1 2004-08-25 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3 * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Give #t for an empty body, per srfi-2
4 spec, previously came out as an empty (begin).
6 2004-08-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
8 * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Added srfi-13 and srfi-14.
10 2004-08-20 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
12 * debugger/utils.scm (display-source): Use unmemoize-expr instead
14 (write-frame-short/expression): Likewise.
16 2004-08-18 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
18 * and-let-star.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-2, since this module
19 provides that feature.
20 * receive.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-8, since this module
21 provides that feature.
23 2004-08-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
25 From Matthias Koeppe. Thanks!
27 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): In the local procedure `wr', use
28 object->string to print all data (except for the reader macros),
29 rather than implementing an own printer. The user-visible
30 difference is that procedures and control characters like #\tab
31 are now printed in the same way as by `write'.
33 2004-08-09 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
35 * slib.scm (*features*): Remove array and array-for-each, core
36 definitions are insufficient for latest slib.
37 (t, nil): New constants slib says are supposed to exist.
38 (call-with-open-ports, browse-url): New functions for latest slib.
39 Implementations taken from Template.scm (public domain).
40 (open-file): Extend core definition to accept symbols for the mode,
41 required by latest slib.
42 (delete-file): Replace core definition with version returning #t/#f as
44 (system): Mark as #:replace to suppress override warning, use new
45 style "(@ (guile) system)" to call core function.
47 2004-05-25 Matthias Koeppe <mkoeppe@mail.math.uni-magdeburg.de>
49 * format.scm: Remove the arbitrary limit of 100 iterations for the
50 ~{...~} control structure.
52 2004-07-10 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
54 * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Remove unused variable "val".
55 * pretty-print.scm (read-macro-prefix): Remove unused variable "tail".
57 * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Add srfi-6 which is in the core.
59 * safe-r5rs.scm (re-export): Uncomment numerator, denominator,
60 rationalize, since they now exist.
62 2004-07-05 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
64 * slib.scm (system): Correction to redefinition, now guile is stricter
65 about when a define binding comes into existance.
67 2004-05-29 Dirk Herrmann <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
69 * boot-9.scm: Reordered definitions such that macro definitions
70 preceed their first usage. Include and define deprecated stuff
71 late in the file to have a better change of detecting accidental
72 uses of deprecated definitions. Further, unified the layout a
73 little and grouped definitions more cleanly into topics.
75 2004-05-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
77 * history.scm (use-value-history): Use resolve-interface instead
78 of resolve-module so that only the exported bindings are searched.
79 (save-value-history): Export the newly defined variable. Reported
80 by Wolfgang Jaehrling.
82 2004-05-04 Dirk Herrmann <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
84 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): Always start searching from the
85 root module. This will allow the C equivalent scm_resolve_module
86 to work, independent of what the current module is.
88 2004-02-18 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
90 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Make the (guile-user) module use the
93 2004-02-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
95 * boot-9.scm (module-map): Renamed hash-map -> hash-map->list.
97 2004-02-09 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
99 * debugger/trap-hooks.scm (debug-hook-membership): New, exported.
101 * debugger/commands.scm (debug-trap-hooks): New, exported.
103 2004-02-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
105 * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES),
106 debugger/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES), Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES): Use
107 this variable instead of ETAGS_ARGS so that TAGS can be built
108 using separate build directory.
110 2004-01-20 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
112 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Back out 2003-11-19 change to
113 lazy-handler-dispatch lookup.
115 2004-01-12 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
117 * mapping.scm: Use '#:' prefix for keywords instead of ':'.
118 Thanks to Richard Todd!
120 2004-01-11 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
122 * slib.scm (system): New function, giving an exit code return in
123 accordance with slib spec.
125 Revert this, it breaks test-suite/tests/r5rs_pitfalls.test where
126 false-if-exception is used within syntax-rules. (Suspect syntax-rules
127 ought to support this sort of thing, but it doesn't right now.)
128 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
129 to depend on expansion environment.
131 2004-01-07 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
133 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): Use with-fluid* when only one fluid is
136 2004-01-07 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
138 * q.scm (q-pop!): Should be "null?" not "not" for end-of-list.
139 Reported by Richard Todd.
141 2004-01-04 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
143 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
144 to depend on expansion environment.
146 * slib.scm (-1+, <?, <=?, =?, >?, >=?): Define as aliases for 1-, <,
147 <=, =, >, >= respectively, required by slib 'rev2-procedures but no
148 longer in the guile core.
150 2003-11-19 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
152 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Defer lookup of
153 lazy-handler-dispatch.

159 2003-11-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
161 * boot-9.scm: Started comment about module system workings.
163 2003-11-11 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
165 * debugger.scm: Change ui-* calls to gds-*.
166 (debug-on-error): Debug if throw key is in specified syms, not if
167 it isn't! Also throw 'abort after debugging, so as to skip the
170 * debugger/behaviour.scm (*trap*): New variable, stores trap type.
171 (before-enter-frame-hook, before-apply-frame-hook,
172 before-exit-frame-hook): Set here.

185 debug immediately on connection.
186 (ui-eval): Handle exceptions during read and evaluation.
188 * debugger.scm (debug-on-error, default-default-lazy-handler):
189 Remove an unnecessary level of indirection in calling lazy
192 2003-10-12 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
194 * ftw.scm (directory-files): Close dir-stream when done. Thanks
197 2003-10-09 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
199 * poe.scm (funcq-assoc): Rewrite, don't assume '() is false, and
200 actually traverse the given alist.
202 2003-10-06 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
204 * debugger/ui-client.scm (handle-instruction): Add evaluation
208 2003-10-04 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
210 * debugger/ui-client.scm (ui-disable-async-thread,
211 ui-continue-async-thread, start-async-ui-thread): New.
212 (ui-command-loop): Call ui-disable-async-thread and
213 ui-continue-async-thread.
214 (handle-instruction): Read terminating newline char so it doesn't
215 cause following select to pop immediately.
217 2003-09-25 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
219 * debugger/ui-client.scm, debugger/ui-server.scm: New (work in
220 progress on new debugging front end).
222 2003-09-24 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
224 * debugger.scm (default-default-lazy-handler, debug-on-error):
227 * debugger/behaviour.scm (debug-if-flag-set): Display debug entry
228 messages through (debugger-output-port).
229 (after-exit-frame-hook): Trace through (debugger-output-port).
230 (trace-here): Trace through (debugger-output-port).

246 2003-09-13 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
248 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?): Use stat rather than access?, so as to
249 follow the effective UID/GID not the real ID. file-exists? is
250 normally used as a prelude to opening or some other operation, and
251 it's the effective ID which will apply there. Emacs file-exists-p
252 uses stat, presumably for the the same reason.
254 2003-09-12 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
256 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Use a proper hashtable as
257 the obarray, not an empty vector.
258 (make-module): Always construct a hashtable for the obarray, even
261 * format.scm (format:error): Use 'format:format' instead of
262 'format' since the latter will lock the mutex again that we have
264 (format:format-work): Flag multiple '#' as an error.
266 2003-08-17 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
268 * boot-9.scm (while): Use a new key dynamically for each loop, so
269 break and continue associate to their loop even when recursing.
271 2003-08-14 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
273 * boot-9.scm (while): Rewrite, continue as proper escape, break
274 without return value, break and continue new for each while form,
275 don't depend on bindings in expansion environment.
277 * popen.scm (open-process): Close input-fdes, output-fdes and
278 error-fdes after duping them to 0, 1 and 2.
280 2003-06-19 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
282 * threads.scm (parallel): For no forms, use `(values)' not `(begin)'.

301 instead of substring-move-left! or substring-move-right!. Thanks
304 * deprecated.scm (substring-move-left!, substring-move-right!):
307 * boot-9.scm (display-usage-report): Use keyword->symbol instead
308 of keyword-symbol, which doesn't exist. Thanks to Kevin Ryde.
310 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-get-handle): Pass only the expected four
311 arguments to hashx-get-handle. Thanks to Kevin Ryde!
313 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port) Pass 0 as second
314 argument to string-ref. Thanks to Kevin Ryde!
316 2003-04-25 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
318 * serialize.scm: New file.
320 2003-04-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
322 * threads.scm (n-for-each-par-map): New procedure.

344 2003-03-19 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
346 * format.scm (format:out-substr): Update the column counter
347 correctly. This fixes the behavior of ~T (tabbing) after ~F, for
348 instance. Thanks to Matthias Koeppe!
350 2003-03-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
352 * session.scm (apropos): Don't look in duplicates interface.
354 2003-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
356 * boot-9.scm (duplicate-handlers): Make sure the merge-generics
357 and merge-accessors handlers are available also before (oop goops)
358 has been loaded. This is so that people can put them as default
359 handlers without worrying about availability.

443 (since the size now adapts).

462 expression before trying to treat it as a Guile macro call.
463 (Thanks to Kevin Ryde.)

490 in output. (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be

570 * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax): Re-introduced after accidentally
571 removing it in my patch from 2002-11-16.
573 2002-11-24 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
575 Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
578 * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
580 (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
583 * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16

588 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
589 has been removed from the core.

596 'real' macro definitions.
598 2002-11-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
600 * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):

606 Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
608 2002-11-07 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
610 * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly. Not the definition

635 it is not thread-safe.
637 2002-10-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
639 * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'. This
640 value will be returned by join-thread.
642 2002-10-26 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

683 should be unnecessary now.
685 2002-10-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
687 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in

792 * boot-9.scm: Comment grammar fixes; nfc.
793 Thanks to Christopher Cramer.
795 2002-02-24 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
797 * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
798 properties. This is in preparation for changing the future public
799 gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
801 * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.
803 2002-02-07 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@giblet.glug.org>

807 2002-02-05 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@giblet.glug.org>

811 (psyntax.pp): Use $(preinstguile).
813 2002-01-14 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
815 * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
816 datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
817 syntax-object, is an identifier. This was a unconvenient and
818 unnecessary restriction. Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
820 2002-01-12 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
822 More options for pretty-print. Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
824 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
825 (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
826 used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
828 2001-11-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
830 * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have

848 channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,

852 safe.scm, session.scm, slib.scm, streams.scm, string-fun.scm,
853 syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
854 `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
855 into the `define-module' form. This is the recommended way of
858 2001-10-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
860 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
863 2001-10-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
865 * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
866 of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
867 the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
868 interfering with parsing of numbers.)
870 2001-10-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
872 * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
873 %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,
874 %%apropos-internal): Use module-define! instead of

895 the `arglist' procedure property.
896 * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to

903 * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
904 bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option. Thanks to Daniel
907 2001-08-31 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
909 * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
911 (feature?): Deprecated.
913 (id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags,
914 eval-in-module, split-c-module-name,

920 try-module-dynamic-link): Removed.
922 (module-make-local-var!, module-ensure-local-variable!,

929 needed to trick export.
931 2001-08-31 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
933 * optargs.scm: Remove #& reader extension.
935 2001-08-31 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
937 * and-let-star-compat.scm: Deleted.
939 * Makefile.am: Remove references to and-let-star-compat.scm.
941 2001-08-30 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
943 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
944 interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
945 not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
947 2001-08-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
949 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
950 interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
952 2001-08-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
954 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".
956 2001-08-12 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
958 * getopt-long.scm: Rewrite.
962 2001-08-02 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
964 * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
965 last-command fluid is not yet set.
967 2001-08-02 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
969 * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
971 (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
972 value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
973 next element is to be taken as the option arg.
975 2001-07-31 Keisuke Nishida <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
977 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
978 handle :use-syntax correctly.
980 2001-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
982 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
985 2001-07-23 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
987 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
988 maintainer mode. Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
989 Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
990 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
991 * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
993 2001-07-18 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
995 * and-let-star.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm, history.scm,
996 lineio.scm, null.scm, optargs.scm, r4rs.scm, r5rs.scm,
997 receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
999 2001-07-17 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1001 * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
1002 primitives. Thanks Neil!
1004 2001-07-13 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1006 * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
1007 re-exported core bindings. Do not re-export `numerator',
1008 `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
1009 Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
1011 * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
1012 core bindings. Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
1013 since there aren't definitions for them.
1015 * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
1016 argument is "renamer" not "rename".
1018 2001-07-09 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1020 * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
1021 is #f. Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
1023 2001-07-06 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1025 * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
1026 extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
1028 2001-06-30 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1030 * arrays.scm: Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b': #b
1031 is already defined by R5RS. Further, there is already a working
1032 read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
1034 2001-06-30 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1036 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
1038 * tags.scm: Removed file.
1040 2001-06-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1042 Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
1043 is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
1045 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
1046 whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
1047 (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
1050 2001-06-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1052 * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
1053 was a cut-n-paste error previously.
1055 2001-06-26 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1057 * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
1058 Don't reset trace-level to 0.
1060 * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
1061 apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler. (They're replaced by
1062 evaluator trap options.)
1064 2001-06-25 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1066 * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.
1068 2001-06-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1070 * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax): New.
1072 2001-06-16 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1074 * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
1076 2001-06-14 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1078 * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
1079 `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
1081 2001-06-13 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1084 No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
1085 Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
1086 No longer require `pretty-print'.
1088 (slib:error): Delete.
1089 (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
1091 Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
1096 Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
1100 2001-06-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1102 * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
1103 `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
1104 rdelim) module. See below.
1106 2001-06-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1108 * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
1109 include-deprecated-features is true.
1111 2001-06-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1113 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
1116 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
1117 real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
1118 Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1120 * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
1121 (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
1122 `port', if it has one. Else leave it alone. Thanks to Matthias
1125 2001-06-05 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1127 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
1128 `module-ensure-variable!'. Make sure that there really is a local
1129 variable, not just a visible one.
1130 (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
1131 (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
1132 enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable. When
1133 deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
1134 creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
1135 (module-re-export!): New. Use this for re-exporting imported
1137 (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
1139 * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
1140 re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
1142 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1144 * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
1145 instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
1147 2001-06-04 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1149 * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
1151 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1153 Added exception notice to all files.
1155 * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change. It
1156 caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
1157 importing bindings once in a while.
1159 2001-06-03 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1161 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
1162 and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
1163 (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1164 registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
1165 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
1166 find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
1167 try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
1168 try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated. Activate deprecation
1170 (define-public): Define binding before exporting it. This is to
1171 avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
1173 2001-06-02 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1175 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
1176 fix command so that it works.
1178 * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
1179 to access unbound variables.
1181 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
1182 (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
1183 export. Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
1184 the value over, and export the new variable. This confused
1185 syncase since it keys important properties on variables.

1328 set-current-module. It is redefined later.

1699 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
1700 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
1701 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1702 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1703 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1704 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith

1726 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1728 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
1729 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
1730 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
1731 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
1732 split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
1733 split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
1734 split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1735 split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
1736 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
1737 string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
1738 sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
1739 sans-final-newline): Use substring instead of
1740 make-shared-substring.
1742 2000-11-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1744 * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1745 removed. values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1746 the other two were only exported by accident. don't define
1747 *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1750 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1752 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
1753 and open-output-pipe.
1755 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1757 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1758 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1759 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
1760 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
1761 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1762 Pirotte for the bug report).
1763 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1764 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
1766 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1768 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.
1769 Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.
1771 2000-10-15 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1773 * optargs.scm: Fix typos in commentary for bound? and lambda*.
1775 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1777 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): regexp-exec does not
1778 accept symbol arguments any more. Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
1781 2000-09-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1783 * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f. thanks to
1786 2000-09-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1788 * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1789 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1790 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1792 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1793 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1794 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1795 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1796 actual documentation entries themselves.
1798 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1800 * boot-9.scm: Removed comment. (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
1802 2000-09-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1804 * syncase.scm (putprop): Use the high-level property interface.
1806 2000-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1808 * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
1809 Convert first argument to a string.
1811 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
1812 getter-and-setter-syntax,
1813 delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
1814 argument. (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
1816 * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
1818 * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
1820 2000-08-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1822 * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
1824 2000-08-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1826 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
1828 (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1830 (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed. I don't
1831 think I'll announce this in NEWS even. One of the functions never
1832 even worked... /mdj.
1833 (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1835 (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1838 2000-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1840 * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
1843 2000-08-19 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

1854 * optargs.scm: Replaced `#&' reader syntax with keywords.
1856 2000-08-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1858 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive. (Thanks to
1861 2000-08-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1863 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1864 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
1865 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1866 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1867 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1869 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1871 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1873 * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition. (Is now
1874 provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1876 * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1879 * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1880 record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1881 (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto. (This is actually a bugfix!)
1882 (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1884 * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
1886 * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
1887 (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
1889 * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
1891 * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1892 (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1894 2000-08-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1896 * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1897 definition of module-type.
1899 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1901 * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1903 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1905 (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1906 *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1908 2000-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1910 * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to thi!
1912 2000-07-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1914 * boot-9.scm (expt): In case of negative integer exponents return
1915 an exact result if the input paramters were exact. Thanks to
1916 Mikael for the suggestion.
1918 2000-07-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1920 * boot-9.scm (expt): Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1921 if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1923 2000-07-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1925 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1928 2000-06-27 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1930 * popen.scm: gc-thunk is deprecated. Use after-gc-hook instead.
1932 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1934 * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1935 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber
1938 (delete-if!, delete-if-not!): Renamed parameter from `list' to
1939 `l' in order to avoid confusion. Note: These functions are not
1942 2000-06-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1944 * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1945 and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1947 * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1948 (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1949 (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1951 (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1953 * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1955 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1957 * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1958 module graph. (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1960 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1962 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1963 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1965 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1967 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
1968 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1970 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1972 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1974 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1976 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1978 2000-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

1982 (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1983 (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1985 (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1987 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1990 * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1991 (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1992 (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1993 (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1996 * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1998 * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
2000 2000-06-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2002 * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
2003 (write-all): Removed.
2004 (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'. Return
2005 documentation string instead of printing it. Not exported.
2007 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
2009 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
2010 `proc-documentation'
2012 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
2013 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
2014 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
2015 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
2016 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
2017 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
2018 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
2021 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2023 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
2025 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2027 * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
2028 anonymous. Now needed in modules.c.
2029 (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
2032 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
2034 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
2035 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
2036 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
2037 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
2038 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
2039 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
2040 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
2042 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2044 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
2045 accept complex numbers as parameter.
2047 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2049 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
2050 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
2052 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2054 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
2055 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
2056 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
2057 instead of remove-if when iterating.
2058 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
2059 delete-if! when iterating.
2061 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2063 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
2065 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2067 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
2069 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
2071 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
2072 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
2073 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
2074 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
2076 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
2078 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
2079 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
2081 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2083 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
2084 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
2085 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
2086 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
2088 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
2090 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
2091 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
2093 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2095 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
2096 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
2098 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2100 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
2103 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2105 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
2106 source of the numerous very short changes.
2108 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2110 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
2113 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
2116 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2118 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
2121 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2123 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
2124 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
2126 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
2128 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
2131 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
2133 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
2134 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
2135 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
2137 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2139 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
2140 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
2141 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
2142 Narazaki for this change.
2144 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2146 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
2147 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
2150 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
2151 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
2153 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2155 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
2156 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
2158 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2160 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
2161 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
2162 use define-public to export from the module.
2164 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2166 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
2167 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
2168 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
2170 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2172 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
2174 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2176 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
2177 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
2179 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2181 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
2183 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
2185 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
2187 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2189 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
2190 long_long uniform vectors.
2192 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2194 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
2195 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
2197 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2199 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
2200 script to create generated files like this one.
2202 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2204 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
2205 available before using getpw and getuid.
2206 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
2207 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
2209 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
2210 check for .guile, instead of stat.
2211 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
2213 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
2214 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
2215 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
2217 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
2218 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
2220 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
2222 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2224 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
2225 than 'exit-debugger.
2227 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
2228 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
2230 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
2232 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2234 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
2235 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
2236 ("position"): New command.
2237 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
2238 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
2239 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
2240 to return a valid state.)
2241 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
2243 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2245 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
2246 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
2249 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2251 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
2252 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
2254 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2256 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
2258 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
2260 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
2261 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
2263 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
2264 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
2265 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
2267 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
2270 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2272 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
2273 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
2275 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
2277 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2279 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
2280 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
2281 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
2282 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
2284 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
2287 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
2288 both forward and backward views of the stack
2289 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
2290 Use selector `frame-number';
2291 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
2292 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
2294 Use readline conditionally.
2296 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2298 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
2299 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
2300 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
2302 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
2303 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
2306 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2308 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
2310 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
2312 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
2314 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2316 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2318 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
2319 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
2320 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
2321 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
2322 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
2323 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
2324 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
2325 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
2326 libguile-config-stamp.
2327 * version.scm.in: Delete.
2328 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
2329 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
2330 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
2331 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
2333 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2335 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
2336 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
2337 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
2339 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
2340 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
2341 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
2342 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
2345 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
2347 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
2349 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
2351 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2353 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
2354 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
2356 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
2358 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
2359 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
2360 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
2361 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
2362 objects starting with '#/'.
2364 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2366 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
2367 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
2368 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
2369 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
2370 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
2371 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
2373 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
2374 module-modified): New procedures.
2375 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
2376 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
2378 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2380 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
2383 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2385 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
2386 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
2387 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2389 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
2392 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2394 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
2395 at multiple calls to read.
2396 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
2397 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
2398 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
2399 continued-lines prompt.
2401 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
2402 reading expressions.
2404 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2406 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
2407 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2409 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2411 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
2412 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
2415 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2417 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
2418 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
2420 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
2421 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
2422 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
2423 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
2424 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
2427 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2429 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
2430 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2432 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
2434 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
2435 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
2436 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
2437 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
2439 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
2441 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2443 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
2444 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
2445 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
2448 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2450 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
2451 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
2452 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
2453 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
2454 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
2455 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2456 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
2457 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
2458 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
2459 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2460 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
2462 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2464 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
2465 peeked from the stream.
2466 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
2467 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
2468 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
2470 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2472 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
2473 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
2475 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2477 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2478 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
2479 exiting repl with single control-D.
2481 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2483 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2484 error catching loop after quit received.
2485 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2487 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2488 primitive exit if non-interactive.
2489 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2491 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2492 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2494 * popen.scm: new file.
2496 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2498 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
2499 (reverse-iota): removed.
2501 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2503 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
2504 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
2506 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2508 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2509 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2510 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2511 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2512 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2514 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2516 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2518 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2519 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2521 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2522 Guile's module system.
2524 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2526 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2527 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2528 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2529 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
2530 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2531 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2533 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2534 '() when the condition is false.
2536 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2538 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2540 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2542 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2544 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2546 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2547 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2548 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2550 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2552 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2553 argument order for hash-fold.
2555 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2557 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
2559 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2560 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2562 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2563 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2564 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2565 has been added to the load path).
2567 Use try-load-module.
2569 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2571 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
2572 module between system and user state.
2574 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2576 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2578 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2581 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2583 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2584 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2585 system can create a wrapper class for it.
2587 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2589 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2590 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
2591 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2592 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2593 stack frame encountered.
2595 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2596 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2597 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2598 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2601 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2602 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2603 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2604 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
2607 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2608 define-module switches:
2610 (define-module (foo)
2613 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2616 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2617 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2618 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
2619 module it is a system frame.
2621 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2622 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2623 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2624 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
2625 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2627 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2628 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
2629 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2630 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2631 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
2632 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2634 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2635 status of a module.;
2636 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2637 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2639 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2640 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2641 closure to the module.
2643 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2645 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2647 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
2649 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2651 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
2653 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2655 Fix from Russ McManus:
2656 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2657 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2658 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2659 either an optional or required value.
2661 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2663 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2665 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2666 of the '() key, not `rest'.
2668 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2669 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2670 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2671 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2673 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2675 * optargs.scm: New file.
2676 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2677 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2679 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2681 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2682 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2683 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2685 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2687 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2688 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2691 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2693 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2695 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2697 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2698 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2699 applied to the module itself.
2701 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2703 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2705 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
2706 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2708 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2710 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2712 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2714 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2716 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
2718 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2719 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2721 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2723 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2724 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2725 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2726 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2727 among BINDINGS is referenced.
2728 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
2729 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2731 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2733 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2734 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2736 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
2738 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2739 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2742 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2744 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2746 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2748 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2750 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2752 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2753 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2754 adapt to the new hooks.
2756 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2758 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2759 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
2760 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2762 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2763 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2765 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2766 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2767 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2768 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2769 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2770 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2771 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2772 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2773 first to register linked modules.
2775 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2776 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2777 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2779 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2780 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2781 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2782 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2784 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2786 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2789 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2790 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2791 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2793 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2795 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2796 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2797 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2799 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2801 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
2802 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2803 result of the last form.
2805 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2807 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2810 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2812 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2813 readline-set!: New options interface.
2815 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2817 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2819 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2820 at the end of boot-9.scm.
2822 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2824 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2825 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2827 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2829 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2830 interactive session.
2831 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2833 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2834 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2836 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2838 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2840 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2842 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2843 read line was empty.
2845 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2847 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2848 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2850 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2852 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2854 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2855 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2856 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2858 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2859 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2861 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2862 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2863 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2865 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2866 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2867 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
2868 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2869 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2870 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2872 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2874 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2875 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2877 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2879 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2880 and short vectors #h(...).
2882 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2884 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2885 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2886 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2888 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2890 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2891 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
2892 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2894 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2896 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2897 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2899 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2900 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
2901 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
2902 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2904 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2906 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2909 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2910 order to allow the empty list as arg.
2911 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2912 context with traps enabled.
2914 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2916 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2918 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2920 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2922 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2923 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2924 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
2925 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2926 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2928 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2930 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2931 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2933 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2935 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2937 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2939 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2941 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2943 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2945 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2947 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2948 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2950 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2952 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2953 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2954 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2955 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
2958 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2959 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2960 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2962 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2964 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2965 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2966 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2967 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
2968 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2969 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2970 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2972 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2974 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2976 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2978 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2979 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2980 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
2981 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2982 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2983 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2985 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2987 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2988 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2989 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
2992 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2994 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2996 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2998 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
3000 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3002 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
3005 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3007 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
3009 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3011 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
3012 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
3014 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3016 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
3017 similar in use to `use-modules'.
3018 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
3019 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
3021 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
3022 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
3024 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3026 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
3028 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3030 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
3031 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
3034 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
3035 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
3037 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
3038 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
3039 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
3041 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
3043 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3045 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
3047 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
3048 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
3050 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3052 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
3054 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3056 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
3057 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
3059 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
3061 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
3064 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3066 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
3067 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
3069 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3071 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
3073 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3075 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
3078 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3080 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
3081 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
3082 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
3083 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
3084 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
3087 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
3089 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
3090 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
3091 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
3093 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
3095 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
3097 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
3098 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
3100 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
3102 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
3103 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
3104 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
3105 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
3106 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
3107 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
3108 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
3111 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3113 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
3116 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
3118 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
3119 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
3120 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
3121 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
3122 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
3123 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
3125 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3127 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
3128 usefully so they will work from a script.
3130 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3132 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
3133 neighborhood of the record code.
3135 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3137 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
3138 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
3139 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
3140 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
3142 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3144 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
3145 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
3146 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3148 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3150 Add support for readline function.
3151 * readline.scm: New module.
3152 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
3153 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
3154 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
3156 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
3157 repl-reader to use them.
3158 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
3160 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
3162 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3164 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3165 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
3167 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3169 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
3170 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
3171 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
3173 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3175 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
3176 #f, abort terminates the process.
3177 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
3178 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
3180 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3182 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
3183 print-state, throw it away.
3185 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3187 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
3190 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3192 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
3193 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
3194 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
3195 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
3197 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
3198 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
3200 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3202 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
3204 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3206 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
3207 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
3208 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
3209 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3210 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
3212 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
3213 distribution and installation.
3214 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3216 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3218 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
3220 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3222 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
3223 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
3224 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
3226 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
3227 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
3230 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3232 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
3234 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
3236 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3238 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
3239 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
3240 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
3241 field a separate argument.
3243 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
3245 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3247 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
3249 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
3253 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3255 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
3257 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3259 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
3260 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
3261 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
3262 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
3263 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
3264 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
3266 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
3267 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
3268 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
3269 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
3270 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
3273 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3275 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
3277 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3279 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
3280 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
3282 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3284 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
3286 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
3287 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
3288 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
3289 expansion inside the slib module.
3291 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
3293 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
3294 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
3295 (let): New core form.
3296 (if): Removed from core language.
3297 (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
3298 (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
3299 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
3301 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
3302 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
3303 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
3305 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
3306 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
3309 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
3311 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
3312 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
3314 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
3316 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

3329 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
3331 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
3332 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
3333 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
3334 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
3335 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
3337 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
3338 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
3339 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
3341 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
3342 the syncase interface.

3346 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
3347 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
3348 workings of the current module system).

3352 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
3353 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

3364 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
3365 according to the following priorities:
3366 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
3367 2. bindings from the-scm-module
3369 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
3370 disabling the scheme interpreter.
3371 (new-interpreter): New function.
3373 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
3374 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
3375 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

3415 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
3417 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3419 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
3420 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
3422 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
3423 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
3425 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
3427 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3429 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling

3449 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3451 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
3452 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
3453 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
3455 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
3456 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
3459 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
3460 order to narrow it correctly.
3461 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

3475 builtin `with-fluids*'.
3477 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3479 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3480 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
3481 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
3483 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3485 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
3488 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3490 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
3491 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
3492 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
3493 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.

3516 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3517 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
3518 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3519 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3520 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3522 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3523 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3524 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3525 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3527 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3529 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3530 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
3531 sending in bug reports.
3532 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3533 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3534 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3535 display a warning if the two are different.
3536 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3537 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3538 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

3546 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3547 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3549 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3550 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3551 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3552 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3553 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3554 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3557 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
3558 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3561 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3562 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
3564 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3567 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3570 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

3582 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3583 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3584 to support printing of structures.
3585 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3586 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
3587 commented out printing code.
3588 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3589 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".

3600 during call to scm-style-repl.
3602 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3604 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3605 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3606 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3607 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
3608 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
3610 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3612 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3613 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3616 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3618 * regex.scm: New file.
3619 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.

3625 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
3626 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
3627 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
3629 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3631 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
3634 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3636 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3637 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
3638 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3640 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3642 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3643 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3646 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3648 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

3652 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3654 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3656 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3657 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3660 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3662 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3663 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3664 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
3666 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3668 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3669 the Scheme code like code yet.
3670 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3672 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3674 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3675 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
3676 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3678 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3680 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the

3687 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3689 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3691 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3693 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3694 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3695 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3697 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

3743 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3744 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,

3748 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3750 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,

3764 * slib.scm: update read usage.
3766 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3767 Don't define read-sharp.
3769 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3770 (read-sharp): removed.
3771 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3772 case_i or read-sharp arguments.

3801 return the quit args.
3802 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3803 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
3804 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3806 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).

3828 Change hooks to use these functions.
3830 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
3831 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3832 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3834 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3835 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3836 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3837 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
3838 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3839 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3840 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3843 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3844 and exit-frame exceptions.
3846 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3847 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3848 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3849 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3850 result; otherwise display "> ".
3851 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3853 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3854 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3855 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
3856 repository version runnable.
3858 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3860 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3861 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
3862 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3863 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3864 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3865 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3867 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3869 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3870 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3872 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3874 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3875 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
3877 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3879 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3881 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3883 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3886 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3888 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3889 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3891 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3893 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
3896 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3898 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3899 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3901 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3903 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3905 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3906 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3907 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3908 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3909 dynamic linking of modules.
3910 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3911 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3913 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3915 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3917 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3919 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3922 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3923 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
3926 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3928 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3929 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3930 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3932 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3934 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3935 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
3938 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3940 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3941 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3942 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3944 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3946 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3947 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3948 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3949 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3951 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3952 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3953 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3954 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3955 (such as the-scm-module).
3957 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3959 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3962 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
3964 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3965 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3966 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3968 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3970 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3971 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3972 function, use it accordingly.
3974 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3976 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
3977 function of no arguments.
3978 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3979 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3980 set-current-module): Uses changed.
3981 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3982 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3983 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3984 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3985 *top-level-eval-closure*.
3987 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3989 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3990 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3992 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3994 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3995 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3996 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
3997 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
3998 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
4000 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
4003 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
4004 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
4005 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
4006 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
4008 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
4010 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
4012 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
4013 If the user wants to see this, he can do
4014 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
4016 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
4019 Added `before-read-hook'.
4021 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
4023 (provide): New function.
4025 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
4028 (backtrace): New function.
4030 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
4031 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
4032 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
4033 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
4034 is found in operator position in a frame.
4036 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4039 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
4040 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
4041 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
4043 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
4045 (library-vicinity): Updated.
4047 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
4049 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
4051 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4053 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
4055 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
4056 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
4058 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
4059 so they'll get distributed.
4061 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
4062 should see as little clutter as possible.
4063 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
4064 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
4065 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
4067 * r4rs.scm: New file.
4068 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
4069 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
4070 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
4071 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
4072 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
4073 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
4074 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
4075 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
4076 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
4078 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
4079 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
4081 * test.scm: New file.
4083 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
4084 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
4085 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
4087 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
4088 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
4090 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
4092 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
4093 call %load-announce.
4095 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4097 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
4098 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
4099 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
4101 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
4103 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4105 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
4106 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
4107 SCSH (which this isn't).
4109 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4111 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4113 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4115 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
4116 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
4117 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
4119 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
4120 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
4121 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
4122 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
4125 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4127 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
4129 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
4131 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
4132 error-catching-loop.
4133 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
4134 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
4135 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
4137 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
4138 error-catching-loop.
4140 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4142 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
4143 (make-module): Rework for readability.
4144 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
4145 should be '(), not #f.
4147 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
4148 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
4150 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4152 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
4153 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
4156 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4158 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
4159 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
4160 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
4161 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
4163 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4165 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
4167 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4169 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
4171 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
4172 throw-handler-default.
4173 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
4175 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
4177 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
4178 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
4180 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4182 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
4183 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
4184 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
4185 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
4187 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4189 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
4190 Append "." to the default %load-path.
4191 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
4192 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
4194 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
4195 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
4196 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
4197 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
4200 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
4202 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
4204 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
4207 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
4210 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
4212 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4214 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
4215 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
4217 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4219 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
4221 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
4223 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4225 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
4226 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
4227 Don't set up 'error as a key.
4228 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
4229 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
4231 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
4232 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
4233 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
4234 they seem redundant.
4235 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
4236 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
4237 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
4238 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
4239 directly files starting with "/").
4240 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
4241 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
4243 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
4245 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4247 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
4248 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
4249 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
4250 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
4251 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
4252 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
4253 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
4254 robust to just do it in the C code.
4256 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4258 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
4259 %try-load itself was the primitive.
4260 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
4261 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
4262 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
4264 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
4266 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
4267 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
4268 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
4270 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4272 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
4273 system-error, not every kind of error.
4274 (scm-error): new procedure.
4276 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4278 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4280 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4282 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
4283 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
4284 of args are supplied.
4285 (%%system-errors): removed.
4286 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
4287 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
4288 %%handle-system-error.
4289 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
4290 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
4291 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
4292 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
4294 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4296 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
4297 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
4298 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
4299 %S (embed an argument using "write").
4301 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4303 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
4304 the empty list if they are #f.
4305 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
4307 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4309 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
4311 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
4312 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
4313 aborting, just the key and subr.
4314 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
4315 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
4316 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
4318 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4320 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
4321 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
4322 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
4323 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
4324 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
4326 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
