  22
  23 2002-11-24  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  24
  25         Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
  26         following changes:
  27
  28         * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
  29
  30         (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
  31         %system-define.
  32
  33         * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
  34         until Guile supports hygienic macros.
  35
  36 2002-11-17  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  37
  38         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
  39         has been removed from the core.
  40
  41 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  42
  43         * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
  44         identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
  45         syntax-rules, with-syntax, include):  Changed definitions to form
  46         'real' macro definitions.
  47
  48 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  49
  50         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
  51         Fixed my previous fix (blush).
  52
  53 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  54
  55         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
  56         Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
  57
  58 2002-11-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  59
  60         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition
  61         needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.
  62
  63 2002-11-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  64
  65         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"
  66         change below.

  68         * debugger/breakpoints/source.scm: Enable source property
  69         recording when module is loaded.
  70         (##): Cope with ports whose `filename' is not a string.
  71
  72 2002-11-04  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  73

  75         code.
  76
  77         * debugger/command-loop.scm (read-and-dispatch-command): Import
  78         set-readline-prompt dynamically if we need to.  (Previous
  79         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
  80         readline).)

  82 2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  83
  84         * format.scm (format): Wrap a monitor around format:format since

  88
  89         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'.  This
  90         value will be returned by join-thread.
  91
  92 2002-10-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  93
  94         Merging debugger enhancements previously in separate
  95         `guile-debugger' package ...
  96
  97         * debugger.scm: Factored out into the following constituent parts
  98         - see comment in file for more details.
  99         (*not-yet-introduced*): New (avoids repeatedly introducing the
 100         debugger when entering it from breakpoints).
 101         (debug-stack): New.
 102         (debug): Rewrite to use more general `debug-stack'.
 103
 104         * debugger/commands.scm, debugger/command-loop.scm,
 105         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits
 106         of old (ice-9 debugger), plus some rewriting and enhancements for
 107         breakpoint support ...
 108
 109         * debugger/state.scm (state-rtd): Add flags field.

 113         (write-state-short): Rewritten to print out the current source
 114         location in a way that is more easily trackable by Emacs.
 115
 116         * debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
 117         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
 118         execution from a breakpoint.
 119
 120         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,
 121         debugger/breakpoints/procedural.scm,
 122         debugger/breakpoints/range.scm, debugger/breakpoints/source.scm,
 123         debugger/trap-hooks.scm, debugger/trc.scm: New files - breakpoint

 131
 132         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Do not call unmask-signals, that
 133         should be unnecessary now.
 134
 135 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 136
 137         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
 138         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
 139         the-root-module.
 140
 141 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 142
 143         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
 144         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and
 145         call-with-unblocked-asyncs instead of mask-signals and
 146         unmask-signals.
 147
 148 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

 154
 155         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
 156         >= 0.
 157
 158 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 159
 160         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to
 161         limit the signal stack.
 162

 164

 172
 173         * syncase.scm: Set the module transformer of the-syncase-module so

 212
 213         * format.scm (format:fn-max): Increase to 400 so ~f and ~g can

 215         exponents.
 216
 217 2002-05-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 222
 223         * gap-buffer.scm: New file.

 246
 247         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
 248         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
 249         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
 250
 251         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.

 264
 265         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
 266         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
 267         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
 268         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
 269
 270 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 271

 274         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
 275         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
 276         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
 277
 278 2001-11-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 279
 280         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have

 284

 288         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
 289         positions.
 290
 291 2001-10-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 292
 293         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 294         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 295         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 296
 297         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,
 298           channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,
 299           expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, ls.scm, mapping.scm,
 300           null.scm, optargs.scm, poe.scm, popen.scm, pretty-print.scm,
 301           q.scm, r5rs.scm, rdelim.scm, regex.scm, runq.scm, safe-r5rs.scm,

 303           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
 304           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 305           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 306           exporting bindings.
 307
 308 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 309
 310         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,

 312
 313 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 314
 315         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 316         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 317         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 318         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 319
 320 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 321
 322         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
 323         %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,
 324         %%apropos-internal): Use module-define! instead of
 325         builtin-variable.

 329         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.
 330
 331 2001-09-19  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>
 332
 333         * expect.scm: Commentary fix; nfc.
 334
 335         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
 336
 337 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 338
 339         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 340         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
 341
 342 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 343
 344         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 345         the `arglist' procedure property.
 346         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 347         present a more detailed argument list.
 348
 349         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 350
 351 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 352
 353         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
 354         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel
 355         Skarda.
 356

 358
 359         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
 360
 361         (feature?): Deprecated.
 362
 363         (id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags,
 364         eval-in-module, split-c-module-name,
 365         (convert-c-registered-modules, registered-modules,

 376         functionality.
 377
 378         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
 379         needed to trick export.
 380

 382
 383         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.
 384
 385 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 386
 387         * and-let-star-compat.scm:  Deleted.

 396

 403
 404         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

 417 2001-08-02  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 418
 419         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
 420
 421         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
 422         value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
 423         next element is to be taken as the option arg.
 424
 425 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
 426
 427         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
 428         handle :use-syntax correctly.
 429
 430 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 431
 432         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
 433         compile-psyntax.scm.
 434
 435 2001-07-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 436
 437         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
 438         maintainer mode.  Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
 439         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
 440         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
 441         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.

 449 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 450
 451         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 452         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
 453
 454 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 455
 456         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
 457         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
 458         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
 459         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
 460
 461         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 462         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
 463         since there aren't definitions for them.
 464
 465         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
 466         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
 467
 468 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 469
 470         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
 471         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
 472
 473 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 474
 475         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
 476         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
 477
 478 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 479
 480         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
 481         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
 482         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.

 489
 490 2001-06-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 491
 492         Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
 493         is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
 494
 495         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
 496         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
 497         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
 498         New.
 499
 500 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 501
 502         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
 503         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
 504
 505 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 506
 507         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
 508         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
 509
 510         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
 511         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
 512         evaluator trap options.)

 538         (slib:error): Delete.
 539         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
 540
 541         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.

 549
 550 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 551
 552         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
 553         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
 554         rdelim) module.  See below.
 555
 556 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 557
 558         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
 559         include-deprecated-features is true.
 560
 561 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 562
 563         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
 564         unknown objects.
 565
 566         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
 567         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
 568         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 569
 570         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
 571         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
 572         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
 573         Köppe!
 574
 575 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 576
 577         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
 578         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
 579         variable, not just a visible one.
 580         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
 581         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
 582         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
 583         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
 584         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
 585         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
 586         variables.
 587         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
 588
 589         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
 590         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
 591
 592 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 593
 594         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
 595         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
 596
 597 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 598
 599         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
 600
 601 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 602
 603         Added exception notice to all files.
 604
 605         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
 606         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
 607         importing bindings once in a while.
 608
 609 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 610
 611         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
 612         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
 613         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 614         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
 615         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 616         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 617         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 618         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
 619         message.
 620         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
 621         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
 622
 623 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 624
 625         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
 626         fix command so that it works.
 627
 628         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
 629         to access unbound variables.
 630
 631         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
 632         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
 633         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
 634         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
 635         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
 636
 637 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 638
 639         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
 640         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
 641         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
 642         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
 643         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
 644         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
 645         argument for process-define-module.
 646         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
 647         arguments for process-use-modules.
 648         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
 649
 650 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 651
 652         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
 653         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
 654         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
 655         module.
 656
 657         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
 658         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
 659         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
 660
 661         * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.

 664
 665         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
 666         to feature lists.
 667         (cond-expand): Use feature information associated with modules.
 668
 669 2001-05-21  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 670
 671         * boot-9.scm (use-srfis): Do not extend the srfi-0 feature list.

 674 2001-05-22  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 675
 676         * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
 677         (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when
 678         getting the syntax transformer.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 679
 680 2001-05-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 681
 682         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
 683         deprecated features have been removed.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
 684
 685         * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
 686         `display'.
 687
 688 2001-05-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 689
 690         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
 691         * match.scm: Likewise.
 692         * expect.scm: Likewise.
 693         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 694
 695         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
 696
 697         * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
 698
 699         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
 700         set-current-module.
 701         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
 702         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
 703         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
 704         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
 705         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
 706         element list when adding "." to it.
 707         (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
 708         dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
 709
 710 2001-05-18  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 711
 712         * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
 713         cleanup; nfc.
 714         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
 715         now accepts arg; update callers.
 716         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
 717         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
 718
 719         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
 720         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
 721         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
 722         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
 723         `search-documentation-files'.
 724         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
 725         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.

 727
 728         * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
 729         Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.

 736
 737         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
 738         so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.
 739         (use-srfis): New procedure.
 740
 741 2001-05-15  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 742
 743         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Signal error now also if
 744         used module's public interface is not available.
 745         No longer call `beautify-user-module!'.
 746         Signal error now also if selected binding not found.
 747
 748 2001-05-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 749
 750         Merge from mvo-vcell-clenaup-1-branch.
 751
 752         * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
 753         the module obarray.
 754         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
 755
 756         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
 757         the magical undefined value.
 758         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
 759         the default default for bindings.
 760
 761         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
 762         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 763         (root-module-closure): Removed.
 764         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 765         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.
 766         (scm-module-closure): Removed.
 767         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 768         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.  Set the
 769         eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
 770         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
 771         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 772         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
 773         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
 774         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These

 778         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.

1150         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1151         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1152         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1153         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1154         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1155         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.

1163

1192 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1193
1194         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1195         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1196         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1197         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1198         scm-style-repl.

1204
1205 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1206
1207         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1208         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1209         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1210         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1211         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1212         Pirotte for the bug report).
1213         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1214         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

1239         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1240         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1241
1242         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a

1244         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1245         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1246         actual documentation entries themselves.

1279         args.
1280         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1281         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1282         even worked...  /mdj.
1283         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1284         `symbol->string'.
1285         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1286         semantics.

1313         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1314         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1315         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1316         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1317         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)

1322
1323         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
1324         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1325
1326         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1327         syntactic bindings.
1328
1329         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1330         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1331         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
1332         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.

1342         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1343
1344 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1345
1346         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to

1377
1378 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1379
1380         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.

1394         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1395         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1396
1397         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.

1419

1427
1428 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1429
1430         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1431         '() instead of #f.
1432         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1433         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1434         `the-root-module'.

1441         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1442         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1443         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1444         (help): Rewritten.
1445
1446         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1447

1458
1459         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1460         `proc-documentation'
1461
1462         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
1463         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1464         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1465         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1466         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1467         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1468         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1469         getter...)

1478         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
1479         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1480         closure.
1481
1482 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1483
1484         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
1485         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1486         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
1487         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
1488         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1489         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1490         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1491
1492 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1493
1494         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not

1502 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1503
1504         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1505         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1506         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1507         instead of remove-if when iterating.
1508         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of

1511 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1512
1513         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1514
1515 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1516
1517         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
1518
1519 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1520
1521         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1522         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
1523         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1524         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1525
1526 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1527
1528         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
1529         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1530
1531 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1532
1533         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
1534         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1535         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
1536         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
1537
1538 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1539
1540         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1541         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1542
1543 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1544
1545         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1546         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1547
1548 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1549
1550         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1551         Dirk Hermann!
1552
1553 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1554
1555         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1556         source of the numerous very short changes.
1557
1558 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1559
1560         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1561         public.
1562
1563         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1564         info pages.
1565
1566 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1567
1568         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1569         from slib docs.
1570
1571 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1572
1573         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1574         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1575
1576 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1577
1578         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1579         to string-append.
1580
1581 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1582
1583         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1584         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
1585         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1586
1587 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1588
1589         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1590         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1591         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
1592         Narazaki for this change.
1593
1594 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1595
1596         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1597         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1598         %S.
1599
1600         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1601         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1602
1603 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1604
1605         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1606         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1607
1608 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1609
1610         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1611         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1612         use define-public to export from the module.
1613
1614 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1615
1616         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1617         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1618         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1619
1620 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1621
1622         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1623
1624 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1625
1626         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1627         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1628
1629 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1630
1631         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1632
1633         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1634
1635         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1636
1637 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1638
1639         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1640         long_long uniform vectors.
1641
1642 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1643
1644         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1645         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
1646
1647 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1648
1649         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
1650         script to create generated files like this one.
1651
1652 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1653
1654         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1655         available before using getpw and getuid.
1656         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1657         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1658         check for stat.
1659         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1660         check for .guile, instead of stat.
1661         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1662         available.
1663         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
1664         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1665         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1666
1667         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
1668         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1669
1670         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1671
1672 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1673
1674         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
1675         than 'exit-debugger.
1676
1677         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1678         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1679
1680         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1681
1682 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1683
1684         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
1685         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1686         ("position"): New command.
1687         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1688         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.

1691         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
1692
1693 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1694
1695         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1696         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
1697         Badros.)
1698
1699 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1700
1701         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1702         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1703
1704 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1705
1706         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
1707
1708         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.

1720 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1721
1722         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1723         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1724
1725         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1726
1727 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1728
1729         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1730         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1731         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1732         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1733
1734         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1735         argument.
1736
1737         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1738         both forward and backward views of the stack
1739         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1740         Use selector `frame-number';
1741         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1742         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1743         Use (ice-9 debug).
1744         Use readline conditionally.
1745
1746 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1747
1748         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1749         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1750         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1751
1752         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1753         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
1754         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
1755
1756 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1757
1758         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1759
1760         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1761
1762         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1763
1764         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1765
1766 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1767
1768         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1769         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
1770         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
1771         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1772         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1773         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1774         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1775         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1776         libguile-config-stamp.
1777         * version.scm.in: Delete.
1778         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1779         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1780         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1781         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1782
1783 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1784
1785         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1786         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1787         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1788
1789         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1790         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1791         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1792         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
1793         readline.
1794
1795         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1796
1797 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1798
1799         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1800
1801 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1802
1803         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1804         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1805
1806 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1807
1808         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1809         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1810         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1811         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1812         objects starting with '#/'.
1813
1814 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1815
1816         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1817         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1818         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1819         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1820         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1821         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1822         `observer-id'.
1823         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1824         module-modified): New procedures.
1825         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1826         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1827
1828 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1829
1830         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1831         defines.
1832
1833 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1834
1835         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1836         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1837         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1838
1839         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1840         position.
1841
1842 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1843
1844         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1845         at multiple calls to read.
1846         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1847         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1848         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1849         continued-lines prompt.
1850
1851         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1852         reading expressions.
1853
1854 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1855
1856         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1857         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1858
1859 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1860
1861         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1862         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
1863         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1864
1865         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1866
1867         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1868         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1869
1870         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1871         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
1872         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1873         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1874         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1875         instead of a port.
1876
1877 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1878
1879         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1880         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1881
1882         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1883
1884         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
1885         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
1886         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1887         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1888
1889         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1890
1891         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1892
1893         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
1894         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1895         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
1896         an alist.
1897
1898         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1899
1900         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1901         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1902         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1903         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1904         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1905         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1906         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1907         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1908         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1909         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1910         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
1911
1912         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1913
1914         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1915         peeked from the stream.
1916         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1917         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1918         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1919
1920         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1921
1922         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1923         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1924
1925         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1926
1927         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1928         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
1929         exiting repl with single control-D.
1930
1931         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1932
1933         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1934         error catching loop after quit received.
1935         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1936
1937         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1938         primitive exit if non-interactive.
1939         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1940
1941         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1942         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1943         boot-9.scm.
1944         * popen.scm: new file.
1945
1946 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1947
1948        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
1949        (reverse-iota):  removed.
1950
1951 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1952
1953         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1954         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1955
1956 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1957
1958         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1959         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1960         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1961         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1962         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1963
1964 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1965
1966         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1967
1968         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1969         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1970
1971         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1972         Guile's module system.
1973
1974         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1975         changes:
1976         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1977         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1978         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1979         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
1980         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1981         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1982         modern CL behavior.
1983         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1984         '() when the condition is false.
1985
1986 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1987
1988         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1989
1990 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1991
1992         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1993
1994 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1995
1996         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1997         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1998         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1999
2000 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2001
2002         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2003         argument order for hash-fold.
2004
2005 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2006
2007         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
2008         resolve-module.
2009         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2010         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2011
2012         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2013         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2014         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2015         has been added to the load path).
2016
2017         Use try-load-module.
2018
2019 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2020
2021         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
2022         module between system and user state.
2023
2024 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2025
2026         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2027
2028         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2029         definition.
2030
2031 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2032
2033         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2034         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2035         system can create a wrapper class for it.
2036
2037 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2038
2039         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2040         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
2041         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2042         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2043         stack frame encountered.
2044
2045         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2046         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2047         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2048         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2049         list).]
2050
2051         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2052         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2053         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2054         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2055         please tell me!]
2056
2057         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2058         define-module switches:
2059
2060         (define-module (foo)
2061           :no-backtrace)
2062
2063         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2064         modules.
2065
2066         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2067         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2068         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2069         module it is a system frame.
2070
2071         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2072         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2073         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2074         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2075         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2076
2077         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2078         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
2079         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2080         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2081         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
2082         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2083
2084         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2085         status of a module.;
2086         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2087         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2088
2089         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2090         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2091         closure to the module.
2092
2093         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2094
2095 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2096
2097         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
2098
2099 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2100
2101         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
2102
2103 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2104
2105         Fix from Russ McManus:
2106         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2107         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2108         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2109         either an optional or required value.
2110
2111 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2112
2113         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2114
2115         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2116         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2117
2118         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2119         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2120         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2121         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2122
2123 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2124
2125         * optargs.scm: New file.
2126         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2127         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2128
2129 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2130
2131         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2132         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2133         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2134
2135 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2136
2137         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2138         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2139         for isn't loaded.
2140
2141 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2142
2143         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2144
2145 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2146
2147         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2148         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2149         applied to the module itself.
2150
2151 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2152
2153         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2154
2155         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2156         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2157
2158 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2159
2160         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2161
2162 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2163
2164         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2165
2166 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2167
2168         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2169         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2170
2171 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2172
2173         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2174         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2175         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2176         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2177         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2178         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2179         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2180
2181 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2182
2183         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2184         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2185
2186 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2187
2188         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2189         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2190         static libraries.
2191
2192 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2193
2194         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2195
2196 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2197
2198         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2199
2200 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2201
2202         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2203         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2204         adapt to the new hooks.
2205
2206 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2207
2208         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2209         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2210         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2211         code.
2212         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2213         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2214
2215         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2216         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2217         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2218         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2219         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2220         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2221         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2222         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2223         first to register linked modules.
2224
2225         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2226         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2227         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2228
2229         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2230         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2231         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2232         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2233
2234         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2235         to use from C:
2236         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2237         libguile/feature.c.
2238
2239         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2240         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2241         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2242
2243 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2244
2245         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2246         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2247         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2248
2249 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2250
2251         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2252         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2253         result of the last form.
2254
2255 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2256
2257         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2258         syncase.scm.
2259
2260         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2261
2262         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2263         readline-set!: New options interface.
2264
2265         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2266
2267 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2268
2269         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2270         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2271
2272 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2273
2274         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2275         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2276
2277 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2278
2279         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2280         interactive session.
2281         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2282
2283         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2284         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2285
2286 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2287
2288         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2289
2290 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2291
2292         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2293         read line was empty.
2294
2295 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2296
2297         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2298         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2299
2300         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2301
2302         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2303         problem.  Duh.
2304         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2305         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2306         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2307
2308         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2309         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2310         into...
2311         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2312         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2313         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2314
2315         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2316         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2317         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2318         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2319         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2320         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2321         psyntax.ss.
2322         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2323
2324         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2325         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2326
2327 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2328
2329         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2330         and short vectors #h(...).
2331
2332 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2333
2334         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2335         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2336         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2337
2338 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2339
2340         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2341         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2342         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2343
2344 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2345
2346         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2347         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2348
2349         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2350         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2351         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2352         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2353
2354 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2355
2356         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2357         trace flag.
2358
2359         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2360         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2361         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2362         context with traps enabled.
2363
2364 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2365
2366         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2367         module.
2368         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2369
2370 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2371
2372         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2373         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2374         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2375         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2376         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2377
2378 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2379
2380         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2381         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2382
2383 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2384
2385         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2386
2387 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2388
2389         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2390
2391 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2392
2393         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2394
2395 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2396
2397         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2398         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2399
2400 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2401
2402         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2403         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2404         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2405         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
2406         Archibald.)
2407
2408         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2409         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2410         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2411
2412 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2413
2414         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2415         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2416         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2417         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
2418         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2419         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2420         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2421
2422 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2423
2424         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2425
2426 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2427
2428         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2429         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2430         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
2431         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2432         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2433         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2434
2435 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2436
2437         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2438         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2439         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
2440         Steven G. Johnson.)
2441
2442 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2443
2444         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2445
2446 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2447
2448         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2449
2450 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2451
2452         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2453         be completed.
2454
2455 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2456
2457         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2458
2459 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2460
2461         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2462         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2463
2464 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2465
2466         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2467         similar in use to `use-modules'.
2468         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2469         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2470         transformer.
2471         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2472         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2473
2474 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2475
2476         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2477
2478 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2479
2480         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2481         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2482         completion.
2483
2484         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2485         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2486
2487         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2488         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2489         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2490
2491         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2492
2493 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2494
2495         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2496
2497         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2498         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2499
2500 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2501
2502         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2503
2504 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2505
2506         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
2507         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2508
2509         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2510
2511         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
2512         obsolete.
2513
2514 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2515
2516         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2517         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2518
2519 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2520
2521         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2522
2523 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2524
2525         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
2526         Stachowiak.)
2527
2528 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2529
2530         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2531         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
2532         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2533         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2534         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2535         threads.
2536
2537 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2538
2539         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2540         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2541         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2542
2543 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2544
2545         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2546
2547         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2548         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2549
2550 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2551
2552         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2553         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2554         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2555         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2556         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
2557         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2558         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2559         to go here.
2560
2561 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2562
2563         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2564         is now a fluid.
2565
2566 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2567
2568         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2569         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2570         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
2571         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
2572         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2573         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2574
2575 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2576
2577         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more

2581
2582         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2583         neighborhood of the record code.
2584
2585 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2586
2587         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
2588         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2589         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2590         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2591
2592 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2593
2594         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2595         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2596         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2597
2598 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2599
2600         Add support for readline function.
2601         * readline.scm: New module.
2602         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2603         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2604         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2605         anything.
2606         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2607         repl-reader to use them.
2608         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2609
2610         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2611
2612 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2613
2614         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2615         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2616
2617 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2618
2619         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2620         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2621         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2622
2623 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2624
2625         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
2626         #f, abort terminates the process.
2627         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2628         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
2629
2630 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2631
2632         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2633         print-state, throw it away.
2634
2635 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2636
2637         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2638         `0'.

2640 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2641
2642         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2643         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2644         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2645         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2646         user field).
2647         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2648         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2649
2650 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2651
2652         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2653

2655
2656         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2657         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2658         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2659         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2660         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2661         boot-9.scm.
2662         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2663         distribution and installation.
2664         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2669
2670 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2671
2672         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2673         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
2674         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2675
2676         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2677         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2678         symbol.
2679
2680 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2689         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2690         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2691         field a separate argument.
2692
2693         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2694
2695 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2696
2697         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2698
2699         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

2708
2709         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2710         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2711         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2712         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2713         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
2714         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2715         registered.
2716         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2717         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2718         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2719         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2720         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2721         link a .so-file.

2733
2734         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2735
2736         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2737         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2738         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
2739         expansion inside the slib module.
2740
2741         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

2749         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2750
2751         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2752         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2753         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2754         source.
2755         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2756         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2757         been loaded.
2758
2759 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

2766         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

2768         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
2769         mutator for module-associated transformer.
2770         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
2771         `scm:eval-transformer'.
2772         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
2773         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
2774         module.
2775         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
2776
2777 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2778
2779         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2780
2781         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2782         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2783         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2784         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2785         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2786
2787         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2788         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2789         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2790         syncase macros.
2791         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2792         the syncase interface.
2793
2794 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2795
2796         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2797         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2798         workings of the current module system).
2799
2800 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2801
2802         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2803         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
2804         off!
2805

2811
2812 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2813
2814         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2815         according to the following priorities:
2816         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2817         2. bindings from the-scm-module
2818         3. tcl bindings
2819         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2820         disabling the scheme interpreter.
2821         (new-interpreter): New function.
2822
2823         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2824         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2825         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

2842
2843         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2844         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
2845         source!
2846

2854         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
2855         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2856         in stack-ref).
2857
2858         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2859         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2860         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2861         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2862         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2863         result protocol;

2878
2879         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2880         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2881         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2882
2883         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
2884

2900
2901         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2902         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2903         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2904
2905         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2906         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2907         the top.
2908
2909         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2910         order to narrow it correctly.

2923
2924         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2925         builtin `with-fluids*'.
2926
2927 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2928
2929         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2930         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
2931         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2932
2933 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2934
2935         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces

2939
2940         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
2941         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
2942         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
2943         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
2944         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
2945
2946 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2947
2948         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
2949         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
2950         a default of /.
2951
2952         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
2953
2954 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2955
2956         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
2957         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
2958         notation, instead of #/ notation.
2959
2960         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
2961         make-regexp.
2962
2963 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2964
2965         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2966         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2967         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
2968         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2969         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2970         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2971
2972         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2973         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2974         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2975         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2976
2977 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2978
2979         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2980         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
2981         sending in bug reports.
2982         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2983         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2984         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2985         display a warning if the two are different.
2986         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2987         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2988         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2989
2990 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2991
2992         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
2993
2994 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2995
2996         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2997         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2998
2999         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3000         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3001         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3002         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3003         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3004         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3005         that's okay.
3006
3007         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
3008         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3009         regexp interface.
3010
3011         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3012         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
3013
3014         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3015         function names.
3016
3017         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3018         fixes.
3019
3020 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3021
3022         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3023         ../configure.in.
3024
3025 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3026
3027         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3028         vtable and not the one of the struct.
3029
3030 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3031
3032         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3033         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3034         to support printing of structures.
3035         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3036         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
3037         commented out printing code.
3038         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3039         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
3040
3041 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3042
3043         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3044
3045 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3046
3047         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3048         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3049         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3050         during call to scm-style-repl.
3051
3052 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3053
3054         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3055         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3056         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3057         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3058         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3059
3060 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3061
3062         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3063         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3064         (ice-9 regex).
3065
3066 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3067
3068         * regex.scm: New file.
3069         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3070         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3071
3072 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3073
3074         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

3082         in 1997.
3083
3084 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3085
3086         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3087         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3088         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3089
3090 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3091
3092         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3093         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3094         here.
3095
3096 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3097
3098         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3099

3105
3106         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3107         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3108         fixes this too.
3109
3110 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3111
3112         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3113         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3114         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3115
3116 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3117
3118         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3119         the Scheme code like code yet.
3120         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3121
3122 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3123
3124         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3125         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3126         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3127
3128 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3129
3130         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3131         use-modules macro
3132         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3133         can't be found.
3134
3135 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3136
3137         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3138
3139 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3140
3141         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3142
3143         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3144         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3145         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3146

3154         no plugins.
3155         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3156         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

3164
3165         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.

3168
3169         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3170         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).

3173
3174         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3175         instead of in libguile.
3176         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3177         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3178
3179 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3180
3181         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3182         procedures.

3187
3188         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3189         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3190
3191 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3192
3193         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3194         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3195         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3196         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3197

3210         keywords and symbols.
3211
3212 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

3232         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.

3235
3236         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3237
3238 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3239
3240         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3241
3242 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3243
3244         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3245         read gets EOF.
3246         * (exit): alias for quit.
3247
3248 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3249
3250         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3251         return the quit args.
3252         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3253         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.

3255
3256         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3257

3264
3265         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3266         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3267
3268         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3269         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3270         of handlers.
3271
3272 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3273
3274         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3275
3276         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3277         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3278         Change hooks to use these functions.
3279
3280         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3281         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3282         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3283         the source! :-)
3284         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3285         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3286         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3287         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3288         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3289         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3290         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3291         traced.
3292
3293         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3294         and exit-frame exceptions.
3295
3296         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3297         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3298         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3299         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3300         result; otherwise display "> ".
3301         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3302
3303         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3304         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3305         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3306         repository version runnable.
3307
3308 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3309
3310         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3311         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3312         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3313         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3314         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3315         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3316
3317 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3318
3319         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3320         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3321         and eval.
3322         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3323         "defined?".
3324         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3325         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3326
3327 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3328
3329         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3330
3331 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3332
3333         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3334         %read-sharp layer.
3335
3336 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3337
3338         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3339         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3340
3341 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3342
3343         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3344         backtrace.c.)
3345
3346 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3347
3348         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3349         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3350
3351 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3352
3353         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3354
3355         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3356         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3357         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3358         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3359         dynamic linking of modules.
3360         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3361         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3362
3363 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3364
3365         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3366
3367 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3368
3369         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3370         that's what it is.
3371
3372         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3373         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3374         was false.
3375
3376 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3377
3378         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3379         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3380         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3381
3382 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3383
3384         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3385         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
3386         yet.
3387
3388 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3389
3390         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3391         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3392         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3393
3394 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3395
3396         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3397         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3398         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3399         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3400
3401         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3402         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3403         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3404         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3405         (such as the-scm-module).
3406
3407 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3408
3409         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3410         %search-load-path.
3411
3412 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
3413
3414         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3415         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3416         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3417
3418 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3419
3420         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3421         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3422         function, use it accordingly.
3423
3424 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3425
3426         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
3427         function of no arguments.
3428         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3429         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3430         set-current-module): Uses changed.
3431         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3432         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3433         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3434         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3435         *top-level-eval-closure*.
3436
3437 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3438
3439         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3440         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3441
3442 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3443
3444         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3445         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3446         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
3447         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
3448         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3449
3450         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3451         `*features*'.
3452
3453         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3454         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
3455         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3456         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3457
3458         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3459
3460         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3461
3462         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3463         If the user wants to see this, he can do
3464         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3465
3466         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3467         error.
3468
3469         Added `before-read-hook'.
3470
3471         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3472
3473         (provide): New function.
3474
3475         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3476         in backtraces.
3477
3478         (backtrace): New function.
3479
3480         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3481         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3482         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
3483         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3484         is found in operator position in a frame.
3485
3486         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3487         by default.
3488
3489         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3490         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3491         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3492
3493         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
3494
3495         (library-vicinity): Updated.
3496
3497         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3498
3499         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3500
3501 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3502
3503         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3504
3505         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3506         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
3507
3508         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3509         so they'll get distributed.
3510
3511         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
3512         should see as little clutter as possible.
3513         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3514         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3515         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3516
3517         * r4rs.scm: New file.
3518         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3519         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3520         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3521         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3522         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3523         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3524         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3525         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3526         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3527         that are not.
3528         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3529         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3530
3531         * test.scm: New file.
3532
3533         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3534         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
3535         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3536
3537         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3538         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3539
3540         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3541         work now.
3542         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
3543         call %load-announce.
3544
3545 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3546
3547         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3548         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3549         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3550         components.
3551         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3552
3553 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3554
3555         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3556         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3557         SCSH (which this isn't).
3558
3559 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3560
3561         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3562
3563 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3564
3565         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3566         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3567         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3568         these.
3569         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
3570         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
3571         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3572         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3573         save-stack.
3574
3575 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3576
3577         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3578
3579         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3580
3581         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3582         error-catching-loop.
3583         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3584         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3585         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3586
3587         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3588         error-catching-loop.
3589
3590 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3591
3592         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3593         (make-module): Rework for readability.
3594         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3595         should be '(), not #f.
3596
3597         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3598         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3599
3600 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3601
3602         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3603         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3604         error-signal.
3605

3608         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3609         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3610         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3611         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.

3613 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3614
3615         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3616
3617 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3618
3619         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3620
3621         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3622         throw-handler-default.
3623         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3624         reported.
3625         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3626         acro.
3627         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3628         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.

3630 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3631
3632         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3633         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3634         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3635         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3636

3638
3639         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3640         Append "." to the default %load-path.
3641         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3642         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3643         ...))
3644         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3645         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3646         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3647         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3648         file-is-directory?
3649
3650 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3651
3652         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3653
3654         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3655         distribution.
3656
3657         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3658         `switch-repl'.
3659
3660         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3661
3662 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3663
3664         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3665         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3666
3667 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3668
3669         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3670
3671         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3672
3673 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3674
3675         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
3676         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3677         Don't set up 'error as a key.
3678         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3679         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3680
3681         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3682         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3683         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3684         they seem redundant.
3685         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3686         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
3687         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3688         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
3689         directly files starting with "/").
3690         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3691         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3692
3693         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3694
3695 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3696
3697         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3698         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3699         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
3700         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3701         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3702         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3703         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
3704         robust to just do it in the C code.
3705
3706 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3707
3708         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
3709         %try-load itself was the primitive.
3710         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3711         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3712         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3713
3714 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3715
3716         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3717         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3718         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3719
3720 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3721
3722         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3723         system-error, not every kind of error.
3724         (scm-error): new procedure.
3725
3726 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3727
3728         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3729
3730 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3731
3732         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3733         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
3734         of args are supplied.
3735         (%%system-errors): removed.
3736         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3737         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3738         %%handle-system-error.
3739         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3740         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3741         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3742         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3743
3744 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3745
3746         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3747         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3748         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3749         %S (embed an argument using "write").
3750
3751 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3752
3753         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3754         the empty list if they are #f.
3755         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3756
3757 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3758
3759         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3760
3761         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3762         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3763         aborting, just the key and subr.
3764         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3765         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3766         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
3767
3768 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3769
3770         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3771         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
3772         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3773         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3774         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
3775
3776 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3777
3778         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
3779         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
3780         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
3781         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
3782
3783 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3784
3785         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
3786         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
3787         initialize %load-path.
3788
3789         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3790         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
3791
3792 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3793
3794         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3795         Add the directory named after the version number.
3796         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
3797         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
3798         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
3799         sitedatadir): New definitions.

3806
3807         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3808         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3809         in the Makefile directly.
3810         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3811         for these.
3812         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and

3825
3826         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->

3850         (manifest): Deleted.
3851         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

3853
3854 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3855

3860

3862
3863         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
