ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 2004-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
   2
   3         * boot-9.scm (symbol->keyword, keyword->symbol): Removed, they are
   4         now implemented in C.
   5
   6 2004-09-26  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
   7
   8         * optargs.scm (let-optional-template, let-keywords-template): Change
   9         "(begin body)" to "(let () body)" for empty bindings, since the former
  10         allows "internal defines" in body leak out to the surrounding
  11         environment.
  12
  13 2004-09-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  14
  15         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Pass rest argument to
  16         display-backtrace for wrong-type-arg and out-of-range errors so
  17         that the bad value gets highlighted.
  18
  19 2004-09-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  20
  21         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): Correction, should recurse into
  22         itself, not stream-for-each-one.
  23
  24         * time.scm (time-proc): Make result inexact, since format ~f doesn't
  25         support fractions currently.
  26
  27 2004-09-08  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  28
  29         * boot-9.scm (expt): Only call integer-expt for an exact integer
  30         exponent, not for an inexact integer one.  Also, let integer-expt
  31         handle negative exponents instead of doing it here.
  32
  33 2004-09-02  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  34
  35         * format.scm (format:out): Ignore excess arguments, per common lisp.
  36
  37         * format.scm (format:out-num-padded): Print "+" on 0 under @ modifier.
  38
  39 2004-08-27  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  40
  41         * regex.scm (regexp-quote): [ and | must be quoted.  Quote ( ) { + ?
  42         using char class [(] etc since \( in fact makes them become special in
  43         regexp/basic.
  44
  45 2004-08-25  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  46
  47         * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Give #t for an empty body, per srfi-2
  48         spec, previously came out as an empty (begin).
  49
  50 2004-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  51
  52         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Added srfi-13 and srfi-14.
  53
  54 2004-08-20  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  55
  56         * debugger/utils.scm (display-source): Use unmemoize-expr instead
  57         of unmemoize.
  58         (write-frame-short/expression): Likewise.
  59
  60 2004-08-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  61
  62         * and-let-star.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-2, since this module
  63         provides that feature.
  64         * receive.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-8, since this module
  65         provides that feature.
  66
  67 2004-08-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  68
  69         From Matthias Koeppe.  Thanks!
  70
  71         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): In the local procedure `wr', use
  72         object->string to print all data (except for the reader macros),
  73         rather than implementing an own printer.  The user-visible
  74         difference is that procedures and control characters like #\tab
  75         are now printed in the same way as by `write'.
  76
  77 2004-08-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  78
  79         * slib.scm (*features*): Remove array and array-for-each, core
  80         definitions are insufficient for latest slib.
  81         (t, nil): New constants slib says are supposed to exist.
  82         (call-with-open-ports, browse-url): New functions for latest slib.
  83         Implementations taken from Template.scm (public domain).
  84         (open-file): Extend core definition to accept symbols for the mode,
  85         required by latest slib.
  86         (delete-file): Replace core definition with version returning #t/#f as
  87         per slib spec.
  88         (system): Mark as #:replace to suppress override warning, use new
  89         style "(@ (guile) system)" to call core function.
  90
  91 2004-05-25  Matthias Koeppe  <mkoeppe@mail.math.uni-magdeburg.de>
  92
  93         * format.scm: Remove the arbitrary limit of 100 iterations for the
  94         ~{...~} control structure.
  95
  96 2004-07-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  97
  98         * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Remove unused variable "val".
  99         * pretty-print.scm (read-macro-prefix): Remove unused variable "tail".
 100
 101         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Add srfi-6 which is in the core.
 102
 103         * safe-r5rs.scm (re-export): Uncomment numerator, denominator,
 104         rationalize, since they now exist.
 105
 106 2004-07-05  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 107
 108         * slib.scm (system): Correction to redefinition, now guile is stricter
 109         about when a define binding comes into existance.
 110
 111 2004-05-29  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
 112
 113         * boot-9.scm: Reordered definitions such that macro definitions
 114         preceed their first usage.  Include and define deprecated stuff
 115         late in the file to have a better change of detecting accidental
 116         uses of deprecated definitions. Further, unified the layout a
 117         little and grouped definitions more cleanly into topics.
 118
 119 2004-05-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 120
 121         * history.scm (use-value-history): Use resolve-interface instead
 122         of resolve-module so that only the exported bindings are searched.
 123         (save-value-history): Export the newly defined variable.  Reported
 124         by Wolfgang Jaehrling.
 125
 126 2004-05-04  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
 127
 128         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): Always start searching from the
 129         root module.  This will allow the C equivalent scm_resolve_module
 130         to work, independent of what the current module is.
 131
 132 2004-02-18  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 133
 134         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Make the (guile-user) module use the
 135         (ice-9 r5rs) module.
 136
 137 2004-02-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 138
 139         * boot-9.scm (module-map): Renamed hash-map -> hash-map->list.
 140
 141 2004-02-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 142
 143         * debugger/trap-hooks.scm (debug-hook-membership): New, exported.
 144
 145         * debugger/commands.scm (debug-trap-hooks): New, exported.
 146
 147 2004-02-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 148
 149         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES),
 150         debugger/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES), Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES): Use
 151         this variable instead of ETAGS_ARGS so that TAGS can be built
 152         using separate build directory.
 153
 154 2004-01-20  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 155
 156         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Back out 2003-11-19 change to
 157         lazy-handler-dispatch lookup.
 158
 159 2004-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 160
 161         * mapping.scm: Use '#:' prefix for keywords instead of ':'.
 162         Thanks to Richard Todd!
 163
 164 2004-01-11  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 165
 166         * slib.scm (system): New function, giving an exit code return in
 167         accordance with slib spec.
 168
 169         Revert this, it breaks test-suite/tests/r5rs_pitfalls.test where
 170         false-if-exception is used within syntax-rules.  (Suspect syntax-rules
 171         ought to support this sort of thing, but it doesn't right now.)
 172         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
 173         to depend on expansion environment.
 174
 175 2004-01-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 176
 177         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): Use with-fluid* when only one fluid is
 178         being set.

 180 2004-01-07  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 181
 182         * q.scm (q-pop!): Should be "null?" not "not" for end-of-list.
 183         Reported by Richard Todd.
 184
 185 2004-01-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 186
 187         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
 188         to depend on expansion environment.
 189
 190         * slib.scm (-1+, <?, <=?, =?, >?, >=?): Define as aliases for 1-, <,
 191         <=, =, >, >= respectively, required by slib 'rev2-procedures but no
 192         longer in the guile core.
 193
 194 2003-11-19  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 195
 196         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Defer lookup of
 197         lazy-handler-dispatch.
 198
 199 2003-11-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 200
 201         * boot-9.scm (@, @@): New macros.

 203 2003-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 204
 205         * boot-9.scm: Started comment about module system workings.
 206
 207 2003-11-11  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 208
 209         * debugger.scm: Change ui-* calls to gds-*.
 210         (debug-on-error): Debug if throw key is in specified syms, not if
 211         it isn't!  Also throw 'abort after debugging, so as to skip the
 212         REPL's backtrace.
 213
 214         * debugger/behaviour.scm (*trap*): New variable, stores trap type.
 215         (before-enter-frame-hook, before-apply-frame-hook,
 216         before-exit-frame-hook): Set here.
 217         (debug-if-flag-set): Passed into flags on debug-stack call.
 218         (at-step, at-next): Changed to debug at frame exit points as well.
 219
 220         * debugger/utils.scm: Big comment added.
 221
 222 2003-10-30  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 223
 224         * debugger/ui-client.scm: Moved to ../emacs/gds-client.scm.
 225

 227
 228         * debugger/ui-client.scm (ui-connect): Add arg to say whether to
 229         debug immediately on connection.
 230         (ui-eval): Handle exceptions during read and evaluation.

 234         handler.
 235
 236 2003-10-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 237
 238         * ftw.scm (directory-files): Close dir-stream when done.  Thanks

 242
 243         * poe.scm (funcq-assoc): Rewrite, don't assume '() is false, and
 244         actually traverse the given alist.
 245

 247
 248         * debugger/ui-client.scm (handle-instruction): Add evaluation
 249         support.

 253
 254         * debugger/ui-client.scm (ui-disable-async-thread,
 255         ui-continue-async-thread, start-async-ui-thread): New.
 256         (ui-command-loop): Call ui-disable-async-thread and
 257         ui-continue-async-thread.
 258         (handle-instruction): Read terminating newline char so it doesn't
 259         cause following select to pop immediately.
 260
 261 2003-09-25  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 262
 263         * debugger/ui-client.scm, debugger/ui-server.scm: New (work in
 264         progress on new debugging front end).
 265
 266 2003-09-24  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 267
 268         * debugger.scm (default-default-lazy-handler, debug-on-error):
 269         New.
 270
 271         * debugger/behaviour.scm (debug-if-flag-set): Display debug entry
 272         messages through (debugger-output-port).
 273         (after-exit-frame-hook): Trace through (debugger-output-port).
 274         (trace-here): Trace through (debugger-output-port).
 275
 276         * debugger/commands.scm (evaluate): If supplied expression is a
 277         string, read from it before evaluating.
 278         (evaluate): Change output format to "EXPR => VALUE".
 279
 280 2003-09-19  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 281
 282         * popen.scm (open-process): Correction to previous fdes closing
 283         change, need to watch out for stdin==stderr or stdout==stderr.
 284
 285 2003-09-15  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 286
 287         * format.scm (format): Rewritten as a big letrec to make it
 288         reentrant.  No mutex is necessary.  Thanks to Clinton Ebadi!
 289
 290 2003-09-13  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 291
 292         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?): Use stat rather than access?, so as to
 293         follow the effective UID/GID not the real ID.  file-exists? is
 294         normally used as a prelude to opening or some other operation, and
 295         it's the effective ID which will apply there.  Emacs file-exists-p
 296         uses stat, presumably for the the same reason.
 297
 298 2003-09-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 299
 300         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Use a proper hashtable as
 301         the obarray, not an empty vector.
 302         (make-module): Always construct a hashtable for the obarray, even
 303         for empty ones.
 304
 305         * format.scm (format:error): Use 'format:format' instead of
 306         'format' since the latter will lock the mutex again that we have
 307         already locked.
 308         (format:format-work): Flag multiple '#' as an error.
 309
 310 2003-08-17  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 311
 312         * boot-9.scm (while): Use a new key dynamically for each loop, so
 313         break and continue associate to their loop even when recursing.
 314
 315 2003-08-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 316
 317         * boot-9.scm (while): Rewrite, continue as proper escape, break
 318         without return value, break and continue new for each while form,
 319         don't depend on bindings in expansion environment.
 320
 321         * popen.scm (open-process): Close input-fdes, output-fdes and
 322         error-fdes after duping them to 0, 1 and 2.
 323
 324 2003-06-19  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 325
 326         * threads.scm (parallel): For no forms, use `(values)' not `(begin)'.
 327
 328 2003-05-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 329
 330         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Added missing quote around
 331         vector constant.
 332
 333 2003-05-20  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 334
 335         * deprecated.scm (list*): Added.
 336
 337 2003-05-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 338
 339         * documentation.scm (file-commentary, find-documentation-in-file): Use
 340         call-with-input-file, to close ports when done.
 341
 342 2003-05-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 343
 344         * gap-buffer.scm (point++n!, point+-n!): Use substring-move!
 345         instead of substring-move-left! or substring-move-right!.  Thanks
 346         to Kevin Ryde.
 347
 348         * deprecated.scm (substring-move-left!, substring-move-right!):
 349         New.
 350
 351         * boot-9.scm (display-usage-report): Use keyword->symbol instead
 352         of keyword-symbol, which doesn't exist.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde.
 353
 354         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-get-handle): Pass only the expected four
 355         arguments to hashx-get-handle.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde!
 356
 357         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port) Pass 0 as second
 358         argument to string-ref.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde!
 359

 361
 362         * serialize.scm: New file.

 367
 368 2003-04-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 369
 370         * Changed license terms to the plain LGPL thru-out.
 371
 372 2003-03-26  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 373
 374         * deprecated.scm: New file, to collect deprecated things.
 375         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added.
 376
 377         * boot-9.scm: Load "ice-9/deprecated.scm" when appropriate.
 378         (try-load-module): Also try the old deprecated method, maybe.
 379
 380 2003-03-22  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 381

 389
 390         * format.scm (format:out-substr): Update the column counter
 391         correctly. This fixes the behavior of ~T (tabbing) after ~F, for
 392         instance.  Thanks to Matthias Koeppe!
 393
 394 2003-03-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

 401         and merge-accessors handlers are available also before (oop goops)
 402         has been loaded.  This is so that people can put them as default
 403         handlers without worrying about availability.
 404
 405         * slib.scm (logical:ipow-by-squaring): Removed.

 426
 427         * boot-9.scm (defmacro-public): Use export-syntax instead of export.
 428
 429         * slib.scm (*features*): Set the core variable instead of defining
 430         a local version.

 432
 433         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't install the duplicates
 434         handler here.
 435         (default-duplicate-binding-handler): Renamed from
 436         default-module-duplicates-handler; Removed converter.

 438         (default-duplicate-binding-procedures): New parameter.
 439
 440 2003-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
 441
 442         * slib.scm (identity): Removed.  (Provided by core.)
 443
 444 2003-03-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 445
 446         * debugger/command-loop.scm: Prefix all commands imported from

 450         (module-symbol-interface): Removed.

 452         appropriately.
 453         (module-use!, module-use-interfaces!): Remove existing interfaces
 454         on the use-list based on module name rather than interface
 455         identity so that custom interfaces truly replaces their previous
 456         version.

 485
 486         * boot-9.scm (make-module): Changed default size from 1021 to 31
 487         (since the size now adapts).
 488         (macro-table, xformer-table): Changed default size from 523 to 61.

 492
 493         * weak-vector.scm: New file.

 497         (module-map): Use hash-map.
 498
 499 2003-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 500

 502
 503 2003-01-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 504
 505         * syncase.scm (guile-macro): Strip syntactic information from
 506         expression before trying to treat it as a Guile macro call.
 507         (Thanks to Kevin Ryde.)
 508
 509 2003-01-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 510

 516         futures.
 517
 518 2003-01-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 519
 520         * occam-channel.scm (alt): New syntax.
 521
 522         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Removed.  Guile now provides this
 523         operator as a primitive procedure.
 524         (build-data): Quote vectors (psyntax.ss requires this).
 525
 526 2003-01-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 527
 528         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Allow procedures implanted in
 529         source.  (Guile uses this internally.)
 530
 531 2003-01-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 532
 533         * psyntax.ss (build-data): Don't quote self-evaluating expressions
 534         in output.  (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be
 535         quoted, but until Guile's native macros and syncase cooperates
 536         better, it is less destructive not to quote.)
 537         (self-evaluating?): Removed null? (In Guile, the empty list is not
 538         self-evaluating).
 539         (sc-chi): Export chi as sc-chi.
 540         (external-macro): New syntax type.
 541
 542         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 543
 544         * compile-psyntax.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure.
 545
 546         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Return *unspecified*.
 547
 548         * syncase.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure to
 549         the-syncase-eval-closure during booting so that variables are
 550         created in the correct module.
 551         (syncase): Set expansion-eval-closure.
 552         (define-syntax define-syntax-public eval-when fluid-let-syntax
 553         identifier-syntax let-syntax letrec-syntax syntax syntax-case
 554         syntax-rules with-syntax include): Removed definitions (these are
 555         created from within psyntax.pp).
 556         Enable expansion of Guile macros during a syntax-case
 557         transformation.
 558
 559 2003-01-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 560

 562         (make-timer): New function.
 563
 564         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added occam-channel.scm.
 565
 566         * occam-channel.scm: New file.  Implements occam-like channels.
 567
 568 2002-12-28  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 569
 570         * boot-9.scm (module-defined-hook): New hook, run whenever a new
 571         module is defined.
 572         (process-define-module): Run this hook.
 573
 574 2002-12-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
 575
 576         * threads.scm: Removed bogus definition of future-ref.
 577
 578 2002-12-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 579
 580         * threads.scm (par-map, par-for-each): Reimplemented using
 581         joing-thread.
 582         (parallel): Reimplemented using futures.
 583         (n-par-map, n-for-each): New procedures.
 584
 585 2002-12-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 586
 587         * optargs.scm (improper-list-copy): New.
 588         (parse-arglist): Use it instead of list-copy.
 589
 590 2002-12-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 591
 592         * threads.scm (letpar): New macro.
 593
 594 2002-12-08  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 595
 596         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION ->
 597         GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
 598
 599         * debugger/Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION ->
 600         GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.

 603
 604 2002-12-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 605
 606         * threads.scm (parallel): New macro.
 607          (par-map, par-for-each): New procedures.
 608
 609         * documentation.scm (object-documentation): Added support for
 610         defmacros.
 611

 613
 614         * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax):  Re-introduced after accidentally
 615         removing it in my patch from 2002-11-16.
 616
 617 2002-11-24  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 618
 619         Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
 620         following changes:
 621
 622         * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
 623
 624         (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
 625         %system-define.
 626
 627         * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
 628         until Guile supports hygienic macros.
 629
 630 2002-11-17  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 631
 632         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
 633         has been removed from the core.
 634
 635 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 636
 637         * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
 638         identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
 639         syntax-rules, with-syntax, include):  Changed definitions to form
 640         'real' macro definitions.
 641
 642 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 643
 644         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 645         Fixed my previous fix (blush).
 646
 647 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 648
 649         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 650         Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
 651
 652 2002-11-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 653
 654         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition
 655         needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.
 656
 657 2002-11-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 658
 659         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"
 660         change below.

 663         recording when module is loaded.
 664         (##): Cope with ports whose `filename' is not a string.
 665

 669         code.
 670
 671         * debugger/command-loop.scm (read-and-dispatch-command): Import
 672         set-readline-prompt dynamically if we need to.  (Previous
 673         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
 674         readline).)
 675
 676 2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 677
 678         * format.scm (format): Wrap a monitor around format:format since
 679         it is not thread-safe.
 680
 681 2002-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 682
 683         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'.  This

 686 2002-10-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 687
 688         Merging debugger enhancements previously in separate

 692         - see comment in file for more details.

 697
 698         * debugger/commands.scm, debugger/command-loop.scm,
 699         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits
 700         of old (ice-9 debugger), plus some rewriting and enhancements for

 711         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
 712         execution from a breakpoint.
 713
 714         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,
 715         debugger/breakpoints/procedural.scm,
 716         debugger/breakpoints/range.scm, debugger/breakpoints/source.scm,
 717         debugger/trap-hooks.scm, debugger/trc.scm: New files - breakpoint

 725
 726         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Do not call unmask-signals, that
 727         should be unnecessary now.
 728
 729 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 730
 731         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
 732         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
 733         the-root-module.
 734
 735 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 736
 737         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
 738         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and
 739         call-with-unblocked-asyncs instead of mask-signals and
 740         unmask-signals.
 741
 742 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 743
 744         * buffered-input.scm (make-buffered-input-port): Build an
 745         input-waiting thunk for just extended version of make-soft-port.
 746
 747 2002-10-04  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 748
 749         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
 750         >= 0.
 751
 752 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 753
 754         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to

 767         * syncase.scm: Set the module transformer of the-syncase-module so
 768         that we can use define-syntax.
 769         (define-syntax-public): New and exported.
 770

 788
 789         * boot-9.scm (file-set-position): Make third argument optional,
 790         for SCM compatibility.

 792
 793 2002-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 794
 795         * boot-9.scm (file-set-position): Use seek instead of fseek.

 806
 807         * format.scm (format:fn-max): Increase to 400 so ~f and ~g can
 808         print long real numbers with large positive and negative
 809         exponents.
 810
 811 2002-05-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 817         * gap-buffer.scm: New file.

 840
 841         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
 842         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
 843         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
 844
 845         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.
 846

 858
 859         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
 860         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
 861         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
 862         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
 863
 864 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 865
 866         More options for pretty-print.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!

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

 871
 872 2001-11-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 873
 874         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have

 883         positions.

 886
 887         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 888         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 889         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 890
 891         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,

 898           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 899           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 900           exporting bindings.
 901
 902 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 903
 904         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,

 906
 907 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 908
 909         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 910         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 911         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 912         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 913
 914 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 915
 916         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,

 932
 933         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 934         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
 935
 936 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 937
 938         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 939         the `arglist' procedure property.
 940         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 941         present a more detailed argument list.
 942
 943         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 944
 945 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 946
 947         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission

 952
 953         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
 954
 955         (feature?): Deprecated.

 970         functionality.
 971
 972         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
 973         needed to trick export.
 974
 975 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 976
 977         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.
 978
 979 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 980
 981         * and-let-star-compat.scm:  Deleted.

 984
 985 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 986
 987         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
 988         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
 989         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
 990
 991 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 992
 993         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
 994         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
 995
 996 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 997
 998         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

1013         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
1014
1015         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'

1018
1019 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
1020
1021         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
1022         handle :use-syntax correctly.
1023
1024 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1025
1026         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in

1030
1031         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in

1034         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
1035         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
1036
1037 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

1043 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1044
1045         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
1046         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
1047
1048 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1049
1050         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
1051         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
1052         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
1053         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
1054
1055         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
1056         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
1057         since there aren't definitions for them.
1058
1059         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
1060         argument is "renamer" not "rename".

1063
1064         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
1065         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
1066
1067 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1068
1069         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
1070         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
1071
1072 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1073
1074         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
1075         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
1076         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.

1089         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
1090         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
1091         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
1092         New.
1093
1094 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1095
1096         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
1097         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
1098
1099 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1100
1101         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.

1126
1127         * match.scm:

1144 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1145
1146         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
1147         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
1148         rdelim) module.  See below.
1149
1150 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1151
1152         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if

1170
1171         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
1172         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
1173         variable, not just a visible one.
1174         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
1175         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
1176         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
1177         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
1178         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
1179         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
1180         variables.
1181         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
1182
1183         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
1184         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
1185
1186 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1187
1188         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
1189         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
1190
1191 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1192
1193         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
1194
1195 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1196
1197         Added exception notice to all files.
1198
1199         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
1200         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
1201         importing bindings once in a while.
1202
1203 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1204
1205         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
1206         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
1207         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1208         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
1209         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
1210         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
1211         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
1212         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
1213         message.
1214         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
1215         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
1216
1217 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1218
1219         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
1220         fix command so that it works.
1221
1222         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
1223         to access unbound variables.
1224
1225         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
1226         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
1227         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
1228         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
1229         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
1230
1231 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1232
1233         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
1234         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
1235         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
1236         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
1237         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
1238         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
1239         argument for process-define-module.
1240         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
1241         arguments for process-use-modules.
1242         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
1243
1244 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1245
1246         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
1247         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
1248         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
1249         module.
1250
1251         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
1252         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
1253         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
1254
1255         * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.
1256
1257 2001-05-23  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1258
1259         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
1260         to feature lists.
1261         (cond-expand): Use feature information associated with modules.
1262
1263 2001-05-21  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1264
1265         * boot-9.scm (use-srfis): Do not extend the srfi-0 feature list.
1266         (cond-expand-provide): New procedure.
1267
1268 2001-05-22  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1269
1270         * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
1271         (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when
1272         getting the syntax transformer.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1273
1274 2001-05-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1275
1276         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
1277         deprecated features have been removed.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
1278
1279         * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
1280         `display'.
1281
1282 2001-05-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1283
1284         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
1285         * match.scm: Likewise.
1286         * expect.scm: Likewise.
1287         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
1288
1289         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
1290

1292
1293         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
1294         set-current-module.
1295         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
1296         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
1297         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
1298         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
1299         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
1300         element list when adding "." to it.
1301         (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
1302         dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.

1305
1306         * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
1307         cleanup; nfc.
1308         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
1309         now accepts arg; update callers.
1310         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
1311         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
1312
1313         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
1314         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
1315         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
1316         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
1317         `search-documentation-files'.
1318         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
1319         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.

1330
1331         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,

1334
1335 2001-05-15  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>

1338         used module's public interface is not available.
1339         No longer call `beautify-user-module!'.

1341
1342 2001-05-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1343

1345
1346         * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
1347         the module obarray.
1348         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
1349
1350         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
1351         the magical undefined value.
1352         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
1353         the default default for bindings.
1354
1355         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
1356         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
1357         (root-module-closure): Removed.
1358         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
1359         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.

1363         eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
1364         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
1365         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
1366         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
1367         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
1368         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
1369         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
1370         `set-current-module' call.
1371         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
1372         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.
1373

1375         insert `debug-options' into the-root-module.

1402         `module-public-interface'.
1403         (resolve-interface): Extend to handle selection and renaming in spec.
1404         Arg is now `spec' which can be a simple module name (list of symbols)
1405         or a interface spec.
1406         (symbol-prefix-proc): New proc.
1407         (%autoloader-developer-mode): Delete.
1408         (process-define-module): Use "define-module" in error messages
1409         instead of "defmodule".  Factor error into internal proc.
1410         Rewrite `use-module' and `use-syntax' handlers.
1411         Replace some single-arm `if-not' constructs w/ `or'.
1412         (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
1413         which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
1414         (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use
1415         `provided?'.

1715         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
1716
1717         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
1718         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
1719
1720         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
1721         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.

1723 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1724
1725         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
1726         in C for now.
1727         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
1728         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
1729
1730 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1731
1732         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
1733         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
1734         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
1735         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.

1737         for now.

1740
1741 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1742
1743         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1744         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1745         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1746         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1747         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1748         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1749         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.

1757
1758         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings

1761 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1762

1784         make-shared-substring.
1785
1786 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1787
1788         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1789         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1790         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1791         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1792         scm-style-repl.

1799 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1800
1801         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1802         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1803         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1804         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1805         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1806         Pirotte for the bug report).
1807         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1808         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

1831
1832         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1833         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1834         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1835
1836         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a

1838         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1839         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1840         actual documentation entries themselves.

1871         `symbol-append'.
1872         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1873         args.
1874         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1875         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1876         even worked...  /mdj.
1877         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1878         `symbol->string'.

1887 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1888
1889         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
1890         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
1891
1892 2000-08-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1893
1894         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.

1907         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1908         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1909         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1910         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1911         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1912
1913         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1914
1915 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1916
1917         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
1918         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1919
1920         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1921         syntactic bindings.
1922
1923         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1924         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1925         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
1926         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1927
1928         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.

1931         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
1932

1934
1935         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1936         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1937
1938 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1939
1940         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1941         definition of module-type.
1942
1943         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1944
1945         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1946
1947         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1948         lines.
1949         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1950         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1951
1952 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1953
1954         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
1955
1956 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1957
1958         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
1959         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
1960         Mikael for the suggestion.
1961
1962 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1963
1964         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1965         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1966
1967 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1968
1969         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1970         for export args.
1971
1972 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1973
1974         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
1975
1976 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1977
1978         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1979         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
1980         for the hint.
1981
1982         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
1983         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
1984         tail recursive yet.
1985
1986 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1987
1988         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1989         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1990
1991         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1992         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1993         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1994         See NEWS.
1995         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1996
1997         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1998
1999 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2000
2001         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
2002         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
2003
2004 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2005
2006         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
2007         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
2008
2009 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2010
2011         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
2012         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
2013
2014 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2015
2016         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
2017
2018         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2019
2020         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
2021
2022 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2023
2024         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
2025         '() instead of #f.
2026         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
2027         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
2028         `the-root-module'.
2029         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
2030
2031         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
2032         documentation.scm.
2033
2034         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
2035         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
2036         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
2037         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
2038         (help): Rewritten.
2039
2040         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
2041
2042         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
2043
2044 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2045
2046         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
2047         (write-all): Removed.
2048         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
2049         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
2050
2051 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
2052
2053         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
2054         `proc-documentation'
2055
2056         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
2057         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
2058         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
2059         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
2060         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
2061         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
2062         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
2063         getter...)
2064
2065 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2066
2067         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
2068
2069 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2070
2071         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
2072         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
2073         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
2074         closure.
2075
2076 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2077
2078         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
2079         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
2080         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
2081         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
2082         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
2083         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
2084         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
2085
2086 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2087
2088         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
2089         accept complex numbers as parameter.
2090
2091 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2092
2093         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
2094         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
2095
2096 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2097
2098         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
2099         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
2100         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
2101         instead of remove-if when iterating.
2102         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
2103         delete-if! when iterating.
2104
2105 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2106
2107         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
2108
2109 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2110
2111         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
2112
2113 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2114
2115         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
2116         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
2117         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
2118         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
2119
2120 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2121
2122         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
2123         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
2124
2125 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2126
2127         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
2128         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
2129         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
2130         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
2131
2132 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
2133
2134         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
2135         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
2136
2137 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2138
2139         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
2140         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
2141
2142 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2143
2144         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
2145         Dirk Hermann!
2146
2147 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2148
2149         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
2150         source of the numerous very short changes.
2151
2152 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2153
2154         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
2155         public.
2156
2157         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
2158         info pages.
2159
2160 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2161
2162         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
2163         from slib docs.
2164
2165 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2166
2167         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
2168         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
2169
2170 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2171
2172         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
2173         to string-append.
2174
2175 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2176
2177         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
2178         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
2179         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
2180
2181 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2182
2183         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
2184         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
2185         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
2186         Narazaki for this change.
2187
2188 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2189
2190         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
2191         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
2192         %S.
2193
2194         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
2195         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
2196
2197 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2198
2199         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
2200         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
2201
2202 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2203
2204         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
2205         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
2206         use define-public to export from the module.
2207
2208 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2209
2210         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
2211         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
2212         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
2213
2214 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2215
2216         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
2217
2218 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2219
2220         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
2221         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
2222
2223 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2224
2225         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
2226
2227         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
2228
2229         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
2230
2231 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2232
2233         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
2234         long_long uniform vectors.
2235
2236 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2237
2238         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
2239         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
2240
2241 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2242
2243         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
2244         script to create generated files like this one.
2245
2246 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2247
2248         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
2249         available before using getpw and getuid.
2250         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
2251         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
2252         check for stat.
2253         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
2254         check for .guile, instead of stat.
2255         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
2256         available.
2257         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
2258         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
2259         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
2260
2261         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
2262         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
2263
2264         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.

2269         than 'exit-debugger.
2270
2271         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
2272         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
2273
2274         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
2275
2276 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2277
2278         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";

2287 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2288
2289         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
2290         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
2291         Badros.)
2292
2293 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2294
2295         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
2296         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
2297
2298 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2299
2300         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

2315
2316         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
2317         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
2318
2319         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
2320
2321 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2322
2323         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
2324         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
2325         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
2326         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
2327
2328         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
2329         argument.
2330
2331         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
2332         both forward and backward views of the stack
2333         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
2334         Use selector `frame-number';
2335         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
2336         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
2337         Use (ice-9 debug).
2338         Use readline conditionally.
2339
2340 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2341
2342         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
2343         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
2344         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
2345
2346         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
2347         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
2348         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
2349
2350 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2351
2352         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
2353
2354         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
2355
2356         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
2357
2358         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2359
2360 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2361
2362         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
2363         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
2364         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
2365         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
2366         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
2367         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
2368         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
2369         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
2370         libguile-config-stamp.
2371         * version.scm.in: Delete.
2372         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
2373         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
2374         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
2375         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
2376
2377 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2378
2379         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
2380         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
2381         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
2382
2383         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
2384         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
2385         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
2386         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
2387         readline.
2388
2389         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
2390
2391 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
2392
2393         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
2394
2395 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2396
2397         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
2398         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
2399
2400 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
2401
2402         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
2403         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
2404         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
2405         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
2406         objects starting with '#/'.
2407
2408 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2409
2410         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
2411         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
2412         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
2413         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
2414         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
2415         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
2416         `observer-id'.
2417         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
2418         module-modified): New procedures.
2419         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
2420         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
2421
2422 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2423
2424         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
2425         defines.
2426
2427 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2428
2429         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
2430         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
2431         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2432
2433         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
2434         position.
2435
2436 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2437
2438         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
2439         at multiple calls to read.
2440         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
2441         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
2442         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
2443         continued-lines prompt.
2444
2445         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
2446         reading expressions.
2447
2448 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2449
2450         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
2451         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2452
2453 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2454
2455         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
2456         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
2457         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2458
2459         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2460
2461         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
2462         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
2463
2464         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
2465         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
2466         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
2467         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
2468         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
2469         instead of a port.
2470
2471 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2472
2473         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
2474         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2475
2476         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
2477
2478         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
2479         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
2480         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
2481         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
2482
2483         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
2484
2485         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2486
2487         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
2488         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
2489         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
2490         an alist.
2491
2492         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2493
2494         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
2495         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
2496         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
2497         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
2498         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
2499         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2500         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
2501         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
2502         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
2503         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2504         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
2505
2506         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2507
2508         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
2509         peeked from the stream.
2510         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
2511         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
2512         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
2513
2514         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2515
2516         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
2517         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
2518
2519         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2520
2521         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2522         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
2523         exiting repl with single control-D.
2524
2525         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2526
2527         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2528         error catching loop after quit received.
2529         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2530
2531         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2532         primitive exit if non-interactive.
2533         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2534
2535         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2536         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2537         boot-9.scm.
2538         * popen.scm: new file.
2539
2540 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2541
2542        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
2543        (reverse-iota):  removed.
2544
2545 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2546
2547         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
2548         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
2549
2550 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2551
2552         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2553         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2554         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2555         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2556         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2557
2558 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2559
2560         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2561
2562         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2563         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2564
2565         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2566         Guile's module system.
2567
2568         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2569         changes:
2570         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2571         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2572         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2573         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
2574         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2575         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2576         modern CL behavior.
2577         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2578         '() when the condition is false.

2584 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2588 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2589
2590         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2591         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2592         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2593
2594 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2595
2596         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2597         argument order for hash-fold.

2601         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
2602         resolve-module.
2603         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2604         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2605
2606         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2607         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2608         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2609         has been added to the load path).
2610
2611         Use try-load-module.
2612
2613 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2614
2615         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
2616         module between system and user state.
2617
2618 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2619
2620         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2621
2622         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2623         definition.
2624
2625 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2626
2627         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2628         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2629         system can create a wrapper class for it.
2630
2631 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2632
2633         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2634         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
2635         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2636         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2637         stack frame encountered.
2638
2639         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2640         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2641         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2642         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2643         list).]
2644
2645         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2646         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2647         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2648         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2649         please tell me!]
2650
2651         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2652         define-module switches:
2653
2654         (define-module (foo)
2655           :no-backtrace)
2656
2657         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2658         modules.
2659
2660         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2661         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2662         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2663         module it is a system frame.
2664
2665         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2666         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2667         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2668         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2669         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2670
2671         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2672         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
2673         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2674         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2675         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
2676         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2677
2678         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2679         status of a module.;
2680         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2681         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2682
2683         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2684         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2685         closure to the module.
2686
2687         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2688
2689 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2690
2691         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
2692
2693 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2694
2695         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
2696
2697 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2698
2699         Fix from Russ McManus:
2700         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2701         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2702         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2703         either an optional or required value.
2704
2705 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2706
2707         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2708
2709         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2710         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2711
2712         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2713         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2714         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2715         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2716
2717 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2718
2719         * optargs.scm: New file.
2720         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2721         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2722
2723 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2724
2725         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2726         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2727         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2728
2729 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2730
2731         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2732         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2733         for isn't loaded.
2734
2735 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2736
2737         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2738
2739 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2740
2741         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2742         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2743         applied to the module itself.
2744
2745 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2746
2747         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2748
2749         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2750         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2751
2752 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2753
2754         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2755
2756 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2757
2758         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2759
2760 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2761
2762         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2763         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2764
2765 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2766
2767         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2768         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2769         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2770         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2771         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2772         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2773         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2774
2775 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2776
2777         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2778         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2779
2780 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2781
2782         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2783         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2784         static libraries.
2785
2786 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2787
2788         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2789
2790 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2791
2792         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2793
2794 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2795
2796         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2797         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2798         adapt to the new hooks.
2799
2800 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2801
2802         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2803         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2804         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2805         code.
2806         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2807         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2808
2809         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2810         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2811         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2812         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2813         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2814         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2815         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2816         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2817         first to register linked modules.
2818
2819         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2820         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2821         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2822
2823         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2824         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2825         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2826         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2827
2828         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2829         to use from C:
2830         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2831         libguile/feature.c.
2832
2833         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2834         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2835         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2836
2837 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2838
2839         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2840         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2841         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2842
2843 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2844
2845         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2846         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2847         result of the last form.
2848
2849 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2850
2851         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2852         syncase.scm.
2853
2854         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2855
2856         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2857         readline-set!: New options interface.
2858
2859         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2860
2861 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2862
2863         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2864         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2865
2866 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2867
2868         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2869         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2870
2871 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2872
2873         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2874         interactive session.
2875         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2876
2877         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2878         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2879
2880 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2881
2882         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2883
2884 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2885
2886         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2887         read line was empty.
2888
2889 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2890
2891         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2892         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2893
2894         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2895
2896         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2897         problem.  Duh.
2898         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2899         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2900         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2901
2902         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2903         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2904         into...
2905         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2906         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2907         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2908
2909         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2910         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2911         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2912         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2913         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2914         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2915         psyntax.ss.
2916         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2917
2918         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2919         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2920
2921 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2922
2923         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2924         and short vectors #h(...).
2925
2926 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2927
2928         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2929         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2930         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2931
2932 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2933
2934         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2935         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2936         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2937
2938 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2939
2940         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2941         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2942
2943         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2944         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2945         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2946         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2947
2948 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2949
2950         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2951         trace flag.
2952
2953         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2954         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2955         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2956         context with traps enabled.
2957
2958 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2959
2960         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2961         module.
2962         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2963
2964 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2965
2966         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2967         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2968         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2969         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2970         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2971
2972 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2973
2974         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2975         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2976
2977 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2978
2979         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2980
2981 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2982
2983         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2984
2985 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2986
2987         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2988
2989 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2990
2991         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2992         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2993
2994 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2995
2996         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2997         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2998         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2999         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
3000         Archibald.)
3001
3002         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
3003         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
3004         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
3005
3006 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3007
3008         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
3009         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
3010         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
3011         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
3012         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
3013         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
3014         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
3015
3016 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3017
3018         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
3019
3020 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3021
3022         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
3023         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
3024         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
3025         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
3026         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
3027         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
3028
3029 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3030
3031         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
3032         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
3033         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
3034         Steven G. Johnson.)
3035
3036 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3037
3038         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
3039
3040 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3041
3042         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
3043
3044 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3045
3046         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
3047         be completed.
3048
3049 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3050
3051         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
3052
3053 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3054
3055         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
3056         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
3057
3058 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3059
3060         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
3061         similar in use to `use-modules'.
3062         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
3063         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
3064         transformer.
3065         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
3066         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
3067
3068 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3069
3070         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
3071
3072 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3073
3074         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
3075         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
3076         completion.
3077
3078         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
3079         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
3080
3081         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
3082         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
3083         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
3084
3085         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
3086
3087 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3088
3089         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
3090
3091         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
3092         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
3093
3094 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3095
3096         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
3097
3098 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3099
3100         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
3101         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
3102
3103         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
3104
3105         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
3106         obsolete.
3107
3108 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3109
3110         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
3111         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
3112
3113 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3114
3115         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
3116
3117 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3118
3119         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
3120         Stachowiak.)
3121
3122 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3123
3124         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
3125         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
3126         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
3127         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
3128         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
3129         threads.
3130
3131 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3132
3133         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
3134         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
3135         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
3136
3137 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3138
3139         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
3140
3141         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
3142         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
3143
3144 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3145
3146         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
3147         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
3148         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
3149         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
3150         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
3151         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
3152         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
3153         to go here.
3154
3155 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3156
3157         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
3158         is now a fluid.
3159
3160 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3161
3162         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
3163         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
3164         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
3165         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
3166         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
3167         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
3168
3169 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3170
3171         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
3172         usefully so they will work from a script.
3173
3174 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3175
3176         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
3177         neighborhood of the record code.
3178
3179 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3180
3181         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
3182         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
3183         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
3184         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
3185
3186 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3187
3188         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
3189         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
3190         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3191
3192 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3193
3194         Add support for readline function.
3195         * readline.scm: New module.
3196         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
3197         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
3198         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
3199         anything.
3200         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
3201         repl-reader to use them.
3202         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
3203
3204         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
3205
3206 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3207
3208         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3209         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
3210
3211 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3212
3213         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
3214         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
3215         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
3216
3217 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3218
3219         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
3220         #f, abort terminates the process.
3221         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
3222         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
3223
3224 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3225
3226         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
3227         print-state, throw it away.
3228
3229 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3230
3231         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
3232         `0'.
3233
3234 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3235
3236         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
3237         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
3238         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
3239         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
3240         user field).
3241         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
3242         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
3243
3244 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3245
3246         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
3247
3248 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3249
3250         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
3251         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
3252         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
3253         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3254         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
3255         boot-9.scm.
3256         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
3257         distribution and installation.
3258         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3259
3260 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3261
3262         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
3263
3264 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3265
3266         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
3267         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
3268         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
3269
3270         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
3271         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
3272         symbol.
3273
3274 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3275
3276         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
3277
3278         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
3279
3280 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3281
3282         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
3283         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
3284         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
3285         field a separate argument.
3286
3287         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
3288
3289 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3290
3291         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
3292
3293         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
3294         vicinity;
3295         Provide defmacro.
3296
3297 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3298
3299         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
3300
3301 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3302
3303         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
3304         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
3305         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
3306         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
3307         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
3308         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
3309         registered.
3310         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
3311         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
3312         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
3313         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
3314         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
3315         link a .so-file.

3321 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3322
3323         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
3324         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
3325

3327
3328         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
3329
3330         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
3331         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
3332         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
3333         expansion inside the slib module.
3334
3335         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
3336         constructors.

3343         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
3344
3345         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
3346         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
3347         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
3348         source.
3349         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
3350         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
3351         been loaded.
3352
3353 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

3358         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
3359
3360         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

3362         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
3363         mutator for module-associated transformer.
3364         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
3365         `scm:eval-transformer'.
3366         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
3367         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
3368         module.
3369         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
3370
3371 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3372
3373         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
3374
3375         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
3376         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
3377         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
3378         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
3379         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
3380
3381         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
3382         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
3383         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
3384         syncase macros.
3385         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
3386         the syncase interface.
3387
3388 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3389
3390         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
3391         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
3392         workings of the current module system).
3393
3394 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3395
3396         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
3397         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
3398         off!
3399
3400 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3405
3406 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3407
3408         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
3409         according to the following priorities:
3410         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
3411         2. bindings from the-scm-module
3412         3. tcl bindings
3413         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
3414         disabling the scheme interpreter.
3415         (new-interpreter): New function.
3416
3417         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
3418         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
3419         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

3436
3437         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
3438         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
3439         source!
3440
3441 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

3448         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
3449         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
3450         in stack-ref).
3451
3452         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
3453         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
3454         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
3455         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
3456         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
3457         result protocol;

3470
3471 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3472
3473         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
3474         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
3475         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
3476
3477         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
3478
3479         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
3480         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
3481         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
3482

3491         cstime.
3492
3493 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3494
3495         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
3496         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
3497         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
3498
3499         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
3500         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
3501         the top.
3502
3503         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
3504         order to narrow it correctly.
3505         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

3513
3514         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.

3517
3518         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
3519         builtin `with-fluids*'.
3520
3521 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3522
3523         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3524         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
3525         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
3526
3527 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3539
3540 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3541
3542         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
3543         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
3544         a default of /.
3545
3546         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
3547
3548 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3549
3550         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
3551         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
3552         notation, instead of #/ notation.

3558
3559         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3560         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3561         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
3562         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3563         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3564         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3565
3566         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3567         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3568         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3569         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3570
3571 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3572
3573         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3574         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
3575         sending in bug reports.
3576         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3577         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3578         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3579         display a warning if the two are different.
3580         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3581         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3582         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3583
3584 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

3590         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3591         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3592
3593         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3594         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3595         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3596         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3597         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3598         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3599         that's okay.
3600
3601         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
3602         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3603         regexp interface.
3604
3605         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3606         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
3607
3608         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3609         function names.
3610
3611         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3612         fixes.

3615
3616         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3617         ../configure.in.
3618
3619 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3620
3621         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3622         vtable and not the one of the struct.
3623
3624 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3625
3626         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3627         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3628         to support printing of structures.
3629         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3630         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
3631         commented out printing code.
3632         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3633         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".

3635 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3636
3637         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3638
3639 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3640
3641         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3642         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3643         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3644         during call to scm-style-repl.

3646 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3647
3648         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3649         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3650         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3651         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3652         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3653
3654 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3655
3656         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3657         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3658         (ice-9 regex).
3659
3660 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3661
3662         * regex.scm: New file.
3663         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3664         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3665
3666 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3667
3668         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
3669         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
3670         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
3671         threads.scm: New address for FSF.
3672
3673 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3674
3675         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
3676         in 1997.
3677
3678 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3679
3680         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3681         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3682         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3683
3684 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3685
3686         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3687         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3688         here.
3689
3690 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3691
3692         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3693
3694 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3695
3696         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3697
3698 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3699
3700         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3701         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3702         fixes this too.
3703
3704 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3705
3706         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3707         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3708         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3709
3710 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3711
3712         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3713         the Scheme code like code yet.
3714         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3715
3716 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3717
3718         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3719         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3720         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3721
3722 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3723
3724         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3725         use-modules macro
3726         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3727         can't be found.
3728
3729 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3730
3731         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3732
3733 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3734
3735         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3736
3737         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3738         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3739         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3740
3741 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3742
3743         Get 'make dist' to work again.
3744         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3745         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
3746
3747         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3748         no plugins.
3749         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3750         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3751
3752 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3753
3754         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
3755         functions.
3756
3757 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3758
3759         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
3760
3761 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3762
3763         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3764         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
3765
3766 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3767
3768         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3769         instead of in libguile.
3770         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3771         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3772
3773 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3774
3775         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3776         procedures.
3777         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3778         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3779
3780 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3781
3782         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3783         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3784
3785 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3786
3787         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3788         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3789         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3790         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3791
3792 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3793
3794         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3795         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3796
3797 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3798
3799         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3800
3801 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3802
3803         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3804         keywords and symbols.
3805
3806 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3807
3808         * slib.scm: update read usage.
3809
3810         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3811         Don't define read-sharp.
3812
3813         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3814         (read-sharp): removed.
3815         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3816         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3817
3818 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3819
3820         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3821
3822         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
3823         primitive procedure.)
3824
3825         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3826         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3827
3828 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3829
3830         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3831
3832 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3833
3834         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3835
3836 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3837
3838         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3839         read gets EOF.
3840         * (exit): alias for quit.
3841
3842 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3843
3844         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3845         return the quit args.
3846         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3847         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3848         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3849
3850         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3851
3852 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3853
3854         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3855
3856         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3857         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3858
3859         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3860         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3861
3862         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3863         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3864         of handlers.
3865
3866 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3867
3868         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3869
3870         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3871         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3872         Change hooks to use these functions.
3873
3874         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3875         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3876         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3877         the source! :-)
3878         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3879         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3880         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3881         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3882         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3883         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3884         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3885         traced.
3886
3887         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3888         and exit-frame exceptions.
3889
3890         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3891         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3892         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3893         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3894         result; otherwise display "> ".
3895         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3896
3897         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3898         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3899         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3900         repository version runnable.
3901
3902 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3903
3904         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3905         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3906         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3907         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3908         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3909         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3910
3911 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3912
3913         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3914         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3915         and eval.
3916         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3917         "defined?".
3918         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3919         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3920
3921 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3922
3923         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3924
3925 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3926
3927         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3928         %read-sharp layer.
3929
3930 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3931
3932         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3933         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3934
3935 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3936
3937         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3938         backtrace.c.)
3939
3940 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3941
3942         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3943         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3944
3945 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3946
3947         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3948
3949         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3950         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3951         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3952         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3953         dynamic linking of modules.
3954         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3955         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3956
3957 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3958
3959         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3960
3961 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3962
3963         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3964         that's what it is.
3965
3966         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3967         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3968         was false.
3969
3970 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3971
3972         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3973         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3974         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3975
3976 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3977
3978         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3979         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
3980         yet.
3981
3982 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3983
3984         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3985         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3986         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3987
3988 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3989
3990         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3991         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3992         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3993         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3994
3995         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3996         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3997         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3998         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3999         (such as the-scm-module).

4001 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4002
4003         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
4004         %search-load-path.
4005
4006 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
4007
4008         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
4009         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
4010         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
4011
4012 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4013
4014         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
4015         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
4016         function, use it accordingly.
4017
4018 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4019
4020         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
4021         function of no arguments.
4022         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
4023         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
4024         set-current-module): Uses changed.
4025         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
4026         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
4027         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
4028         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
4029         *top-level-eval-closure*.
4030
4031 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4032
4033         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
4034         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
4035
4036 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4037
4038         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4039         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
4040         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
4041         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
4042         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
4043
4044         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
4045         `*features*'.
4046
4047         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
4048         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
4049         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
4050         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
4051
4052         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
4053
4054         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
4055
4056         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
4057         If the user wants to see this, he can do
4058         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
4059
4060         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
4061         error.
4062
4063         Added `before-read-hook'.
4064
4065         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
4066
4067         (provide): New function.
4068
4069         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
4070         in backtraces.
4071
4072         (backtrace): New function.
4073
4074         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
4075         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
4076         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
4077         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
4078         is found in operator position in a frame.
4079
4080         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4081         by default.
4082
4083         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
4084         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
4085         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
4086
4087         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
4088
4089         (library-vicinity): Updated.
4090
4091         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
4092
4093         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
4094
4095 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4096
4097         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
4098
4099         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
4100         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
4101
4102         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
4103         so they'll get distributed.
4104
4105         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
4106         should see as little clutter as possible.
4107         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
4108         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
4109         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
4110
4111         * r4rs.scm: New file.
4112         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
4113         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
4114         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
4115         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
4116         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
4117         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
4118         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
4119         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
4120         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
4121         that are not.
4122         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
4123         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
4124
4125         * test.scm: New file.
4126
4127         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
4128         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
4129         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
4130
4131         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
4132         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
4133
4134         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
4135         work now.
4136         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
4137         call %load-announce.
4138
4139 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4140
4141         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
4142         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
4143         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
4144         components.
4145         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
4146
4147 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4148
4149         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
4150         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
4151         SCSH (which this isn't).
4152
4153 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4154
4155         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4156
4157 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4158
4159         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
4160         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
4161         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
4162         these.
4163         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
4164         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
4165         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
4166         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
4167         save-stack.
4168
4169 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4170
4171         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
4172
4173         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
4174
4175         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
4176         error-catching-loop.
4177         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
4178         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
4179         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
4180
4181         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
4182         error-catching-loop.
4183
4184 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4185
4186         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
4187         (make-module): Rework for readability.
4188         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
4189         should be '(), not #f.
4190
4191         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
4192         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
4193
4194 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4195
4196         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
4197         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
4198         error-signal.
4199
4200 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4201
4202         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
4203         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
4204         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
4205         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
4206
4207 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4208
4209         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
4210
4211 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4212
4213         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
4214
4215         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
4216         throw-handler-default.
4217         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
4218         reported.
4219         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
4220         acro.
4221         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
4222         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
4223
4224 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4225
4226         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
4227         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
4228         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
4229         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
4230
4231 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4232
4233         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
4234         Append "." to the default %load-path.
4235         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
4236         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
4237         ...))
4238         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
4239         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
4240         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
4241         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
4242         file-is-directory?
4243
4244 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4245
4246         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
4247
4248         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
4249         distribution.
4250
4251         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
4252         `switch-repl'.
4253
4254         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
4255
4256 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4257
4258         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
4259         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
4260
4261 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4262
4263         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
4264
4265         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
4266
4267 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4268
4269         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
4270         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
4271         Don't set up 'error as a key.
4272         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
4273         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
4274
4275         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
4276         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
4277         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
4278         they seem redundant.
4279         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
4280         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
4281         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
4282         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
4283         directly files starting with "/").
4284         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
4285         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
4286
4287         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
4288
4289 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4290
4291         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
4292         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
4293         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
4294         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
4295         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
4296         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
4297         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
4298         robust to just do it in the C code.
4299
4300 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4301
4302         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
4303         %try-load itself was the primitive.
4304         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
4305         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
4306         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
4307
4308 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4309
4310         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
4311         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
4312         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
4313
4314 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4315
4316         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
4317         system-error, not every kind of error.
4318         (scm-error): new procedure.
4319
4320 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4321
4322         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4323
4324 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4325
4326         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
4327         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
4328         of args are supplied.
4329         (%%system-errors): removed.
4330         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.

4363
4364         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
4365         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
4366         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
4367         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
4368         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

4405         for these.
