1 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
3 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
5 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
7 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
9 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
11 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
12 long_long uniform vectors.

16 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
17 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
19 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

22 script to create generated files like this one.
24 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
26 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
27 available before using getpw and getuid.
28 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
29 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
31 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
32 check for .guile, instead of stat.
33 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
35 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
36 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
37 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
39 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
40 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
42 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
44 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

58 ("position"): New command.
59 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
60 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
61 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
62 to return a valid state.)
63 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
65 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
67 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
68 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
71 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
73 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
74 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
76 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
78 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
80 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
82 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
83 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
85 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
86 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
87 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
89 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
92 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
94 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
95 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
97 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
99 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
101 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
102 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
103 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
104 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
106 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
109 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
110 both forward and backward views of the stack
111 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
112 Use selector `frame-number';
113 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
114 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
116 Use readline conditionally.
118 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
120 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
121 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
122 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
124 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
125 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
128 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
130 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
132 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
134 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
136 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
138 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
140 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
141 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
142 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
143 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
144 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
145 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
146 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
147 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
148 libguile-config-stamp.
149 * version.scm.in: Delete.
150 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
151 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
152 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
153 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
155 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
157 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
158 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
159 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
161 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
162 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
163 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
164 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
167 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
169 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
171 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
173 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
175 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
176 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
178 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
180 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
181 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
182 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
183 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
184 objects starting with '#/'.
186 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
188 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
189 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
190 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
191 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
192 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
193 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
195 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
196 module-modified): New procedures.
197 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
198 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
200 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
202 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
205 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
207 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
208 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
209 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
211 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
214 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
216 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
217 at multiple calls to read.
218 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
219 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
220 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
221 continued-lines prompt.
223 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
226 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
228 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
229 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
231 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
233 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
234 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
237 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
239 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
240 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
242 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
243 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
244 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
245 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
246 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
249 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
251 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
252 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
254 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
256 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
257 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
258 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
259 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
261 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
263 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
265 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
266 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
267 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
270 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
272 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
273 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
274 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
275 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
276 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
277 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
278 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
279 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
280 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
281 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
282 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
284 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
286 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
287 peeked from the stream.
288 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
289 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
290 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
292 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
294 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
295 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
297 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
299 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
300 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
301 exiting repl with single control-D.
303 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
305 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
306 error catching loop after quit received.
307 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
309 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
310 primitive exit if non-interactive.
311 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
313 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
314 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
316 * popen.scm: new file.
318 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
320 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
321 (reverse-iota): removed.
323 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
325 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
326 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
328 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
330 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
331 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
332 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
333 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
334 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
336 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
338 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
340 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
341 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
343 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
344 Guile's module system.
346 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
348 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
349 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
350 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
351 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
352 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
353 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
355 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
356 '() when the condition is false.
358 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
360 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
362 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
364 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
366 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
368 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
369 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
370 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
372 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
374 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
375 argument order for hash-fold.
377 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
379 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
381 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
382 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
384 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
385 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
386 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
387 has been added to the load path).
391 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
393 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
394 module between system and user state.
396 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
398 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
400 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
403 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
405 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
406 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
407 system can create a wrapper class for it.
409 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
411 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
412 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
413 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
414 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
415 stack frame encountered.
417 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
418 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
419 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
420 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
423 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
424 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
425 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
426 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
429 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
430 define-module switches:
435 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
438 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
439 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
440 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
441 module it is a system frame.
443 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
444 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
445 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
446 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
447 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
449 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
450 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
451 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
452 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
453 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
454 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
456 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
458 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
459 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
461 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
462 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
463 closure to the module.

467 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
469 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
471 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
473 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
475 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
477 Fix from Russ McManus:
478 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
479 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
480 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
481 either an optional or required value.
483 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
485 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
487 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
488 of the '() key, not `rest'.
490 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
491 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
492 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
493 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
495 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
497 * optargs.scm: New file.
498 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
499 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
501 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
503 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
504 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
505 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
507 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
509 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
510 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
513 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
515 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
517 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
519 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
520 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
521 applied to the module itself.
523 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
525 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
527 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
528 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
530 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
532 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
534 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

545 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
546 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
547 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
548 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
549 among BINDINGS is referenced.
550 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
551 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
553 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
555 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
556 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
558 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
560 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
561 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
564 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
566 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
568 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
570 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
572 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
574 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
575 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
576 adapt to the new hooks.
578 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
580 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
581 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
582 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
584 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
585 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
587 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
588 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
589 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
590 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
591 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
592 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
593 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
594 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
595 first to register linked modules.
597 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
598 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
599 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
601 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
602 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
603 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
604 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
606 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
608 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
611 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
612 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
613 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
615 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
617 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
618 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
619 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
621 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
623 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
624 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
625 result of the last form.
627 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
629 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
632 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
634 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
635 readline-set!: New options interface.
637 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
639 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
641 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
642 at the end of boot-9.scm.
644 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
646 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
647 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
649 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
651 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
653 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
655 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
656 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
658 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
660 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
662 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
664 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
667 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
669 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
670 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
672 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
674 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
676 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
677 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
678 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
680 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
681 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
683 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
684 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
685 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
687 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
688 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
689 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
690 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
691 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
692 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
694 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
696 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
697 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
699 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
701 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
702 and short vectors #h(...).
704 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
706 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
707 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
708 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
710 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
712 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
713 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
714 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
716 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
718 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
719 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
721 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
722 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
723 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
724 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
726 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
728 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
731 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
732 order to allow the empty list as arg.
733 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
734 context with traps enabled.
736 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
738 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
740 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
742 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
744 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
745 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
746 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
747 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
748 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
750 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
752 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
753 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
755 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
757 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
759 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
761 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
763 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
765 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
767 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
769 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
770 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
772 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
774 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
775 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
776 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
777 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
780 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
781 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
782 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
784 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
786 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
787 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
788 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
789 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
790 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
791 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
792 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
794 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
796 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
798 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
800 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
801 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
802 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
803 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
804 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
805 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
807 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
809 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
810 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
811 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
814 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
816 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
818 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
820 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
822 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
824 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
827 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
829 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
831 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
833 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
834 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
836 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
838 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
839 similar in use to `use-modules'.
840 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
841 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
843 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
844 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
846 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
848 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
850 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
852 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
853 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
856 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
857 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
859 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
860 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
861 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
863 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
865 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
867 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
869 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
870 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
872 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
874 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
876 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
878 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
879 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
881 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
883 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
886 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
888 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
889 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
891 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
893 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
895 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
897 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
900 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
902 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
903 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
904 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
905 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
906 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
909 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
911 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
912 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
913 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
915 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
917 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
919 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
920 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
922 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
924 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
925 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
926 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
927 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
928 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
929 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
930 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
933 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
935 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
938 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
940 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
941 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
942 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
943 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
944 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
945 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
947 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
949 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
950 usefully so they will work from a script.
952 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
954 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
955 neighborhood of the record code.
957 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
959 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
960 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
961 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
962 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
964 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
966 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
967 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
968 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
970 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
972 Add support for readline function.
973 * readline.scm: New module.
974 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
975 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
976 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
978 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
979 repl-reader to use them.
980 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
982 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
984 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
986 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
987 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
989 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
991 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
992 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
993 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
995 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
997 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
998 #f, abort terminates the process.
999 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1000 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1002 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1004 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1005 print-state, throw it away.
1007 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1009 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1012 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1014 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1015 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1016 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1017 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1019 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1020 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1022 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1024 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1026 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1028 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1029 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1030 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1031 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1032 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1034 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1035 distribution and installation.
1036 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1038 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1040 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1042 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1044 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1045 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1046 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1048 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1049 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1052 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1054 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1056 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1058 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1060 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1061 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1062 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1063 field a separate argument.
1065 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1067 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1069 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1071 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1075 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1077 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1079 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1081 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1082 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1083 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1084 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1085 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1086 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1088 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1089 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1090 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1091 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1092 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1095 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1097 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
1099 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1101 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1102 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1104 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1106 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1108 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1109 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1110 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1111 expansion inside the slib module.
1113 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1115 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1116 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

1121 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1123 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1124 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1125 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1127 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1128 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1131 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1133 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1134 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1136 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1138 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1139 (make-module): Modified initialization.
1140 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1141 mutator for module-associated transformer.

1143 `scm:eval-transformer'.
1144 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1145 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1147 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)

1151 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1153 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1154 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1155 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1156 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1157 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1159 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1160 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1161 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1163 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1164 the syncase interface.
1166 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1168 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1169 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1170 workings of the current module system).
1172 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1174 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1175 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

1184 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1186 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1187 according to the following priorities:
1188 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1189 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1191 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1192 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1193 (new-interpreter): New function.
1195 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1196 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1197 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1199 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1201 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1215 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1216 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the

1227 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1230 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when

1234 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1236 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1237 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1239 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1241 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1242 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1244 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1245 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1247 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1249 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1251 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1252 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1253 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.

1257 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

1271 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1273 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1274 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1275 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1277 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1278 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1281 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1282 order to narrow it correctly.
1283 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

1290 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1292 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1294 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1296 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1297 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1299 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1301 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1302 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1303 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1305 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1307 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1310 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1312 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1313 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1314 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1315 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.

1318 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1320 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1321 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1324 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.

1337 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1338 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1339 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1340 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1341 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1342 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1344 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1345 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1346 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1347 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1349 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1351 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1352 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1353 sending in bug reports.
1354 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1355 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1356 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1357 display a warning if the two are different.
1358 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1359 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1360 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1366 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1368 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1369 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1371 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1372 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1373 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1374 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1375 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1376 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1379 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1380 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1383 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1384 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1386 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1389 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1392 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1397 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1399 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1400 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1402 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1404 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1405 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1406 to support printing of structures.
1407 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1408 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1409 commented out printing code.
1410 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1411 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".

1420 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1421 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1422 during call to scm-style-repl.
1424 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1426 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1427 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1428 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1429 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1430 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1432 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1434 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1435 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1438 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1440 * regex.scm: New file.
1441 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1442 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1447 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1448 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1449 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1451 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1453 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1456 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1458 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1459 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1460 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1462 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1464 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1465 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1468 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1470 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

1474 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1476 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1478 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1479 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1482 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1484 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1485 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1486 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1488 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1490 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1491 the Scheme code like code yet.
1492 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1494 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1496 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1497 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1498 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1500 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1502 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1504 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules

1509 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1511 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1513 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1515 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1516 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1517 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1519 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1521 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1522 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1523 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.

1553 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1555 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.

1565 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1566 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1567 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1568 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1570 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1572 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,

1586 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1588 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1589 Don't define read-sharp.
1591 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1592 (read-sharp): removed.
1593 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1594 case_i or read-sharp arguments.

1616 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1618 * (exit): alias for quit.
1620 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1622 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1623 return the quit args.
1624 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1625 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1626 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1628 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1630 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1632 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1634 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1635 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1637 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1638 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1640 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1641 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1644 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1646 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1648 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1649 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1650 Change hooks to use these functions.
1652 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1653 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1654 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1656 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1657 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1658 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1659 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1660 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1661 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1662 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1665 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1666 and exit-frame exceptions.
1668 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1669 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1670 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1671 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1672 result; otherwise display "> ".
1673 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1675 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1676 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1677 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1678 repository version runnable.
1680 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1682 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1683 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1684 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1685 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1686 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1687 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1689 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1691 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1692 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1694 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1696 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1697 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1699 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1701 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1703 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1705 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1708 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1710 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1711 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1713 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1715 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1718 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1720 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1721 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1723 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1725 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1727 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1728 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1729 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1730 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1731 dynamic linking of modules.
1732 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1733 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1735 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1737 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1739 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1741 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1744 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1745 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1748 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1750 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1751 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1752 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1754 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1756 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1757 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1760 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1762 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1763 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1764 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1766 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1768 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1769 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1770 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1771 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1773 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1774 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1775 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1776 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1777 (such as the-scm-module).
1779 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1781 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1784 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1786 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1787 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1788 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1790 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1792 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1793 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1794 function, use it accordingly.
1796 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1798 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1799 function of no arguments.
1800 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1801 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1802 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1803 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1804 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1805 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1806 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1807 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1809 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1811 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1812 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1814 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1816 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1817 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1818 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1819 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1820 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1822 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1825 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1826 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1827 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1828 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1830 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1832 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1834 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1835 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1836 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1838 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1841 Added `before-read-hook'.
1843 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1845 (provide): New function.
1847 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1850 (backtrace): New function.
1852 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1853 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1854 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1855 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1856 is found in operator position in a frame.
1858 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1861 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1862 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1863 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1865 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1867 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1869 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1871 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1873 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1875 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1877 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1878 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
1880 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1881 so they'll get distributed.
1883 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
1884 should see as little clutter as possible.
1885 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1886 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1887 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1889 * r4rs.scm: New file.
1890 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1891 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1892 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1893 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1894 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1895 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1896 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1897 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1898 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1900 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1901 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1903 * test.scm: New file.
1905 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1906 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
1907 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1909 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1910 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1912 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1914 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
1915 call %load-announce.
1917 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1919 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1920 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1921 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1923 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1925 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1927 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1928 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1929 SCSH (which this isn't).
1931 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1933 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1935 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1937 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1938 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1939 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1941 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
1942 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
1943 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1944 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1947 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1949 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1951 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1953 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1954 error-catching-loop.
1955 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1956 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1957 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1959 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1960 error-catching-loop.
1962 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1964 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1965 (make-module): Rework for readability.
1966 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1967 should be '(), not #f.
1969 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1970 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1972 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1974 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1975 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1978 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1980 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1981 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1982 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1983 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1985 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1987 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1989 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1991 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1993 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1994 throw-handler-default.
1995 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1997 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1999 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2000 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2002 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2004 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2005 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2006 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2007 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2009 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2011 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2012 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2013 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2014 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2016 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2017 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2018 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2019 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2022 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2024 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2026 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2029 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2032 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2034 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2036 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2037 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2039 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2041 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2043 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2045 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2047 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2048 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2049 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2050 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2051 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2053 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2054 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2055 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2056 they seem redundant.
2057 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2058 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2059 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2060 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2061 directly files starting with "/").
2062 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2063 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2065 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2067 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2069 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2070 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2071 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2072 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2073 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2074 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2075 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2076 robust to just do it in the C code.
2078 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2080 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2081 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2082 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2083 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2084 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2086 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2088 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2089 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2090 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2092 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2094 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2095 system-error, not every kind of error.
2096 (scm-error): new procedure.
2098 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2100 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2102 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2104 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2105 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2106 of args are supplied.
2107 (%%system-errors): removed.
2108 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2109 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2110 %%handle-system-error.
2111 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2112 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2113 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2114 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2116 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2118 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2119 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2120 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and

2142 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2143 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2144 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2145 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2146 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

2226 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2228 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
