   1 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
   2
   3         * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
   4         identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
   5         syntax-rules, with-syntax, include):  Changed definitions to form
   6         'real' macro definitions.
   7
   8 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
   9
  10         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
  11         Fixed my previous fix (blush).
  12
  13 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  14
  15         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
  16         Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
  17
  18 2002-11-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  19
  20         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition
  21         needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.
  22
  23 2002-11-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  24
  25         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"
  26         change below.
  27
  28         * debugger/breakpoints/source.scm: Enable source property
  29         recording when module is loaded.
  30         (##): Cope with ports whose `filename' is not a string.
  31
  32 2002-11-04  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  33
  34         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Simplify code-generation
  35         code.
  36
  37         * debugger/command-loop.scm (read-and-dispatch-command): Import
  38         set-readline-prompt dynamically if we need to.  (Previous
  39         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
  40         readline).)
  41
  42 2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  43
  44         * format.scm (format): Wrap a monitor around format:format since
  45         it is not thread-safe.

  47 2002-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  48
  49         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'.  This

  51
  52 2002-10-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

  54         Merging debugger enhancements previously in separate
  55         `guile-debugger' package ...
  56
  57         * debugger.scm: Factored out into the following constituent parts
  58         - see comment in file for more details.
  59         (*not-yet-introduced*): New (avoids repeatedly introducing the
  60         debugger when entering it from breakpoints).
  61         (debug-stack): New.
  62         (debug): Rewrite to use more general `debug-stack'.
  63
  64         * debugger/commands.scm, debugger/command-loop.scm,
  65         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits
  66         of old (ice-9 debugger), plus some rewriting and enhancements for
  67         breakpoint support ...
  68
  69         * debugger/state.scm (state-rtd): Add flags field.

  74         location in a way that is more easily trackable by Emacs.
  75
  76         * debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
  77         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
  78         execution from a breakpoint.
  79
  80         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,
  81         debugger/breakpoints/procedural.scm,
  82         debugger/breakpoints/range.scm, debugger/breakpoints/source.scm,
  83         debugger/trap-hooks.scm, debugger/trc.scm: New files - breakpoint

  91
  92         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Do not call unmask-signals, that
  93         should be unnecessary now.
  94
  95 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
  96
  97         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
  98         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
  99         the-root-module.
 100
 101 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 102
 103         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
 104         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and
 105         call-with-unblocked-asyncs instead of mask-signals and
 106         unmask-signals.
 107
 108 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

 114
 115         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
 116         >= 0.
 117
 118 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 119
 120         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to
 121         limit the signal stack.
 122

 124

 132
 133         * syncase.scm: Set the module transformer of the-syncase-module so
 134         that we can use define-syntax.

 136

 140         (sc-macro): Set the expansion-eval-closure expanding the form.
 141         (putprop, getprop): Use the expansion-eval-closure to find
 142         variables instead of the current module.
 143
 144 2002-07-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 172
 173         * format.scm (format:fn-max): Increase to 400 so ~f and ~g can

 175         exponents.
 176
 177 2002-05-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 182
 183         * gap-buffer.scm: New file.

 206
 207         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
 208         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
 209         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
 210
 211         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.
 212

 224
 225         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
 226         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
 227         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
 228         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
 229
 230 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 231
 232         More options for pretty-print.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!

 234         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
 235         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
 236         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
 237

 239
 240         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have
 241         these in the core.
 242
 243 2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 244
 245         * boot-9.scm (turn-on-debugging): New function, to be used by

 248         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
 249         positions.
 250
 251 2001-10-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 252
 253         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 254         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 255         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 256
 257         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,
 258           channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,

 260           null.scm, optargs.scm, poe.scm, popen.scm, pretty-print.scm,
 261           q.scm, r5rs.scm, rdelim.scm, regex.scm, runq.scm, safe-r5rs.scm,

 263           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
 264           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 265           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 266           exporting bindings.
 267
 268 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 269
 270         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,

 272

 274
 275         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 276         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 277         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 278         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 279
 280 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 281
 282         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
 283         %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,
 284         %%apropos-internal): Use module-define! instead of
 285         builtin-variable.

 290
 291 2001-09-19  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>

 294
 295         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
 296
 297 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 298
 299         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 300         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
 301

 303
 304         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 305         the `arglist' procedure property.
 306         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 307         present a more detailed argument list.
 308
 309         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 310
 311 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 312
 313         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission

 318
 319         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
 320
 321         (feature?): Deprecated.
 322
 323         (id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags,
 324         eval-in-module, split-c-module-name,

 336         functionality.
 337
 338         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
 339         needed to trick export.

 342
 343         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.

 351 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>

 356
 357 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 358
 359         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
 360         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
 361
 362 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 363
 364         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

 380

 398         maintainer mode.  Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
 399         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
 400         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
 401         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.

 409 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 410
 411         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 412         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
 413
 414 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 415
 416         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
 417         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
 418         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
 419         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
 420
 421         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 422         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
 423         since there aren't definitions for them.
 424
 425         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
 426         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
 427
 428 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 429
 430         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
 431         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
 432
 433 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 434
 435         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
 436         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
 437
 438 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 439
 440         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
 441         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
 442         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
 443
 444 2001-06-30  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 445
 446         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
 447
 448         * tags.scm: Removed file.
 449
 450 2001-06-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 451
 452         Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
 453         is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
 454
 455         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
 456         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
 457         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
 458         New.
 459
 460 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 461
 462         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
 463         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
 464
 465 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 466
 467         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
 468         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
 469
 470         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
 471         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
 472         evaluator trap options.)
 473
 474 2001-06-25  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 475
 476         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.

 478 2001-06-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 479
 480         * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax): New.

 484         * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
 485
 486 2001-06-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 487
 488         * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
 489         `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
 490
 491 2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 492
 493         * match.scm:
 494         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
 495         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
 496         No longer require `pretty-print'.
 497
 498         (slib:error): Delete.
 499         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
 500
 501         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
 502
 503         * README: New file.
 504
 505         * common-list.scm:
 506         Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
 507         Add Commentary.
 508         Update copyright.
 509
 510 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 511
 512         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
 513         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
 514         rdelim) module.  See below.
 515
 516 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 517
 518         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
 519         include-deprecated-features is true.
 520
 521 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 522
 523         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
 524         unknown objects.
 525
 526         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
 527         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
 528         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 529
 530         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
 531         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
 532         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
 533         Köppe!
 534
 535 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 536
 537         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
 538         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
 539         variable, not just a visible one.
 540         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
 541         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
 542         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
 543         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
 544         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
 545         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
 546         variables.
 547         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
 548
 549         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
 550         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
 551
 552 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 553
 554         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
 555         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
 556
 557 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 558
 559         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
 560
 561 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 562
 563         Added exception notice to all files.
 564
 565         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
 566         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
 567         importing bindings once in a while.
 568
 569 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 570
 571         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
 572         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
 573         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 574         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
 575         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 576         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 577         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 578         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
 579         message.
 580         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
 581         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
 582
 583 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 584
 585         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
 586         fix command so that it works.
 587
 588         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
 589         to access unbound variables.
 590
 591         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
 592         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
 593         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
 594         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
 595         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
 596
 597 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 598
 599         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
 600         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
 601         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
 602         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
 603         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
 604         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
 605         argument for process-define-module.
 606         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
 607         arguments for process-use-modules.
 608         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
 609
 610 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 611
 612         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
 613         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
 614         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
 615         module.
 616
 617         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
 618         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
 619         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
 620
 621         * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.
 622
 623 2001-05-23  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 624
 625         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
 626         to feature lists.
 627         (cond-expand): Use feature information associated with modules.
 628
 629 2001-05-21  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 630
 631         * boot-9.scm (use-srfis): Do not extend the srfi-0 feature list.
 632         (cond-expand-provide): New procedure.
 633
 634 2001-05-22  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 635
 636         * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
 637         (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when
 638         getting the syntax transformer.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 639
 640 2001-05-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 641
 642         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
 643         deprecated features have been removed.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
 644
 645         * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
 646         `display'.
 647
 648 2001-05-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 649
 650         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
 651         * match.scm: Likewise.
 652         * expect.scm: Likewise.
 653         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 654
 655         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
 656
 657         * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
 658
 659         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
 660         set-current-module.
 661         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
 662         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
 663         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
 664         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
 665         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
 666         element list when adding "." to it.
 667         (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
 668         dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
 669
 670 2001-05-18  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 671
 672         * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
 673         cleanup; nfc.
 674         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
 675         now accepts arg; update callers.
 676         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
 677         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
 678
 679         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
 680         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
 681         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
 682         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
 683         `search-documentation-files'.
 684         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
 685         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.
 686         (help-usage): Mention support for "(help 'NAME)".
 687
 688         * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
 689         Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.
 690

 692         (search-documentation-files): New proc, exported.
 693         (object-documentation): Use `search-documentation-files'.
 694
 695 2001-05-15  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 696
 697         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
 698         so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.
 699         (use-srfis): New procedure.
 700
 701 2001-05-15  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 702
 703         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Signal error now also if
 704         used module's public interface is not available.
 705         No longer call `beautify-user-module!'.
 706         Signal error now also if selected binding not found.
 707
 708 2001-05-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 709
 710         Merge from mvo-vcell-clenaup-1-branch.
 711
 712         * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
 713         the module obarray.
 714         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
 715
 716         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
 717         the magical undefined value.
 718         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
 719         the default default for bindings.
 720
 721         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
 722         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 723         (root-module-closure): Removed.
 724         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 725         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.
 726         (scm-module-closure): Removed.
 727         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 728         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.  Set the
 729         eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
 730         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
 731         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 732         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
 733         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
 734         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
 735         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
 736         `set-current-module' call.
 737         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
 738         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.
 739
 740         * debug.scm: Use `module-set!' instead of `variable-set!' to set
 741         insert `debug-options' into the-root-module.

 745
 746         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-repl): Call the E
 747         ("eval'er") procedure via call-with-values and call the P

 751
 752         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Reduce feature list to built-in

1109         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1110         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1111         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1112         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1113         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1114         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1115         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.

1152 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1153
1154         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1155         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1156         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1157         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1158         scm-style-repl.
1159
1160 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1161
1162         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
1163         and open-output-pipe.
1164
1165 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1166
1167         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1168         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1169         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1170         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1171         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1172         Pirotte for the bug report).
1173         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1174         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

1176 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1177
1178         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.
1179         Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.

1186
1187         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
1188         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the

1195
1196 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1197
1198         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1199         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1200         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1201
1202         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1203         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1204         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1205         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1206         actual documentation entries themselves.

1215
1216 2000-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1217
1218         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
1219         Convert first argument to a string.
1220
1221         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
1222         getter-and-setter-syntax,
1223         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
1224         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)

1227
1228         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.

1235
1236         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
1237         `symbol-append'.
1238         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1239         args.
1240         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1241         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1242         even worked...  /mdj.
1243         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1244         `symbol->string'.
1245         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1246         semantics.
1247
1248 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1249
1250         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax

1254
1255         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to

1273         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1274         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1275         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1276         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1277         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1278
1279         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1280
1281 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1282
1283         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
1284         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1285
1286         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1287         syntactic bindings.
1288
1289         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1290         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1291         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
1292         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1293
1294         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
1295

1300
1301         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1302         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1303
1304 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1305
1306         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1307         definition of module-type.
1308
1309         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1310
1311         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1312
1313         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1314         lines.
1315         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1316         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1317
1318 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

1322 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1323
1324         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
1325         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
1326         Mikael for the suggestion.
1327
1328 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1329
1330         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1331         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1332
1333 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1334
1335         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1336         for export args.
1337
1338 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1339
1340         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
1341
1342 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1343
1344         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1345         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
1346         for the hint.
1347
1348         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
1349         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
1350         tail recursive yet.
1351
1352 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1353
1354         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1355         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1356
1357         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1358         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1359         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1360         See NEWS.
1361         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1362
1363         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1364

1369
1370 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1371
1372         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1373         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1374
1375 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1376
1377         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
1378         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1379
1380 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1381
1382         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1383
1384         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1385
1386         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1387
1388 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1389
1390         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1391         '() instead of #f.
1392         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1393         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1394         `the-root-module'.
1395         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1396
1397         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1398         documentation.scm.
1399
1400         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1401         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1402         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1403         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1404         (help): Rewritten.
1405
1406         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1407
1408         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1409
1410 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1411
1412         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1413         (write-all): Removed.

1417 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
1418
1419         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1420         `proc-documentation'
1421
1422         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
1423         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1424         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1425         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1426         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1427         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1428         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1429         getter...)
1430
1431 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1432

1436
1437         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1438         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
1439         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1440         closure.
1441
1442 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1443
1444         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
1445         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1446         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
1447         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
1448         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1449         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1450         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1451
1452 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1453
1454         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
1455         accept complex numbers as parameter.
1456
1457 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1458
1459         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1460         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
1461
1462 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1463
1464         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1465         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1466         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1467         instead of remove-if when iterating.
1468         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1469         delete-if! when iterating.
1470
1471 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1472
1473         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1474
1475 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1476
1477         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
1478
1479 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1480
1481         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1482         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
1483         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1484         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1485
1486 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1487
1488         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
1489         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1490
1491 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1492
1493         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
1494         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1495         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
1496         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
1497
1498 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1499
1500         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1501         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1502
1503 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1504
1505         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1506         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1507
1508 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1509
1510         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1511         Dirk Hermann!
1512
1513 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1514
1515         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1516         source of the numerous very short changes.
1517
1518 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1519
1520         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1521         public.
1522
1523         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1524         info pages.
1525
1526 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1527
1528         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1529         from slib docs.
1530
1531 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1532
1533         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1534         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1535
1536 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1537
1538         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1539         to string-append.
1540
1541 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1542
1543         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1544         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
1545         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1546
1547 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1548
1549         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1550         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1551         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
1552         Narazaki for this change.
1553
1554 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1555
1556         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1557         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1558         %S.
1559
1560         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1561         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1562
1563 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1564
1565         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1566         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1567
1568 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1569
1570         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1571         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1572         use define-public to export from the module.
1573
1574 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1575
1576         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1577         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1578         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1579
1580 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1581

1583
1584 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1585
1586         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1587         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1588
1589 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1590
1591         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1592
1593         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1594
1595         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1596
1597 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1598
1599         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1600         long_long uniform vectors.
1601
1602 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1603
1604         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1605         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
1606
1607 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1608
1609         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
1610         script to create generated files like this one.
1611
1612 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1613
1614         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1615         available before using getpw and getuid.
1616         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1617         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1618         check for stat.
1619         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1620         check for .guile, instead of stat.
1621         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1622         available.
1623         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
1624         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1625         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1626
1627         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
1628         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1629
1630         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1631
1632 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1633
1634         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
1635         than 'exit-debugger.
1636
1637         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1638         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1639
1640         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1641
1642 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1643
1644         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
1645         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1646         ("position"): New command.
1647         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1648         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.

1650         to return a valid state.)
1651         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
1652
1653 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1654
1655         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1656         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
1657         Badros.)
1658
1659 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1660
1661         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1662         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1663
1664 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1665
1666         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
1667
1668         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.

1680 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1681
1682         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1683         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1684
1685         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1686
1687 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1688
1689         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1690         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1691         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1692         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1693
1694         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1695         argument.
1696
1697         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1698         both forward and backward views of the stack
1699         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1700         Use selector `frame-number';
1701         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1702         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1703         Use (ice-9 debug).
1704         Use readline conditionally.
1705
1706 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1707
1708         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1709         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1710         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1711
1712         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1713         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
1714         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
1715
1716 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1717
1718         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1719
1720         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1721
1722         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1723
1724         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1725
1726 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1727
1728         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1729         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
1730         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
1731         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1732         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1733         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1734         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1735         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1736         libguile-config-stamp.
1737         * version.scm.in: Delete.
1738         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1739         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1740         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1741         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1742
1743 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1744
1745         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1746         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1747         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1748
1749         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1750         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1751         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1752         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
1753         readline.
1754
1755         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1756
1757 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1758
1759         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1760
1761 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1762
1763         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1764         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1765
1766 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1767
1768         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1769         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1770         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1771         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1772         objects starting with '#/'.
1773
1774 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1775
1776         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1777         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1778         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1779         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1780         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1781         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1782         `observer-id'.
1783         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1784         module-modified): New procedures.
1785         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1786         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1787
1788 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1789
1790         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1791         defines.
1792
1793 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1794
1795         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1796         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1797         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1798
1799         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1800         position.
1801
1802 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1803
1804         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1805         at multiple calls to read.
1806         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1807         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1808         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1809         continued-lines prompt.
1810
1811         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1812         reading expressions.
1813
1814 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1815
1816         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1817         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1818
1819 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1820
1821         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1822         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
1823         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1824
1825         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1826
1827         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1828         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1829
1830         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1831         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
1832         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1833         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1834         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1835         instead of a port.
1836
1837 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1838
1839         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1840         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1841
1842         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1843
1844         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
1845         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
1846         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1847         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1848
1849         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1850
1851         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1852
1853         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
1854         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1855         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
1856         an alist.
1857
1858         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1859
1860         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1861         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1862         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1863         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1864         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1865         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1866         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1867         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1868         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1869         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1870         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.

1872         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1873
1874         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1875         peeked from the stream.
1876         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1877         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1878         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1879
1880         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1881
1882         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1883         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1884
1885         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1886
1887         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1888         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
1889         exiting repl with single control-D.
1890
1891         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1892
1893         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1894         error catching loop after quit received.
1895         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1896
1897         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1898         primitive exit if non-interactive.
1899         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1900
1901         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1902         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1903         boot-9.scm.
1904         * popen.scm: new file.
1905
1906 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1907
1908        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
1909        (reverse-iota):  removed.
1910
1911 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1912
1913         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1914         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1915
1916 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1917
1918         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1919         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1920         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1921         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1922         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1923
1924 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1925
1926         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1927
1928         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1929         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1930
1931         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1932         Guile's module system.
1933
1934         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1935         changes:
1936         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1937         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1938         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1939         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
1940         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1941         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1942         modern CL behavior.
1943         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1944         '() when the condition is false.
1945
1946 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1947
1948         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1949
1950 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1951
1952         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1953
1954 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1955
1956         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1957         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1958         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1959
1960 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1961
1962         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1963         argument order for hash-fold.
1964
1965 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1966
1967         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
1968         resolve-module.
1969         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1970         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1971
1972         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1973         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1974         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1975         has been added to the load path).
1976
1977         Use try-load-module.
1978
1979 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1980
1981         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
1982         module between system and user state.
1983
1984 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1985
1986         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1987
1988         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1989         definition.
1990
1991 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1992
1993         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1994         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1995         system can create a wrapper class for it.
1996
1997 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1998
1999         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2000         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
2001         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2002         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2003         stack frame encountered.
2004
2005         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2006         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2007         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2008         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2009         list).]
2010
2011         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2012         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2013         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2014         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2015         please tell me!]
2016
2017         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2018         define-module switches:
2019
2020         (define-module (foo)
2021           :no-backtrace)
2022
2023         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2024         modules.
2025
2026         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2027         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2028         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2029         module it is a system frame.
2030
2031         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2032         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2033         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2034         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2035         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2036
2037         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2038         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
2039         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2040         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2041         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
2042         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2043
2044         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2045         status of a module.;
2046         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2047         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2048
2049         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2050         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2051         closure to the module.
2052
2053         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2054
2055 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2056
2057         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
2058
2059 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2060
2061         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
2062
2063 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2064
2065         Fix from Russ McManus:
2066         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2067         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2068         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2069         either an optional or required value.
2070
2071 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2072
2073         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2074
2075         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2076         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2077
2078         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2079         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2080         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2081         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2082
2083 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2084
2085         * optargs.scm: New file.
2086         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2087         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2088
2089 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2090
2091         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2092         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2093         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2094
2095 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2096
2097         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2098         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2099         for isn't loaded.
2100
2101 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2102
2103         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2104
2105 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2106
2107         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2108         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2109         applied to the module itself.
2110
2111 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2112
2113         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2114
2115         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2116         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2117
2118 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2119
2120         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2121
2122 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2123
2124         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2125
2126 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2127
2128         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2129         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2130
2131 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2132
2133         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2134         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2135         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2136         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2137         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2138         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2139         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2140
2141 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2142
2143         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2144         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2145
2146 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2147
2148         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2149         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2150         static libraries.
2151
2152 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2153
2154         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2155
2156 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2157
2158         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2159
2160 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2161
2162         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2163         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2164         adapt to the new hooks.
2165
2166 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2167
2168         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2169         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2170         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2171         code.
2172         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2173         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2174
2175         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2176         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2177         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2178         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2179         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2180         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2181         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2182         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2183         first to register linked modules.
2184
2185         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2186         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2187         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2188
2189         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2190         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2191         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2192         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2193
2194         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2195         to use from C:
2196         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2197         libguile/feature.c.
2198
2199         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2200         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2201         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2202
2203 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2204
2205         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2206         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2207         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2208
2209 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2210
2211         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2212         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2213         result of the last form.
2214
2215 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

2217         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2218         syncase.scm.
2219
2220         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2221
2222         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2223         readline-set!: New options interface.
2224
2225         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2226
2227 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2228
2229         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2230         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2231
2232 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2233
2234         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2235         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2236
2237 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2238
2239         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2240         interactive session.
2241         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2242
2243         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2244         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2245
2246 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2247
2248         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2249
2250 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2251
2252         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2253         read line was empty.
2254
2255 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2256
2257         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2258         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2259
2260         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2261
2262         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2263         problem.  Duh.
2264         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2265         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2266         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2267
2268         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2269         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2270         into...
2271         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2272         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2273         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2274
2275         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2276         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2277         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2278         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2279         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2280         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2281         psyntax.ss.
2282         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2283
2284         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2285         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2286
2287 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2288
2289         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2290         and short vectors #h(...).
2291
2292 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2293
2294         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2295         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2296         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2297
2298 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2299
2300         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2301         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2302         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2303
2304 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2305
2306         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2307         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2308
2309         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2310         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2311         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2312         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2313
2314 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2315
2316         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2317         trace flag.
2318
2319         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2320         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2321         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2322         context with traps enabled.
2323
2324 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2325
2326         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2327         module.
2328         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2329
2330 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2331
2332         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2333         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2334         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2335         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2336         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2337
2338 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2339
2340         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2341         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2342
2343 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2344
2345         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2346
2347 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2348
2349         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2350
2351 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2352
2353         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2354
2355 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2356
2357         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2358         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2359
2360 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2361
2362         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2363         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2364         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2365         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
2366         Archibald.)
2367
2368         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2369         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2370         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2371
2372 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2373
2374         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2375         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2376         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2377         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
2378         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2379         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2380         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2381
2382 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2383
2384         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2385
2386 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2387
2388         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2389         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2390         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
2391         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2392         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2393         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2394
2395 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2396
2397         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2398         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2399         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
2400         Steven G. Johnson.)
2401
2402 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2403
2404         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2405
2406 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2407
2408         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2409
2410 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2411
2412         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2413         be completed.
2414
2415 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2416
2417         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2418
2419 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2420
2421         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2422         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2423
2424 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2425
2426         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2427         similar in use to `use-modules'.
2428         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2429         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2430         transformer.
2431         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2432         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2433
2434 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2435
2436         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2437
2438 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2439
2440         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2441         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2442         completion.
2443
2444         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2445         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2446
2447         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2448         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2449         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2450
2451         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2452
2453 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2454
2455         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2456
2457         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2458         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2459
2460 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2461
2462         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2463
2464 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2465
2466         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
2467         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2468
2469         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2470
2471         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
2472         obsolete.
2473
2474 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2475
2476         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2477         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2478
2479 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2480
2481         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2482
2483 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2484
2485         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
2486         Stachowiak.)
2487
2488 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2489
2490         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2491         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
2492         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2493         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2494         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2495         threads.
2496
2497 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2498
2499         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2500         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2501         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2502
2503 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2504
2505         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2506
2507         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2508         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2509
2510 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2511
2512         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2513         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2514         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2515         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2516         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
2517         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2518         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2519         to go here.
2520
2521 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2522
2523         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2524         is now a fluid.
2525
2526 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2527
2528         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2529         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2530         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
2531         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
2532         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2533         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2534
2535 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2536
2537         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2538         usefully so they will work from a script.
2539
2540 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2541
2542         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2543         neighborhood of the record code.
2544
2545 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2546
2547         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
2548         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2549         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2550         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2551
2552 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2553
2554         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2555         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2556         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2557
2558 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2559
2560         Add support for readline function.
2561         * readline.scm: New module.
2562         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2563         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2564         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2565         anything.
2566         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2567         repl-reader to use them.
2568         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2569

2587         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2588         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
2589

2615
2616         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2617         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2618         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2619         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2620         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2621         boot-9.scm.
2622         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2623         distribution and installation.
2624         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2631
2632         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2633         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
2634         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2635
2636         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2637         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2638         symbol.
2639
2640 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2650         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2651         field a separate argument.
2652
2653         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2654

2669         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2670         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2671         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2672         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2673         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
2674         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2675         registered.
2676         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2677         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2678         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2679         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2680         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2681         link a .so-file.

2693
2694         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2695
2696         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2697         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2698         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
2699         expansion inside the slib module.
2700
2701         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

2709         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2710
2711         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2712         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2713         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2714         source.
2715         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2716         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2717         been loaded.
2718
2719 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

2729         mutator for module-associated transformer.

2732         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
2733         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
2734         module.
2735         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
2736
2737 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2738
2739         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2740
2741         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2742         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2743         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2744         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2745         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2746
2747         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2748         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2749         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2750         syncase macros.
2751         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2752         the syncase interface.

2755
2756         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2757         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2758         workings of the current module system).
2759
2760 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2761
2762         * psyntax.ss: Updated.

2773
2774         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2775         according to the following priorities:
2776         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2777         2. bindings from the-scm-module
2778         3. tcl bindings
2779         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2780         disabling the scheme interpreter.
2781         (new-interpreter): New function.
2782
2783         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2784         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2785         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

2802
2803         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2804         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
2805         source!
2806

2817
2818         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2819         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2820         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2821         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2822         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2823         result protocol;

2838
2839         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2840         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2841         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2842
2843         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.

2860
2861         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2862         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2863         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2864
2865         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2866         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2867         the top.
2868
2869         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in

2888
2889         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2890         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
2891         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.

2911
2912         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.

2914 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2915
2916         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
2917         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
2918         notation, instead of #/ notation.
2919
2920         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
2921         make-regexp.
2922
2923 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2924
2925         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2926         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2927         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
2928         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2929         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2930         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2931
2932         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2933         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2934         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2935         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2936
2937 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2938
2939         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2940         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
2941         sending in bug reports.
2942         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2943         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2944         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2945         display a warning if the two are different.
2946         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2947         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2948         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2949
2950 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2951
2952         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
2953
2954 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2955
2956         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2957         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2958
2959         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2960         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2961         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2962         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2963         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2964         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2965         that's okay.
2966
2967         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
2968         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2969         regexp interface.
2970
2971         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2972         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
2973
2974         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2975         function names.
2976
2977         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2978         fixes.
2979
2980 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2981
2982         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2983         ../configure.in.
2984
2985 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2986
2987         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2988         vtable and not the one of the struct.
2989
2990 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2991
2992         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2993         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2994         to support printing of structures.
2995         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2996         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
2997         commented out printing code.
2998         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2999         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".

3001 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3002
3003         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3004
3005 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3006
3007         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3008         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3009         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3010         during call to scm-style-repl.
3011
3012 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3013
3014         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3015         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3016         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3017         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3018         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3019
3020 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3021
3022         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3023         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3024         (ice-9 regex).
3025
3026 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3027
3028         * regex.scm: New file.
3029         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3030         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3031
3032 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3033
3034         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

3042         in 1997.
3043
3044 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3045
3046         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3047         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3048         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3049
3050 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3051
3052         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3053         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3054         here.
3055
3056 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3057
3058         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

3065
3066         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3067         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3068         fixes this too.
3069
3070 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3071
3072         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3073         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3074         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3075
3076 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3077
3078         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3079         the Scheme code like code yet.
3080         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3081
3082 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3083
3084         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3085         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3086         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3087
3088 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3089
3090         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3091         use-modules macro
3092         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3093         can't be found.
3094
3095 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3096
3097         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.

3099 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3100
3101         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3102
3103         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3104         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3105         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3106
3107 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3108
3109         Get 'make dist' to work again.
3110         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3111         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
3112
3113         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3114         no plugins.
3115         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3116         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3117

3119
3120         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New

3124
3125         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
3126
3127 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3128
3129         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3130         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
3131
3132 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3133
3134         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3135         instead of in libguile.
3136         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3137         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3138
3139 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3140
3141         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3142         procedures.
3143         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3144         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3145
3146 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3147
3148         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3149         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3150
3151 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3152
3153         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3154         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3155         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3156         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3157
3158 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3159
3160         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3161         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3162
3163 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3164
3165         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3166

3168
3169         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3170         keywords and symbols.
3171
3172 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3173
3174         * slib.scm: update read usage.
3175
3176         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3177         Don't define read-sharp.
3178
3179         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3180         (read-sharp): removed.
3181         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3182         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3183
3184 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3185
3186         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3187
3188         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by

3190
3191         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3192         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3193
3194 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3195
3196         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3197
3198 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3199
3200         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3201
3202 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3203
3204         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3205         read gets EOF.
3206         * (exit): alias for quit.
3207
3208 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3209
3210         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3211         return the quit args.
3212         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3213         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3214         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3215
3216         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3217
3218 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3219
3220         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3221
3222         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3223         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3224
3225         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3226         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3227
3228         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3229         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3230         of handlers.
3231
3232 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3233
3234         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3235
3236         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3237         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3238         Change hooks to use these functions.
3239
3240         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3241         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3242         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3243         the source! :-)
3244         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3245         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3246         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3247         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3248         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3249         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3250         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3251         traced.
3252
3253         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3254         and exit-frame exceptions.
3255
3256         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3257         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3258         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3259         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3260         result; otherwise display "> ".
3261         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3262
3263         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3264         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3265         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3266         repository version runnable.
3267
3268 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3269
3270         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3271         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3272         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3273         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3274         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3275         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3276
3277 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3278
3279         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3280         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3281         and eval.
3282         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3283         "defined?".
3284         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3285         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3286
3287 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3288
3289         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3290
3291 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3292
3293         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3294         %read-sharp layer.
3295
3296 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3297
3298         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3299         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3300
3301 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3302
3303         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3304         backtrace.c.)
3305
3306 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3307
3308         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3309         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3310
3311 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3312
3313         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3314
3315         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3316         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3317         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3318         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3319         dynamic linking of modules.
3320         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3321         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3322
3323 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3324
3325         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3326
3327 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3328
3329         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3330         that's what it is.
3331
3332         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3333         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3334         was false.
3335
3336 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3337
3338         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3339         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3340         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3341
3342 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3343
3344         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3345         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
3346         yet.
3347
3348 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3349
3350         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3351         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3352         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3353
3354 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3355
3356         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3357         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3358         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3359         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3360
3361         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3362         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3363         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3364         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3365         (such as the-scm-module).
3366
3367 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3368
3369         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3370         %search-load-path.
3371
3372 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
3373
3374         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3375         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3376         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3377
3378 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3379
3380         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3381         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3382         function, use it accordingly.
3383
3384 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3385
3386         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
3387         function of no arguments.
3388         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3389         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3390         set-current-module): Uses changed.
3391         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3392         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3393         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3394         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3395         *top-level-eval-closure*.
3396
3397 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3398
3399         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3400         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3401
3402 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3403
3404         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3405         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3406         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
3407         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
3408         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3409
3410         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3411         `*features*'.
3412
3413         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3414         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
3415         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3416         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3417
3418         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3419
3420         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3421
3422         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3423         If the user wants to see this, he can do
3424         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3425
3426         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3427         error.
3428
3429         Added `before-read-hook'.
3430
3431         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3432
3433         (provide): New function.
3434
3435         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3436         in backtraces.
3437
3438         (backtrace): New function.
3439
3440         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3441         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3442         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
3443         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3444         is found in operator position in a frame.
3445
3446         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3447         by default.
3448
3449         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3450         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3451         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3452
3453         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
3454
3455         (library-vicinity): Updated.
3456
3457         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3458
3459         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3460
3461 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3462
3463         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3464
3465         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3466         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
3467
3468         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3469         so they'll get distributed.
3470
3471         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
3472         should see as little clutter as possible.
3473         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3474         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3475         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3476
3477         * r4rs.scm: New file.
3478         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3479         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3480         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3481         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3482         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3483         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3484         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3485         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3486         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3487         that are not.
3488         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3489         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3490
3491         * test.scm: New file.
3492
3493         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3494         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
3495         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3496
3497         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3498         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3499
3500         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3501         work now.
3502         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
3503         call %load-announce.
3504
3505 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3506
3507         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3508         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3509         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3510         components.
3511         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3512
3513 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3514
3515         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3516         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3517         SCSH (which this isn't).
3518
3519 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3520
3521         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3522
3523 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3524
3525         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3526         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3527         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3528         these.
3529         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
3530         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
3531         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3532         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3533         save-stack.
3534
3535 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3536
3537         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3538
3539         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3540
3541         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3542         error-catching-loop.
3543         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3544         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3545         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3546
3547         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3548         error-catching-loop.
3549
3550 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3551
3552         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3553         (make-module): Rework for readability.
3554         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3555         should be '(), not #f.
3556
3557         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3558         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3559
3560 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3561
3562         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3563         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3564         error-signal.
3565
3566 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3567
3568         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3569         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3570         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3571         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3572
3573 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3574
3575         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3576
3577 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3578
3579         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3580
3581         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3582         throw-handler-default.
3583         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3584         reported.
3585         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3586         acro.
3587         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3588         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3589
3590 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3591
3592         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3593         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3594         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3595         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3596

3598
3599         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3600         Append "." to the default %load-path.
3601         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3602         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3603         ...))
3604         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3605         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3606         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3607         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3608         file-is-directory?
3609
3610 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3611
3612         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3613
3614         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3615         distribution.
3616
3617         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3618         `switch-repl'.
3619
3620         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3621
3622 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3623
3624         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3625         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3626
3627 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3628
3629         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3630
3631         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3632
3633 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3634
3635         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
3636         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3637         Don't set up 'error as a key.
3638         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3639         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3640
3641         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3642         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3643         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3644         they seem redundant.
3645         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3646         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
3647         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3648         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
3649         directly files starting with "/").
3650         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3651         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3652
3653         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3654
3655 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3656
3657         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3658         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3659         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
3660         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3661         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3662         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3663         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
3664         robust to just do it in the C code.
3665
3666 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3667
3668         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
3669         %try-load itself was the primitive.
3670         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3671         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3672         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3673
3674 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3675
3676         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3677         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3678         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3679
3680 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3681
3682         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3683         system-error, not every kind of error.
3684         (scm-error): new procedure.
3685
3686 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3687
3688         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3689
3690 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3691
3692         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3693         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
3694         of args are supplied.
3695         (%%system-errors): removed.
3696         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3697         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3698         %%handle-system-error.
3699         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3700         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3701         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3702         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3703
3704 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3705
3706         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3707         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3708         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3709         %S (embed an argument using "write").
3710
3711 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3712
3713         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3714         the empty list if they are #f.
3715         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3716
3717 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3718
3719         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3720
3721         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3722         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3723         aborting, just the key and subr.
3724         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3725         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3726         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
3727
3728 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3729
3730         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3731         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
3732         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3733         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3734         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
3735
3736 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3737
3738         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
3739         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
3740         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
3741         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
3742
3743 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3744
3745         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
3746         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
3747         initialize %load-path.
3748
3749         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3750         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
3751
3752 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3753
3754         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3755         Add the directory named after the version number.
3756         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
3757         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
3758         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
3759         sitedatadir): New definitions.

3764
3765 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3766
3767         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3768         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3769         in the Makefile directly.
3770         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3771         for these.
3772         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
3773         aux_files.

3785
3786         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
3787         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)

3803         (%open-file): removed.
3804         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
3805         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
3806
3807 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3808
3809         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
3810         (manifest): Deleted.
3811         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

3813
3814 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3815
3816         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
3817         now that they throw errors directly.

3819         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
3820
3821 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3822
3823         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
3824
3825 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>
3826
