   1 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
   2
   3         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
   4
   5 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
   6
   7         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
   8         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
   9         for the hint.
  10
  11         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
  12         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
  13         tail recursive yet.
  14
  15 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  16

  19
  20         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
  21         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
  22         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
  23         See NEWS.
  24         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
  25
  26         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
  27
  28 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  29
  30         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
  31         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
  32
  33 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  34
  35         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
  36         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
  37
  38 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  39
  40         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
  41         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
  42
  43 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  44
  45         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.

  50
  51 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  52
  53         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
  54         '() instead of #f.
  55         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
  56         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
  57         `the-root-module'.
  58         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
  59
  60         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
  61         documentation.scm.

  64         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
  65         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
  66         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.

  72
  73 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  74
  75         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
  76         (write-all): Removed.
  77         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
  78         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
  79
  80 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  81
  82         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
  83
  84 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  85
  86         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
  87         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
  88         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
  89         closure.
  90
  91 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  92
  93         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
  94         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
  95         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
  96         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
  97         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
  98         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
  99         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 100
 101 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 102
 103         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
 104         accept complex numbers as parameter.
 105
 106 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 107
 108         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
 109         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
 110
 111 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 112
 113         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 114         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 115         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 116         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 117         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 118         delete-if! when iterating.
 119
 120 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 121
 122         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 123
 124 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 125
 126         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 127
 128 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 129
 130         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 131         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 132         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 133         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 134
 135 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 136
 137         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 138         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 139
 140 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 141
 142         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 143         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 144         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 145         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 146
 147 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 148
 149         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 150         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 151
 152 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 153
 154         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 155         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 156
 157 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 158
 159         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 160         Dirk Hermann!
 161
 162 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 163
 164         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 165         source of the numerous very short changes.
 166
 167 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 168
 169         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 170         public.
 171
 172         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 173         info pages.
 174
 175 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 176
 177         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 178         from slib docs.
 179
 180 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 181
 182         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 183         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 184
 185 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 186
 187         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 188         to string-append.
 189
 190 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 191
 192         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 193         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 194         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 195
 196 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 197
 198         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 199         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 200         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 201         Narazaki for this change.
 202
 203 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 204
 205         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 206         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 207         %S.
 208
 209         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 210         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 211
 212 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 213
 214         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 215         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 216
 217 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 218
 219         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 220         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 221         use define-public to export from the module.
 222
 223 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 224
 225         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 226         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 227         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
 228
 229 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 230
 231         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
 232
 233 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 234
 235         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
 236         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
 237
 238 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 239
 240         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
 241
 242         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
 243
 244         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
 245
 246 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 247
 248         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
 249         long_long uniform vectors.
 250
 251 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 252
 253         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
 254         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
 255
 256 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 257
 258         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 259         script to create generated files like this one.
 260
 261 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 262
 263         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 264         available before using getpw and getuid.
 265         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
 266         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
 267         check for stat.
 268         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
 269         check for .guile, instead of stat.
 270         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
 271         available.
 272         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 273         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 274         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 275
 276         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 277         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 278
 279         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 280
 281 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 282
 283         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
 284         than 'exit-debugger.
 285
 286         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
 287         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.

 297         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
 298         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
 299         to return a valid state.)
 300         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
 301
 302 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 303
 304         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
 305         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 306         Badros.)
 307
 308 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 309
 310         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 311         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 312
 313 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 314
 315         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

 324         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
 325         expression.
 326         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
 327         Handle errors.
 328
 329 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 330
 331         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 332         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 333
 334         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
 335
 336 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 337
 338         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 339         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 340         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 341         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 342
 343         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 344         argument.
 345
 346         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 347         both forward and backward views of the stack
 348         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 349         Use selector `frame-number';
 350         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 351         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 352         Use (ice-9 debug).
 353         Use readline conditionally.
 354
 355 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 356
 357         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 358         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 359         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 360
 361         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 362         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 363         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 364
 365 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 366
 367         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.

 372
 373         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 374
 375 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 376
 377         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 378         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 379         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 380         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 381         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 382         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 383         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 384         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 385         libguile-config-stamp.
 386         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 387         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 388         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 389         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 390         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 391
 392 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 393
 394         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 395         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 396         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 397
 398         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 399         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 400         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 401         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 402         readline.
 403
 404         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 405
 406 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 407
 408         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 409
 410 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 411
 412         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 413         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 414
 415 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 416
 417         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 418         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 419         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 420         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 421         objects starting with '#/'.
 422
 423 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 424
 425         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 426         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 427         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 428         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 429         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 430         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 431         `observer-id'.
 432         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 433         module-modified): New procedures.
 434         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 435         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 436
 437 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 438
 439         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 440         defines.
 441
 442 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 443
 444         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 445         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 446         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 447
 448         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 449         position.
 450
 451 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 452
 453         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 454         at multiple calls to read.
 455         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 456         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 457         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 458         continued-lines prompt.
 459
 460         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 461         reading expressions.
 462
 463 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 464
 465         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 466         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 467
 468 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 469
 470         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 471         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 472         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 473
 474         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 475
 476         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 477         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 478
 479         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 480         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 481         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 482         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 483         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 484         instead of a port.
 485
 486 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 487
 488         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 489         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 490
 491         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 492
 493         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 494         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 495         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 496         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 497
 498         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 499
 500         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 501
 502         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 503         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 504         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 505         an alist.
 506
 507         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 508
 509         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 510         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 511         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 512         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 513         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 514         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 515         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 516         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 517         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 518         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 519         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 520
 521         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 522
 523         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 524         peeked from the stream.
 525         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 526         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 527         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 528
 529         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 530
 531         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 532         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 533
 534         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 535
 536         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 537         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 538         exiting repl with single control-D.
 539
 540         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 541
 542         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 543         error catching loop after quit received.
 544         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 545
 546         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 547         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 548         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 549
 550         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 551         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 552         boot-9.scm.
 553         * popen.scm: new file.
 554
 555 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 556
 557        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 558        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 559
 560 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 561
 562         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 563         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 564
 565 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 566
 567         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 568         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 569         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 570         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 571         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 572
 573 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 574
 575         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 576
 577         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 578         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 579
 580         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 581         Guile's module system.
 582
 583         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 584         changes:
 585         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 586         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 587         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 588         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 589         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 590         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 591         modern CL behavior.
 592         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 593         '() when the condition is false.
 594
 595 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 596
 597         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 598
 599 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 600
 601         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 602
 603 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 604
 605         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 606         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 607         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 608
 609 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 610
 611         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 612         argument order for hash-fold.
 613
 614 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 615
 616         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 617         resolve-module.
 618         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 619         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 620
 621         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 622         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 623         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 624         has been added to the load path).
 625
 626         Use try-load-module.
 627
 628 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 629
 630         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 631         module between system and user state.
 632
 633 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 634
 635         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 636
 637         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 638         definition.
 639
 640 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 641
 642         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 643         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 644         system can create a wrapper class for it.
 645
 646 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 647
 648         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
 649         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
 650         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
 651         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
 652         stack frame encountered.
 653
 654         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
 655         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
 656         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
 657         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
 658         list).]
 659
 660         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
 661         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
 662         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
 663         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
 664         please tell me!]
 665
 666         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
 667         define-module switches:
 668
 669         (define-module (foo)
 670           :no-backtrace)
 671
 672         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
 673         modules.
 674
 675         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
 676         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
 677         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
 678         module it is a system frame.
 679
 680         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
 681         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
 682         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
 683         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
 684         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
 685
 686         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
 687         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
 688         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
 689         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
 690         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
 691         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
 692
 693         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
 694         status of a module.;
 695         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
 696         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
 697
 698         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
 699         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
 700         closure to the module.
 701
 702         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
 703
 704 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 705
 706         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
 707
 708 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 709
 710         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
 711
 712 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 713
 714         Fix from Russ McManus:
 715         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
 716         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
 717         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
 718         either an optional or required value.
 719
 720 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 721
 722         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
 723
 724         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
 725         of the '() key, not `rest'.
 726
 727         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
 728         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
 729         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.

 745
 746         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
 747         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
 748         for isn't loaded.
 749
 750 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 751
 752         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 753
 754 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 755
 756         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
 757         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
 758         applied to the module itself.
 759
 760 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 761
 762         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
 763
 764         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
 765         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
 766
 767 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 768
 769         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
 770
 771 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 772
 773         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
 774
 775 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 776
 777         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
 778         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
 779
 780 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 781
 782         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
 783         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
 784         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
 785         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
 786         among BINDINGS is referenced.
 787         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
 788         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
 789
 790 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 791
 792         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
 793         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
 794
 795 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 796
 797         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
 798         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
 799         static libraries.
 800
 801 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 802
 803         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
 804
 805 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 806
 807         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
 808
 809 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 810
 811         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
 812         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
 813         adapt to the new hooks.
 814
 815 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 816
 817         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
 818         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
 819         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
 820         code.
 821         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
 822         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
 823
 824         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
 825         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
 826         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
 827         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
 828         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
 829         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
 830         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
 831         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
 832         first to register linked modules.
 833
 834         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
 835         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
 836         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
 837
 838         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
 839         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
 840         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
 841         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
 842
 843         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
 844         to use from C:
 845         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
 846         libguile/feature.c.
 847
 848         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
 849         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
 850         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
 851
 852 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 853
 854         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
 855         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
 856         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
 857
 858 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 859
 860         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
 861         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
 862         result of the last form.
 863
 864 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 865
 866         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
 867         syncase.scm.
 868
 869         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
 870
 871         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
 872         readline-set!: New options interface.
 873
 874         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
 875
 876 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 877
 878         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
 879         at the end of boot-9.scm.
 880
 881 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 882
 883         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
 884         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 885
 886 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 887
 888         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
 889         interactive session.
 890         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
 891
 892         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
 893         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
 894
 895 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 896
 897         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
 898
 899 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 900
 901         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
 902         read line was empty.
 903
 904 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 905
 906         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
 907         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
 908
 909         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
 910
 911         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
 912         problem.  Duh.
 913         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
 914         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
 915         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
 916
 917         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
 918         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
 919         into...
 920         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
 921         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
 922         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
 923
 924         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
 925         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
 926         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
 927         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
 928         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
 929         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
 930         psyntax.ss.
 931         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 932
 933         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 934         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 935
 936 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 937
 938         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
 939         and short vectors #h(...).
 940
 941 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 942
 943         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
 944         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
 945         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
 946
 947 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 948
 949         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
 950         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
 951         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
 952
 953 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 954
 955         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
 956         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
 957
 958         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
 959         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
 960         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
 961         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
 962
 963 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 964
 965         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
 966         trace flag.
 967
 968         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
 969         order to allow the empty list as arg.
 970         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
 971         context with traps enabled.
 972
 973 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 974
 975         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
 976         module.
 977         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
 978
 979 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 980
 981         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
 982         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
 983         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
 984         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
 985         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
 986
 987 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 988
 989         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
 990         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
 991
 992 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 993
 994         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
 995
 996 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 997
 998         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
 999
1000 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1001
1002         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1003
1004 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1005
1006         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1007         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1008
1009 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1010
1011         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1012         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1013         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1014         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1015         Archibald.)
1016
1017         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1018         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1019         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1020
1021 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1022
1023         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1024         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1025         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1026         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1027         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1028         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1029         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1030
1031 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1032
1033         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1034
1035 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1036
1037         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1038         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1039         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1040         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1041         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1042         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1043
1044 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1045
1046         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1047         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1048         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1049         Steven G. Johnson.)
1050
1051 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1052
1053         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1054
1055 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1056
1057         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1058
1059 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1060
1061         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1062         be completed.
1063
1064 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1065
1066         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1067
1068 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1069
1070         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1071         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1072
1073 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1074
1075         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1076         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1077         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1078         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1079         transformer.
1080         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1081         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1082
1083 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1084
1085         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1086
1087 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1088
1089         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1090         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1091         completion.
1092
1093         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1094         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1095
1096         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1097         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1098         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1099
1100         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1101
1102 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1103
1104         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1105
1106         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1107         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1108
1109 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1111         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1112
1113 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1114
1115         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1116         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1117
1118         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1119
1120         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1121         obsolete.
1122
1123 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1124
1125         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1126         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1127
1128 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1129
1130         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1131
1132 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1133
1134         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1135         Stachowiak.)
1136
1137 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1138
1139         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1140         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1141         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1142         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1143         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1144         threads.
1145
1146 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1147
1148         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1149         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1150         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1151
1152 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1153
1154         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1155
1156         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1157         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1158
1159 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1160
1161         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1162         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1163         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1164         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1165         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1166         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1167         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1168         to go here.
1169
1170 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1171
1172         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1173         is now a fluid.
1174
1175 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1176
1177         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1178         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1179         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1180         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1181         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1182         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1183
1184 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1185
1186         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1187         usefully so they will work from a script.
1188
1189 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1190
1191         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1192         neighborhood of the record code.
1193
1194 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1195
1196         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1197         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1198         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1199         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1200
1201 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1202
1203         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1204         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1205         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1206
1207 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1208
1209         Add support for readline function.
1210         * readline.scm: New module.
1211         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1212         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1213         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1214         anything.
1215         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1216         repl-reader to use them.
1217         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1218
1219         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1220
1221 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1222
1223         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1224         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1225
1226 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1227
1228         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1229         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1230         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1231
1232 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1233
1234         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1235         #f, abort terminates the process.
1236         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1237         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1238
1239 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1240
1241         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1242         print-state, throw it away.
1243
1244 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1245
1246         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1247         `0'.
1248
1249 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1250
1251         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1252         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1253         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1254         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1255         user field).
1256         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1257         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1258
1259 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1260
1261         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1262
1263 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1264
1265         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1266         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1267         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1268         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1269         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1270         boot-9.scm.
1271         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1272         distribution and installation.
1273         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1274
1275 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1276
1277         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1278
1279 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1280
1281         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1282         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1283         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1284
1285         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1286         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1287         symbol.
1288
1289 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1290
1291         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1292
1293         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1294
1295 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1296
1297         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1298         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1299         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1300         field a separate argument.
1301
1302         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1303
1304 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1305
1306         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1307
1308         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1309         vicinity;
1310         Provide defmacro.
1311
1312 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1313
1314         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1315
1316 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1317
1318         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1319         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1320         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1321         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1322         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1323         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1324         registered.
1325         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1326         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1327         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1328         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1329         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1330         link a .so-file.
1331
1332 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1333
1334         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
1335
1336 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1337
1338         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1339         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1340
1341 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1342
1343         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1344
1345         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1346         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1347         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1348         expansion inside the slib module.
1349
1350         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1351         constructors.
1352         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1353         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
1354         (let): New core form.
1355         (if): Removed from core language.
1356         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
1357         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
1358         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1359
1360         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1361         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1362         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1363         source.
1364         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1365         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1366         been loaded.
1367
1368 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1369
1370         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1371         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1372         `use-syntax'.
1373         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1374
1375         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1376         (make-module): Modified initialization.
1377         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1378         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1379         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1380         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1381         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1382         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1383         module.
1384         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1385
1386 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1387
1388         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1389
1390         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1391         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1392         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1393         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1394         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1395
1396         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1397         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1398         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1399         syncase macros.
1400         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1401         the syncase interface.
1402
1403 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1404
1405         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1406         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1407         workings of the current module system).
1408
1409 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1410
1411         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1412         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1413         off!
1414
1415 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1416
1417         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1418         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1419         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1420
1421 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1422
1423         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1424         according to the following priorities:
1425         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1426         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1427         3. tcl bindings
1428         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1429         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1430         (new-interpreter): New function.
1431
1432         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1433         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1434         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1435
1436 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1437
1438         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1439
1440 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1441
1442         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
1443
1444 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1445
1446         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1447         procedures.
1448         (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
1449
1450 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1451
1452         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1453         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the

1487
1488         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1489         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1490         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1491
1492         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.

1509
1510         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1511         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1512         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1513
1514         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1515         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1516         the top.
1517

1535
1536 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1537
1538         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1539         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1540         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1541
1542 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1543

1554
1555 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1556
1557         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1558         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1559         a default of /.
1560
1561         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1562
1563 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1566         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1567         notation, instead of #/ notation.

1570         make-regexp.
1571

1573
1574         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1575         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1576         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1577         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1578         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1579         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1580
1581         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1582         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1583         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1584         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1585
1586 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1587
1588         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1589         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1590         sending in bug reports.
1591         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1592         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1593         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1594         display a warning if the two are different.
1595         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1596         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1597         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1598
1599 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1602
1603 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1604
1605         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1606         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1607
1608         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1609         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1610         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1611         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1612         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1613         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1614         that's okay.
1615
1616         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1617         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1618         regexp interface.
1619
1620         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1621         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
1622
1623         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1624         function names.
1625
1626         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1627         fixes.
1628
1629 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1630
1631         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1632         ../configure.in.
1633
1634 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1635
1636         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1637         vtable and not the one of the struct.
1638
1639 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1640
1641         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1642         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1643         to support printing of structures.
1644         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1645         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
1646         commented out printing code.
1647         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1648         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1649
1650 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1651
1652         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1653
1654 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1655
1656         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1657         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1658         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1659         during call to scm-style-repl.
1660
1661 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1662
1663         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1664         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1665         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1666         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
1667         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
1668
1669 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1670
1671         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1672         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1673         (ice-9 regex).
1674
1675 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1676
1677         * regex.scm: New file.
1678         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1679         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1680
1681 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1682

1691         in 1997.
1692
1693 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1694
1695         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1696         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
1697         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1698
1699 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1700
1701         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1702         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1703         here.
1704
1705 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1706
1707         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

1714
1715         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1716         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1717         fixes this too.
1718
1719 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1720
1721         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1722         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1723         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
1724
1725 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1726
1727         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1728         the Scheme code like code yet.
1729         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1730
1731 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1732
1733         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1734         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
1735         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1736
1737 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1738
1739         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1740         use-modules macro
1741         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1742         can't be found.
1743
1744 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1745
1746         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.

1748 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1749
1750         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1751
1752         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1753         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1754         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.

1763         no plugins.
1764         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1765         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1776 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1777
1778         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout

1782
1783         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1784         instead of in libguile.
1785         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1786         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1787
1788 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1789

1795 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1796
1797         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1798         sockaddr:port): new functions.
1799
1800 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1801
1802         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1803         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1804         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1805         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1806
1807 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1808
1809         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1810         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1811
1812 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1813
1814         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1815
1816 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1817
1818         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1819         keywords and symbols.
1820
1821 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1822
1823         * slib.scm: update read usage.
1824
1825         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1826         Don't define read-sharp.
1827
1828         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1829         (read-sharp): removed.
1830         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1831         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1832
1833 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1834
1835         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1836
1837         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
1838         primitive procedure.)
1839
1840         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1841         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1842
1843 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1844
1845         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1846
1847 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1848
1849         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1850
1851 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1852
1853         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1854         read gets EOF.
1855         * (exit): alias for quit.
1856
1857 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1858
1859         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1860         return the quit args.
1861         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1862         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
1863         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1864
1865         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1866
1867 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1868
1869         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1870
1871         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1872         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1873
1874         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1875         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1876
1877         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1878         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1879         of handlers.
1880
1881 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1882
1883         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1884
1885         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1886         (add-hooks!): New macro.
1887         Change hooks to use these functions.
1888
1889         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
1890         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1891         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1892         the source! :-)
1893         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1894         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1895         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1896         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
1897         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1898         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1899         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1900         traced.
1901
1902         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1903         and exit-frame exceptions.
1904
1905         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1906         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1907         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1908         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1909         result; otherwise display "> ".
1910         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1911
1912         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1913         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1914         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
1915         repository version runnable.
1916
1917 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1918
1919         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1920         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
1921         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1922         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1923         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1924         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1925
1926 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1927
1928         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1929         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1930         and eval.
1931         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1932         "defined?".
1933         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1934         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
1935
1936 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1937
1938         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1939
1940 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1941
1942         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1943         %read-sharp layer.
1944
1945 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1946
1947         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1948         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1949
1950 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1951
1952         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
1953         backtrace.c.)
1954
1955 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1956
1957         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1958         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1959
1960 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1961
1962         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1963
1964         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1965         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1966         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1967         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1968         dynamic linking of modules.
1969         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1970         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1971
1972 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1973
1974         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1975
1976 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1977
1978         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1979         that's what it is.
1980
1981         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1982         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
1983         was false.
1984
1985 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1986
1987         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1988         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1989         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1990
1991 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1992
1993         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1994         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
1995         yet.
1996
1997 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1998
1999         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2000         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2001         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2002
2003 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2004
2005         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2006         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2007         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2008         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2009
2010         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2011         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2012         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2013         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2014         (such as the-scm-module).
2015
2016 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2017
2018         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2019         %search-load-path.
2020
2021 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2022
2023         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2024         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2025         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2026
2027 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2028
2029         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2030         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2031         function, use it accordingly.
2032
2033 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2034
2035         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2036         function of no arguments.
2037         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2038         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2039         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2040         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2041         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2042         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2043         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2044         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2045
2046 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2047
2048         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2049         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2050
2051 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2052
2053         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2054         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2055         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2056         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2057         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2058
2059         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2060         `*features*'.
2061
2062         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2063         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2064         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2065         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2066
2067         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2068
2069         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2070
2071         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2072         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2073         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2074
2075         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2076         error.
2077
2078         Added `before-read-hook'.
2079
2080         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2081
2082         (provide): New function.
2083
2084         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2085         in backtraces.
2086
2087         (backtrace): New function.
2088
2089         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2090         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2091         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2092         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2093         is found in operator position in a frame.
2094
2095         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2096         by default.
2097
2098         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2099         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2100         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2101
2102         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2103
2104         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2105
2106         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2107
2108         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2109
2110 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2111
2112         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2113
2114         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2115         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2116
2117         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2118         so they'll get distributed.
2119
2120         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2121         should see as little clutter as possible.
2122         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2123         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2124         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2125
2126         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2127         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2128         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2129         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2130         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2131         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2132         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2133         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2134         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2135         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2136         that are not.
2137         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2138         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2139
2140         * test.scm: New file.
2141
2142         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2143         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2144         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2145
2146         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2147         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2148
2149         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2150         work now.
2151         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2152         call %load-announce.
2153
2154 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2155
2156         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2157         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2158         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2159         components.
2160         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2161
2162 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2163
2164         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2165         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2166         SCSH (which this isn't).
2167
2168 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2169
2170         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2171
2172 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2173
2174         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2175         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2176         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2177         these.
2178         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2179         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2180         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2181         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2182         save-stack.
2183
2184 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2185
2186         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2187
2188         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2189
2190         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2191         error-catching-loop.
2192         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2193         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2194         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2195
2196         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2197         error-catching-loop.
2198
2199 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2200
2201         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2202         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2203         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2204         should be '(), not #f.
2205
2206         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2207         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2208
2209 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2210
2211         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2212         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2213         error-signal.
2214
2215 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2216
2217         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2218         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2219         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2220         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2221
2222 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2223
2224         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2225
2226 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2227
2228         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2229
2230         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2231         throw-handler-default.
2232         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2233         reported.
2234         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2235         acro.
2236         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2237         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2238
2239 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2240
2241         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2242         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2243         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2244         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2245
2246 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2247
2248         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2249         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2250         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2251         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2252         ...))
2253         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2254         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2255         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2256         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2257         file-is-directory?
2258
2259 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2260
2261         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2262
2263         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2264         distribution.
2265
2266         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2267         `switch-repl'.
2268
2269         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2270
2271 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2272
2273         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2274         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2275
2276 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2277
2278         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2279
2280         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2281
2282 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2283
2284         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2285         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2286         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2287         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2288         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2289
2290         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2291         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2292         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2293         they seem redundant.
2294         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2295         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2296         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2297         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2298         directly files starting with "/").
2299         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2300         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2301
2302         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2303
2304 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2305
2306         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2307         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2308         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2309         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2310         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2311         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2312         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2313         robust to just do it in the C code.
2314
2315 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2316
2317         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2318         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2319         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2320         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2321         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2322
2323 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2324
2325         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2326         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2327         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2328
2329 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2330
2331         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2332         system-error, not every kind of error.
2333         (scm-error): new procedure.
2334
2335 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2336
2337         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2338
2339 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2340
2341         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2342         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
2343         of args are supplied.
2344         (%%system-errors): removed.
2345         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2346         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2347         %%handle-system-error.
2348         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2349         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2350         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2351         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2352
2353 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2354
2355         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2356         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2357         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2358         %S (embed an argument using "write").
2359
2360 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2361
2362         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2363         the empty list if they are #f.
2364         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2365
2366 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2367
2368         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2369
2370         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2371         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2372         aborting, just the key and subr.
2373         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2374         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2375         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2376
2377 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2378
2379         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2380         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2381         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2382         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2383         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2384
2385 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2386
2387         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2388         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2389         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2390         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2391
2392 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2393
2394         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2395         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2396         initialize %load-path.
2397
2398         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2399         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2400
2401 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2402
2403         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2404         Add the directory named after the version number.
2405         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2406         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2407         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2408         sitedatadir): New definitions.
2409         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2410         (install): Create the above directories.
2411         Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2412         (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2413
2414 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2415
2416         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2417         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2418         in the Makefile directly.
2419         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2420         for these.
2421         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2422         aux_files.
2423         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2424         here, where people expect to find them.

2427
2428         * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2429         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2430
2431         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2432
2433 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2434
2435         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2436         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)
2437
2438 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2439
2440         * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2441         Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2442
2443         * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2444         weak-key-hash-table.
2445
2446 Sat Aug  3 06:16:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2447
2448         * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2449         (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes.  return
2450         the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2451         (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2452         (%open-file): removed.
2453         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2454         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2455
2456 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2457
2458         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2459         (manifest): Deleted.
2460         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2461         directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2462
2463 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2464
2465         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2466         now that they throw errors directly.
2467         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2468         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2469
2470 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2471
2472         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2473
2474 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>
2475
2476         * The more things change...
2477
2478
