88 2002-02-24 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
90 * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
91 properties. This is in preparation for changing the future public
92 gensym to produce unreadable symbols.

106 2002-01-14 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
108 * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
109 datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
110 syntax-object, is an identifier. This was a unconvenient and
111 unnecessary restriction. Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
113 2002-01-12 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
115 More options for pretty-print. Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
117 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
118 (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is

134 2001-10-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
136 * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
137 (*features*): Extend. (Probably some of these options should be
138 set elsewhere.) (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)

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

145 safe.scm, session.scm, slib.scm, streams.scm, string-fun.scm,
146 syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
147 `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
148 into the `define-module' form. This is the recommended way of
151 2001-10-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
153 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
156 2001-10-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
158 * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
159 of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
160 the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
161 interfering with parsing of numbers.)
163 2001-10-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
165 * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
166 %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,

174 2001-09-19 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@glug.org>

200 2001-08-31 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
202 * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).

234 2001-08-30 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
236 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
237 interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
238 not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
240 2001-08-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
242 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
243 interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
245 2001-08-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
247 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".
249 2001-08-12 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
251 * getopt-long.scm: Rewrite.
255 2001-08-02 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
257 * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
258 last-command fluid is not yet set.
260 2001-08-02 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
262 * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
264 (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
265 value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
266 next element is to be taken as the option arg.
268 2001-07-31 Keisuke Nishida <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
270 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
271 handle :use-syntax correctly.
273 2001-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
275 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
278 2001-07-23 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
280 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
281 maintainer mode. Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
282 Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
283 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
284 * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
286 2001-07-18 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
288 * and-let-star.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm, history.scm,
289 lineio.scm, null.scm, optargs.scm, r4rs.scm, r5rs.scm,
290 receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
292 2001-07-17 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
294 * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
295 primitives. Thanks Neil!
297 2001-07-13 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
299 * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
300 re-exported core bindings. Do not re-export `numerator',
301 `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
302 Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
304 * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
305 core bindings. Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
306 since there aren't definitions for them.
308 * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
309 argument is "renamer" not "rename".
311 2001-07-09 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
313 * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
314 is #f. Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
316 2001-07-06 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
318 * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
319 extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
321 2001-06-30 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
323 * arrays.scm: Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b': #b
324 is already defined by R5RS. Further, there is already a working
325 read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
327 2001-06-30 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
329 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
331 * tags.scm: Removed file.
333 2001-06-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
335 Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
336 is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
338 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
339 whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
340 (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
343 2001-06-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
345 * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
346 was a cut-n-paste error previously.
348 2001-06-26 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
350 * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
351 Don't reset trace-level to 0.
353 * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
354 apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler. (They're replaced by
355 evaluator trap options.)

367 * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
369 2001-06-14 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
371 * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
372 `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
374 2001-06-13 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
377 No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
378 Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
379 No longer require `pretty-print'.
381 (slib:error): Delete.
382 (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
384 Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
389 Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
393 2001-06-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
395 * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
396 `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
397 rdelim) module. See below.
399 2001-06-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
401 * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
402 include-deprecated-features is true.
404 2001-06-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
406 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
409 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
410 real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
411 Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
413 * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
414 (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
415 `port', if it has one. Else leave it alone. Thanks to Matthias
418 2001-06-05 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
420 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
421 `module-ensure-variable!'. Make sure that there really is a local
422 variable, not just a visible one.
423 (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
424 (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
425 enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable. When
426 deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
427 creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
428 (module-re-export!): New. Use this for re-exporting imported
430 (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
432 * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
433 re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
435 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
437 * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
438 instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
440 2001-06-04 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>

444 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
446 Added exception notice to all files.
448 * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change. It
449 caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
450 importing bindings once in a while.
452 2001-06-03 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
454 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
455 and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
456 (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
457 registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
458 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
459 find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
460 try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
461 try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated. Activate deprecation
463 (define-public): Define binding before exporting it. This is to
464 avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
466 2001-06-02 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
468 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
469 fix command so that it works.
471 * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
472 to access unbound variables.
474 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
475 (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
476 export. Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
477 the value over, and export the new variable. This confused
478 syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
480 2001-06-01 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
482 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
483 When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules. Add
484 them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
485 (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
486 (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
487 (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
488 argument for process-define-module.
489 (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
490 arguments for process-use-modules.
491 (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
493 2001-05-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
495 * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
496 `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
497 Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
500 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
501 * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
502 (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
504 * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.
506 2001-05-23 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
508 * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
510 (cond-expand): Use feature information associated with modules.

521 getting the syntax transformer. Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
523 2001-05-21 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
525 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
526 deprecated features have been removed. Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
528 * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
531 2001-05-19 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
533 * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
534 * match.scm: Likewise.
535 * expect.scm: Likewise.
536 * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
538 * rdelim.scm: Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
540 * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
542 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
544 (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
545 (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
546 load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here. Do it on
547 top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
548 (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
549 element list when adding "." to it.
550 (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
551 dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
553 2001-05-18 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
555 * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
557 (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
558 now accepts arg; update callers.
559 Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
560 consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
562 * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
563 Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
564 Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
565 (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
566 `search-documentation-files'.
567 (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
568 instead of `(lambda (x) x)'. "An identity edit", ha ha.
569 (help-usage): Mention support for "(help 'NAME)".
571 * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
572 Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.
574 (find-documentation): Delete.
575 (search-documentation-files): New proc, exported.
576 (object-documentation): Use `search-documentation-files'.
578 2001-05-15 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
580 * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
581 so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.
582 (use-srfis): New procedure.
584 2001-05-15 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>

591 2001-05-10 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
593 Merge from mvo-vcell-clenaup-1-branch.
595 * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
597 (apropos-fold): Likewise.
599 * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed. We should not play games with
600 the magical undefined value.
601 (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
602 the default default for bindings.
604 * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
605 make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.

618 definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
619 `set-current-module' call.
620 (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
621 set-current-module. It is redefined later.

661 (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
662 which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
663 (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use

921 (define-public, defmacro-public): Use `export' instead of explicit

925 restrict the use of these forms to the top level.
926 (define-public, defmacro-public): Only export binding when on
928 (process-define-module): Call `set-current-module' with the

992 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
993 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
994 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
995 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
996 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
997 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith
998 for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
1000 2000-12-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

1015 2000-12-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1017 * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
1019 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1021 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
1022 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
1023 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
1024 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
1025 split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,

1030 string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
1031 sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,

1038 removed. values and call-with-values are now primitives and

1040 *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1043 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1045 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
1046 and open-output-pipe.
1048 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1050 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1051 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1052 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
1053 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
1054 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1055 Pirotte for the bug report).
1056 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1057 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
1059 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1061 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.

1082 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1083 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1085 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1086 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1087 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1088 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1089 actual documentation entries themselves.

1121 (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1123 (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed. I don't
1124 think I'll announce this in NEWS even. One of the functions never
1125 even worked... /mdj.
1126 (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1128 (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS

1156 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1157 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
1158 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1159 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1160 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1162 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1164 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1166 * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition. (Is now
1167 provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1169 * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1172 * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1173 record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1174 (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto. (This is actually a bugfix!)
1175 (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1177 * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
1179 * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
1180 (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
1182 * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
1184 * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1185 (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1187 2000-08-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1189 * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1190 definition of module-type.
1192 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1194 * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1196 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1198 (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1199 *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1201 2000-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1203 * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to thi!
1205 2000-07-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1207 * boot-9.scm (expt): In case of negative integer exponents return
1208 an exact result if the input paramters were exact. Thanks to
1209 Mikael for the suggestion.
1211 2000-07-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1213 * boot-9.scm (expt): Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1214 if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1216 2000-07-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1218 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1221 2000-06-27 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1223 * popen.scm: gc-thunk is deprecated. Use after-gc-hook instead.
1225 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1227 * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1228 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber
1231 (delete-if!, delete-if-not!): Renamed parameter from `list' to
1232 `l' in order to avoid confusion. Note: These functions are not
1235 2000-06-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1237 * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1238 and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1240 * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1241 (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1242 (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1244 (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1246 * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1248 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1250 * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1251 module graph. (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1253 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1255 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1256 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1258 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1260 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
1261 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1263 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1265 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1267 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1269 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1271 2000-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1273 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1275 (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1276 (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1278 (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1280 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1283 * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1284 (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1285 (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1286 (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1289 * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1291 * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1293 2000-06-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1295 * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1296 (write-all): Removed.
1297 (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'. Return
1298 documentation string instead of printing it. Not exported.
1300 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
1302 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1303 `proc-documentation'
1305 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
1306 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1307 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1308 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1309 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1310 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1311 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1314 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1316 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
1318 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1320 * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1321 anonymous. Now needed in modules.c.
1322 (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1325 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1327 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
1328 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1329 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
1330 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
1331 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1332 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1333 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1335 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1337 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
1338 accept complex numbers as parameter.
1340 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1342 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1343 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
1345 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1347 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1348 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1349 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1350 instead of remove-if when iterating.
1351 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1352 delete-if! when iterating.
1354 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1356 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1358 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1360 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
1362 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1364 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1365 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
1366 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1367 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1369 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1371 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
1372 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1374 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1376 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
1377 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1378 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
1379 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
1381 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1383 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1384 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1386 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1388 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1389 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1391 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1393 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1396 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1398 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1399 source of the numerous very short changes.
1401 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1403 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1406 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1409 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1411 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1414 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1416 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1417 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1419 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1421 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1424 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1426 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1427 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
1428 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1430 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1432 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1433 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1434 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
1435 Narazaki for this change.
1437 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1439 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1440 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1443 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1444 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1446 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1448 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1449 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1451 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1453 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1454 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1455 use define-public to export from the module.
1457 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1459 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1460 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1461 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1463 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1465 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1467 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1469 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1470 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1472 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1474 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1476 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1478 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1480 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1482 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1483 long_long uniform vectors.
1485 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1487 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1488 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
1490 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1492 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
1493 script to create generated files like this one.
1495 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1497 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1498 available before using getpw and getuid.
1499 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1500 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1502 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1503 check for .guile, instead of stat.
1504 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1506 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
1507 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1508 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1510 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
1511 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1513 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1515 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1517 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
1518 than 'exit-debugger.
1520 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1521 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1523 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1525 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1527 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
1528 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1529 ("position"): New command.
1530 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1531 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
1532 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
1533 to return a valid state.)
1534 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
1536 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1538 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1539 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
1542 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1544 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1545 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1547 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1549 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
1551 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
1553 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
1554 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
1556 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
1557 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
1558 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
1560 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
1563 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1565 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1566 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1568 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1570 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1572 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1573 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1574 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1575 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1577 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1580 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1581 both forward and backward views of the stack
1582 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1583 Use selector `frame-number';
1584 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1585 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1587 Use readline conditionally.
1589 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1591 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1592 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1593 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1595 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1596 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
1599 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1601 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1603 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1605 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1607 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1609 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1611 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1612 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
1613 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
1614 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1615 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1616 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1617 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1618 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1619 libguile-config-stamp.
1620 * version.scm.in: Delete.
1621 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1622 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1623 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1624 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1626 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1628 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1629 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1630 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1632 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1633 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1634 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1635 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
1638 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1640 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1642 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1644 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1646 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1647 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1649 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1651 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1652 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1653 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1654 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1655 objects starting with '#/'.
1657 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1659 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1660 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1661 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1662 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1663 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1664 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1666 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1667 module-modified): New procedures.
1668 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1669 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1671 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1673 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1676 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1678 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1679 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1680 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1682 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1685 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1687 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1688 at multiple calls to read.
1689 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1690 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1691 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1692 continued-lines prompt.
1694 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1695 reading expressions.
1697 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1699 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1700 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1702 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1704 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1705 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
1708 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1710 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1711 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1713 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1714 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
1715 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1716 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1717 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1720 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1722 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1723 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1725 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1727 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
1728 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
1729 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1730 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1732 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1734 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1736 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
1737 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1738 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
1741 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1743 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1744 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
1745 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1746 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1747 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
1748 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1749 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1750 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1751 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
1752 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1753 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
1755 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1757 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1758 peeked from the stream.
1759 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1760 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1761 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1763 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1765 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1766 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1768 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1770 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1771 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
1772 exiting repl with single control-D.
1774 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1776 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1777 error catching loop after quit received.
1778 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1780 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1781 primitive exit if non-interactive.
1782 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1784 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1785 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1787 * popen.scm: new file.
1789 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1791 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
1792 (reverse-iota): removed.
1794 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1796 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1797 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1799 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1801 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1802 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1803 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1804 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1805 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1807 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1809 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1811 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1812 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1814 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1815 Guile's module system.
1817 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1819 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1820 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1821 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1822 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
1823 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1824 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1826 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1827 '() when the condition is false.
1829 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1831 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1833 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1835 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1837 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1839 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1840 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1841 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1843 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1845 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1846 argument order for hash-fold.
1848 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1850 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
1852 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1853 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1855 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1856 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1857 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1858 has been added to the load path).
1860 Use try-load-module.
1862 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1864 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
1865 module between system and user state.
1867 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1869 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1871 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1874 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1876 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1877 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1878 system can create a wrapper class for it.
1880 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1882 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1883 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
1884 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1885 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1886 stack frame encountered.
1888 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1889 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1890 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1891 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1894 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1895 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1896 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1897 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
1900 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1901 define-module switches:
1903 (define-module (foo)
1906 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1909 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1910 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1911 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
1912 module it is a system frame.
1914 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1915 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1916 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1917 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
1918 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1920 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1921 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
1922 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1923 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1924 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
1925 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1927 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1928 status of a module.;
1929 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1930 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1932 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1933 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1934 closure to the module.
1936 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1938 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1940 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1942 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1944 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1946 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1948 Fix from Russ McManus:
1949 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1950 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1951 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1952 either an optional or required value.
1954 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1956 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1958 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1959 of the '() key, not `rest'.
1961 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1962 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1963 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1964 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1966 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1968 * optargs.scm: New file.
1969 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1970 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1972 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1974 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1975 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1976 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1978 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1980 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1981 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1984 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1986 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1988 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1990 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1991 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1992 applied to the module itself.
1994 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1996 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1998 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
1999 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2001 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2003 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2005 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2007 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2009 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
2011 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2012 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2014 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2016 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2017 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2018 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2019 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2020 among BINDINGS is referenced.
2021 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
2022 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2024 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2026 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2027 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2029 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
2031 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2032 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2035 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2037 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2039 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2041 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2043 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2045 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2046 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2047 adapt to the new hooks.
2049 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2051 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2052 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
2053 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2055 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2056 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2058 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2059 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2060 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2061 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2062 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2063 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2064 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2065 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2066 first to register linked modules.
2068 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2069 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2070 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2072 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2073 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2074 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2075 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2077 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2079 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2082 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2083 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2084 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2086 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2088 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2089 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2090 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2092 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2094 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
2095 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2096 result of the last form.
2098 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2100 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2103 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2105 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2106 readline-set!: New options interface.
2108 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2110 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2112 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2113 at the end of boot-9.scm.
2115 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2117 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2118 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2120 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2122 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2123 interactive session.
2124 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2126 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2127 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2129 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2131 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2133 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2135 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2136 read line was empty.
2138 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2140 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2141 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2143 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2145 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2147 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2148 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2149 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2151 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2152 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2154 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2155 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2156 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2158 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2159 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2160 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
2161 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2162 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2163 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2165 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2167 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2168 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2170 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2172 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2173 and short vectors #h(...).
2175 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2177 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2178 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2179 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2181 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2183 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2184 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
2185 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2187 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2189 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2190 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2192 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2193 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
2194 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
2195 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2197 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2199 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2202 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2203 order to allow the empty list as arg.
2204 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2205 context with traps enabled.
2207 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2209 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2211 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2213 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2215 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2216 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2217 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
2218 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2219 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2221 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2223 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2224 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2226 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2228 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2230 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2232 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2234 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2236 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2238 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2240 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2241 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2243 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2245 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2246 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2247 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2248 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
2251 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2252 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2253 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2255 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2257 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2258 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2259 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2260 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
2261 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2262 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2263 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2265 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2267 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2269 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2271 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2272 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2273 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
2274 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2275 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2276 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2278 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2280 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2281 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2282 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
2285 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2287 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2289 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2291 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2293 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2295 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2298 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2300 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2302 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2304 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2305 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2307 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2309 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2310 similar in use to `use-modules'.
2311 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2312 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2314 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2315 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2317 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2319 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2321 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2323 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2324 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2327 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2328 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2330 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2331 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2332 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2334 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2336 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2338 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2340 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2341 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2343 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2345 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2347 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2349 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
2350 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2352 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2354 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
2357 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2359 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2360 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2362 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2364 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2366 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2368 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
2371 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2373 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2374 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
2375 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2376 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2377 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2380 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2382 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2383 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2384 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2386 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2388 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2390 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2391 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2393 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2395 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2396 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2397 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2398 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2399 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
2400 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2401 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2404 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2406 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2409 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2411 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2412 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2413 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
2414 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
2415 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2416 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2418 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2420 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2421 usefully so they will work from a script.
2423 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2425 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2426 neighborhood of the record code.
2428 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2430 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
2431 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2432 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2433 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2435 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2437 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2438 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2439 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2441 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2443 Add support for readline function.
2444 * readline.scm: New module.
2445 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2446 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2447 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2449 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2450 repl-reader to use them.
2451 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2453 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2455 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2457 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2458 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2460 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2462 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2463 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2464 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2466 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2468 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
2469 #f, abort terminates the process.
2470 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2471 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
2473 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2475 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2476 print-state, throw it away.
2478 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2480 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2483 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2485 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2486 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2487 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2488 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2490 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2491 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2493 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2495 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2497 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2499 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2500 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2501 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2502 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2503 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2505 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2506 distribution and installation.
2507 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2509 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2511 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
2513 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2515 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2516 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
2517 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2519 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2520 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2523 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2525 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
2527 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
2529 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2531 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2532 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2533 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2534 field a separate argument.
2536 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2538 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2540 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2542 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
2546 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2548 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
2550 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2552 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2553 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2554 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2555 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2556 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
2557 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2559 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2560 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2561 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2562 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2563 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2566 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2568 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
2570 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2572 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
2573 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
2575 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2577 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2579 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2580 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2581 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
2582 expansion inside the slib module.
2584 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
2586 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
2587 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
2588 (let): New core form.
2589 (if): Removed from core language.
2590 (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
2591 (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
2592 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2594 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2595 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2596 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2598 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2599 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2602 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
2604 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
2605 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
2607 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
2609 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
2610 (make-module): Modified initialization.
2611 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
2612 mutator for module-associated transformer.
2613 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
2614 `scm:eval-transformer'.
2615 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
2616 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
2618 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
2620 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2622 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2624 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2625 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2626 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2627 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2628 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2630 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2631 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2632 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2634 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2635 the syncase interface.
2637 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2639 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2640 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2641 workings of the current module system).
2643 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2645 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2646 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
2649 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2651 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
2652 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
2653 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
2655 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2657 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2658 according to the following priorities:
2659 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2660 2. bindings from the-scm-module
2662 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2663 disabling the scheme interpreter.
2664 (new-interpreter): New function.
2666 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2667 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2668 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
2670 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2672 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2674 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2676 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
2678 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2680 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
2682 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
2684 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2686 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2687 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
2690 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2692 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
2693 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
2694 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
2695 symbols matching regexp.
2697 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
2698 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2701 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2702 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2703 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2704 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2705 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2707 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
2708 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
2710 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2712 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
2713 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
2715 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
2716 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
2718 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
2720 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2722 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2723 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2724 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2726 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
2728 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
2729 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
2730 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
2732 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2734 * session.scm: New file: Session support.
2735 (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.
2737 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2739 * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
2742 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2744 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2745 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2746 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2748 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2749 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2752 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2753 order to narrow it correctly.
2754 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
2756 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2758 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
2759 (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
2761 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2763 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
2765 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2767 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2768 builtin `with-fluids*'.
2770 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2772 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2773 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
2774 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2776 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2778 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
2781 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2783 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
2784 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
2785 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
2786 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
2787 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
2789 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2791 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
2792 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
2795 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
2797 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2799 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
2800 poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
2801 notation, instead of #/ notation.
2803 * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
2806 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2808 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2809 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2810 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
2811 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2812 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2813 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2815 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2816 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2817 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2818 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2820 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2822 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2823 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
2824 sending in bug reports.
2825 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2826 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2827 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2828 display a warning if the two are different.
2829 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2830 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2831 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2833 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2835 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
2837 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2839 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2840 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2842 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2843 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2844 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2845 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2846 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2847 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2850 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
2851 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2854 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2855 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
2857 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2860 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2863 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2865 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2868 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2870 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2871 vtable and not the one of the struct.
2873 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2875 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2876 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2877 to support printing of structures.
2878 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2879 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
2880 commented out printing code.
2881 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2882 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2884 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2886 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2888 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2890 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2891 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2892 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2893 during call to scm-style-repl.
2895 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2897 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2898 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2899 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2900 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
2901 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
2903 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2905 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2906 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2909 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2911 * regex.scm: New file.
2912 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2913 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2915 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2917 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2918 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2919 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2920 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
2922 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2924 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2927 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2929 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2930 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
2931 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2933 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2935 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2936 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2939 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2941 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2943 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2945 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2947 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2949 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2950 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2953 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2955 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2956 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2957 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
2959 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2961 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2962 the Scheme code like code yet.
2963 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2965 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2967 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2968 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
2969 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2971 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2973 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2975 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2978 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2980 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2982 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2984 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2986 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2987 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2988 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2990 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2992 Get 'make dist' to work again.
2993 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2994 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2996 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2998 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2999 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3001 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3003 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New

3012 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3013 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
3015 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3017 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3018 instead of in libguile.
3019 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3020 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3022 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3024 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3026 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3027 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3029 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3031 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3032 sockaddr:port): new functions.
3034 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3036 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3037 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3038 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3039 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3041 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3043 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3044 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3046 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3048 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3050 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3052 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3053 keywords and symbols.
3055 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3057 * slib.scm: update read usage.
3059 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3060 Don't define read-sharp.
3062 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3063 (read-sharp): removed.
3064 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3065 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3067 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3069 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3071 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
3072 primitive procedure.)
3074 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3075 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3077 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3079 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3081 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3083 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3085 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3087 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3089 * (exit): alias for quit.
3091 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3093 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3094 return the quit args.
3095 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3096 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
3097 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3099 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3101 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3103 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3105 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3106 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3108 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3109 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3111 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3112 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3115 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3117 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3119 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3120 (add-hooks!): New macro.
3121 Change hooks to use these functions.
3123 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
3124 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3125 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3127 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3128 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3129 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3130 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
3131 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3132 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3133 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3136 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3137 and exit-frame exceptions.
3139 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3140 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3141 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3142 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3143 result; otherwise display "> ".
3144 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3146 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3147 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3148 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
3149 repository version runnable.
3151 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3153 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3154 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
3155 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3156 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3157 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3158 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3160 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3162 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3163 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3165 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3167 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3168 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
3170 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3172 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3174 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3176 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3179 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3181 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3182 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3184 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3186 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
3189 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3191 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3192 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3194 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3196 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3198 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3199 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3200 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3201 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3202 dynamic linking of modules.
3203 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3204 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3206 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3208 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3210 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3212 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3215 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3216 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
3219 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3221 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3222 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3223 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3225 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3227 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3228 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
3231 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3233 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3234 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3235 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3237 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3239 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3240 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3241 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3242 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3244 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3245 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3246 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3247 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3248 (such as the-scm-module).
3250 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3252 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3255 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
3257 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3258 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3259 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3261 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3263 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3264 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3265 function, use it accordingly.
3267 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3269 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
3270 function of no arguments.
3271 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3272 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3273 set-current-module): Uses changed.
3274 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3275 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3276 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3277 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3278 *top-level-eval-closure*.
3280 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3282 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3283 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3285 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3287 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3288 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3289 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
3290 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
3291 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3293 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3296 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3297 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
3298 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3299 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3301 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3303 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3305 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3306 If the user wants to see this, he can do
3307 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3309 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3312 Added `before-read-hook'.
3314 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3316 (provide): New function.
3318 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3321 (backtrace): New function.
3323 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3324 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3325 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
3326 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3327 is found in operator position in a frame.
3329 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3332 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3333 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3334 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3336 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
3338 (library-vicinity): Updated.
3340 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3342 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3344 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3346 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3348 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3349 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
3351 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3352 so they'll get distributed.
3354 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
3355 should see as little clutter as possible.
3356 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3357 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3358 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3360 * r4rs.scm: New file.
3361 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3362 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3363 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3364 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3365 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3366 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3367 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3368 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3369 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3371 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3372 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3374 * test.scm: New file.
3376 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3377 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
3378 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3380 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3381 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3383 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3385 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
3386 call %load-announce.
3388 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3390 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3391 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3392 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3394 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3396 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3398 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3399 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3400 SCSH (which this isn't).
3402 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3404 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3406 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3408 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3409 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3410 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3412 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
3413 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
3414 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3415 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3418 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3420 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3422 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3424 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3425 error-catching-loop.
3426 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3427 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3428 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3430 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3431 error-catching-loop.
3433 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3435 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3436 (make-module): Rework for readability.
3437 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3438 should be '(), not #f.
3440 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3441 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3443 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3445 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3446 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3449 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3451 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3452 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3453 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3454 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3456 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3458 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3460 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3462 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3464 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3465 throw-handler-default.
3466 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3468 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3470 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3471 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3473 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3475 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3476 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3477 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3478 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3480 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3482 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3483 Append "." to the default %load-path.
3484 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3485 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3487 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3488 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3489 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3490 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3493 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3495 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3497 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3500 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3503 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3505 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3507 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3508 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3510 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3512 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3514 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3516 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3518 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
3519 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3520 Don't set up 'error as a key.
3521 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3522 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3524 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3525 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3526 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3527 they seem redundant.
3528 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3529 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
3530 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3531 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
3532 directly files starting with "/").
3533 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3534 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3536 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3538 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3540 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3541 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3542 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
3543 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3544 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3545 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3546 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
3547 robust to just do it in the C code.
3549 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3551 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
3552 %try-load itself was the primitive.
3553 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3554 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3555 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3557 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3559 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3560 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3561 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3563 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3565 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3566 system-error, not every kind of error.
3567 (scm-error): new procedure.
3569 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3571 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3573 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3575 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3576 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
3577 of args are supplied.
3578 (%%system-errors): removed.
3579 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3580 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3581 %%handle-system-error.
3582 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3583 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3584 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3585 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3587 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3589 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3590 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3591 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3592 %S (embed an argument using "write").
3594 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3596 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3597 the empty list if they are #f.
3598 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3600 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3602 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3604 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3605 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3606 aborting, just the key and subr.
3607 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3608 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3609 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
3611 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3613 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3614 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
3615 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3616 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3617 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
3619 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3621 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
3622 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
3623 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
3624 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
3626 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3628 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
3629 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
3630 initialize %load-path.
3632 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3633 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
3635 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3637 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3638 Add the directory named after the version number.
3639 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
3640 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
3641 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
3642 sitedatadir): New definitions.
3643 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
3644 (install): Create the above directories.
3645 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
3646 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
3648 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3650 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3651 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3652 in the Makefile directly.
3653 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3655 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
3657 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
3658 here, where people expect to find them.
3660 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3662 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
3663 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
3665 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
3667 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3669 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
3670 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
3672 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3674 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
3675 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
3677 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
3678 weak-key-hash-table.
3680 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3682 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
3683 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
3684 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
3685 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
3686 (%open-file): removed.
3687 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
3688 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
3690 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3692 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
3693 (manifest): Deleted.
3694 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
3695 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
3697 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3699 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
3700 now that they throw errors directly.
3701 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
3702 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
3704 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3706 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
3708 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
3710 * The more things change...
