 106
 107         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
 108         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
 109         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
 110
 111         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.

 124
 125         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
 126         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
 127         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
 128         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
 129
 130 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 131

 135         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is

 142

 144

 149         positions.

 152
 153         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 154         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 155         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 156
 157         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,
 158           channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,

 163           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
 164           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 165           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 166           exporting bindings.
 167
 168 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 169
 170         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
 171         :re-export-syntax
 172
 173 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 174
 175         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 176         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 177         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 178         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 179
 180 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 181
 182         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,

 188
 189         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.
 190
 191 2001-09-19  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>
 192
 193         * expect.scm: Commentary fix; nfc.
 194
 195         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
 196
 197 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 198
 199         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 200         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
 201
 202 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 203
 204         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 205         the `arglist' procedure property.
 206         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 207         present a more detailed argument list.
 208
 209         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 210
 211 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 212
 213         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
 214         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel
 215         Skarda.
 216
 217 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 218
 219         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
 220
 221         (feature?): Deprecated.
 222
 223         (id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags,
 224         eval-in-module, split-c-module-name,
 225         (convert-c-registered-modules, registered-modules,
 226         register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation, init-dynamic-module,
 227         dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 228         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 229         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 230         try-module-dynamic-link): Removed.
 231
 232         (module-make-local-var!, module-ensure-local-variable!,
 233         module-define!): Eliminate call to `variable-set-name-hint!´.

 236         functionality.
 237
 238         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
 239         needed to trick export.
 240

 242
 243         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.
 244
 245 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 246
 247         * and-let-star-compat.scm:  Deleted.

 250
 251 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 252
 253         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
 254         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,

 256
 257 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 258
 259         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
 260         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
 261

 263
 264         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

 284
 285 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
 286
 287         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not

 289
 290 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 291
 292         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in

 296

 300         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
 301         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
 302
 303 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 304
 305         * and-let-star.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm, history.scm,
 306         lineio.scm, null.scm, optargs.scm, r4rs.scm, r5rs.scm,
 307         receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
 308
 309 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 310
 311         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 312         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
 313
 314 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 315
 316         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
 317         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
 318         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
 319         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
 320
 321         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 322         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
 323         since there aren't definitions for them.
 324
 325         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
 326         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
 327
 328 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 329
 330         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
 331         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
 332
 333 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 334
 335         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
 336         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
 337
 338 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 339
 340         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
 341         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
 342         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
 343
 344 2001-06-30  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

 354
 355         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
 356         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
 357         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
 358         New.
 359
 360 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 361
 362         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
 363         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
 364
 365 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 366
 367         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
 368         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
 369
 370         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
 371         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
 372         evaluator trap options.)
 373
 374 2001-06-25  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 375
 376         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.
 377

 383
 384         * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
 385
 386 2001-06-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 387
 388         * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
 389         `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
 390
 391 2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 392
 393         * match.scm:
 394         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.

 397
 398         (slib:error): Delete.
 399         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.

 403         * README: New file.
 404
 405         * common-list.scm:

 410 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 411
 412         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
 413         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
 414         rdelim) module.  See below.
 415
 416 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 417
 418         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
 419         include-deprecated-features is true.
 420
 421 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 422
 423         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
 424         unknown objects.
 425
 426         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
 427         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
 428         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 429
 430         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
 431         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
 432         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
 433         Köppe!
 434
 435 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 436
 437         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
 438         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
 439         variable, not just a visible one.
 440         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
 441         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
 442         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
 443         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
 444         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
 445         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
 446         variables.
 447         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
 448
 449         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
 450         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
 451
 452 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 453
 454         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
 455         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
 456
 457 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 458
 459         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
 460
 461 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 462
 463         Added exception notice to all files.
 464
 465         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
 466         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
 467         importing bindings once in a while.
 468
 469 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 470
 471         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
 472         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
 473         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 474         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
 475         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 476         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 477         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 478         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
 479         message.
 480         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
 481         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
 482
 483 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 484
 485         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
 486         fix command so that it works.
 487
 488         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
 489         to access unbound variables.
 490
 491         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
 492         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
 493         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
 494         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
 495         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
 496
 497 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 498
 499         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
 500         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
 501         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
 502         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
 503         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
 504         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
 505         argument for process-define-module.
 506         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
 507         arguments for process-use-modules.
 508         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
 509
 510 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 513         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
 514         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
 515         module.
 516
 517         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
 518         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
 519         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
 520

 535
 536         * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
 537         (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when

 549
 550         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
 551         * match.scm: Likewise.
 552         * expect.scm: Likewise.
 553         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 554
 555         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
 556
 557         * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
 558
 559         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
 560         set-current-module.
 561         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
 562         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
 563         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
 564         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
 565         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
 566         element list when adding "." to it.
 567         (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
 568         dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
 569
 570 2001-05-18  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 571
 572         * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
 573         cleanup; nfc.
 574         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
 575         now accepts arg; update callers.
 576         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
 577         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
 578
 579         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
 580         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
 581         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
 582         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
 583         `search-documentation-files'.
 584         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
 585         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.

 587
 588         * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
 589         Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.

 614         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
 615
 616         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
 617         the magical undefined value.
 618         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
 619         the default default for bindings.
 620
 621         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
 622         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 623         (root-module-closure): Removed.
 624         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 625         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.

 627         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 628         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.  Set the
 629         eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
 630         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
 631         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 632         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
 633         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
 634         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
 635         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
 636         `set-current-module' call.
 637         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
 638         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.
 639

 641         insert `debug-options' into the-root-module.

 673         (%autoloader-developer-mode): Delete.
 674         (process-define-module): Use "define-module" in error messages
 675         instead of "defmodule".  Factor error into internal proc.
 676         Rewrite `use-module' and `use-syntax' handlers.
 677         Replace some single-arm `if-not' constructs w/ `or'.
 678         (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
 679         which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
 680         (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use
 681         `provided?'.

 923

 981         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
 982
 983         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
 984         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
 985
 986         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
 987         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.

 989 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 990
 991         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
 992         in C for now.
 993         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
 994         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
 995
 996 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 997
 998         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
 999         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
1000         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
1001         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.

1003         for now.

1008
1009         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1010         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1011         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1012         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1013         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1014         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1015         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.

1052 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1053
1054         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1055         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1056         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1057         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in

1065 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1066
1067         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1068         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1069         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1070         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1071         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1072         Pirotte for the bug report).
1073         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1074         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

1099         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1100         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1101
1102         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a

1104         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the

1138         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1139         args.
1140         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1141         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1142         even worked...  /mdj.
1143         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1144         `symbol->string'.
1145         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1146         semantics.
1147
1148 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1149
1150         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
1151         form set!.
1152
1153 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1154
1155         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
1156         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
1157
1158 2000-08-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1159
1160         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.
1161
1162 2000-08-16  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

1165
1166 2000-08-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1167
1168         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive.  (Thanks to
1169         Matthias Köppe.)
1170
1171 2000-08-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1172
1173         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1174         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1175         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1176         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1177         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1178
1179         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1180
1181 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1182
1183         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
1184         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1185
1186         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1187         syntactic bindings.
1188
1189         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1190         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1191         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
1192         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1193
1194         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
1195
1196         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
1197         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
1198
1199         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
1200
1201         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1202         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1203
1204 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1205
1206         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1207         definition of module-type.
1208
1209         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1210
1211         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1212
1213         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1214         lines.
1215         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1216         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1217
1218 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1219
1220         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
1221
1222 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1223
1224         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
1225         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
1226         Mikael for the suggestion.
1227
1228 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1229
1230         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1231         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1232
1233 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1234
1235         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1236         for export args.
1237
1238 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1239
1240         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
1241
1242 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1243
1244         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1245         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
1246         for the hint.
1247
1248         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
1249         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
1250         tail recursive yet.
1251
1252 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1253
1254         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1255         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1256
1257         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1258         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1259         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1260         See NEWS.
1261         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1262
1263         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1264
1265 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1266
1267         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1268         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1269
1270 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1271
1272         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1273         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1274
1275 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1276
1277         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
1278         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1279
1280 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1281
1282         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1283
1284         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1285
1286         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1287
1288 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1289
1290         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1291         '() instead of #f.
1292         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1293         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1294         `the-root-module'.
1295         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1296
1297         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1298         documentation.scm.
1299
1300         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1301         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1302         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1303         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1304         (help): Rewritten.
1305
1306         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1307
1308         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1309
1310 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1311
1312         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1313         (write-all): Removed.
1314         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
1315         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
1316
1317 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
1318
1319         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1320         `proc-documentation'
1321
1322         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
1323         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1324         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1325         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1326         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1327         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1328         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1329         getter...)
1330
1331 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1332
1333         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
1334
1335 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1336
1337         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1338         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
1339         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1340         closure.
1341
1342 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1343
1344         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
1345         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1346         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
1347         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
1348         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1349         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1350         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1351
1352 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1353
1354         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
1355         accept complex numbers as parameter.
1356
1357 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1358
1359         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1360         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
1361
1362 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1363
1364         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1365         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1366         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1367         instead of remove-if when iterating.
1368         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1369         delete-if! when iterating.
1370
1371 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1372
1373         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1374
1375 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1376
1377         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
1378
1379 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1380
1381         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1382         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
1383         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1384         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1385
1386 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1387
1388         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
1389         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1390
1391 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1392
1393         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
1394         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1395         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
1396         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
1397
1398 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1399
1400         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1401         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1402
1403 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1404
1405         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1406         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1407
1408 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1409
1410         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1411         Dirk Hermann!
1412
1413 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1414
1415         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1416         source of the numerous very short changes.
1417
1418 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1419
1420         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1421         public.
1422
1423         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1424         info pages.
1425
1426 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1427
1428         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1429         from slib docs.
1430
1431 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1432
1433         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1434         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1435
1436 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1437
1438         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1439         to string-append.
1440
1441 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1442
1443         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1444         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
1445         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1446
1447 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1448
1449         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1450         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1451         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
1452         Narazaki for this change.
1453
1454 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1455
1456         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1457         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1458         %S.
1459
1460         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1461         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1462
1463 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1464
1465         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1466         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1467
1468 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1469
1470         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1471         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1472         use define-public to export from the module.
1473
1474 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1475
1476         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1477         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1478         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1479
1480 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1481
1482         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1483
1484 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1485
1486         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1487         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1488
1489 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1490
1491         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1492
1493         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1494
1495         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1496
1497 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1498
1499         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1500         long_long uniform vectors.
1501

1508
1509         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
1510         script to create generated files like this one.
1511
1512 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1513
1514         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1515         available before using getpw and getuid.
1516         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1517         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1518         check for stat.
1519         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1520         check for .guile, instead of stat.
1521         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1522         available.
1523         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
1524         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1525         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1526
1527         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
1528         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1529
1530         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.

1535         than 'exit-debugger.
1536
1537         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1538         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1539
1540         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.

1560
1561         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1562         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1563
1564 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1565
1566         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

1581
1582         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of

1586
1587 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1588
1589         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1590         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1591         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1592         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1593
1594         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1595         argument.
1596

1598         both forward and backward views of the stack
1599         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1600         Use selector `frame-number';

1602         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1603         Use (ice-9 debug).

1606 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1607
1608         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1609         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1610         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1611
1612         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1613         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
1614         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
1615
1616 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1617
1618         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1619
1620         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1621
1622         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1623
1624         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1625
1626 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1627
1628         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1629         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
1630         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
1631         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1632         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1633         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1634         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1635         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1636         libguile-config-stamp.
1637         * version.scm.in: Delete.
1638         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1639         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1640         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1641         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1642
1643 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1644
1645         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1646         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1647         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1648
1649         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1650         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1651         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1652         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
1653         readline.
1654
1655         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1656
1657 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1658
1659         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1660
1661 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1662
1663         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1664         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1665
1666 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1667
1668         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1669         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1670         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1671         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1672         objects starting with '#/'.
1673
1674 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1675
1676         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1677         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1678         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1679         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1680         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1681         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1682         `observer-id'.
1683         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1684         module-modified): New procedures.
1685         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1686         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1687
1688 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1689
1690         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1691         defines.
1692
1693 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1694
1695         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1696         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1697         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1698
1699         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1700         position.
1701
1702 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1703
1704         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1705         at multiple calls to read.
1706         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1707         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1708         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1709         continued-lines prompt.
1710
1711         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1712         reading expressions.
1713
1714 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1715
1716         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1717         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1718
1719 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1720
1721         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1722         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
1723         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1724
1725         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1726
1727         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1728         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1729
1730         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1731         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
1732         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1733         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1734         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1735         instead of a port.
1736
1737 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1738
1739         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1740         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1741
1742         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1743
1744         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
1745         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
1746         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1747         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1748
1749         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1750
1751         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1752
1753         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
1754         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1755         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
1756         an alist.
1757
1758         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1759
1760         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1761         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1762         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1763         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1764         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1765         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1766         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1767         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1768         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1769         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1770         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
1771
1772         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1773
1774         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1775         peeked from the stream.
1776         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1777         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1778         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1779
1780         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1781
1782         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1783         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1784
1785         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1786
1787         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1788         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
1789         exiting repl with single control-D.
1790
1791         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1792
1793         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1794         error catching loop after quit received.
1795         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1796
1797         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1798         primitive exit if non-interactive.
1799         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1800
1801         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1802         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1803         boot-9.scm.
1804         * popen.scm: new file.
1805
1806 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1807
1808        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
1809        (reverse-iota):  removed.
1810
1811 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1812
1813         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1814         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1815
1816 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1817
1818         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1819         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1820         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1821         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1822         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1823
1824 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1825
1826         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1827
1828         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1829         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1830
1831         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1832         Guile's module system.
1833
1834         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1835         changes:
1836         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1837         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1838         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1839         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
1840         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1841         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1842         modern CL behavior.
1843         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1844         '() when the condition is false.
1845
1846 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1847
1848         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1850 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1851
1852         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.

1854 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1855
1856         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1857         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1858         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1859
1860 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1861
1862         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1863         argument order for hash-fold.
1864
1865 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1866
1867         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
1868         resolve-module.
1869         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1870         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1871
1872         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1873         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1874         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1875         has been added to the load path).
1876
1877         Use try-load-module.
1878
1879 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1880
1881         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
1882         module between system and user state.
1883
1884 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1885
1886         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1887
1888         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1889         definition.
1890
1891 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1892
1893         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1894         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1895         system can create a wrapper class for it.
1896
1897 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1898
1899         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1900         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
1901         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1902         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1903         stack frame encountered.
1904
1905         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1906         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1907         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1908         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1909         list).]
1910
1911         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1912         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1913         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1914         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
1915         please tell me!]
1916
1917         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1918         define-module switches:
1919
1920         (define-module (foo)
1921           :no-backtrace)
1922
1923         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1924         modules.
1925
1926         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1927         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1928         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
1929         module it is a system frame.
1930
1931         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1932         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1933         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1934         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
1935         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1936
1937         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1938         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
1939         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1940         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1941         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
1942         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1943
1944         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1945         status of a module.;
1946         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1947         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1948
1949         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1950         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1951         closure to the module.
1952
1953         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1954
1955 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1956
1957         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1958
1959 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>

1962
1963 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1964
1965         Fix from Russ McManus:
1966         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1967         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1968         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1969         either an optional or required value.
1970
1971 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1972
1973         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1974
1975         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1976         of the '() key, not `rest'.
1977
1978         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1979         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1980         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1981         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1982
1983 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1984
1985         * optargs.scm: New file.
1986         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1987         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1988
1989 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1990
1991         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1992         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1993         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1994
1995 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1996
1997         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1998         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1999         for isn't loaded.
2000
2001 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2002
2003         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2004
2005 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2006
2007         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2008         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2009         applied to the module itself.
2010
2011 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2012
2013         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2014
2015         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2016         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2017
2018 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2019
2020         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2021
2022 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2023
2024         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2025
2026 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2027
2028         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2029         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2030
2031 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2032
2033         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2034         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2035         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2036         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2037         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2038         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2039         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2040
2041 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2042
2043         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2044         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2045
2046 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2047
2048         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2049         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2050         static libraries.
2051
2052 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2053
2054         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2055
2056 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2057
2058         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2059
2060 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2061
2062         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2063         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2064         adapt to the new hooks.
2065
2066 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2067
2068         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2069         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2070         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2071         code.
2072         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2073         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2074
2075         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2076         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2077         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2078         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2079         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2080         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2081         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2082         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2083         first to register linked modules.
2084
2085         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2086         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2087         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2088
2089         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2090         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2091         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2092         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2093
2094         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2095         to use from C:
2096         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2097         libguile/feature.c.
2098
2099         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2100         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2101         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2102
2103 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2104
2105         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2106         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2107         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2108
2109 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2110
2111         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2112         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2113         result of the last form.
2114
2115 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2116
2117         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2118         syncase.scm.
2119
2120         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2121
2122         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2123         readline-set!: New options interface.
2124
2125         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2126
2127 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2128
2129         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2130         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2131
2132 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2133
2134         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2135         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2136
2137 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2138
2139         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2140         interactive session.
2141         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2142
2143         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2144         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2145
2146 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2147
2148         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2149
2150 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2151
2152         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2153         read line was empty.
2154
2155 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2156
2157         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2158         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2159
2160         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2161
2162         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2163         problem.  Duh.
2164         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2165         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2166         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2167
2168         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2169         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2170         into...
2171         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2172         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2173         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2174
2175         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2176         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2177         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2178         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2179         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2180         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2181         psyntax.ss.
2182         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2183
2184         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2185         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2186
2187 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2188
2189         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2190         and short vectors #h(...).
2191
2192 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2193
2194         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2195         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2196         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2197
2198 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2199
2200         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2201         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2202         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2203
2204 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2205
2206         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2207         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2208
2209         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2210         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2211         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2212         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2213
2214 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2215
2216         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2217         trace flag.
2218
2219         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2220         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2221         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2222         context with traps enabled.
2223
2224 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2225
2226         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2227         module.
2228         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2229
2230 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2231
2232         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2233         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2234         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2235         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2236         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2237
2238 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2239
2240         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2241         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2242
2243 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2244
2245         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2246
2247 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2248
2249         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2250
2251 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2252
2253         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2254
2255 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2256
2257         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2258         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2259
2260 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2261
2262         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2263         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2264         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2265         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
2266         Archibald.)
2267
2268         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2269         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2270         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2271
2272 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2273
2274         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2275         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2276         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2277         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
2278         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2279         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2280         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2281
2282 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2283
2284         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2285
2286 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2287
2288         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2289         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2290         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
2291         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2292         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2293         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2294
2295 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2296
2297         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2298         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2299         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
2300         Steven G. Johnson.)
2301
2302 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2303
2304         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2305
2306 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2307
2308         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2309
2310 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2311
2312         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2313         be completed.
2314
2315 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2316
2317         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2318
2319 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2320
2321         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2322         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2323
2324 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2325
2326         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2327         similar in use to `use-modules'.
2328         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2329         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2330         transformer.
2331         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2332         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2333
2334 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2335
2336         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2337
2338 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2339
2340         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2341         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2342         completion.
2343
2344         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2345         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2346
2347         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2348         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2349         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2350
2351         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2352
2353 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2354
2355         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2356
2357         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2358         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2359
2360 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2361
2362         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2363
2364 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2365
2366         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
2367         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2368
2369         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2370
2371         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
2372         obsolete.
2373
2374 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2375
2376         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2377         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2378
2379 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2380
2381         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2382
2383 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2384
2385         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
2386         Stachowiak.)
2387
2388 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2389
2390         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2391         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
2392         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2393         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2394         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2395         threads.
2396
2397 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2398
2399         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2400         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2401         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2402
2403 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2404
2405         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2406
2407         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2408         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2409
2410 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2411
2412         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2413         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2414         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2415         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2416         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
2417         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2418         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2419         to go here.
2420
2421 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2422
2423         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2424         is now a fluid.
2425
2426 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2427
2428         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2429         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2430         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
2431         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
2432         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2433         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2434
2435 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2436
2437         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2438         usefully so they will work from a script.
2439
2440 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2441
2442         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2443         neighborhood of the record code.
2444
2445 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2446
2447         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
2448         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2449         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2450         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2451
2452 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2453
2454         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2455         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2456         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2457
2458 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2459
2460         Add support for readline function.
2461         * readline.scm: New module.
2462         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2463         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2464         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2465         anything.
2466         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2467         repl-reader to use them.
2468         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2469
2470         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2471
2472 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2473
2474         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2475         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2476
2477 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2478
2479         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2480         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2481         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2482
2483 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2484
2485         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
2486         #f, abort terminates the process.
2487         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2488         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
2489
2490 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2491
2492         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2493         print-state, throw it away.
2494
2495 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2496
2497         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2498         `0'.
2499
2500 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2501
2502         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2503         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2504         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2505         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2506         user field).
2507         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2508         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2509
2510 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2511
2512         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2513
2514 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2515
2516         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2517         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2518         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2519         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2520         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2521         boot-9.scm.
2522         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2523         distribution and installation.
2524         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2525
2526 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2527
2528         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
2529
2530 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2531
2532         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2533         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
2534         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2535
2536         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2537         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2538         symbol.
2539
2540 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2541
2542         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
2543
2544         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
2545
2546 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2547
2548         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2549         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2550         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2551         field a separate argument.
2552
2553         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2554
2555 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2556
2557         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2558
2559         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
2560         vicinity;

2568
2569         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2570         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2571         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2572         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2573         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
2574         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2575         registered.
2576         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2577         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2578         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2579         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2580         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2581         link a .so-file.

2593
2594         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2595
2596         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2597         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2598         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
2599         expansion inside the slib module.
2600
2601         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

2609         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2610
2611         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2612         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2613         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2614         source.
2615         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2616         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2617         been loaded.
2618
2619 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

2626         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

2628         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
2629         mutator for module-associated transformer.
2630         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
2631         `scm:eval-transformer'.
2632         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
2633         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
2634         module.
2635         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
2636
2637 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2638
2639         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2640
2641         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2642         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2643         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2644         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2645         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2646
2647         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2648         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2649         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2650         syncase macros.
2651         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2652         the syncase interface.
2653
2654 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2655
2656         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2657         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2658         workings of the current module system).
2659
2660 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2661
2662         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2663         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
2664         off!

2671
2672 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2673
2674         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2675         according to the following priorities:
2676         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2677         2. bindings from the-scm-module
2678         3. tcl bindings
2679         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2680         disabling the scheme interpreter.
2681         (new-interpreter): New function.
2682
2683         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2684         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2685         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
2686

2696
2697         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New

2702
2703         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2704         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
2705         source!
2706
2707 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

2714         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
2715         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2716         in stack-ref).
2717
2718         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2719         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2720         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2721         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2722         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2723         result protocol;

2725         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.

2736
2737 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2738
2739         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2740         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2741         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2742
2743         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
2744
2745         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
2746         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
2747         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman

2757         cstime.
2758

2760
2761         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2762         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2763         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2764
2765         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2766         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2767         the top.
2768
2769         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2770         order to narrow it correctly.

2775         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
2776         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
2777
2778 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2779
2780         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
2781
2782 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2783
2784         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2785         builtin `with-fluids*'.
2786
2787 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2788
2789         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2790         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
2791         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2792
2793 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2805
2806 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2807
2808         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
2809         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
2810         a default of /.
2811
2812         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
2813

2816         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
2817         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list

2824
2825         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2826         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2827         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
2828         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2829         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2830         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2831
2832         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2833         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2834         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2835         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2836
2837 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2838
2839         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2840         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
2841         sending in bug reports.
2842         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2843         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2844         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2845         display a warning if the two are different.
2846         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2847         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2848         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2849
2850 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

2856         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2857         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2858
2859         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2860         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2861         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2862         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2863         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2864         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2865         that's okay.
2866
2867         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
2868         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2869         regexp interface.
2870
2871         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2872         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
2873
2874         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2875         function names.
2876
2877         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2878         fixes.
2879

2881
2882         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2883         ../configure.in.
2884
2885 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2886
2887         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2888         vtable and not the one of the struct.
2889
2890 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2891
2892         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2893         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2894         to support printing of structures.
2895         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2896         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
2897         commented out printing code.
2898         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2899         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2900
2901 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2902
2903         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2904
2905 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2906
2907         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2908         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2909         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2910         during call to scm-style-repl.
2911
2912 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2913
2914         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2915         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2916         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2917         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
2918         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
2919
2920 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2921
2922         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2923         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2924         (ice-9 regex).
2925
2926 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2927
2928         * regex.scm: New file.
2929         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2930         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2931
2932 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2933
2934         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2935         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2936         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2937         threads.scm: New address for FSF.
2938

2940
2941         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2942         in 1997.
2943
2944 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2945
2946         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2947         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
2948         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2949
2950 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2951
2952         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2953         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2954         here.
2955
2956 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2957
2958         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2959
2960 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2961
2962         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2963
2964 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2965
2966         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2967         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2968         fixes this too.
2969
2970 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2971
2972         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2973         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2974         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
2975
2976 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2977
2978         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2979         the Scheme code like code yet.
2980         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2981
2982 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2983
2984         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2985         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
2986         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2987
2988 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2989
2990         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2991         use-modules macro
2992         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2993         can't be found.
2994
2995 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2996
2997         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2998
2999 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3000
3001         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3002
3003         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3004         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3005         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3006
3007 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3008
3009         Get 'make dist' to work again.
3010         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3011         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
3012
3013         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3014         no plugins.
3015         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3016         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3017
3018 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3019
3020         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
3021         functions.
3022
3023 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3024
3025         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
3026
3027 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3028
3029         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3030         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
3031
3032 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3033
3034         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3035         instead of in libguile.
3036         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3037         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3038
3039 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3040
3041         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3042         procedures.
3043         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3044         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3045
3046 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3047
3048         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3049         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3050
3051 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3052
3053         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3054         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3055         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3056         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3057
3058 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3059
3060         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3061         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3062
3063 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3064
3065         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3066
3067 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3068
3069         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3070         keywords and symbols.
3071
3072 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3073
3074         * slib.scm: update read usage.
3075
3076         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3077         Don't define read-sharp.
3078
3079         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3080         (read-sharp): removed.
3081         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3082         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3083
3084 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3085
3086         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3087
3088         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
3089         primitive procedure.)
3090
3091         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3092         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3093
3094 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3095
3096         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3097
3098 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3099
3100         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3101
3102 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3103
3104         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3105         read gets EOF.
3106         * (exit): alias for quit.
3107
3108 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3109
3110         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3111         return the quit args.
3112         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3113         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3114         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3115
3116         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3117
3118 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3119
3120         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3121
3122         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3123         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3124
3125         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3126         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3127
3128         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3129         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3130         of handlers.
3131
3132 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3133
3134         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3135
3136         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3137         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3138         Change hooks to use these functions.
3139
3140         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3141         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3142         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3143         the source! :-)
3144         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3145         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3146         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3147         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3148         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3149         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3150         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3151         traced.
3152
3153         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3154         and exit-frame exceptions.
3155
3156         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3157         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3158         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3159         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3160         result; otherwise display "> ".
3161         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3162
3163         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3164         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3165         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3166         repository version runnable.
3167
3168 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3169
3170         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3171         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3172         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3173         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3174         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3175         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3176
3177 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3178
3179         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3180         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3181         and eval.
3182         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3183         "defined?".
3184         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3185         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3186
3187 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3188
3189         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3190
3191 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3192
3193         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3194         %read-sharp layer.
3195
3196 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3197
3198         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3199         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3200
3201 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3202
3203         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3204         backtrace.c.)
3205
3206 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3207
3208         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3209         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3210
3211 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3212
3213         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3214
3215         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3216         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3217         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3218         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3219         dynamic linking of modules.
3220         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3221         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3222
3223 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3224
3225         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3226
3227 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3228
3229         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3230         that's what it is.
3231
3232         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3233         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3234         was false.
3235
3236 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3237
3238         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3239         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3240         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3241
3242 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3243
3244         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3245         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
3246         yet.

3248 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3249
3250         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3251         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3252         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3253
3254 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3255
3256         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3257         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3258         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3259         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3260
3261         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3262         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3263         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3264         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3265         (such as the-scm-module).
3266
3267 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3268
3269         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3270         %search-load-path.
3271
3272 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
3273
3274         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3275         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3276         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3277
3278 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3279
3280         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3281         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3282         function, use it accordingly.
3283
3284 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3285
3286         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
3287         function of no arguments.
3288         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3289         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3290         set-current-module): Uses changed.
3291         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3292         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3293         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3294         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3295         *top-level-eval-closure*.
3296
3297 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3298
3299         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3300         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3301
3302 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3303
3304         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3305         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3306         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
3307         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
3308         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3309
3310         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3311         `*features*'.
3312
3313         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3314         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
3315         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3316         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3317
3318         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3319
3320         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3321
3322         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3323         If the user wants to see this, he can do
3324         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3325
3326         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3327         error.
3328
3329         Added `before-read-hook'.
3330
3331         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3332
3333         (provide): New function.
3334
3335         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3336         in backtraces.
3337
3338         (backtrace): New function.
3339
3340         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3341         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3342         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
3343         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3344         is found in operator position in a frame.
3345
3346         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3347         by default.
3348
3349         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3350         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3351         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3352
3353         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
3354
3355         (library-vicinity): Updated.
3356
3357         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3358
3359         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3360
3361 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3362
3363         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3364
3365         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3366         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
3367
3368         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3369         so they'll get distributed.
3370
3371         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
3372         should see as little clutter as possible.
3373         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3374         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3375         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3376
3377         * r4rs.scm: New file.
3378         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3379         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3380         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3381         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3382         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3383         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3384         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3385         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3386         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3387         that are not.
3388         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3389         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3390
3391         * test.scm: New file.
3392
3393         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3394         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
3395         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3396
3397         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3398         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3399
3400         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3401         work now.
3402         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
3403         call %load-announce.
3404
3405 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3406
3407         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3408         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3409         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3410         components.
3411         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3412
3413 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3414
3415         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3416         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3417         SCSH (which this isn't).
3418
3419 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3420
3421         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3422
3423 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3424
3425         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3426         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3427         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3428         these.
3429         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
3430         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
3431         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3432         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3433         save-stack.
3434
3435 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3436
3437         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3438
3439         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3440
3441         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3442         error-catching-loop.
3443         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3444         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3445         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3446
3447         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3448         error-catching-loop.
3449
3450 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3451
3452         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3453         (make-module): Rework for readability.
3454         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3455         should be '(), not #f.
3456
3457         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3458         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3459
3460 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3461
3462         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3463         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3464         error-signal.
3465
3466 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3467
3468         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3469         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3470         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3471         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3472
3473 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3474
3475         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3476
3477 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3478
3479         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3480
3481         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3482         throw-handler-default.
3483         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3484         reported.
3485         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3486         acro.
3487         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3488         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3489
3490 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3491
3492         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3493         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3494         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3495         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3496
3497 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3498
3499         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3500         Append "." to the default %load-path.
3501         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3502         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3503         ...))
3504         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3505         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3506         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3507         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3508         file-is-directory?
3509
3510 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3511
3512         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3513
3514         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3515         distribution.
3516
3517         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3518         `switch-repl'.
3519
3520         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3521
3522 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3523
3524         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3525         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3526
3527 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3528
3529         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3530
3531         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3532
3533 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3534
3535         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
3536         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3537         Don't set up 'error as a key.
3538         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3539         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3540
3541         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3542         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3543         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3544         they seem redundant.
3545         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3546         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
3547         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3548         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
3549         directly files starting with "/").
3550         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3551         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3552
3553         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3554
3555 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3556
3557         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3558         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3559         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
3560         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3561         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3562         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3563         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
3564         robust to just do it in the C code.
3565
3566 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3567
3568         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
3569         %try-load itself was the primitive.
3570         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3571         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3572         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3573
3574 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3575
3576         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3577         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3578         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3579
3580 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3581
3582         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3583         system-error, not every kind of error.
3584         (scm-error): new procedure.
3585

3629
3630         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3631         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
3632         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3633         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3634         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

3671         for these.
