ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 2003-09-15  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
   2
   3         * format.scm (format): Rewritten as a big letrec to make it
   4         reentrant.  No mutex is necessary.  Thanks to Clinton Ebadi!
   5
   6 2003-09-13  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
   7
   8         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?): Use stat rather than access?, so as to
   9         follow the effective UID/GID not the real ID.  file-exists? is
  10         normally used as a prelude to opening or some other operation, and
  11         it's the effective ID which will apply there.  Emacs file-exists-p
  12         uses stat, presumably for the the same reason.
  13
  14 2003-09-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  15
  16         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Use a proper hashtable as
  17         the obarray, not an empty vector.
  18         (make-module): Always construct a hashtable for the obarray, even
  19         for empty ones.
  20
  21         * format.scm (format:error): Use 'format:format' instead of
  22         'format' since the latter will lock the mutex again that we have
  23         already locked.
  24         (format:format-work): Flag multiple '#' as an error.
  25
  26 2003-08-17  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  27
  28         * boot-9.scm (while): Use a new key dynamically for each loop, so
  29         break and continue associate to their loop even when recursing.
  30
  31 2003-08-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  32
  33         * boot-9.scm (while): Rewrite, continue as proper escape, break
  34         without return value, break and continue new for each while form,
  35         don't depend on bindings in expansion environment.
  36
  37         * popen.scm (open-process): Close input-fdes, output-fdes and
  38         error-fdes after duping them to 0, 1 and 2.
  39
  40 2003-06-19  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  41
  42         * threads.scm (parallel): For no forms, use `(values)' not `(begin)'.
  43

  45
  46         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Added missing quote around
  47         vector constant.
  48

  50
  51         * deprecated.scm (list*): Added.
  52
  53 2003-05-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  54
  55         * documentation.scm (file-commentary, find-documentation-in-file): Use
  56         call-with-input-file, to close ports when done.
  57
  58 2003-05-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  59
  60         * gap-buffer.scm (point++n!, point+-n!): Use substring-move!

  64         * deprecated.scm (substring-move-left!, substring-move-right!):
  65         New.
  66
  67         * boot-9.scm (display-usage-report): Use keyword->symbol instead
  68         of keyword-symbol, which doesn't exist.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde.
  69
  70         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-get-handle): Pass only the expected four
  71         arguments to hashx-get-handle.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde!
  72
  73         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port) Pass 0 as second
  74         argument to string-ref.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde!

 105
 106         * format.scm (format:out-substr): Update the column counter
 107         correctly. This fixes the behavior of ~T (tabbing) after ~F, for
 108         instance.  Thanks to Matthias Koeppe!
 109
 110 2003-03-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

 117         and merge-accessors handlers are available also before (oop goops)
 118         has been loaded.  This is so that people can put them as default
 119         handlers without worrying about availability.
 120
 121         * slib.scm (logical:ipow-by-squaring): Removed.

 142
 143         * boot-9.scm (defmacro-public): Use export-syntax instead of export.
 144
 145         * slib.scm (*features*): Set the core variable instead of defining
 146         a local version.
 147         (provide, provided?): Mark as replacements.
 148
 149         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't install the duplicates
 150         handler here.
 151         (default-duplicate-binding-handler): Renamed from
 152         default-module-duplicates-handler; Removed converter.

 154         (default-duplicate-binding-procedures): New parameter.
 155
 156 2003-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
 157
 158         * slib.scm (identity): Removed.  (Provided by core.)
 159
 160 2003-03-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 161
 162         * debugger/command-loop.scm: Prefix all commands imported from

 168         appropriately.
 169         (module-use!, module-use-interfaces!): Remove existing interfaces
 170         on the use-list based on module name rather than interface
 171         identity so that custom interfaces truly replaces their previous
 172         version.

 201
 202         * boot-9.scm (make-module): Changed default size from 1021 to 31
 203         (since the size now adapts).
 204         (macro-table, xformer-table): Changed default size from 523 to 61.

 214
 215 2003-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 216
 217         * boot-9.scm (make-hash-table): Turned primitive.
 218
 219 2003-01-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 220
 221         * syncase.scm (guile-macro): Strip syntactic information from
 222         expression before trying to treat it as a Guile macro call.
 223         (Thanks to Kevin Ryde.)
 224
 225 2003-01-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 226
 227         * threads.scm (parallel, letpar): Rewritten.

 232         futures.
 233
 234 2003-01-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 235
 236         * occam-channel.scm (alt): New syntax.
 237
 238         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Removed.  Guile now provides this
 239         operator as a primitive procedure.
 240         (build-data): Quote vectors (psyntax.ss requires this).
 241
 242 2003-01-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 243
 244         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Allow procedures implanted in
 245         source.  (Guile uses this internally.)
 246
 247 2003-01-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 248
 249         * psyntax.ss (build-data): Don't quote self-evaluating expressions
 250         in output.  (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be
 251         quoted, but until Guile's native macros and syncase cooperates
 252         better, it is less destructive not to quote.)
 253         (self-evaluating?): Removed null? (In Guile, the empty list is not
 254         self-evaluating).
 255         (sc-chi): Export chi as sc-chi.
 256         (external-macro): New syntax type.
 257
 258         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 259
 260         * compile-psyntax.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure.
 261
 262         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Return *unspecified*.
 263
 264         * syncase.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure to
 265         the-syncase-eval-closure during booting so that variables are
 266         created in the correct module.
 267         (syncase): Set expansion-eval-closure.
 268         (define-syntax define-syntax-public eval-when fluid-let-syntax
 269         identifier-syntax let-syntax letrec-syntax syntax syntax-case
 270         syntax-rules with-syntax include): Removed definitions (these are
 271         created from within psyntax.pp).
 272         Enable expansion of Guile macros during a syntax-case
 273         transformation.
 274
 275 2003-01-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 276
 277         * occam-channel.scm (make-channel): Renamed from channel.
 278         (make-timer): New function.
 279
 280         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added occam-channel.scm.
 281
 282         * occam-channel.scm: New file.  Implements occam-like channels.
 283
 284 2002-12-28  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 285
 286         * boot-9.scm (module-defined-hook): New hook, run whenever a new
 287         module is defined.
 288         (process-define-module): Run this hook.
 289
 290 2002-12-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
 291
 292         * threads.scm: Removed bogus definition of future-ref.
 293
 294 2002-12-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 295
 296         * threads.scm (par-map, par-for-each): Reimplemented using
 297         joing-thread.
 298         (parallel): Reimplemented using futures.
 299         (n-par-map, n-for-each): New procedures.
 300

 304         (parse-arglist): Use it instead of list-copy.
 305
 306 2002-12-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 307

 310 2002-12-08  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 311
 312         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION ->
 313         GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
 314
 315         * debugger/Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION ->
 316         GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
 317
 318         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION -> GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
 319
 320 2002-12-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

 322         * threads.scm (parallel): New macro.
 323          (par-map, par-for-each): New procedures.
 324
 325         * documentation.scm (object-documentation): Added support for

 334
 335         Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
 336         following changes:
 337
 338         * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
 339
 340         (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
 341         %system-define.
 342
 343         * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
 344         until Guile supports hygienic macros.
 345
 346 2002-11-17  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 347
 348         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
 349         has been removed from the core.
 350
 351 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 352
 353         * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
 354         identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
 355         syntax-rules, with-syntax, include):  Changed definitions to form
 356         'real' macro definitions.
 357
 358 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 359
 360         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 361         Fixed my previous fix (blush).
 362
 363 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 364
 365         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 366         Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
 367
 368 2002-11-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 369
 370         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition
 371         needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.
 372
 373 2002-11-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 374
 375         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"
 376         change below.

 378         * debugger/breakpoints/source.scm: Enable source property
 379         recording when module is loaded.
 380         (##): Cope with ports whose `filename' is not a string.
 381

 383
 384         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Simplify code-generation
 385         code.
 386
 387         * debugger/command-loop.scm (read-and-dispatch-command): Import
 388         set-readline-prompt dynamically if we need to.  (Previous
 389         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
 390         readline).)
 391
 392 2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 398
 399         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'.  This
 400         value will be returned by join-thread.
 401

 403
 404         Merging debugger enhancements previously in separate
 405         `guile-debugger' package ...
 406
 407         * debugger.scm: Factored out into the following constituent parts
 408         - see comment in file for more details.
 409         (*not-yet-introduced*): New (avoids repeatedly introducing the
 410         debugger when entering it from breakpoints).
 411         (debug-stack): New.
 412         (debug): Rewrite to use more general `debug-stack'.

 415         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits

 424         location in a way that is more easily trackable by Emacs.
 425
 426         * debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
 427         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
 428         execution from a breakpoint.
 429
 430         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,

 441
 442         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Do not call unmask-signals, that
 443         should be unnecessary now.
 444
 445 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 446
 447         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
 448         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
 449         the-root-module.
 450
 451 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 452
 453         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
 454         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and
 455         call-with-unblocked-asyncs instead of mask-signals and
 456         unmask-signals.
 457
 458 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 459

 464
 465         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
 466         >= 0.
 467
 468 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 469
 470         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to
 471         limit the signal stack.
 472
 473 2002-09-15  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 474
 475         * boot-9.scm (feature?): Added deprecation message.
 476
 477 2002-09-14  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 478
 479         * boot-9.scm (sqrt): minor indentation fix.
 480
 481 2002-09-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 482
 483         * syncase.scm: Set the module transformer of the-syncase-module so
 484         that we can use define-syntax.
 485         (define-syntax-public): New and exported.
 486

 490         (sc-macro): Set the expansion-eval-closure expanding the form.
 491         (putprop, getprop): Use the expansion-eval-closure to find
 492         variables instead of the current module.
 493
 494 2002-07-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 495
 496         * slib.scm (make-exchanger): Added.  Thanks to Clinton Ebadi!

 505         * boot-9.scm (file-set-position): Make third argument optional,
 506         for SCM compatibility.

 508

 510

 520
 521 2002-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 522
 523         * format.scm (format:fn-max): Increase to 400 so ~f and ~g can
 524         print long real numbers with large positive and negative
 525         exponents.
 526
 527 2002-05-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 528

 532
 533         * gap-buffer.scm: New file.
 534

 549
 550         * Makefile.am: Update path to pre-inst-guile automake frag.

 555 2002-02-24  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 556
 557         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
 558         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
 559         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
 560
 561         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.
 562

 573 2002-01-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 574
 575         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
 576         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
 577         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
 578         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
 579
 580 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 581
 582         More options for pretty-print.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!

 584         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
 585         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
 586         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
 587
 588 2001-11-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 589
 590         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have
 591         these in the core.
 592
 593 2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 594
 595         * boot-9.scm (turn-on-debugging): New function, to be used by
 596         scm_compile_shell_switches.
 597
 598         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
 599         positions.
 600
 601 2001-10-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 602
 603         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 604         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 605         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 606
 607         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,
 608           channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,

 613           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
 614           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 615           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 616           exporting bindings.
 617
 618 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 619
 620         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
 621         :re-export-syntax
 622
 623 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 624
 625         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 626         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 627         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 628         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 629
 630 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 631
 632         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
 633         %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,
 634         %%apropos-internal): Use module-define! instead of
 635         builtin-variable.
 636
 637 2001-09-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 638
 639         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.
 640
 641 2001-09-19  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>
 642
 643         * expect.scm: Commentary fix; nfc.
 644
 645         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
 646
 647 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 648
 649         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 650         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
 651
 652 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 653
 654         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 655         the `arglist' procedure property.
 656         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 657         present a more detailed argument list.
 658
 659         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 660
 661 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 662
 663         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
 664         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel
 665         Skarda.
 666
 667 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 668
 669         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
 670
 671         (feature?): Deprecated.
 672
 673         (id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags,
 674         eval-in-module, split-c-module-name,

 681
 682         (module-make-local-var!, module-ensure-local-variable!,
 683         module-define!): Eliminate call to `variable-set-name-hint!´.
 684
 685         (try-load-module, use-syntax, module-export!): Remove deprecated
 686         functionality.
 687
 688         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
 689         needed to trick export.
 690
 691 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 692
 693         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.
 694
 695 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 696
 697         * and-let-star-compat.scm:  Deleted.
 698
 699         * Makefile.am: Remove references to and-let-star-compat.scm.
 700
 701 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 702
 703         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
 704         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
 705         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
 706
 707 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 708
 709         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
 710         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
 711
 712 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 713
 714         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".
 715
 716 2001-08-12  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 717
 718         * getopt-long.scm: Rewrite.
 719         Touch up docstrings.
 720         Augment commentary.
 721
 722 2001-08-02  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 723
 724         * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
 725         last-command fluid is not yet set.
 726
 727 2001-08-02  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 728
 729         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
 730
 731         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
 732         value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
 733         next element is to be taken as the option arg.
 734
 735 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
 736
 737         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
 738         handle :use-syntax correctly.
 739
 740 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 741
 742         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
 743         compile-psyntax.scm.
 744
 745 2001-07-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 746
 747         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
 748         maintainer mode.  Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
 749         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
 750         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
 751         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
 752
 753 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 754
 755         * and-let-star.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm, history.scm,
 756         lineio.scm, null.scm, optargs.scm, r4rs.scm, r5rs.scm,
 757         receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
 758
 759 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 760
 761         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 762         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
 763
 764 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 765
 766         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
 767         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
 768         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
 769         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
 770
 771         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 772         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
 773         since there aren't definitions for them.
 774
 775         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
 776         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
 777
 778 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 779
 780         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
 781         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
 782
 783 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 784
 785         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
 786         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
 787
 788 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 789
 790         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
 791         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
 792         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
 793
 794 2001-06-30  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

 803         is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
 804
 805         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
 806         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
 807         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
 808         New.
 809
 810 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 811
 812         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
 813         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
 814
 815 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 816
 817         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
 818         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
 819
 820         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
 821         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
 822         evaluator trap options.)
 823
 824 2001-06-25  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 825
 826         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.

 837
 838         * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
 839         `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
 840
 841 2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 842
 843         * match.scm:
 844         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
 845         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
 846         No longer require `pretty-print'.
 847
 848         (slib:error): Delete.
 849         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
 850
 851         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.

 860 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 861
 862         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
 863         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
 864         rdelim) module.  See below.
 865
 866 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 867
 868         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
 869         include-deprecated-features is true.
 870
 871 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 872
 873         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
 874         unknown objects.
 875
 876         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
 877         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
 878         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 879
 880         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
 881         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
 882         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
 883         Köppe!
 884
 885 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 886
 887         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
 888         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
 889         variable, not just a visible one.
 890         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
 891         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
 892         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
 893         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
 894         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
 895         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
 896         variables.
 897         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
 898
 899         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
 900         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
 901
 902 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 903
 904         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
 905         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
 906
 907 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 908
 909         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
 910
 911 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 912
 913         Added exception notice to all files.
 914
 915         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
 916         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
 917         importing bindings once in a while.
 918
 919 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 920
 921         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
 922         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
 923         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 924         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
 925         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 926         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 927         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 928         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
 929         message.
 930         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
 931         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
 932
 933 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 934
 935         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
 936         fix command so that it works.
 937
 938         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
 939         to access unbound variables.
 940
 941         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
 942         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
 943         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
 944         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
 945         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
 946
 947 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 948
 949         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
 950         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
 951         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
 952         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
 953         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
 954         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
 955         argument for process-define-module.
 956         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
 957         arguments for process-use-modules.
 958         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
 959
 960 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 961
 962         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
 963         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
 964         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
 965         module.
 966
 967         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
 968         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
 969         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
 970
 971         * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.

 973 2001-05-23  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 974
 975         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
 976         to feature lists.
 977         (cond-expand): Use feature information associated with modules.
 978
 979 2001-05-21  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 980
 981         * boot-9.scm (use-srfis): Do not extend the srfi-0 feature list.
 982         (cond-expand-provide): New procedure.
 983
 984 2001-05-22  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 985
 986         * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
 987         (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when
 988         getting the syntax transformer.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 989
 990 2001-05-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 991
 992         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
 993         deprecated features have been removed.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
 994
 995         * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
 996         `display'.
 997
 998 2001-05-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 999
1000         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
1001         * match.scm: Likewise.
1002         * expect.scm: Likewise.
1003         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
1004
1005         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
1006
1007         * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
1008
1009         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
1010         set-current-module.
1011         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
1012         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
1013         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
1014         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
1015         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
1016         element list when adding "." to it.
1017         (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
1018         dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
1019
1020 2001-05-18  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1021
1022         * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
1023         cleanup; nfc.
1024         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
1025         now accepts arg; update callers.
1026         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
1027         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
1028
1029         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
1030         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
1031         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
1032         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
1033         `search-documentation-files'.
1034         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
1035         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.
1036         (help-usage): Mention support for "(help 'NAME)".
1037
1038         * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
1039         Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.

1046
1047         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
1048         so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.
1049         (use-srfis): New procedure.
1050
1051 2001-05-15  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1052
1053         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Signal error now also if
1054         used module's public interface is not available.
1055         No longer call `beautify-user-module!'.

1057
1058 2001-05-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

1061
1062         * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
1063         the module obarray.
1064         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
1065
1066         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
1067         the magical undefined value.
1068         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
1069         the default default for bindings.
1070
1071         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
1072         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
1073         (root-module-closure): Removed.
1074         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
1075         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.
1076         (scm-module-closure): Removed.
1077         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
1078         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.  Set the
1079         eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
1080         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
1081         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
1082         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
1083         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
1084         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
1085         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
1086         `set-current-module' call.
1087         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
1088         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.
1089
1090         * debug.scm: Use `module-set!' instead of `variable-set!' to set
1091         insert `debug-options' into the-root-module.

1118         `module-public-interface'.
1119         (resolve-interface): Extend to handle selection and renaming in spec.
1120         Arg is now `spec' which can be a simple module name (list of symbols)
1121         or a interface spec.
1122         (symbol-prefix-proc): New proc.
1123         (%autoloader-developer-mode): Delete.
1124         (process-define-module): Use "define-module" in error messages
1125         instead of "defmodule".  Factor error into internal proc.
1126         Rewrite `use-module' and `use-syntax' handlers.
1127         Replace some single-arm `if-not' constructs w/ `or'.
1128         (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
1129         which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
1130         (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use
1131         `provided?'.

1144
1145 2001-05-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1146
1147         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Change error message to say
1148         `use-syntax' rather than `use-modules'.
1149

1444         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).

1459         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1460         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1461         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1462         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1463         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1464         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1465         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.

1519         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1520         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1521         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1522         Pirotte for the bug report).
1523         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1524         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

1527
1528         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.
1529         Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.

1536
1537         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
1538         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the

1547
1548         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1549         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1550         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1551
1552         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1553         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1554         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1555         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1556         actual documentation entries themselves.

1563
1564         * syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.
1565
1566 2000-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1567
1568         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
1569         Convert first argument to a string.
1570
1571         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
1572         getter-and-setter-syntax,

1574         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)

1577
1578         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.

1585
1586         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
1587         `symbol-append'.
1588         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1589         args.
1590         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1591         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1592         even worked...  /mdj.
1593         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1594         `symbol->string'.
1595         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1596         semantics.
1597
1598 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1599
1600         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
1601         form set!.

1604
1605         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to

1623         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1624         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1625         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1626         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1627         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1628
1629         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1630
1631 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1632
1633         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
1634         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1635
1636         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1637         syntactic bindings.
1638
1639         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1640         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1641         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
1642         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1643
1644         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.

1650
1651         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1652         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1653
1654 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1655
1656         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1657         definition of module-type.
1658
1659         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1660
1661         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1662
1663         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1664         lines.
1665         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1666         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1667
1668 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1669

1671
1672 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1673
1674         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
1675         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
1676         Mikael for the suggestion.
1677
1678 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1679
1680         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1681         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1682
1683 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1684
1685         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1686         for export args.
1687
1688 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1689
1690         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
1691
1692 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1693
1694         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1695         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
1696         for the hint.
1697
1698         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
1699         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
1700         tail recursive yet.
1701
1702 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1703
1704         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1705         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1706
1707         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1708         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1709         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1710         See NEWS.
1711         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1712
1713         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1714
1715 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1716
1717         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1718         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1719
1720 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1721
1722         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1723         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1724
1725 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1726
1727         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
1728         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1729
1730 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1731
1732         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1733
1734         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1735
1736         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1737
1738 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1739
1740         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1741         '() instead of #f.
1742         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1743         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1744         `the-root-module'.
1745         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1746
1747         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1748         documentation.scm.
1749
1750         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1751         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1752         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1753         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1754         (help): Rewritten.
1755
1756         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1757
1758         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1759
1760 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1761
1762         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1763         (write-all): Removed.
1764         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
1765         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
1766
1767 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
1768
1769         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1770         `proc-documentation'
1771
1772         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
1773         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1774         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1775         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1776         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1777         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1778         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1779         getter...)
1780
1781 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1782
1783         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.

1785 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1786
1787         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1788         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
1789         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1790         closure.
1791
1792 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1793
1794         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
1795         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1796         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
1797         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
1798         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1799         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1800         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1801
1802 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1803
1804         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
1805         accept complex numbers as parameter.
1806
1807 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1808
1809         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1810         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
1811
1812 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1813
1814         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1815         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1816         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1817         instead of remove-if when iterating.
1818         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1819         delete-if! when iterating.
1820
1821 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1822
1823         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1824
1825 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1826
1827         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
1828
1829 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1830
1831         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1832         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
1833         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1834         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1835
1836 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1837
1838         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
1839         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1840
1841 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1842
1843         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
1844         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1845         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
1846         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
1847
1848 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1849
1850         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1851         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1852
1853 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1854
1855         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1856         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1857
1858 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1859

1864
1865         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1866         source of the numerous very short changes.

1868 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1869
1870         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1871         public.
1872
1873         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1874         info pages.
1875
1876 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

1883         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1884         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1885
1886 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1887
1888         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1889         to string-append.
1890
1891 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1892
1893         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1894         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
1895         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1896
1897 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1898
1899         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1900         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1901         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
1902         Narazaki for this change.
1903
1904 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1905
1906         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1907         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1908         %S.
1909
1910         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1911         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1912
1913 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1914
1915         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1916         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1917
1918 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1919
1920         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1921         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1922         use define-public to export from the module.
1923
1924 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1925
1926         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1927         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1928         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1929
1930 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1931
1932         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1933
1934 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1935
1936         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1937         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1938
1939 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1940
1941         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1942
1943         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1944
1945         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1946
1947 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1948
1949         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1950         long_long uniform vectors.
1951
1952 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1953
1954         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1955         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
1956
1957 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1958
1959         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
1960         script to create generated files like this one.
1961
1962 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1963
1964         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1965         available before using getpw and getuid.
1966         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1967         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1968         check for stat.
1969         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1970         check for .guile, instead of stat.
1971         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1972         available.
1973         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
1974         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1975         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1976
1977         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
1978         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1979
1980         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1981
1982 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1983
1984         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
1985         than 'exit-debugger.
1986
1987         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1988         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1989
1990         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1991
1992 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1993
1994         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
1995         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1996         ("position"): New command.
1997         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1998         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.

2001         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
2002
2003 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2004
2005         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
2006         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
2007         Badros.)
2008
2009 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2010
2011         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
2012         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
2013
2014 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2015
2016         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

2030 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2031
2032         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
2033         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
2034
2035         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
2036
2037 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2038
2039         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
2040         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
2041         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
2042         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
2043
2044         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
2045         argument.
2046
2047         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
2048         both forward and backward views of the stack
2049         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
2050         Use selector `frame-number';
2051         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
2052         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
2053         Use (ice-9 debug).
2054         Use readline conditionally.
2055
2056 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2057
2058         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
2059         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
2060         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
2061
2062         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
2063         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
2064         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
2065
2066 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2067
2068         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
2069
2070         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
2071
2072         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
2073
2074         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2075
2076 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2077
2078         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
2079         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
2080         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
2081         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
2082         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
2083         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
2084         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
2085         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
2086         libguile-config-stamp.
2087         * version.scm.in: Delete.
2088         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
2089         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
2090         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
2091         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
2092
2093 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2094
2095         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
2096         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
2097         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
2098
2099         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
2100         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
2101         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
2102         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
2103         readline.
2104
2105         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
2106
2107 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
2108
2109         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
2110
2111 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2112
2113         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
2114         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
2115
2116 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
2117
2118         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
2119         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
2120         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
2121         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
2122         objects starting with '#/'.
2123
2124 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2125
2126         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
2127         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
2128         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
2129         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
2130         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
2131         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
2132         `observer-id'.
2133         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
2134         module-modified): New procedures.
2135         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
2136         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
2137
2138 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2139
2140         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
2141         defines.
2142
2143 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2144
2145         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
2146         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
2147         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2148
2149         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
2150         position.
2151
2152 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2153
2154         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
2155         at multiple calls to read.
2156         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
2157         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
2158         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
2159         continued-lines prompt.
2160
2161         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
2162         reading expressions.
2163
2164 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2165
2166         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
2167         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2168
2169 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2170
2171         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
2172         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
2173         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2174
2175         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2176
2177         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
2178         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
2179
2180         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
2181         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
2182         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
2183         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
2184         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
2185         instead of a port.
2186
2187 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2188
2189         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
2190         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2191
2192         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
2193
2194         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
2195         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
2196         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
2197         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
2198
2199         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
2200
2201         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2202
2203         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
2204         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
2205         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
2206         an alist.
2207
2208         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2209
2210         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
2211         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
2212         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
2213         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
2214         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
2215         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2216         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
2217         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
2218         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
2219         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2220         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
2221
2222         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2223
2224         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
2225         peeked from the stream.
2226         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
2227         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
2228         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
2229
2230         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2231
2232         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
2233         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
2234
2235         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2236
2237         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2238         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
2239         exiting repl with single control-D.
2240
2241         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2242
2243         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2244         error catching loop after quit received.
2245         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2246
2247         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2248         primitive exit if non-interactive.
2249         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2250
2251         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2252         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2253         boot-9.scm.
2254         * popen.scm: new file.
2255
2256 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2257
2258        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
2259        (reverse-iota):  removed.
2260
2261 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2262
2263         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
2264         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
2265
2266 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2267
2268         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2269         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2270         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2271         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2272         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2273
2274 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2275
2276         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2277
2278         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2279         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2280
2281         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2282         Guile's module system.
2283
2284         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2285         changes:
2286         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2287         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2288         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2289         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
2290         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2291         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2292         modern CL behavior.
2293         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2294         '() when the condition is false.
2295
2296 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2297
2298         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2299
2300 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2301
2302         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2303
2304 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2305
2306         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2307         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2308         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2309
2310 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2311
2312         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2313         argument order for hash-fold.
2314
2315 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2316
2317         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
2318         resolve-module.
2319         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2320         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2321
2322         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2323         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2324         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2325         has been added to the load path).
2326
2327         Use try-load-module.
2328
2329 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2330
2331         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
2332         module between system and user state.
2333
2334 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2335
2336         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2337
2338         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2339         definition.
2340
2341 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2342
2343         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2344         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2345         system can create a wrapper class for it.
2346
2347 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2348
2349         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2350         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
2351         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2352         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2353         stack frame encountered.
2354
2355         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2356         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2357         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2358         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2359         list).]
2360
2361         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2362         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2363         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2364         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2365         please tell me!]
2366
2367         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2368         define-module switches:
2369
2370         (define-module (foo)
2371           :no-backtrace)
2372
2373         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2374         modules.
2375
2376         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2377         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2378         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2379         module it is a system frame.
2380
2381         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2382         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2383         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2384         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2385         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2386
2387         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2388         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
2389         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2390         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2391         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
2392         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2393
2394         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2395         status of a module.;
2396         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2397         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2398
2399         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2400         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2401         closure to the module.
2402
2403         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2404
2405 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2406
2407         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
2408
2409 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2410
2411         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
2412
2413 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2414
2415         Fix from Russ McManus:
2416         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2417         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2418         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2419         either an optional or required value.
2420
2421 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2422
2423         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2424
2425         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2426         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2427
2428         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2429         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2430         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2431         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2432
2433 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2434
2435         * optargs.scm: New file.
2436         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2437         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2438
2439 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2440
2441         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2442         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2443         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2444
2445 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2446
2447         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2448         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2449         for isn't loaded.
2450
2451 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2452
2453         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2454
2455 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2456
2457         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2458         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2459         applied to the module itself.
2460
2461 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2462
2463         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2464
2465         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2466         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2467
2468 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2469
2470         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2471
2472 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2473
2474         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2475
2476 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2477
2478         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2479         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2480
2481 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2482
2483         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2484         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2485         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2486         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2487         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2488         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2489         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2490
2491 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2492
2493         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2494         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2495
2496 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2497
2498         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2499         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2500         static libraries.
2501
2502 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2503
2504         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2505
2506 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2507
2508         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2509
2510 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2511
2512         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2513         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2514         adapt to the new hooks.
2515
2516 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2517
2518         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2519         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2520         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2521         code.
2522         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2523         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2524
2525         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2526         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2527         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2528         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2529         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2530         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2531         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2532         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2533         first to register linked modules.
2534
2535         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2536         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2537         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2538
2539         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2540         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2541         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2542         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2543
2544         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2545         to use from C:
2546         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2547         libguile/feature.c.
2548
2549         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2550         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2551         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2552
2553 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2554
2555         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2556         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2557         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2558
2559 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2560
2561         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2562         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2563         result of the last form.
2564
2565 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2566
2567         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2568         syncase.scm.
2569
2570         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2571
2572         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2573         readline-set!: New options interface.
2574
2575         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2576
2577 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2578
2579         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2580         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2581
2582 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2583
2584         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2585         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2586
2587 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2588
2589         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2590         interactive session.
2591         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2592
2593         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2594         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2595
2596 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2597
2598         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2599
2600 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2601
2602         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2603         read line was empty.
2604
2605 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2606
2607         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2608         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2609
2610         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2611
2612         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2613         problem.  Duh.
2614         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2615         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2616         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2617
2618         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2619         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2620         into...
2621         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2622         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2623         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2624
2625         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2626         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2627         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2628         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2629         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2630         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2631         psyntax.ss.
2632         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2633
2634         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2635         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2636
2637 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2638
2639         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2640         and short vectors #h(...).
2641
2642 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2643
2644         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2645         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2646         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2647
2648 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2649
2650         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2651         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2652         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2653
2654 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2655
2656         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2657         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2658
2659         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2660         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2661         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2662         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2663
2664 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2665
2666         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2667         trace flag.
2668
2669         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2670         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2671         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2672         context with traps enabled.
2673
2674 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2675
2676         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2677         module.
2678         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2679
2680 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2681
2682         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2683         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2684         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2685         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2686         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2687
2688 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2689
2690         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2691         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2692
2693 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2694
2695         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2696
2697 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2698
2699         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2700
2701 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2702
2703         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2704
2705 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2706
2707         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2708         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2709
2710 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2711
2712         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2713         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2714         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2715         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
2716         Archibald.)
2717
2718         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2719         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2720         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2721
2722 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2723
2724         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2725         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2726         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2727         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
2728         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2729         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2730         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2731
2732 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2733
2734         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2735
2736 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2737
2738         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2739         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2740         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
2741         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2742         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2743         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2744
2745 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2746
2747         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2748         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2749         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
2750         Steven G. Johnson.)
2751
2752 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2753
2754         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2755
2756 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2757
2758         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2759
2760 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2761
2762         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2763         be completed.
2764
2765 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2766
2767         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2768
2769 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2770
2771         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2772         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2773
2774 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2775
2776         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2777         similar in use to `use-modules'.
2778         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2779         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2780         transformer.
2781         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2782         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2783
2784 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2785
2786         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2787
2788 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2789
2790         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2791         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2792         completion.
2793
2794         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2795         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2796
2797         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2798         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2799         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2800
2801         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2802
2803 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2804
2805         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2806
2807         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2808         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2809
2810 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2811
2812         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2813
2814 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2815
2816         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
2817         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2818
2819         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2820
2821         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
2822         obsolete.
2823
2824 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2825
2826         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2827         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2828
2829 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2830
2831         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2832
2833 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2834
2835         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
2836         Stachowiak.)
2837
2838 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2839
2840         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2841         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
2842         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2843         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2844         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2845         threads.
2846
2847 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2848
2849         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2850         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2851         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2852
2853 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2854
2855         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2856
2857         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2858         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2859
2860 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2861
2862         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2863         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2864         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2865         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2866         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
2867         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2868         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2869         to go here.
2870
2871 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2872
2873         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2874         is now a fluid.
2875
2876 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2877
2878         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2879         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2880         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
2881         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
2882         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2883         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2884
2885 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2886
2887         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2888         usefully so they will work from a script.
2889
2890 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2891
2892         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2893         neighborhood of the record code.
2894
2895 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2896
2897         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
2898         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2899         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2900         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2901
2902 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2903
2904         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2905         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2906         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2907
2908 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2909
2910         Add support for readline function.
2911         * readline.scm: New module.
2912         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2913         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2914         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2915         anything.
2916         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2917         repl-reader to use them.
2918         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2919
2920         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2921
2922 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2923
2924         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2925         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2926
2927 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2928
2929         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2930         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2931         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2932
2933 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2934
2935         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
2936         #f, abort terminates the process.
2937         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2938         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
2939
2940 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2941
2942         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2943         print-state, throw it away.

2945 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2946
2947         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2948         `0'.
2949
2950 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2951
2952         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2953         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2954         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2955         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2956         user field).
2957         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2958         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2959
2960 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2961
2962         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2963
2964 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2965
2966         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2967         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2968         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2969         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2970         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2971         boot-9.scm.
2972         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2973         distribution and installation.
2974         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2975

2977
2978         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
2979
2980 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2981
2982         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2983         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
2984         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2985
2986         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2987         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2988         symbol.
2989
2990 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2991
2992         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
2993
2994         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.

2998         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2999         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
3000         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
3001         field a separate argument.
3002
3003         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
3004
3005 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3006
3007         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
3008
3009         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
3010         vicinity;
3011         Provide defmacro.
3012
3013 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3018
3019         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
3020         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
3021         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
3022         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
3023         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
3024         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
3025         registered.
3026         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
3027         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
3028         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
3029         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
3030         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
3031         link a .so-file.

3039         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
3040         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
3041
3042 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3043
3044         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
3045
3046         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
3047         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
3048         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
3049         expansion inside the slib module.
3050
3051         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
3052         constructors.

3059         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
3060
3061         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
3062         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
3063         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
3064         source.
3065         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
3066         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
3067         been loaded.
3068
3069 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

3076         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

3078         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
3079         mutator for module-associated transformer.
3080         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
3081         `scm:eval-transformer'.
3082         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
3083         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
3084         module.
3085         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
3086
3087 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3088
3089         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
3090
3091         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
3092         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
3093         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
3094         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
3095         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
3096
3097         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
3098         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
3099         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
3100         syncase macros.
3101         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
3102         the syncase interface.
3103
3104 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3105
3106         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
3107         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
3108         workings of the current module system).
3109
3110 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3111
3112         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
3113         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
3114         off!
3115
3116 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3121
3122 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3123
3124         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
3125         according to the following priorities:
3126         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
3127         2. bindings from the-scm-module
3128         3. tcl bindings
3129         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
3130         disabling the scheme interpreter.
3131         (new-interpreter): New function.
3132
3133         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
3134         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
3135         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
3136

3146

3152
3153         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
3154         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
3155         source!
3156
3157 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

3164         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
3165         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
3166         in stack-ref).
3167
3168         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
3169         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
3170         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
3171         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
3172         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
3173         result protocol;

3188
3189         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
3190         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
3191         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
3192
3193         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
3194
3195         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
3196         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by

3210
3211         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
3212         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
3213         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
3214
3215         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
3216         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
3217         the top.
3218
3219         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
3220         order to narrow it correctly.

3229
3230         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
3231
3232 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3233
3234         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
3235         builtin `with-fluids*'.
3236
3237 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3238
3239         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3240         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
3241         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
3242
3243 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3252         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
3253         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
3254         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
3255

3267         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
3268         notation, instead of #/ notation.
3269

3271         make-regexp.
3272

3274
3275         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3276         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3277         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
3278         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3279         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3280         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3281
3282         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3283         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3284         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted

3289         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3290         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
3291         sending in bug reports.
3292         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3293         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3294         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3295         display a warning if the two are different.
3296         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3297         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3298         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

3300 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3301
3302         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
3303
3304 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3305
3306         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3307         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3308
3309         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3310         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3311         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3312         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3313         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3314         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3315         that's okay.
3316
3317         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
3318         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3319         regexp interface.
3320
3321         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3322         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
3323
3324         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3325         function names.
3326
3327         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3328         fixes.
3329
3330 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3331
3332         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3333         ../configure.in.
3334
3335 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3336
3337         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3338         vtable and not the one of the struct.
3339
3340 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3341
3342         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3343         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3344         to support printing of structures.
3345         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3346         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
3347         commented out printing code.
3348         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3349         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
3350
3351 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3352
3353         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3354
3355 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3356
3357         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3358         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3359         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3360         during call to scm-style-repl.
3361
3362 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3363
3364         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3365         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3366         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3367         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3368         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3369
3370 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3371
3372         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3373         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3374         (ice-9 regex).
3375
3376 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3377
3378         * regex.scm: New file.
3379         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3380         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3381
3382 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3383
3384         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
3385         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
3386         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
3387         threads.scm: New address for FSF.
3388
3389 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3390
3391         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
3392         in 1997.
3393
3394 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3395
3396         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3397         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3398         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3399
3400 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3401
3402         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3403         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3404         here.
3405
3406 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3407
3408         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3409
3410 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3411
3412         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3413
3414 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3415
3416         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3417         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3418         fixes this too.
3419
3420 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3421
3422         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3423         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3424         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3425
3426 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3427
3428         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3429         the Scheme code like code yet.
3430         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3431
3432 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3433
3434         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3435         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3436         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3437
3438 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3439
3440         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3441         use-modules macro
3442         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3443         can't be found.
3444
3445 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3446
3447         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3448
3449 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3450
3451         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3452
3453         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3454         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3455         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3456
3457 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3458
3459         Get 'make dist' to work again.
3460         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3461         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
3462
3463         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3464         no plugins.
3465         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3466         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3467
3468 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3469
3470         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
3471         functions.
3472
3473 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3474
3475         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
3476
3477 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3478
3479         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3480         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
3481
3482 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3483
3484         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3485         instead of in libguile.
3486         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3487         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3488
3489 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3490
3491         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3492         procedures.
3493         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3494         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3495
3496 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3497
3498         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3499         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3500
3501 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3502
3503         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3504         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3505         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3506         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3507
3508 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3509
3510         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3511         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3512
3513 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3514
3515         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3516
3517 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3518
3519         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3520         keywords and symbols.
3521
3522 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3523
3524         * slib.scm: update read usage.
3525
3526         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3527         Don't define read-sharp.
3528
3529         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3530         (read-sharp): removed.
3531         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3532         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3533
3534 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3535
3536         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3537
3538         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
3539         primitive procedure.)
3540
3541         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3542         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3543
3544 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3545
3546         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3547
3548 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3549
3550         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3551
3552 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3553
3554         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3555         read gets EOF.
3556         * (exit): alias for quit.
3557
3558 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3559
3560         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3561         return the quit args.
3562         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3563         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3564         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3565
3566         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3567
3568 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3569
3570         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3571
3572         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3573         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3574
3575         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3576         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3577
3578         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3579         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3580         of handlers.
3581
3582 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3583
3584         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3585
3586         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3587         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3588         Change hooks to use these functions.
3589
3590         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3591         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3592         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3593         the source! :-)
3594         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3595         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3596         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3597         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3598         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3599         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3600         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3601         traced.
3602
3603         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3604         and exit-frame exceptions.
3605
3606         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3607         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3608         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3609         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3610         result; otherwise display "> ".
3611         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3612
3613         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3614         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3615         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3616         repository version runnable.
3617
3618 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3619
3620         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3621         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3622         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3623         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3624         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3625         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3626
3627 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3628
3629         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3630         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3631         and eval.
3632         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3633         "defined?".
3634         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3635         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3636
3637 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3638
3639         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3640
3641 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3642
3643         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3644         %read-sharp layer.
3645
3646 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3647
3648         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3649         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3650
3651 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3652
3653         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3654         backtrace.c.)
3655
3656 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3657
3658         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3659         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3660
3661 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3662
3663         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3664
3665         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3666         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3667         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3668         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3669         dynamic linking of modules.
3670         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3671         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3672
3673 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3674
3675         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3676
3677 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3678
3679         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3680         that's what it is.
3681
3682         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3683         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3684         was false.
3685
3686 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3687
3688         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3689         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3690         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3691
3692 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3693
3694         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3695         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
3696         yet.
3697
3698 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3699
3700         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3701         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3702         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3703
3704 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3705
3706         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3707         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3708         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3709         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3710
3711         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3712         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3713         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3714         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3715         (such as the-scm-module).
3716
3717 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3718
3719         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3720         %search-load-path.
3721
3722 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
3723
3724         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3725         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3726         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3727
3728 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3729
3730         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3731         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3732         function, use it accordingly.
3733
3734 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3735
3736         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
3737         function of no arguments.
3738         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3739         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3740         set-current-module): Uses changed.
3741         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3742         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3743         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3744         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3745         *top-level-eval-closure*.
3746
3747 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3748
3749         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3750         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3751
3752 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3753
3754         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3755         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3756         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
3757         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
3758         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3759
3760         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3761         `*features*'.
3762
3763         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3764         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
3765         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3766         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3767
3768         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3769
3770         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3771
3772         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3773         If the user wants to see this, he can do
3774         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3775
3776         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3777         error.
3778
3779         Added `before-read-hook'.
3780
3781         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3782
3783         (provide): New function.
3784
3785         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3786         in backtraces.
3787
3788         (backtrace): New function.
3789
3790         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3791         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3792         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
3793         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3794         is found in operator position in a frame.
3795
3796         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3797         by default.
3798
3799         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3800         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3801         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3802
3803         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
3804
3805         (library-vicinity): Updated.
3806
3807         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3808
3809         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3810
3811 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3812
3813         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3814
3815         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3816         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
3817
3818         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3819         so they'll get distributed.
3820
3821         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
3822         should see as little clutter as possible.
3823         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3824         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3825         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3826
3827         * r4rs.scm: New file.
3828         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3829         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3830         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3831         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3832         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3833         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3834         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3835         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3836         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3837         that are not.
3838         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3839         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3840
3841         * test.scm: New file.
3842
3843         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3844         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
3845         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3846
3847         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3848         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3849
3850         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3851         work now.
3852         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
3853         call %load-announce.
3854
3855 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3856
3857         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3858         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3859         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3860         components.
3861         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3862
3863 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3864
3865         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3866         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3867         SCSH (which this isn't).
3868
3869 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3870
3871         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3872
3873 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3874
3875         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3876         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3877         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3878         these.
3879         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
3880         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
3881         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3882         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3883         save-stack.
3884
3885 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3886
3887         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3888
3889         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3890
3891         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3892         error-catching-loop.
3893         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3894         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3895         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3896
3897         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3898         error-catching-loop.
3899
3900 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3901
3902         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3903         (make-module): Rework for readability.
3904         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3905         should be '(), not #f.
3906
3907         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3908         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3909
3910 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3911
3912         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3913         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3914         error-signal.
3915
3916 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3917
3918         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3919         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3920         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3921         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3922
3923 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3924
3925         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3926
3927 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3928
3929         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3930
3931         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3932         throw-handler-default.
3933         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3934         reported.
3935         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3936         acro.
3937         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3938         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3939
3940 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3941
3942         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3943         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3944         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3945         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3946
3947 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3948
3949         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3950         Append "." to the default %load-path.
3951         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3952         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3953         ...))
3954         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3955         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3956         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3957         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3958         file-is-directory?
3959
3960 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3961
3962         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3963
3964         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3965         distribution.
3966
3967         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3968         `switch-repl'.
3969
3970         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3971
3972 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3973
3974         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3975         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3976
3977 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3978
3979         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3980
3981         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3982
3983 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3984
3985         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
3986         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3987         Don't set up 'error as a key.
3988         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3989         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3990
3991         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3992         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3993         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3994         they seem redundant.
3995         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3996         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
3997         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3998         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
3999         directly files starting with "/").
4000         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
4001         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
4002
4003         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
4004
4005 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4006
4007         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
4008         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
4009         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
4010         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
4011         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
4012         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
4013         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
4014         robust to just do it in the C code.
4015
4016 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4017
4018         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
4019         %try-load itself was the primitive.
4020         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
4021         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
4022         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
4023
4024 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4025
4026         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
4027         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
4028         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
4029
4030 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4031
4032         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
4033         system-error, not every kind of error.
4034         (scm-error): new procedure.
4035
4036 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4037
4038         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4039
4040 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4041
4042         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
4043         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
4044         of args are supplied.
4045         (%%system-errors): removed.
4046         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
4047         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
4048         %%handle-system-error.
4049         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
4050         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
4051         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
4052         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
4053
4054 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4055
4056         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
4057         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
4058         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
4059         %S (embed an argument using "write").
4060
4061 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4062
4063         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
4064         the empty list if they are #f.
4065         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
4066
4067 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4068
4069         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
4070
4071         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
4072         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
4073         aborting, just the key and subr.
4074         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
4075         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
4076         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
4077

4079
4080         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
4081         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
4082         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
4083         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
4084         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

4086 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4087
4088         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
4089         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
4090         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
4091         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.

4093 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4094
4095         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
4096         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
4097         initialize %load-path.
4098
4099         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
4100         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
4101
4102 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4103
4104         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
4105         Add the directory named after the version number.
4106         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
4107         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
4108         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
4109         sitedatadir): New definitions.

4116
4117         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
4118         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
4119         in the Makefile directly.
4120         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
4121         for these.
4122         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
4123         aux_files.

4125         here, where people expect to find them.

4135

4153         (%open-file): removed.
4154         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
4155         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

4160         (manifest): Deleted.
4161         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

4163
4164 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4165
4166         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
4167         now that they throw errors directly.
4168         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
4169         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
