ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 2004-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
   2
   3         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Addef srfi-13 and srfi-14.
   4
   5 2004-08-20  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
   6
   7         * debugger/utils.scm (display-source): Use unmemoize-expr instead
   8         of unmemoize.
   9         (write-frame-short/expression): Likewise.
  10
  11 2004-08-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  12
  13         * and-let-star.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-2, since this module
  14         provides that feature.
  15         * receive.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-8, since this module
  16         provides that feature.

  19
  20         From Matthias Koeppe.  Thanks!
  21
  22         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): In the local procedure `wr', use
  23         object->string to print all data (except for the reader macros),
  24         rather than implementing an own printer.  The user-visible
  25         difference is that procedures and control characters like #\tab
  26         are now printed in the same way as by `write'.
  27
  28 2004-08-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  29
  30         * slib.scm (*features*): Remove array and array-for-each, core
  31         definitions are insufficient for latest slib.
  32         (t, nil): New constants slib says are supposed to exist.
  33         (call-with-open-ports, browse-url): New functions for latest slib.
  34         Implementations taken from Template.scm (public domain).
  35         (open-file): Extend core definition to accept symbols for the mode,
  36         required by latest slib.
  37         (delete-file): Replace core definition with version returning #t/#f as
  38         per slib spec.
  39         (system): Mark as #:replace to suppress override warning, use new
  40         style "(@ (guile) system)" to call core function.
  41
  42 2004-05-25  Matthias Koeppe  <mkoeppe@mail.math.uni-magdeburg.de>
  43
  44         * format.scm: Remove the arbitrary limit of 100 iterations for the
  45         ~{...~} control structure.
  46
  47 2004-07-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  48
  49         * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Remove unused variable "val".
  50         * pretty-print.scm (read-macro-prefix): Remove unused variable "tail".
  51
  52         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Add srfi-6 which is in the core.
  53
  54         * safe-r5rs.scm (re-export): Uncomment numerator, denominator,
  55         rationalize, since they now exist.
  56
  57 2004-07-05  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  58
  59         * slib.scm (system): Correction to redefinition, now guile is stricter
  60         about when a define binding comes into existance.
  61
  62 2004-05-29  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
  63
  64         * boot-9.scm: Reordered definitions such that macro definitions
  65         preceed their first usage.  Include and define deprecated stuff
  66         late in the file to have a better change of detecting accidental
  67         uses of deprecated definitions. Further, unified the layout a
  68         little and grouped definitions more cleanly into topics.
  69
  70 2004-05-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  71
  72         * history.scm (use-value-history): Use resolve-interface instead
  73         of resolve-module so that only the exported bindings are searched.
  74         (save-value-history): Export the newly defined variable.  Reported
  75         by Wolfgang Jaehrling.
  76
  77 2004-05-04  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
  78
  79         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): Always start searching from the
  80         root module.  This will allow the C equivalent scm_resolve_module
  81         to work, independent of what the current module is.
  82
  83 2004-02-18  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  84
  85         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Make the (guile-user) module use the
  86         (ice-9 r5rs) module.
  87
  88 2004-02-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
  89
  90         * boot-9.scm (module-map): Renamed hash-map -> hash-map->list.
  91
  92 2004-02-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  93
  94         * debugger/trap-hooks.scm (debug-hook-membership): New, exported.
  95
  96         * debugger/commands.scm (debug-trap-hooks): New, exported.
  97
  98 2004-02-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
  99
 100         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES),
 101         debugger/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES), Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES): Use
 102         this variable instead of ETAGS_ARGS so that TAGS can be built
 103         using separate build directory.
 104
 105 2004-01-20  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 106
 107         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Back out 2003-11-19 change to
 108         lazy-handler-dispatch lookup.
 109
 110 2004-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 111
 112         * mapping.scm: Use '#:' prefix for keywords instead of ':'.
 113         Thanks to Richard Todd!
 114
 115 2004-01-11  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 116
 117         * slib.scm (system): New function, giving an exit code return in
 118         accordance with slib spec.
 119
 120         Revert this, it breaks test-suite/tests/r5rs_pitfalls.test where
 121         false-if-exception is used within syntax-rules.  (Suspect syntax-rules
 122         ought to support this sort of thing, but it doesn't right now.)
 123         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
 124         to depend on expansion environment.
 125
 126 2004-01-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 127
 128         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): Use with-fluid* when only one fluid is
 129         being set.

 131 2004-01-07  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 132
 133         * q.scm (q-pop!): Should be "null?" not "not" for end-of-list.
 134         Reported by Richard Todd.
 135
 136 2004-01-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 137
 138         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
 139         to depend on expansion environment.
 140
 141         * slib.scm (-1+, <?, <=?, =?, >?, >=?): Define as aliases for 1-, <,
 142         <=, =, >, >= respectively, required by slib 'rev2-procedures but no
 143         longer in the guile core.
 144
 145 2003-11-19  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 146
 147         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Defer lookup of
 148         lazy-handler-dispatch.
 149
 150 2003-11-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 151
 152         * boot-9.scm (@, @@): New macros.

 156         * boot-9.scm: Started comment about module system workings.
 157
 158 2003-11-11  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 159
 160         * debugger.scm: Change ui-* calls to gds-*.
 161         (debug-on-error): Debug if throw key is in specified syms, not if
 162         it isn't!  Also throw 'abort after debugging, so as to skip the
 163         REPL's backtrace.
 164
 165         * debugger/behaviour.scm (*trap*): New variable, stores trap type.
 166         (before-enter-frame-hook, before-apply-frame-hook,
 167         before-exit-frame-hook): Set here.
 168         (debug-if-flag-set): Passed into flags on debug-stack call.
 169         (at-step, at-next): Changed to debug at frame exit points as well.

 180         debug immediately on connection.

 185         handler.
 186
 187 2003-10-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 188
 189         * ftw.scm (directory-files): Close dir-stream when done.  Thanks

 193

 195         actually traverse the given alist.
 196
 197 2003-10-06  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 198
 199         * debugger/ui-client.scm (handle-instruction): Add evaluation
 200         support.
 201         (ui-eval): New.

 204
 205         * debugger/ui-client.scm (ui-disable-async-thread,
 206         ui-continue-async-thread, start-async-ui-thread): New.
 207         (ui-command-loop): Call ui-disable-async-thread and
 208         ui-continue-async-thread.
 209         (handle-instruction): Read terminating newline char so it doesn't
 210         cause following select to pop immediately.
 211
 212 2003-09-25  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 213
 214         * debugger/ui-client.scm, debugger/ui-server.scm: New (work in
 215         progress on new debugging front end).
 216
 217 2003-09-24  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 218
 219         * debugger.scm (default-default-lazy-handler, debug-on-error):
 220         New.
 221
 222         * debugger/behaviour.scm (debug-if-flag-set): Display debug entry
 223         messages through (debugger-output-port).
 224         (after-exit-frame-hook): Trace through (debugger-output-port).

 228         string, read from it before evaluating.
 229         (evaluate): Change output format to "EXPR => VALUE".
 230
 231 2003-09-19  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 232
 233         * popen.scm (open-process): Correction to previous fdes closing
 234         change, need to watch out for stdin==stderr or stdout==stderr.

 237
 238         * format.scm (format): Rewritten as a big letrec to make it

 240
 241 2003-09-13  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 242
 243         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?): Use stat rather than access?, so as to
 244         follow the effective UID/GID not the real ID.  file-exists? is
 245         normally used as a prelude to opening or some other operation, and
 246         it's the effective ID which will apply there.  Emacs file-exists-p
 247         uses stat, presumably for the the same reason.
 248
 249 2003-09-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 250
 251         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Use a proper hashtable as

 254         for empty ones.
 255
 256         * format.scm (format:error): Use 'format:format' instead of
 257         'format' since the latter will lock the mutex again that we have
 258         already locked.
 259         (format:format-work): Flag multiple '#' as an error.
 260
 261 2003-08-17  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 262
 263         * boot-9.scm (while): Use a new key dynamically for each loop, so
 264         break and continue associate to their loop even when recursing.
 265
 266 2003-08-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 267
 268         * boot-9.scm (while): Rewrite, continue as proper escape, break
 269         without return value, break and continue new for each while form,
 270         don't depend on bindings in expansion environment.
 271
 272         * popen.scm (open-process): Close input-fdes, output-fdes and
 273         error-fdes after duping them to 0, 1 and 2.
 274
 275 2003-06-19  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 276
 277         * threads.scm (parallel): For no forms, use `(values)' not `(begin)'.
 278
 279 2003-05-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 280
 281         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Added missing quote around
 282         vector constant.
 283
 284 2003-05-20  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 285
 286         * deprecated.scm (list*): Added.
 287
 288 2003-05-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 289
 290         * documentation.scm (file-commentary, find-documentation-in-file): Use
 291         call-with-input-file, to close ports when done.
 292
 293 2003-05-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 294
 295         * gap-buffer.scm (point++n!, point+-n!): Use substring-move!
 296         instead of substring-move-left! or substring-move-right!.  Thanks
 297         to Kevin Ryde.
 298
 299         * deprecated.scm (substring-move-left!, substring-move-right!):
 300         New.
 301
 302         * boot-9.scm (display-usage-report): Use keyword->symbol instead
 303         of keyword-symbol, which doesn't exist.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde.
 304
 305         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-get-handle): Pass only the expected four
 306         arguments to hashx-get-handle.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde!
 307
 308         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port) Pass 0 as second
 309         argument to string-ref.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde!

 312
 313         * serialize.scm: New file.

 322
 323 2003-03-26  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 324
 325         * deprecated.scm: New file, to collect deprecated things.
 326         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added.
 327
 328         * boot-9.scm: Load "ice-9/deprecated.scm" when appropriate.
 329         (try-load-module): Also try the old deprecated method, maybe.

 340
 341         * format.scm (format:out-substr): Update the column counter
 342         correctly. This fixes the behavior of ~T (tabbing) after ~F, for
 343         instance.  Thanks to Matthias Koeppe!
 344
 345 2003-03-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 346
 347         * session.scm (apropos): Don't look in duplicates interface.

 352         and merge-accessors handlers are available also before (oop goops)

 379
 380         * slib.scm (*features*): Set the core variable instead of defining
 381         a local version.
 382         (provide, provided?): Mark as replacements.
 383
 384         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't install the duplicates
 385         handler here.
 386         (default-duplicate-binding-handler): Renamed from
 387         default-module-duplicates-handler; Removed converter.
 388         (process-duplicates): Lookup default duplicates handler dynamically.
 389         (default-duplicate-binding-procedures): New parameter.

 391 2003-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>

 396
 397         * debugger/command-loop.scm: Prefix all commands imported from

 401         (module-symbol-interface): Removed.
 402         (resolve-interface): Process #:hide; Name custom interfaces
 403         appropriately.
 404         (module-use!, module-use-interfaces!): Remove existing interfaces
 405         on the use-list based on module name rather than interface
 406         identity so that custom interfaces truly replaces their previous
 407         version.
 408
 409         * boot-9.scm (module-override!, make-mutable-parameter,
 410         lookup-duplicates-handlers, default-module-duplicates-handler):

 433         array-for-each.
 434
 435 2003-02-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 436
 437         * boot-9.scm (make-module): Changed default size from 1021 to 31
 438         (since the size now adapts).
 439         (macro-table, xformer-table): Changed default size from 523 to 61.
 440         (make-module): Don't call make-hash-table with zero size.
 441

 443
 444         * weak-vector.scm: New file.

 448         (module-map): Use hash-map.
 449
 450 2003-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 451
 452         * boot-9.scm (make-hash-table): Turned primitive.
 453
 454 2003-01-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 455
 456         * syncase.scm (guile-macro): Strip syntactic information from
 457         expression before trying to treat it as a Guile macro call.
 458         (Thanks to Kevin Ryde.)
 459
 460 2003-01-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 461
 462         * threads.scm (parallel, letpar): Rewritten.

 467         futures.
 468
 469 2003-01-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 470
 471         * occam-channel.scm (alt): New syntax.
 472
 473         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Removed.  Guile now provides this
 474         operator as a primitive procedure.
 475         (build-data): Quote vectors (psyntax.ss requires this).
 476
 477 2003-01-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 478
 479         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Allow procedures implanted in
 480         source.  (Guile uses this internally.)
 481
 482 2003-01-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 483
 484         * psyntax.ss (build-data): Don't quote self-evaluating expressions
 485         in output.  (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be
 486         quoted, but until Guile's native macros and syncase cooperates
 487         better, it is less destructive not to quote.)
 488         (self-evaluating?): Removed null? (In Guile, the empty list is not
 489         self-evaluating).
 490         (sc-chi): Export chi as sc-chi.
 491         (external-macro): New syntax type.
 492
 493         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 494
 495         * compile-psyntax.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure.
 496
 497         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Return *unspecified*.
 498
 499         * syncase.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure to
 500         the-syncase-eval-closure during booting so that variables are
 501         created in the correct module.
 502         (syncase): Set expansion-eval-closure.
 503         (define-syntax define-syntax-public eval-when fluid-let-syntax
 504         identifier-syntax let-syntax letrec-syntax syntax syntax-case
 505         syntax-rules with-syntax include): Removed definitions (these are
 506         created from within psyntax.pp).
 507         Enable expansion of Guile macros during a syntax-case
 508         transformation.
 509
 510 2003-01-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 511

 513         (make-timer): New function.
 514
 515         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added occam-channel.scm.
 516
 517         * occam-channel.scm: New file.  Implements occam-like channels.
 518
 519 2002-12-28  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 520
 521         * boot-9.scm (module-defined-hook): New hook, run whenever a new
 522         module is defined.
 523         (process-define-module): Run this hook.
 524
 525 2002-12-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
 526
 527         * threads.scm: Removed bogus definition of future-ref.
 528
 529 2002-12-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 530
 531         * threads.scm (par-map, par-for-each): Reimplemented using
 532         joing-thread.
 533         (parallel): Reimplemented using futures.
 534         (n-par-map, n-for-each): New procedures.
 535
 536 2002-12-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 537
 538         * optargs.scm (improper-list-copy): New.
 539         (parse-arglist): Use it instead of list-copy.
 540
 541 2002-12-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 542
 543         * threads.scm (letpar): New macro.
 544
 545 2002-12-08  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 546
 547         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION ->
 548         GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.

 557         * threads.scm (parallel): New macro.
 558          (par-map, par-for-each): New procedures.
 559
 560         * documentation.scm (object-documentation): Added support for
 561         defmacros.

 564
 565         * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax):  Re-introduced after accidentally
 566         removing it in my patch from 2002-11-16.
 567
 568 2002-11-24  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 569
 570         Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
 571         following changes:
 572
 573         * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
 574
 575         (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
 576         %system-define.
 577
 578         * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
 579         until Guile supports hygienic macros.
 580
 581 2002-11-17  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 582
 583         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
 584         has been removed from the core.
 585
 586 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 587
 588         * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
 589         identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
 590         syntax-rules, with-syntax, include):  Changed definitions to form
 591         'real' macro definitions.
 592
 593 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 594
 595         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 596         Fixed my previous fix (blush).
 597
 598 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 599
 600         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 601         Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
 602
 603 2002-11-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 604
 605         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition
 606         needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.
 607
 608 2002-11-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 609
 610         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"
 611         change below.

 613         * debugger/breakpoints/source.scm: Enable source property
 614         recording when module is loaded.
 615         (##): Cope with ports whose `filename' is not a string.
 616

 620         code.
 621
 622         * debugger/command-loop.scm (read-and-dispatch-command): Import
 623         set-readline-prompt dynamically if we need to.  (Previous
 624         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
 625         readline).)
 626
 627 2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 628
 629         * format.scm (format): Wrap a monitor around format:format since
 630         it is not thread-safe.
 631
 632 2002-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 633
 634         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'.  This

 643         - see comment in file for more details.

 648
 649         * debugger/commands.scm, debugger/command-loop.scm,
 650         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits
 651         of old (ice-9 debugger), plus some rewriting and enhancements for

 662         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
 663         execution from a breakpoint.
 664
 665         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,
 666         debugger/breakpoints/procedural.scm,
 667         debugger/breakpoints/range.scm, debugger/breakpoints/source.scm,
 668         debugger/trap-hooks.scm, debugger/trc.scm: New files - breakpoint

 681
 682         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
 683         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
 684         the-root-module.
 685
 686 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 687
 688         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
 689         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and
 690         call-with-unblocked-asyncs instead of mask-signals and
 691         unmask-signals.
 692
 693 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 694
 695         * buffered-input.scm (make-buffered-input-port): Build an
 696         input-waiting thunk for just extended version of make-soft-port.
 697
 698 2002-10-04  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 699
 700         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
 701         >= 0.
 702
 703 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 704
 705         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to

 787         * boot-9.scm: Comment grammar fixes; nfc.
 788         Thanks to Christopher Cramer.
 789
 790 2002-02-24  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 791
 792         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
 793         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
 794         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
 795
 796         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.
 797
 798 2002-02-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@giblet.glug.org>
 799
 800         * regex.scm: Add commentary; nfc.

 802 2002-02-05  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@giblet.glug.org>
 803
 804         * Makefile.am: Include $(top_srcdir)/pre-inst-guile.am.
 805
 806         (psyntax.pp): Use $(preinstguile).
 807
 808 2002-01-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 809
 810         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
 811         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
 812         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
 813         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
 814
 815 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 816
 817         More options for pretty-print.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 818
 819         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
 820         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
 821         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
 822
 823 2001-11-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 824
 825         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have
 826         these in the core.
 827
 828 2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 829
 830         * boot-9.scm (turn-on-debugging): New function, to be used by
 831         scm_compile_shell_switches.
 832
 833         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
 834         positions.
 835
 836 2001-10-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 837
 838         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 839         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 840         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 841
 842         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,
 843           channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,

 847           safe.scm, session.scm, slib.scm, streams.scm, string-fun.scm,
 848           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
 849           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 850           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 851           exporting bindings.
 852
 853 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 854
 855         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
 856         :re-export-syntax
 857
 858 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 859
 860         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 861         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 862         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 863         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 864
 865 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 866
 867         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
 868         %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,

 870         builtin-variable.
 871

 873
 874         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.
 875
 876 2001-09-19  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>
 877
 878         * expect.scm: Commentary fix; nfc.
 879
 880         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
 881
 882 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 883
 884         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 885         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
 886
 887 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 888
 889         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 890         the `arglist' procedure property.
 891         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 892         present a more detailed argument list.
 893
 894         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 895
 896 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 897
 898         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
 899         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel
 900         Skarda.
 901
 902 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 903
 904         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
 905
 906         (feature?): Deprecated.

 916
 917         (module-make-local-var!, module-ensure-local-variable!,

 919
 920         (try-load-module, use-syntax, module-export!): Remove deprecated
 921         functionality.
 922
 923         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
 924         needed to trick export.
 925
 926 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 927
 928         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.
 929
 930 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 931
 932         * and-let-star-compat.scm:  Deleted.
 933
 934         * Makefile.am: Remove references to and-let-star-compat.scm.
 935
 936 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 937
 938         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
 939         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
 940         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
 941
 942 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 943
 944         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
 945         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
 946
 947 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 948
 949         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

 951 2001-08-12  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 952
 953         * getopt-long.scm: Rewrite.
 954         Touch up docstrings.
 955         Augment commentary.
 956
 957 2001-08-02  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 958
 959         * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
 960         last-command fluid is not yet set.
 961
 962 2001-08-02  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 963
 964         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
 965
 966         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'

 968         next element is to be taken as the option arg.
 969
 970 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
 971
 972         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
 973         handle :use-syntax correctly.
 974
 975 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 976
 977         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
 978         compile-psyntax.scm.
 979
 980 2001-07-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 981
 982         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
 983         maintainer mode.  Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
 984         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
 985         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
 986         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
 987
 988 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 989
 990         * and-let-star.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm, history.scm,
 991         lineio.scm, null.scm, optargs.scm, r4rs.scm, r5rs.scm,
 992         receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
 993
 994 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 995
 996         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 997         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
 998
 999 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1000
1001         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
1002         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
1003         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
1004         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
1005
1006         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
1007         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
1008         since there aren't definitions for them.
1009
1010         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
1011         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
1012
1013 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1014
1015         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
1016         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
1017
1018 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1019
1020         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
1021         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
1022
1023 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1024
1025         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
1026         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
1027         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
1028
1029 2001-06-30  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1030
1031         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
1032
1033         * tags.scm: Removed file.
1034
1035 2001-06-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1036
1037         Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
1038         is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
1039
1040         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
1041         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
1042         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
1043         New.
1044
1045 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1046
1047         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
1048         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
1049
1050 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1051
1052         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
1053         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
1054
1055         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
1056         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
1057         evaluator trap options.)
1058
1059 2001-06-25  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1060
1061         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.
1062

1066
1067 2001-06-16  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1068
1069         * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
1070
1071 2001-06-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1072
1073         * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
1074         `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
1075
1076 2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1077
1078         * match.scm:
1079         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
1080         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
1081         No longer require `pretty-print'.
1082
1083         (slib:error): Delete.
1084         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
1085
1086         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.

1090         * common-list.scm:
1091         Clean up some docstrings; nfc.

1093         Update copyright.
1094
1095 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1096
1097         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
1098         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
1099         rdelim) module.  See below.
1100
1101 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1102
1103         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
1104         include-deprecated-features is true.
1105
1106 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1107
1108         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
1109         unknown objects.
1110
1111         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
1112         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
1113         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1114
1115         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
1116         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
1117         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
1118         Köppe!
1119
1120 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1121
1122         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
1123         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
1124         variable, not just a visible one.
1125         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
1126         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
1127         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
1128         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
1129         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
1130         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
1131         variables.
1132         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
1133
1134         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
1135         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
1136
1137 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1138
1139         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
1140         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
1141
1142 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1143
1144         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
1145
1146 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1147
1148         Added exception notice to all files.
1149
1150         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
1151         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
1152         importing bindings once in a while.
1153
1154 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1155
1156         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
1157         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
1158         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1159         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
1160         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,

1162         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
1163         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
1164         message.
1165         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to

1169
1170         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
1171         fix command so that it works.
1172
1173         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
1174         to access unbound variables.

1177         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
1178         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
1179         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
1180         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.

1262         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
1263
1264         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
1265         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.

1299         (apropos-fold): Likewise.

1304         the default default for bindings.
1305
1306         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to

1317         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
1318         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
1319         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
1320         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
1321         `set-current-module' call.
1322         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to

1358         (%autoloader-developer-mode): Delete.
1359         (process-define-module): Use "define-module" in error messages
1360         instead of "defmodule".  Factor error into internal proc.

1362         Replace some single-arm `if-not' constructs w/ `or'.

1634         (named-module-use!): New function.
1635         (top-repl): Do not use `define-module'.  Use equivalent low-level

1664
1665         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
1666         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
1667
1668         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
1669         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
1670
1671         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
1672         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
1673
1674 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1675
1676         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
1677         in C for now.
1678         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
1679         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
1680
1681 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1682
1683         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
1684         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
1685         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
1686         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
1687         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
1688         for now.
1689         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).

1691
1692 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1693
1694         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1695         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1696         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1697         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1698         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1699         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1700         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
1701

1706
1707 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1708
1709         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
1710         any more.
1711
1712 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1713
1714         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
1715         the-root-module.

1724         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
1725         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
1726         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,

1733         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
1734         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
1735         make-shared-substring.
1736
1737 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1738
1739         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1740         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1741         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1742         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1743         scm-style-repl.
1744
1745 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

1748         and open-output-pipe.
1749
1750 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1751
1752         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1753         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1754         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1755         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1756         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1757         Pirotte for the bug report).
1758         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1759         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

1762

1771
1772         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
1773         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
1774         patch.
1775
1776 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1777

1780
1781 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1782
1783         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1784         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1785         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1786
1787         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1788         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1789         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1790         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1791         actual documentation entries themselves.

1804         Convert first argument to a string.
1805
1806         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
1807         getter-and-setter-syntax,

1820
1821         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
1822         `symbol-append'.
1823         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1824         args.
1825         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1826         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1827         even worked...  /mdj.
1828         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1829         `symbol->string'.
1830         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1831         semantics.

1858         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1859         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1860         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1861         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1862         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1863

1869         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1870
1871         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1872         syntactic bindings.
1873

1875         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1876         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
1877         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1878

1888
1889 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1890
1891         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1892         definition of module-type.
1893
1894         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1895
1896         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1897
1898         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1899         lines.
1900         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1901         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1902
1903 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1904
1905         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
1906
1907 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1908
1909         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
1910         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
1911         Mikael for the suggestion.
1912
1913 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1914
1915         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1916         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1917
1918 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1919
1920         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1921         for export args.
1922
1923 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1924
1925         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
1926
1927 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1928
1929         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1930         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
1931         for the hint.
1932
1933         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
1934         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
1935         tail recursive yet.
1936
1937 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1938
1939         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1940         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1941
1942         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1943         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1944         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1945         See NEWS.
1946         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1947
1948         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1949
1950 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1951
1952         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1953         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1954
1955 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1956
1957         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1958         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1959
1960 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1961
1962         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
1963         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1964
1965 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1966
1967         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1968
1969         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1970
1971         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1972
1973 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1974
1975         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1976         '() instead of #f.
1977         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1978         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1979         `the-root-module'.
1980         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1981
1982         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1983         documentation.scm.
1984
1985         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1986         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1987         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1988         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1989         (help): Rewritten.
1990
1991         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1992
1993         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1994
1995 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1996
1997         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1998         (write-all): Removed.
1999         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
2000         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
2001
2002 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
2003
2004         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
2005         `proc-documentation'
2006
2007         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
2008         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
2009         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
2010         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
2011         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
2012         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
2013         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
2014         getter...)
2015
2016 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2017
2018         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
2019
2020 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2021
2022         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
2023         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
2024         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
2025         closure.
2026
2027 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2028
2029         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
2030         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
2031         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
2032         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
2033         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
2034         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
2035         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
2036
2037 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2038
2039         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
2040         accept complex numbers as parameter.
2041
2042 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2043
2044         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
2045         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
2046
2047 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2048
2049         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
2050         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
2051         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
2052         instead of remove-if when iterating.
2053         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
2054         delete-if! when iterating.
2055
2056 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2057
2058         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
2059
2060 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2061
2062         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
2063
2064 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2065
2066         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
2067         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
2068         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
2069         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
2070
2071 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2072
2073         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
2074         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
2075
2076 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2077
2078         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
2079         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
2080         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
2081         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
2082
2083 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
2084
2085         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
2086         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
2087
2088 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2089
2090         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
2091         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
2092
2093 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2094
2095         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
2096         Dirk Hermann!
2097
2098 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2099
2100         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
2101         source of the numerous very short changes.
2102
2103 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2104
2105         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
2106         public.
2107
2108         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
2109         info pages.
2110
2111 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2112
2113         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
2114         from slib docs.
2115
2116 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2117
2118         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
2119         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
2120
2121 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2122
2123         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
2124         to string-append.
2125
2126 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2127
2128         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
2129         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
2130         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
2131
2132 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2133
2134         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
2135         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
2136         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
2137         Narazaki for this change.
2138
2139 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2140
2141         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
2142         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
2143         %S.
2144
2145         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
2146         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
2147
2148 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2149
2150         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
2151         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
2152
2153 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2154
2155         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
2156         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
2157         use define-public to export from the module.
2158
2159 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2160
2161         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
2162         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
2163         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
2164
2165 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2166
2167         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
2168
2169 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2170
2171         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
2172         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
2173
2174 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2175
2176         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
2177
2178         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
2179
2180         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
2181
2182 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2183
2184         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
2185         long_long uniform vectors.
2186

2188
2189         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
2190         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
2191
2192 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2193
2194         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
2195         script to create generated files like this one.
2196
2197 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2198
2199         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
2200         available before using getpw and getuid.
2201         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
2202         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
2203         check for stat.
2204         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
2205         check for .guile, instead of stat.
2206         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
2207         available.
2208         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
2209         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
2210         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
2211
2212         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
2213         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
2214
2215         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
2216
2217 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2218
2219         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
2220         than 'exit-debugger.
2221
2222         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
2223         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
2224
2225         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
2226
2227 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2228

2230         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
2231         ("position"): New command.
2232         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
2233         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
2234         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected

2236         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
2237
2238 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2239
2240         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
2241         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
2242         Badros.)
2243
2244 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2245
2246         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
2247         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
2248
2249 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2250
2251         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
2252
2253         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
2254
2255         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
2256         (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
2257
2258         * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
2259         display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
2260         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
2261         expression.
2262         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
2263         Handle errors.
2264
2265 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2266
2267         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
2268         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
2269
2270         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
2271
2272 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2273
2274         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
2275         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
2276         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
2277         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
2278
2279         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
2280         argument.
2281
2282         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
2283         both forward and backward views of the stack
2284         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
2285         Use selector `frame-number';
2286         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
2287         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
2288         Use (ice-9 debug).
2289         Use readline conditionally.
2290
2291 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2292
2293         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
2294         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
2295         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
2296
2297         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
2298         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
2299         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
2300
2301 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2302
2303         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
2304
2305         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
2306
2307         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
2308
2309         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2310
2311 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2312
2313         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
2314         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
2315         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
2316         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
2317         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
2318         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
2319         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
2320         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
2321         libguile-config-stamp.
2322         * version.scm.in: Delete.
2323         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
2324         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
2325         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
2326         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
2327
2328 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2329
2330         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
2331         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
2332         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
2333
2334         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
2335         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
2336         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
2337         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
2338         readline.
2339
2340         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
2341
2342 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
2343
2344         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
2345
2346 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2347
2348         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
2349         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
2350
2351 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
2352
2353         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
2354         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
2355         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
2356         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
2357         objects starting with '#/'.
2358
2359 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2360
2361         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
2362         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
2363         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
2364         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
2365         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
2366         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
2367         `observer-id'.
2368         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
2369         module-modified): New procedures.
2370         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
2371         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
2372
2373 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2374
2375         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
2376         defines.
2377
2378 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2379
2380         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
2381         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
2382         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2383
2384         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
2385         position.
2386
2387 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2388
2389         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
2390         at multiple calls to read.
2391         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
2392         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
2393         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
2394         continued-lines prompt.
2395
2396         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
2397         reading expressions.
2398
2399 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2400
2401         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
2402         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2403
2404 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2405
2406         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
2407         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
2408         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2409
2410         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2411
2412         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
2413         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
2414
2415         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
2416         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
2417         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
2418         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
2419         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
2420         instead of a port.
2421
2422 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2423
2424         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
2425         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2426
2427         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
2428
2429         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
2430         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
2431         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
2432         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
2433
2434         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
2435
2436         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2437
2438         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
2439         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
2440         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
2441         an alist.
2442
2443         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2444
2445         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
2446         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
2447         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
2448         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
2449         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
2450         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2451         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
2452         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
2453         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
2454         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2455         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
2456
2457         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2458
2459         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
2460         peeked from the stream.
2461         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
2462         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
2463         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
2464
2465         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2466
2467         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
2468         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
2469
2470         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2471
2472         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2473         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
2474         exiting repl with single control-D.
2475
2476         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2477
2478         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2479         error catching loop after quit received.
2480         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2481
2482         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2483         primitive exit if non-interactive.
2484         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2485
2486         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2487         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2488         boot-9.scm.
2489         * popen.scm: new file.
2490
2491 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2492
2493        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
2494        (reverse-iota):  removed.
2495
2496 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2497
2498         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
2499         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
2500
2501 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2502
2503         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2504         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2505         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2506         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2507         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2508
2509 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2510
2511         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2512
2513         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2514         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2515
2516         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2517         Guile's module system.
2518
2519         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2520         changes:
2521         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2522         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2523         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2524         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
2525         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2526         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2527         modern CL behavior.
2528         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2529         '() when the condition is false.
2530
2531 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2532
2533         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2534
2535 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2536
2537         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2538
2539 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2540
2541         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2542         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2543         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2544
2545 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2546
2547         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2548         argument order for hash-fold.
2549
2550 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2551
2552         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
2553         resolve-module.
2554         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2555         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2556
2557         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2558         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2559         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2560         has been added to the load path).
2561
2562         Use try-load-module.
2563
2564 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2565
2566         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
2567         module between system and user state.
2568
2569 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2570
2571         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2572
2573         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2574         definition.
2575
2576 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2577
2578         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2579         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2580         system can create a wrapper class for it.
2581
2582 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2583
2584         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2585         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
2586         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2587         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2588         stack frame encountered.
2589
2590         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2591         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2592         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2593         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2594         list).]
2595
2596         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2597         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2598         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2599         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2600         please tell me!]
2601
2602         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2603         define-module switches:
2604
2605         (define-module (foo)
2606           :no-backtrace)
2607
2608         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2609         modules.
2610
2611         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2612         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2613         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2614         module it is a system frame.
2615
2616         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2617         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2618         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2619         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2620         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2621
2622         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2623         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
2624         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2625         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2626         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
2627         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2628
2629         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2630         status of a module.;
2631         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.

2633
2634         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.

2647
2648 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2649
2650         Fix from Russ McManus:
2651         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2652         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2653         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2654         either an optional or required value.
2655
2656 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2657
2658         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2659
2660         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2661         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2662
2663         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2664         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2665         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2666         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2667
2668 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2669
2670         * optargs.scm: New file.
2671         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2672         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2673
2674 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2675
2676         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2677         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2678         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2679
2680 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2681
2682         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2683         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2684         for isn't loaded.
2685
2686 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2687
2688         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2689
2690 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2691
2692         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2693         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2694         applied to the module itself.
2695
2696 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2697
2698         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2699
2700         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2701         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2702
2703 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2704
2705         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

2710
2711 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2712
2713         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2714         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2715
2716 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2717
2718         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2719         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2720         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2721         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2722         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2723         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2724         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2725
2726 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2727
2728         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2729         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2730
2731 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2732
2733         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2734         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2735         static libraries.
2736
2737 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2738
2739         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2740
2741 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2742
2743         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2744
2745 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2746
2747         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2748         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2749         adapt to the new hooks.
2750
2751 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2752
2753         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2754         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2755         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2756         code.
2757         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2758         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2759
2760         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2761         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2762         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2763         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2764         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2765         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2766         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2767         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2768         first to register linked modules.
2769
2770         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2771         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2772         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2773
2774         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2775         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2776         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2777         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2778
2779         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2780         to use from C:
2781         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2782         libguile/feature.c.
2783
2784         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2785         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2786         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2787
2788 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2789
2790         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2791         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2792         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2793
2794 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2795
2796         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2797         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2798         result of the last form.
2799
2800 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2801
2802         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2803         syncase.scm.
2804
2805         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2806
2807         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2808         readline-set!: New options interface.
2809
2810         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2811
2812 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2813
2814         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2815         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2816
2817 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2818
2819         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2820         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2821
2822 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2823
2824         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2825         interactive session.
2826         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2827
2828         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2829         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2830
2831 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2832
2833         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2834
2835 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2836
2837         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2838         read line was empty.
2839
2840 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2841
2842         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2843         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2844
2845         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2846
2847         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2848         problem.  Duh.
2849         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2850         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2851         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2852
2853         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2854         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2855         into...
2856         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2857         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2858         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2859
2860         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2861         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2862         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2863         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2864         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2865         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2866         psyntax.ss.
2867         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2868
2869         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2870         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2871
2872 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2873
2874         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2875         and short vectors #h(...).
2876
2877 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2878
2879         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2880         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2881         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2882
2883 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2884
2885         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2886         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2887         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2888
2889 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2890
2891         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2892         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2893
2894         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2895         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2896         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2897         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2898
2899 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2900
2901         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2902         trace flag.
2903
2904         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2905         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2906         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2907         context with traps enabled.
2908
2909 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2910
2911         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2912         module.
2913         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2914
2915 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2916
2917         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2918         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2919         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2920         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2921         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2922
2923 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2924
2925         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2926         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2927
2928 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2929
2930         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2931
2932 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2933
2934         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2935
2936 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2937
2938         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2939
2940 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2941
2942         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2943         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2944
2945 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2946
2947         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2948         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2949         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2950         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
2951         Archibald.)
2952
2953         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2954         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2955         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2956
2957 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2958
2959         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2960         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2961         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2962         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
2963         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2964         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2965         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2966
2967 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2968
2969         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2970
2971 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2972
2973         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2974         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2975         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
2976         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2977         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2978         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2979
2980 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2981
2982         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2983         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2984         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
2985         Steven G. Johnson.)
2986
2987 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2988
2989         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2990
2991 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2992
2993         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2994
2995 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2996
2997         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2998         be completed.
2999
3000 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3001
3002         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
3003
3004 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3005
3006         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
3007         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
3008
3009 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3010
3011         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
3012         similar in use to `use-modules'.
3013         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
3014         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
3015         transformer.
3016         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
3017         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
3018
3019 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3020
3021         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
3022
3023 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3024
3025         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
3026         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
3027         completion.
3028
3029         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
3030         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
3031
3032         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
3033         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
3034         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
3035
3036         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
3037
3038 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3039
3040         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
3041
3042         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
3043         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
3044
3045 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3046
3047         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
3048
3049 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3050
3051         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
3052         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
3053
3054         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
3055
3056         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
3057         obsolete.
3058
3059 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3060
3061         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
3062         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
3063
3064 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3065
3066         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
3067
3068 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3069
3070         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
3071         Stachowiak.)
3072
3073 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3074
3075         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
3076         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
3077         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
3078         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
3079         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
3080         threads.
3081
3082 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3083
3084         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
3085         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
3086         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
3087
3088 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3089
3090         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
3091
3092         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
3093         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
3094
3095 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3096
3097         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
3098         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
3099         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
3100         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
3101         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
3102         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
3103         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
3104         to go here.
3105
3106 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3107
3108         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
3109         is now a fluid.
3110
3111 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3112
3113         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
3114         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
3115         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
3116         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
3117         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
3118         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
3119
3120 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3121
3122         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
3123         usefully so they will work from a script.
3124
3125 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3126
3127         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
3128         neighborhood of the record code.
3129
3130 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3131
3132         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
3133         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
3134         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
3135         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
3136
3137 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3138
3139         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
3140         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
3141         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3142
3143 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3144
3145         Add support for readline function.
3146         * readline.scm: New module.
3147         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
3148         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
3149         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
3150         anything.
3151         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
3152         repl-reader to use them.
3153         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
3154
3155         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
3156
3157 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3158
3159         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3160         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
3161
3162 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3163
3164         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
3165         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
3166         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
3167
3168 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3169
3170         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
3171         #f, abort terminates the process.
3172         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
3173         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
3174
3175 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3176
3177         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
3178         print-state, throw it away.
3179
3180 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3181
3182         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
3183         `0'.
3184
3185 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3186
3187         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
3188         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
3189         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
3190         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
3191         user field).
3192         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
3193         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
3194
3195 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3196
3197         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
3198
3199 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3200
3201         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
3202         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
3203         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
3204         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3205         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
3206         boot-9.scm.
3207         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
3208         distribution and installation.
3209         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3210
3211 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3212
3213         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
3214
3215 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3216
3217         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
3218         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
3219         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
3220
3221         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
3222         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
3223         symbol.
3224
3225 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3226
3227         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
3228
3229         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
3230
3231 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3232
3233         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
3234         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
3235         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
3236         field a separate argument.
3237
3238         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
3239
3240 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3241
3242         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
3243
3244         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
3245         vicinity;
3246         Provide defmacro.
3247
3248 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3249
3250         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
3251
3252 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3253
3254         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
3255         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
3256         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
3257         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
3258         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
3259         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
3260         registered.
3261         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
3262         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
3263         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
3264         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
3265         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
3266         link a .so-file.
3267
3268 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3269
3270         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
3271
3272 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3273
3274         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
3275         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
3276
3277 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3278
3279         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
3280
3281         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
3282         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
3283         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
3284         expansion inside the slib module.
3285
3286         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
3287         constructors.
3288         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
3289         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
3290         (let): New core form.
3291         (if): Removed from core language.
3292         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
3293         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
3294         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
3295
3296         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
3297         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
3298         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
3299         source.
3300         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
3301         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
3302         been loaded.
3303
3304 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
3305
3306         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
3307         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
3308         `use-syntax'.
3309         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
3310
3311         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
3312         (make-module): Modified initialization.
3313         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
3314         mutator for module-associated transformer.
3315         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
3316         `scm:eval-transformer'.
3317         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
3318         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
3319         module.
3320         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
3321
3322 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3323
3324         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
3325
3326         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
3327         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
3328         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
3329         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
3330         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
3331

3333         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
3334         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
3335         syncase macros.
3336         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
3337         the syncase interface.
3338
3339 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3340
3341         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
3342         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
3343         workings of the current module system).
3344
3345 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3346
3347         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
3348         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
3349         off!
3350
3351 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3352
3353         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
3354         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
3355         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
3356
3357 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3358
3359         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
3360         according to the following priorities:
3361         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
3362         2. bindings from the-scm-module
3363         3. tcl bindings
3364         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
3365         disabling the scheme interpreter.
3366         (new-interpreter): New function.
3367
3368         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
3369         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
3370         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
3371
3372 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3373

3377
3378         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
3379
3380 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3381
3382         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
3383         procedures.
3384         (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
3385
3386 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3387
3388         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
3389         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
3390         source!
3391
3392 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3393
3394         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
3395         (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
3396         (apropos-internal): New function.  Return list of accessible
3397         symbols matching regexp.
3398
3399         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
3400         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
3401         in stack-ref).
3402
3403         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
3404         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
3405         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
3406         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
3407         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
3408         result protocol;
3409         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
3410         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
3411
3412 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3418         procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
3419
3420         * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
3421
3422 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3423
3424         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
3425         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
3426         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
3427
3428         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
3429
3430         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
3431         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
3432         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
3433
3434 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3435
3436         * session.scm: New file: Session support.
3437         (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.
3438
3439 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3440
3441         * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
3442         cstime.
3443
3444 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3445
3446         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
3447         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
3448         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
3449
3450         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
3451         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
3452         the top.
3453
3454         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
3455         order to narrow it correctly.
3456         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
3457
3458 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3459
3460         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
3461         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
3462
3463 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3464
3465         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
3466
3467 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3468
3469         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
3470         builtin `with-fluids*'.
3471
3472 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3473
3474         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3475         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
3476         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
3477
3478 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3479
3480         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
3481         automatically.
3482
3483 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3484
3485         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
3486         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
3487         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
3488         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
3489         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
3490
3491 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3492
3493         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
3494         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
3495         a default of /.
3496
3497         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
3498
3499 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3500
3501         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
3502         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
3503         notation, instead of #/ notation.
3504
3505         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
3506         make-regexp.
3507
3508 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3509
3510         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3511         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3512         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
3513         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3514         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3515         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3516
3517         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3518         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3519         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3520         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3521
3522 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3523
3524         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3525         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
3526         sending in bug reports.
3527         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3528         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3529         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3530         display a warning if the two are different.
3531         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3532         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3533         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3534
3535 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3536
3537         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
3538
3539 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3540
3541         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3542         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3543
3544         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3545         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3546         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3547         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3548         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3549         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3550         that's okay.
3551
3552         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
3553         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3554         regexp interface.
3555
3556         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3557         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
3558
3559         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3560         function names.
3561
3562         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3563         fixes.
3564
3565 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3566
3567         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3568         ../configure.in.
3569
3570 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3571
3572         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3573         vtable and not the one of the struct.
3574
3575 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3576
3577         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3578         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3579         to support printing of structures.
3580         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3581         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
3582         commented out printing code.
3583         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3584         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
3585
3586 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3587
3588         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3589
3590 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3591
3592         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3593         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3594         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3595         during call to scm-style-repl.
3596
3597 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3598
3599         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3600         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3601         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3602         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3603         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3604
3605 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3606
3607         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3608         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3609         (ice-9 regex).
3610
3611 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3612
3613         * regex.scm: New file.
3614         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3615         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3616
3617 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3618
3619         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
3620         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
3621         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
3622         threads.scm: New address for FSF.
3623
3624 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3625
3626         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
3627         in 1997.
3628
3629 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3630
3631         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3632         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3633         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3634
3635 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3636
3637         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3638         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy

3642
3643         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3644
3645 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3646
3647         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3648
3649 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3650
3651         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3652         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3653         fixes this too.
3654
3655 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3656
3657         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3658         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3659         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3660
3661 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3662
3663         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3664         the Scheme code like code yet.
3665         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3666
3667 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3668
3669         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3670         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3671         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3672
3673 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3674
3675         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3676         use-modules macro
3677         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3678         can't be found.
3679
3680 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3681

3685
3686         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3687
3688         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3689         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3690         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3691

3695         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3696         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
3697
3698         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3699         no plugins.
3700         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3701         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3702
3703 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3704
3705         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
3706         functions.
3707

3709
3710         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
3711
3712 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3713
3714         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3715         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
3716
3717 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3718
3719         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3720         instead of in libguile.
3721         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3722         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3723
3724 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3725
3726         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3727         procedures.
3728         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3729         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3730
3731 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3732
3733         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3734         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3735
3736 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3737
3738         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3739         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3740         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3741         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3742
3743 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3744
3745         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3746         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3747
3748 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3749
3750         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3751
3752 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3753
3754         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3755         keywords and symbols.
3756
3757 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3758
3759         * slib.scm: update read usage.
3760
3761         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3762         Don't define read-sharp.
3763
3764         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3765         (read-sharp): removed.
3766         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3767         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3768
3769 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3770
3771         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3772
3773         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by

3775
3776         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3777         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.

3780
3781         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3782

3785         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3786
3787 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3788
3789         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3790         read gets EOF.
3791         * (exit): alias for quit.
3792
3793 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3794
3795         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3796         return the quit args.
3797         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3798         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3799         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3800
3801         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3802
3803 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3804
3805         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3806
3807         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3808         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3809
3810         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3811         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3812
3813         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3814         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3815         of handlers.
3816
3817 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3818
3819         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3820
3821         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3822         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3823         Change hooks to use these functions.
3824
3825         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3826         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3827         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3828         the source! :-)
3829         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3830         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3831         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3832         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3833         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3834         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3835         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3836         traced.
3837
3838         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3839         and exit-frame exceptions.
3840
3841         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3842         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3843         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3844         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3845         result; otherwise display "> ".
3846         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3847
3848         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3849         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3850         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3851         repository version runnable.
3852
3853 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3854
3855         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3856         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3857         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3858         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3859         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3860         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3861
3862 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3863
3864         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3865         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3866         and eval.
3867         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3868         "defined?".
3869         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3870         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3871
3872 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3873
3874         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3875
3876 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3877
3878         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3879         %read-sharp layer.
3880
3881 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3882
3883         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3884         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3885
3886 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3887
3888         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3889         backtrace.c.)
3890
3891 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3892
3893         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3894         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3895
3896 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3897
3898         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3899
3900         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3901         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3902         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3903         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3904         dynamic linking of modules.
3905         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3906         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3907
3908 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3909
3910         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3911
3912 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3913
3914         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3915         that's what it is.
3916
3917         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3918         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3919         was false.
3920
3921 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3922
3923         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3924         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3925         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3926
3927 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3928
3929         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3930         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
3931         yet.
3932
3933 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3934
3935         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3936         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3937         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3938
3939 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3940
3941         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3942         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3943         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3944         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3945
3946         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3947         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3948         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3949         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3950         (such as the-scm-module).
3951
3952 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3953
3954         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3955         %search-load-path.
3956
3957 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
3958
3959         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3960         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3961         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3962
3963 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3964
3965         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3966         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3967         function, use it accordingly.
3968
3969 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3970
3971         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
3972         function of no arguments.
3973         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3974         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3975         set-current-module): Uses changed.
3976         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3977         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3978         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3979         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3980         *top-level-eval-closure*.
3981
3982 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3983
3984         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.

3988
3989         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3990         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3991         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
3992         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
3993         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3994
3995         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3996         `*features*'.
3997
3998         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3999         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
4000         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
4001         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
4002
4003         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
4004
4005         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
4006
4007         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
4008         If the user wants to see this, he can do
4009         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
4010
4011         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
4012         error.
4013
4014         Added `before-read-hook'.
4015
4016         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
4017
4018         (provide): New function.
4019
4020         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
4021         in backtraces.
4022
4023         (backtrace): New function.
4024
4025         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
4026         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
4027         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
4028         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
4029         is found in operator position in a frame.
4030
4031         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4032         by default.
4033
4034         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
4035         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
4036         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
4037
4038         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
4039
4040         (library-vicinity): Updated.
4041
4042         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
4043
4044         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
4045
4046 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4047
4048         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
4049
4050         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
4051         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
4052
4053         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
4054         so they'll get distributed.
4055
4056         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
4057         should see as little clutter as possible.
4058         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
4059         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
4060         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
4061
4062         * r4rs.scm: New file.
4063         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
4064         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
4065         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
4066         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
4067         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
4068         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
4069         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
4070         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
4071         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
4072         that are not.
4073         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
4074         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
4075
4076         * test.scm: New file.
4077
4078         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
4079         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
4080         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
4081
4082         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
4083         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
4084
4085         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
4086         work now.
4087         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
4088         call %load-announce.
4089
4090 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4091
4092         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
4093         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
4094         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
4095         components.
4096         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
4097
4098 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4099
4100         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
4101         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
4102         SCSH (which this isn't).
4103
4104 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4105
4106         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4107
4108 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4109
4110         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
4111         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
4112         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
4113         these.
4114         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
4115         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
4116         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
4117         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
4118         save-stack.
4119
4120 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4121
4122         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
4123
4124         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
4125
4126         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
4127         error-catching-loop.
4128         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
4129         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
4130         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
4131
4132         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
4133         error-catching-loop.
4134
4135 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4136
4137         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
4138         (make-module): Rework for readability.
4139         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
4140         should be '(), not #f.
4141
4142         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
4143         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
4144
4145 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4146
4147         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
4148         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
4149         error-signal.
4150
4151 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4152
4153         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
4154         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
4155         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
4156         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
4157
4158 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4159
4160         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
4161
4162 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4163
4164         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
4165
4166         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
4167         throw-handler-default.
4168         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
4169         reported.
4170         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
4171         acro.
4172         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
4173         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
4174
4175 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4176
4177         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
4178         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
4179         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
4180         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
4181
4182 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4183
4184         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
4185         Append "." to the default %load-path.
4186         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
4187         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
4188         ...))
4189         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
4190         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
4191         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
4192         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
4193         file-is-directory?
4194
4195 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4196
4197         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
4198
4199         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
4200         distribution.
4201
4202         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
4203         `switch-repl'.
4204
4205         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
4206
4207 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4208
4209         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
4210         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
4211
4212 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4213
4214         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
4215
4216         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
4217
4218 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4219
4220         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
4221         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
4222         Don't set up 'error as a key.
4223         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
4224         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
4225
4226         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
4227         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
4228         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
4229         they seem redundant.
4230         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
4231         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
4232         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
4233         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
4234         directly files starting with "/").
4235         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
4236         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
4237
4238         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
4239
4240 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4241
4242         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
4243         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
4244         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
4245         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
4246         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
4247         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
4248         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
4249         robust to just do it in the C code.
4250
4251 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4252
4253         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
4254         %try-load itself was the primitive.
4255         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
4256         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
4257         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
4258
4259 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4260
4261         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
4262         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
4263         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
4264
4265 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4266
4267         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
4268         system-error, not every kind of error.
4269         (scm-error): new procedure.
4270
4271 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4272
4273         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4274
4275 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4276
4277         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
4278         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
4279         of args are supplied.
4280         (%%system-errors): removed.
4281         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
4282         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
4283         %%handle-system-error.
4284         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
4285         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
4286         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
4287         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
4288
4289 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4290
4291         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
4292         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
4293         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
4294         %S (embed an argument using "write").
4295
4296 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4297
4298         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
4299         the empty list if they are #f.
4300         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
4301
4302 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4303
4304         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
4305
4306         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
4307         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
4308         aborting, just the key and subr.
4309         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
4310         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
4311         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
4312
4313 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4314
4315         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
4316         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
4317         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
4318         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
4319         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
4320
4321 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4322
4323         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
4324         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
4325         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.

4352         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the

4355         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
4356         for these.

4360         here, where people expect to find them.

4395         (manifest): Deleted.
