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1650         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1651
1652 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1653
1654         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
1655
1656         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.

1666         Handle errors.
1667
1668 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1669
1670         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1671         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1672
1673         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1674
1675 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1676
1677         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1678         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1679         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1680         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1681
1682         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1683         argument.
1684
1685         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1686         both forward and backward views of the stack
1687         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1688         Use selector `frame-number';
1689         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1690         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1691         Use (ice-9 debug).
1692         Use readline conditionally.
1693
1694 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1695
1696         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1697         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1698         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1699
1700         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1701         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
1702         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
1703
1704 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1705
1706         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1707
1708         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1709
1710         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1711
1712         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1713
1714 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1715
1716         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1717         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
1718         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
1719         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1720         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1721         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1722         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1723         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1724         libguile-config-stamp.
1725         * version.scm.in: Delete.
1726         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1727         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1728         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1729         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1730
1731 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1732
1733         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1734         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1735         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1736
1737         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1738         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1739         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1740         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
1741         readline.
1742
1743         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1744
1745 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1746
1747         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1748
1749 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1750
1751         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1752         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1753
1754 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1755
1756         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1757         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1758         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1759         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1760         objects starting with '#/'.
1761
1762 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1763
1764         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1765         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1766         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1767         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1768         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1769         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1770         `observer-id'.
1771         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1772         module-modified): New procedures.
1773         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1774         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1775
1776 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1777
1778         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1779         defines.
1780
1781 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1782
1783         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1784         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1785         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1786
1787         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1788         position.
1789
1790 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1791
1792         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1793         at multiple calls to read.
1794         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1795         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1796         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1797         continued-lines prompt.
1798
1799         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1800         reading expressions.
1801
1802 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1803
1804         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1805         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1806
1807 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1808
1809         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1810         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
1811         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1812
1813         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1814
1815         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1816         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1817
1818         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1819         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
1820         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1821         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1822         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1823         instead of a port.
1824
1825 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1826
1827         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1828         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1829
1830         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1831
1832         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
1833         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
1834         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1835         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1836
1837         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1838
1839         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1840
1841         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
1842         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1843         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
1844         an alist.
1845
1846         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1847
1848         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1849         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1850         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1851         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1852         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1853         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1854         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1855         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1856         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1857         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1858         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.

1860         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1861
1862         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1863         peeked from the stream.
1864         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1865         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1866         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1867
1868         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1869
1870         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1871         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1872
1873         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1874
1875         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1876         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
1877         exiting repl with single control-D.
1878
1879         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1880
1881         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1882         error catching loop after quit received.
1883         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1884
1885         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1886         primitive exit if non-interactive.
1887         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1888
1889         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1890         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1891         boot-9.scm.
1892         * popen.scm: new file.
1893
1894 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1895
1896        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
1897        (reverse-iota):  removed.
1898
1899 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1900
1901         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1902         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1903
1904 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1905
1906         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1907         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1908         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1909         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1910         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1911
1912 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1913
1914         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1915
1916         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1917         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1918
1919         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1920         Guile's module system.
1921
1922         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1923         changes:
1924         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1925         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1926         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1927         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
1928         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1929         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1930         modern CL behavior.
1931         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1932         '() when the condition is false.
1933
1934 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1935
1936         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1937
1938 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1939
1940         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1941
1942 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1943
1944         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1945         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1946         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1947
1948 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1949
1950         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1951         argument order for hash-fold.
1952
1953 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1954
1955         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
1956         resolve-module.
1957         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1958         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1959
1960         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1961         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1962         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1963         has been added to the load path).
1964
1965         Use try-load-module.
1966
1967 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1968
1969         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
1970         module between system and user state.
1971
1972 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1973
1974         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1975
1976         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1977         definition.
1978
1979 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1980
1981         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1982         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1983         system can create a wrapper class for it.
1984
1985 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1986
1987         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1988         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
1989         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1990         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1991         stack frame encountered.
1992
1993         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1994         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1995         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1996         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1997         list).]
1998
1999         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2000         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2001         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2002         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2003         please tell me!]
2004
2005         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2006         define-module switches:
2007
2008         (define-module (foo)
2009           :no-backtrace)
2010
2011         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2012         modules.
2013
2014         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2015         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2016         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2017         module it is a system frame.
2018
2019         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2020         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2021         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2022         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2023         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2024
2025         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2026         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
2027         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2028         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2029         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
2030         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2031
2032         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2033         status of a module.;
2034         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2035         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2036
2037         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2038         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2039         closure to the module.
2040
2041         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2042
2043 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2044

2050
2051 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2052
2053         Fix from Russ McManus:
2054         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2055         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2056         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2057         either an optional or required value.
2058
2059 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2060
2061         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2062
2063         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2064         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2065
2066         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2067         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2068         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2069         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2070
2071 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2072
2073         * optargs.scm: New file.
2074         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2075         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2076
2077 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2078
2079         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2080         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2081         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2082
2083 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2084
2085         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2086         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2087         for isn't loaded.
2088
2089 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2090
2091         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2092
2093 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2094
2095         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2096         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2097         applied to the module itself.
2098
2099 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2100
2101         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2102
2103         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2104         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2105
2106 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2107
2108         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

2113
2114 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2115
2116         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2117         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2118
2119 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2120
2121         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2122         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2123         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2124         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2125         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2126         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2127         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2128
2129 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2130
2131         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2132         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2133
2134 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2135
2136         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2137         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2138         static libraries.
2139
2140 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2141
2142         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2143
2144 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2145
2146         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2147
2148 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2149
2150         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2151         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2152         adapt to the new hooks.
2153
2154 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2155
2156         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2157         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2158         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2159         code.
2160         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2161         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2162
2163         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2164         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2165         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2166         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2167         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2168         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2169         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2170         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2171         first to register linked modules.
2172
2173         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2174         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2175         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2176
2177         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2178         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2179         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2180         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2181
2182         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2183         to use from C:
2184         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2185         libguile/feature.c.
2186
2187         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2188         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2189         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2190
2191 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2192
2193         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2194         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2195         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2196
2197 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2198
2199         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2200         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2201         result of the last form.
2202
2203 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2204
2205         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2206         syncase.scm.
2207
2208         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2209
2210         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2211         readline-set!: New options interface.
2212
2213         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2214
2215 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2216
2217         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2218         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2219
2220 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2221
2222         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2223         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2224
2225 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2226
2227         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2228         interactive session.
2229         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2230
2231         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2232         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2233
2234 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2235
2236         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2237
2238 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2239
2240         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2241         read line was empty.
2242
2243 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2244
2245         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2246         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2247
2248         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2249
2250         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2251         problem.  Duh.
2252         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2253         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2254         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2255
2256         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2257         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2258         into...
2259         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2260         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2261         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2262
2263         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2264         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2265         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2266         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2267         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2268         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2269         psyntax.ss.
2270         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2271
2272         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2273         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2274
2275 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2276
2277         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2278         and short vectors #h(...).
2279
2280 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2281
2282         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2283         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2284         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2285
2286 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2287
2288         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2289         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2290         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2291
2292 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2293
2294         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2295         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2296
2297         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2298         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2299         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2300         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2301
2302 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2303
2304         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2305         trace flag.
2306
2307         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2308         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2309         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2310         context with traps enabled.
2311
2312 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2313
2314         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2315         module.
2316         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2317
2318 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2319
2320         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2321         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2322         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2323         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2324         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2325
2326 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2327
2328         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2329         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2330
2331 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2332
2333         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2334
2335 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2336
2337         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2338
2339 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2340
2341         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2342
2343 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2344
2345         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2346         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2347
2348 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2349
2350         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2351         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2352         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2353         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
2354         Archibald.)
2355
2356         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2357         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2358         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2359
2360 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2361
2362         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2363         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2364         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2365         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
2366         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2367         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2368         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2369
2370 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2371
2372         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2373
2374 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2375
2376         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2377         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2378         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
2379         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2380         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2381         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2382
2383 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2384
2385         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2386         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2387         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
2388         Steven G. Johnson.)
2389
2390 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2391
2392         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2393
2394 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2395
2396         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2397
2398 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2399
2400         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2401         be completed.
2402
2403 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2404
2405         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2406
2407 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2408
2409         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2410         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2411
2412 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2413
2414         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2415         similar in use to `use-modules'.
2416         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2417         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2418         transformer.
2419         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2420         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2421
2422 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2423
2424         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2425
2426 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2427
2428         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2429         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2430         completion.
2431
2432         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2433         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2434
2435         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2436         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2437         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2438
2439         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2440
2441 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2442
2443         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2444
2445         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2446         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2447
2448 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2449
2450         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2451
2452 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2453
2454         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
2455         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2456
2457         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2458
2459         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
2460         obsolete.
2461
2462 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2463
2464         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2465         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2466
2467 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2468
2469         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2470
2471 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2472
2473         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
2474         Stachowiak.)
2475
2476 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2477
2478         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2479         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
2480         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2481         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2482         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2483         threads.
2484
2485 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2486
2487         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2488         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2489         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2490
2491 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2492
2493         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2494
2495         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2496         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2497
2498 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2499
2500         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2501         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2502         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2503         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2504         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
2505         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2506         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2507         to go here.
2508
2509 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2510
2511         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2512         is now a fluid.
2513
2514 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2515
2516         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2517         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2518         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
2519         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
2520         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2521         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2522
2523 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2524
2525         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2526         usefully so they will work from a script.
2527
2528 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2529
2530         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2531         neighborhood of the record code.
2532
2533 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2534
2535         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
2536         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2537         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2538         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2539
2540 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2541
2542         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2543         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2544         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2545
2546 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2547
2548         Add support for readline function.
2549         * readline.scm: New module.
2550         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2551         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2552         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2553         anything.
2554         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2555         repl-reader to use them.
2556         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2557
2558         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2559
2560 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2561
2562         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2563         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2564
2565 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2566
2567         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2568         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.

2572
2573         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
2574         #f, abort terminates the process.
2575         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2576         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
2577

2592         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2593         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2594         user field).
2595         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by

2603
2604         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2605         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2606         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2607         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2608         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2609         boot-9.scm.
2610         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2611         distribution and installation.
2612         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2617
2618 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2619
2620         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2621         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
2622         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2623
2624         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2625         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2626         symbol.
2627
2628 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2637         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2638         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2639         field a separate argument.
2640
2641         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2642

2646
2647         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

2657         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2658         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2659         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2660         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2661         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
2662         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2663         registered.
2664         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2665         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2666         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2667         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2668         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2669         link a .so-file.

2681
2682         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2683
2684         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2685         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2686         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
2687         expansion inside the slib module.
2688
2689         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

2697         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2698
2699         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2700         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2701         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2702         source.
2703         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2704         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2705         been loaded.
2706
2707 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

2717         mutator for module-associated transformer.

2721         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
2722         module.
2723         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
2724
2725 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2726
2727         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2728
2729         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2730         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2731         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2732         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2733         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2734
2735         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2736         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as

2738         syncase macros.

2740         the syncase interface.

2743
2744         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2745         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2746         workings of the current module system).
2747
2748 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2749
2750         * psyntax.ss: Updated.

2761
2762         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2763         according to the following priorities:
2764         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2765         2. bindings from the-scm-module
2766         3. tcl bindings
2767         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2768         disabling the scheme interpreter.
2769         (new-interpreter): New function.
2770
2771         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2772         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2773         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

2790
2791         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2792         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
2793         source!

2805
2806         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2807         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;

2809         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2810         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the

2826
2827         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling

2829         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2830
2831         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.

2848
2849         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2850         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2851         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2852
2853         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2854         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2855         the top.

2876
2877         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2878         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
2879         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.

2913         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2914         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2915         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
2916         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2917         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2918         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2919
2920         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2921         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2922         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2923         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)

2925 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2926
2927         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2928         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
2929         sending in bug reports.
2930         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2931         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2932         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2933         display a warning if the two are different.
2934         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2935         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2936         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2937
2938 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2939
2940         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
2941
2942 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2943
2944         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2945         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2946
2947         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2948         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2949         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2950         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2951         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2952         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2953         that's okay.
2954
2955         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
2956         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2957         regexp interface.
2958
2959         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2960         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
2961
2962         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2963         function names.
2964
2965         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2966         fixes.
2967
2968 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2969
2970         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2971         ../configure.in.
2972
2973 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2974
2975         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2976         vtable and not the one of the struct.
2977
2978 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2979
2980         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2981         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2982         to support printing of structures.
2983         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2984         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
2985         commented out printing code.
2986         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2987         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2988
2989 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2990
2991         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2992
2993 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2994
2995         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2996         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2997         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2998         during call to scm-style-repl.
2999
3000 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3001
3002         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3003         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3004         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3005         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3006         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3007
3008 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3009
3010         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3011         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3012         (ice-9 regex).
3013
3014 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3015
3016         * regex.scm: New file.
3017         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3018         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3019
3020 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3021
3022         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
3023         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
3024         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
3025         threads.scm: New address for FSF.

3028
3029         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
3030         in 1997.
3031
3032 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3033
3034         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3035         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3036         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3037
3038 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3039
3040         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3041         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3042         here.
3043
3044 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3045
3046         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3047
3048 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3049
3050         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3051
3052 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3053
3054         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3055         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3056         fixes this too.
3057
3058 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3059
3060         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3061         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3062         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3063
3064 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3065
3066         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3067         the Scheme code like code yet.
3068         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3069
3070 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3071
3072         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3073         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3074         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3075
3076 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3077
3078         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3079         use-modules macro
3080         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3081         can't be found.
3082
3083 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3084
3085         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3086
3087 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3088
3089         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3090
3091         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3092         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3093         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3094
3095 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3096
3097         Get 'make dist' to work again.
3098         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3099         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
3100
3101         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3102         no plugins.
3103         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3104         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3105
3106 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3107
3108         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
3109         functions.
3110

3112
3113         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
3114
3115 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3116
3117         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3118         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
3119
3120 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3121
3122         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3123         instead of in libguile.
3124         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3125         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3126
3127 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3128
3129         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3130         procedures.
3131         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3132         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3133
3134 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3135
3136         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3137         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3138
3139 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3140
3141         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3142         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3143         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3144         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3145
3146 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3147
3148         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3149         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3150
3151 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3152
3153         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3154
3155 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3156
3157         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3158         keywords and symbols.
3159
3160 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3161
3162         * slib.scm: update read usage.
3163
3164         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3165         Don't define read-sharp.
3166
3167         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3168         (read-sharp): removed.
3169         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3170         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3171
3172 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3173
3174         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3175
3176         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
3177         primitive procedure.)
3178
3179         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3180         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3181
3182 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3183
3184         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3185
3186 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3187
3188         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3189
3190 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3191
3192         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3193         read gets EOF.
3194         * (exit): alias for quit.
3195
3196 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3197
3198         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3199         return the quit args.
3200         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3201         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3202         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3203
3204         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3205
3206 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3207
3208         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3209
3210         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3211         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3212
3213         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3214         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3215
3216         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3217         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3218         of handlers.
3219
3220 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3221
3222         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3223
3224         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3225         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3226         Change hooks to use these functions.
3227
3228         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3229         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3230         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3231         the source! :-)
3232         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3233         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3234         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3235         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3236         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3237         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3238         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3239         traced.
3240
3241         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3242         and exit-frame exceptions.
3243
3244         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3245         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3246         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3247         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3248         result; otherwise display "> ".
3249         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3250
3251         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3252         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3253         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the

3257
3258         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3259         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3260         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3261         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3262         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3263         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3264
3265 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3266
3267         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3268         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3269         and eval.
3270         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3271         "defined?".
3272         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3273         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3274
3275 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3276
3277         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3278
3279 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3280
3281         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3282         %read-sharp layer.
3283
3284 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3285
3286         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3287         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3288
3289 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3290
3291         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3292         backtrace.c.)
3293
3294 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3295
3296         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3297         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3298
3299 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3300
3301         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3302
3303         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3304         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3305         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3306         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3307         dynamic linking of modules.
3308         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3309         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3310
3311 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3312
3313         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3314
3315 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3316
3317         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3318         that's what it is.
3319
3320         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3321         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3322         was false.
3323
3324 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3325
3326         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3327         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3328         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3329
3330 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3331
3332         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3333         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
3334         yet.
3335
3336 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3337
3338         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3339         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3340         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3341
3342 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3343
3344         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3345         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3346         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3347         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3348
3349         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3350         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3351         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3352         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3353         (such as the-scm-module).
3354
3355 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3356
3357         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3358         %search-load-path.
3359
3360 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
3361
3362         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3363         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3364         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3365
3366 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3367
3368         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3369         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3370         function, use it accordingly.
3371
3372 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3373
3374         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
3375         function of no arguments.
3376         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3377         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3378         set-current-module): Uses changed.
3379         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3380         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3381         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3382         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3383         *top-level-eval-closure*.
3384
3385 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3386
3387         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3388         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3389
3390 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3391
3392         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3393         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3394         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
3395         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
3396         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3397
3398         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3399         `*features*'.
3400
3401         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3402         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
3403         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3404         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3405
3406         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3407
3408         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3409
3410         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3411         If the user wants to see this, he can do
3412         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3413
3414         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3415         error.
3416
3417         Added `before-read-hook'.
3418
3419         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3420
3421         (provide): New function.
3422
3423         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3424         in backtraces.
3425
3426         (backtrace): New function.
3427
3428         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3429         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3430         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
3431         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3432         is found in operator position in a frame.
3433
3434         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3435         by default.
3436
3437         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3438         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3439         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3440
3441         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
3442
3443         (library-vicinity): Updated.
3444
3445         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3446
3447         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3448
3449 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3450
3451         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3452
3453         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3454         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
3455
3456         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3457         so they'll get distributed.
3458
3459         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
3460         should see as little clutter as possible.
3461         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3462         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3463         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3464
3465         * r4rs.scm: New file.
3466         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3467         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3468         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3469         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3470         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3471         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3472         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3473         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3474         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3475         that are not.
3476         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3477         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3478
3479         * test.scm: New file.
3480
3481         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3482         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
3483         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3484
3485         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3486         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3487
3488         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3489         work now.
3490         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
3491         call %load-announce.
3492
3493 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3494
3495         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3496         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3497         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3498         components.
3499         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3500
3501 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3502
3503         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3504         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3505         SCSH (which this isn't).
3506
3507 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3508
3509         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3510
3511 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3512
3513         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3514         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3515         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3516         these.
3517         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
3518         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
3519         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3520         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3521         save-stack.
3522
3523 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3524
3525         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3526
3527         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3528
3529         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3530         error-catching-loop.
3531         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3532         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3533         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3534
3535         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3536         error-catching-loop.
3537
3538 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3539
3540         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3541         (make-module): Rework for readability.
3542         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3543         should be '(), not #f.
3544
3545         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3546         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3547
3548 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3549
3550         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3551         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3552         error-signal.
3553
3554 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3555
3556         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3557         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3558         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3559         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3560
3561 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3562
3563         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3564
3565 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3566
3567         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3568
3569         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3570         throw-handler-default.
3571         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3572         reported.
3573         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3574         acro.
3575         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3576         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3577
3578 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3579
3580         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3581         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3582         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3583         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3584
3585 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3586
3587         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3588         Append "." to the default %load-path.
3589         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3590         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3591         ...))
3592         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3593         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3594         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3595         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before

3599
3600         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3601
3602         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3603         distribution.
3604
3605         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3606         `switch-repl'.
3607
3608         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3609
3610 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3611
3612         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3613         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3614
3615 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3616
3617         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3618
3619         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3620
3621 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3622
3623         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
3624         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3625         Don't set up 'error as a key.
3626         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3627         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3628
3629         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3630         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3631         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3632         they seem redundant.
3633         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3634         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
3635         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3636         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
3637         directly files starting with "/").
3638         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3639         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3640
3641         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3642
3643 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3644
3645         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3646         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3647         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
3648         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3649         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3650         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3651         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
3652         robust to just do it in the C code.
3653
3654 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3655
3656         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
3657         %try-load itself was the primitive.
3658         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3659         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3660         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3661
3662 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3663
3664         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3665         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3666         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3667
3668 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3669
3670         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3671         system-error, not every kind of error.
3672         (scm-error): new procedure.
3673
3674 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3675
3676         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3677
3678 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3679
3680         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3681         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
3682         of args are supplied.
3683         (%%system-errors): removed.
3684         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3685         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3686         %%handle-system-error.
3687         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3688         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3689         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3690         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3691
3692 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3693
3694         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3695         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3696         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3697         %S (embed an argument using "write").
3698
3699 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3700
3701         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3702         the empty list if they are #f.
3703         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3704
3705 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3706
3707         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3708
3709         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3710         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3711         aborting, just the key and subr.
3712         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3713         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3714         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
3715
3716 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3717
3718         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3719         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
3720         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3721         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3722         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
3723
3724 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3725
3726         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
3727         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
3728         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
3729         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
3730
3731 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3732
3733         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
3734         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
3735         initialize %load-path.
3736
3737         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3738         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
3739
3740 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3741
3742         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3743         Add the directory named after the version number.
3744         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
3745         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
3746         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
3747         sitedatadir): New definitions.

3753 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3754
3755         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3756         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3757         in the Makefile directly.
3758         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3759         for these.
3760         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
3761         aux_files.

3773
3774         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
3775         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)

3792         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
3793         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

3796
3797         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
3798         (manifest): Deleted.
3799         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

3801
3802 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3803
3804         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
3805         now that they throw errors directly.
3806         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
3807         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
3808
