36 now accepts arg; update callers.
37 Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
38 consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.

41 Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
42 Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.

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

468 2000-12-29 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
470 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
471 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
472 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
473 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
474 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
475 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith
476 for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
478 2000-12-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
480 * session.scm (apropos): Completed the last patch, which did only
481 half the job. Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
483 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
485 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): There are no weak bindings
488 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
490 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
493 2000-12-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
495 * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
497 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
499 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
500 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
501 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
502 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
503 split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,

509 sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
510 sans-final-newline): Use substring instead of
511 make-shared-substring.
513 2000-11-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
515 * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
516 removed. values and call-with-values are now primitives and
517 the other two were only exported by accident. don't define
518 *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
521 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
523 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
524 and open-output-pipe.
526 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
528 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
529 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
530 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
531 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
532 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
533 Pirotte for the bug report).
534 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
535 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
537 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
539 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.

559 * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
560 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
561 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
563 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
564 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
565 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
566 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
567 actual documentation entries themselves.
569 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
571 * boot-9.scm: Removed comment. (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)

577 2000-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
579 * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
580 Convert first argument to a string.
582 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
583 getter-and-setter-syntax,
584 delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
585 argument. (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
587 * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
589 * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
591 2000-08-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
593 * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
595 2000-08-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
597 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
599 (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
601 (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed. I don't
602 think I'll announce this in NEWS even. One of the functions never
604 (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
606 (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
609 2000-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

623 2000-08-16 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
625 * optargs.scm: Replaced `#&' reader syntax with keywords.
627 2000-08-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
629 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive. (Thanks to
632 2000-08-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
634 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
635 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
636 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
637 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
638 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
640 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
642 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
644 * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition. (Is now
645 provided by libguile/modules.c.)
647 * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
650 * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
651 record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
652 (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto. (This is actually a bugfix!)
653 (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
655 * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
657 * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
658 (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
660 * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
662 * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
663 (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
665 2000-08-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
667 * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
668 definition of module-type.
670 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
672 * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
674 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
676 (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
677 *after* all used interfaces has been added.
679 2000-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
681 * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to thi!
683 2000-07-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
685 * boot-9.scm (expt): In case of negative integer exponents return
686 an exact result if the input paramters were exact. Thanks to
687 Mikael for the suggestion.
689 2000-07-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
691 * boot-9.scm (expt): Make sure that integer-expt is only called
692 if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
694 2000-07-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
696 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
699 2000-06-27 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
701 * popen.scm: gc-thunk is deprecated. Use after-gc-hook instead.
703 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
705 * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
706 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber
709 (delete-if!, delete-if-not!): Renamed parameter from `list' to
710 `l' in order to avoid confusion. Note: These functions are not
713 2000-06-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
715 * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
716 and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
718 * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
719 (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
720 (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
722 (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
724 * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
726 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
728 * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
729 module graph. (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
731 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
733 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
734 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
736 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
738 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
739 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
741 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
743 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
745 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.

749 2000-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
751 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
753 (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
754 (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
756 (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
758 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
761 * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
762 (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
763 (apropos-fold): New procedure.
764 (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
767 * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).

776 documentation string instead of printing it. Not exported.
778 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
780 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
783 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
784 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
785 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
786 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
787 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
788 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
789 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
792 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
794 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
796 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
798 * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
799 anonymous. Now needed in modules.c.
800 (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
803 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
805 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
806 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
807 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
808 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
809 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
810 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
811 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
813 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
815 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
816 accept complex numbers as parameter.
818 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
820 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
821 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
823 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
825 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
826 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
827 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
828 instead of remove-if when iterating.
829 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
830 delete-if! when iterating.
832 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
834 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
836 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
838 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
840 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
842 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
843 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
844 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
845 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
847 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
849 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
850 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
852 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
854 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
855 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
856 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
857 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
859 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
861 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
862 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
864 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
866 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
867 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
869 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
871 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
874 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
876 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
877 source of the numerous very short changes.
879 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
881 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
884 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
887 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
889 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
892 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
894 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
895 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
897 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
899 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
902 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
904 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
905 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
906 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
908 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
910 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
911 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
912 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
913 Narazaki for this change.
915 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
917 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
918 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
921 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
922 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
924 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
926 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
927 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
929 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
931 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
932 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
933 use define-public to export from the module.
935 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
937 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
938 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
939 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
941 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
943 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
945 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
947 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
948 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
950 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
952 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
954 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
956 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
958 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
960 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
961 long_long uniform vectors.
963 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
965 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
966 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
968 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
970 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
971 script to create generated files like this one.
973 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
975 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
976 available before using getpw and getuid.
977 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
978 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
980 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
981 check for .guile, instead of stat.
982 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
984 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
985 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
986 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
988 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
989 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
991 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
993 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
995 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
998 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
999 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1001 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1003 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1005 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
1006 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1007 ("position"): New command.
1008 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1009 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
1010 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
1011 to return a valid state.)
1012 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
1014 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1016 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1017 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
1020 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1022 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1023 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1025 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1027 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
1029 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
1031 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
1032 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
1034 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
1035 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
1036 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
1038 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
1041 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1043 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1044 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1046 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1048 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1050 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1051 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1052 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1053 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1055 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1058 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1059 both forward and backward views of the stack
1060 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1061 Use selector `frame-number';
1062 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1063 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1065 Use readline conditionally.
1067 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1069 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1070 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1071 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1073 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1074 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
1077 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1079 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1081 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1083 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1085 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1087 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1089 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1090 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
1091 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
1092 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1093 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1094 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1095 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1096 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1097 libguile-config-stamp.
1098 * version.scm.in: Delete.
1099 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1100 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1101 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1102 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1104 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1106 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1107 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1108 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1110 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1111 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1112 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1113 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
1116 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1118 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1120 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1122 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1124 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1125 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1127 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1129 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1130 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1131 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1132 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1133 objects starting with '#/'.
1135 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1137 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1138 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1139 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1140 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1141 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1142 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1144 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1145 module-modified): New procedures.
1146 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1147 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1149 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1151 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1154 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1156 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1157 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1158 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1160 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1163 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1165 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1166 at multiple calls to read.
1167 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1168 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1169 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1170 continued-lines prompt.
1172 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1173 reading expressions.
1175 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1177 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1178 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1180 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1182 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1183 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
1186 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1188 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1189 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1191 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1192 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
1193 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1194 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1195 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1198 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1200 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1201 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1203 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1205 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
1206 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
1207 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1208 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1210 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1212 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1214 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
1215 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1216 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
1219 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1221 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1222 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
1223 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1224 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1225 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
1226 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1227 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1228 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1229 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
1230 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1231 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
1233 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1235 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1236 peeked from the stream.
1237 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1238 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1239 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1241 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1243 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1244 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1246 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1248 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1249 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
1250 exiting repl with single control-D.
1252 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1254 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1255 error catching loop after quit received.
1256 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1258 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1259 primitive exit if non-interactive.
1260 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1262 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1263 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1265 * popen.scm: new file.
1267 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1269 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
1270 (reverse-iota): removed.
1272 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1274 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1275 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1277 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1279 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1280 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1281 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1282 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1283 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1285 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1287 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1289 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1290 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1292 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1293 Guile's module system.
1295 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1297 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1298 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1299 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1300 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
1301 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1302 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1304 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1305 '() when the condition is false.
1307 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1309 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1311 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1313 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1315 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1317 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1318 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1319 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1321 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1323 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1324 argument order for hash-fold.
1326 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1328 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
1330 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1331 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1333 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1334 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1335 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1336 has been added to the load path).
1338 Use try-load-module.
1340 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1342 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
1343 module between system and user state.
1345 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1347 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1349 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1352 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1354 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1355 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1356 system can create a wrapper class for it.
1358 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1360 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1361 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
1362 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1363 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1364 stack frame encountered.
1366 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1367 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1368 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1369 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1372 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1373 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1374 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1375 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
1378 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1379 define-module switches:
1381 (define-module (foo)
1384 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1387 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1388 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1389 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
1390 module it is a system frame.
1392 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1393 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1394 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1395 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
1396 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1398 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1399 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
1400 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1401 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1402 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
1403 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1405 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1406 status of a module.;
1407 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1408 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1410 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1411 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1412 closure to the module.
1414 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1416 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1418 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1420 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1422 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1424 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1426 Fix from Russ McManus:
1427 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1428 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1429 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1430 either an optional or required value.
1432 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1434 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1436 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1437 of the '() key, not `rest'.
1439 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1440 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1441 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1442 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1444 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1446 * optargs.scm: New file.
1447 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1448 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1450 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1452 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1453 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1454 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1456 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1458 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1459 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1462 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1464 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1466 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1468 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1469 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1470 applied to the module itself.
1472 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1474 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1476 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
1477 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1479 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1481 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1483 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1485 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1487 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1489 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1490 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1492 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1494 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1495 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1496 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1497 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1498 among BINDINGS is referenced.
1499 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
1500 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1502 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1504 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1505 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1507 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1509 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1510 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1513 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1515 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1517 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1519 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1521 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1523 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1524 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1525 adapt to the new hooks.
1527 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1529 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1530 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
1531 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1533 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1534 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1536 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1537 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1538 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1539 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1540 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1541 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1542 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1543 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1544 first to register linked modules.
1546 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1547 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1548 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1550 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1551 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1552 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1553 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1555 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1557 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1560 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1561 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1562 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1564 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1566 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1567 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1568 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1570 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1572 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
1573 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1574 result of the last form.
1576 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1578 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1581 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1583 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1584 readline-set!: New options interface.
1586 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1588 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1590 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1591 at the end of boot-9.scm.
1593 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1595 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1596 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1598 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1600 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1601 interactive session.
1602 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1604 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1605 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1607 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1609 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1611 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1613 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1614 read line was empty.
1616 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1618 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1619 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1621 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1623 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1625 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1626 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1627 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1629 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1630 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1632 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1633 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1634 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1636 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1637 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1638 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
1639 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1640 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1641 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1643 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1645 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1646 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1648 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1650 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1651 and short vectors #h(...).
1653 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1655 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1656 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1657 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1659 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1661 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1662 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
1663 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1665 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1667 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1668 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1670 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1671 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
1672 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
1673 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1675 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1677 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1680 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1681 order to allow the empty list as arg.
1682 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1683 context with traps enabled.
1685 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1687 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1689 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1691 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1693 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1694 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1695 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
1696 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1697 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1699 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1701 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1702 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1704 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1706 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1708 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1710 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1712 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1714 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1716 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1718 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1719 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1721 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1723 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1724 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1725 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1726 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
1729 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1730 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1731 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1733 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1735 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1736 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1737 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1738 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
1739 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1740 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1741 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1743 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1745 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1747 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1749 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1750 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1751 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
1752 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1753 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1754 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1756 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1758 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1759 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1760 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
1763 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1765 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1767 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1769 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1771 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1773 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1776 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1778 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1780 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1782 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1783 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1785 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1787 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1788 similar in use to `use-modules'.
1789 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1790 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1792 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1793 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1795 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1797 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1799 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1801 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1802 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1805 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1806 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1808 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1809 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1810 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1812 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1814 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1816 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1818 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1819 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1821 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1823 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1825 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1827 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
1828 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1830 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1832 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
1835 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1837 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1838 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1840 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1842 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1844 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1846 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
1849 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1851 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1852 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
1853 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1854 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1855 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1858 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1860 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1861 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1862 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1864 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1866 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1868 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1869 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1871 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1873 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1874 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1875 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1876 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1877 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1878 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1879 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1882 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1884 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1887 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1889 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1890 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1891 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1892 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1893 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1894 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1896 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1898 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1899 usefully so they will work from a script.
1901 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1903 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1904 neighborhood of the record code.
1906 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1908 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1909 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1910 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1911 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1913 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1915 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1916 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1917 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1919 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1921 Add support for readline function.
1922 * readline.scm: New module.
1923 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1924 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1925 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1927 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1928 repl-reader to use them.
1929 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1931 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1933 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1935 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1936 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1938 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1940 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1941 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1942 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1944 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1946 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
1947 #f, abort terminates the process.
1948 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1949 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1951 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1953 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1954 print-state, throw it away.
1956 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1958 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1961 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1963 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1964 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1965 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1966 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1968 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1969 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1971 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1973 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1975 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1977 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1978 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1979 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1980 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1981 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1983 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1984 distribution and installation.
1985 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1987 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1989 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1991 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1993 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1994 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1995 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1997 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1998 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2001 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2003 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
2005 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
2007 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2009 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2010 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2011 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2012 field a separate argument.
2014 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2016 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2018 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2020 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
2024 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2026 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
2028 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2030 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2031 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2032 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2033 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2034 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
2035 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2037 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2038 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2039 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2040 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2041 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2044 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2046 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
2048 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2050 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
2051 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
2053 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2055 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2057 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2058 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2059 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
2060 expansion inside the slib module.
2062 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
2064 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
2065 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
2066 (let): New core form.
2067 (if): Removed from core language.
2068 (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
2069 (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
2070 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2072 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2073 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2074 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2076 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2077 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2080 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
2082 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
2083 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
2085 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
2087 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
2088 (make-module): Modified initialization.
2089 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
2090 mutator for module-associated transformer.
2091 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
2092 `scm:eval-transformer'.
2093 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
2094 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
2096 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
2098 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2100 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2102 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2103 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2104 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2105 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2106 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2108 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2109 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2110 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2112 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2113 the syncase interface.
2115 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2117 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2118 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2119 workings of the current module system).
2121 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2123 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2124 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
2127 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2129 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
2130 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
2131 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
2133 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2135 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2136 according to the following priorities:
2137 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2138 2. bindings from the-scm-module
2140 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2141 disabling the scheme interpreter.
2142 (new-interpreter): New function.
2144 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2145 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2146 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
2148 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2150 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2152 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2154 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
2156 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2158 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
2160 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
2162 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2164 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2165 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
2168 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2170 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
2171 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
2172 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
2173 symbols matching regexp.
2175 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
2176 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2179 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2180 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2181 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2182 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2183 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the

2186 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
2188 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2190 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
2191 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
2193 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
2194 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
2196 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
2198 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2200 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2201 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2202 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2204 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
2206 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
2207 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
2208 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
2210 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2212 * session.scm: New file: Session support.

2215 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2217 * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
2220 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2222 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2223 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2224 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2226 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2227 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2230 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2231 order to narrow it correctly.
2232 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
2234 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2236 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
2237 (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
2239 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2241 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
2243 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2245 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2246 builtin `with-fluids*'.
2248 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2250 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2251 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
2252 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2254 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2256 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
2259 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2261 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
2262 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
2263 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
2264 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
2265 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
2267 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2269 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
2270 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
2273 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
2275 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2277 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
2278 poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
2279 notation, instead of #/ notation.
2281 * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
2284 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2286 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2287 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2288 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
2289 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2290 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2291 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2293 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2294 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2295 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2296 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2298 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2300 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2301 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
2302 sending in bug reports.
2303 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2304 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2305 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2306 display a warning if the two are different.
2307 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2308 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2309 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2311 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2313 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
2315 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2317 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2318 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2320 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2321 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2322 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2323 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2324 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2325 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2328 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
2329 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2332 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2333 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
2335 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2338 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2341 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2343 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2346 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2348 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2349 vtable and not the one of the struct.
2351 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2353 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2354 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2355 to support printing of structures.
2356 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2357 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
2358 commented out printing code.
2359 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2360 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2362 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2364 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2366 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2368 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2369 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2370 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2371 during call to scm-style-repl.
2373 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2375 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2376 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2377 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2378 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
2379 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
2381 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2383 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2384 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2387 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2389 * regex.scm: New file.
2390 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2391 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2393 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2395 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2396 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2397 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2398 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
2400 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2402 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2405 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2407 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2408 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
2409 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2411 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2413 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2414 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2417 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2419 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2421 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2423 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2425 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2427 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2428 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2431 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2433 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2434 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2435 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
2437 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2439 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2440 the Scheme code like code yet.
2441 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2443 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2445 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2446 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
2447 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2449 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2451 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2453 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2456 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2458 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2460 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2462 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2464 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2465 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2466 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2468 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2470 Get 'make dist' to work again.
2471 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2472 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2474 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2476 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2477 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2479 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2481 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2484 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

2488 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2490 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2491 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2493 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2495 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2496 instead of in libguile.
2497 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2498 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2500 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2502 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2504 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2505 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2507 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2509 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2510 sockaddr:port): new functions.
2512 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2514 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2515 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2516 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2517 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2519 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2521 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2522 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2524 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2526 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2528 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2530 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2531 keywords and symbols.
2533 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2535 * slib.scm: update read usage.
2537 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2538 Don't define read-sharp.
2540 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2541 (read-sharp): removed.
2542 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2543 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2545 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2547 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2549 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
2550 primitive procedure.)
2552 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2553 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2555 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2557 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2559 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2561 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2563 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2565 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2567 * (exit): alias for quit.
2569 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2571 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2572 return the quit args.
2573 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2574 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
2575 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2577 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2579 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2581 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2583 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2584 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2586 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2587 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2589 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2590 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2593 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2595 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2597 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2598 (add-hooks!): New macro.
2599 Change hooks to use these functions.
2601 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
2602 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2603 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2605 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2606 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2607 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2608 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
2609 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2610 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2611 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2614 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2615 and exit-frame exceptions.
2617 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2618 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2619 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2620 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2621 result; otherwise display "> ".
2622 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2624 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2625 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2626 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
2627 repository version runnable.
2629 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2631 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2632 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
2633 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2634 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2635 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2636 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2638 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2640 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2641 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2643 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2645 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2646 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
2648 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2650 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2652 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2654 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2657 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2659 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2660 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2662 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2664 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
2667 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2669 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2670 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2672 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2674 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2676 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2677 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2678 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2679 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2680 dynamic linking of modules.
2681 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2682 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2684 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2686 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2688 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2690 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2693 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2694 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
2697 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2699 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2700 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2701 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2703 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2705 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2706 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
2709 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2711 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2712 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2713 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2715 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2717 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2718 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2719 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2720 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2722 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2723 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2724 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2725 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2726 (such as the-scm-module).
2728 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2730 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2733 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
2735 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2736 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2737 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2739 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2741 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2742 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2743 function, use it accordingly.
2745 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2747 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
2748 function of no arguments.
2749 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2750 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2751 set-current-module): Uses changed.
2752 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2753 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2754 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2755 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2756 *top-level-eval-closure*.
2758 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2760 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2761 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2763 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2765 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2766 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2767 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
2768 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
2769 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2771 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2774 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2775 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
2776 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2777 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2779 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2781 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2783 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2784 If the user wants to see this, he can do
2785 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2787 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2790 Added `before-read-hook'.
2792 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2794 (provide): New function.
2796 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2799 (backtrace): New function.
2801 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2802 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2803 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
2804 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2805 is found in operator position in a frame.
2807 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2810 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2811 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2812 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2814 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
2816 (library-vicinity): Updated.
2818 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2820 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2822 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2824 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2826 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2827 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
2829 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2830 so they'll get distributed.
2832 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
2833 should see as little clutter as possible.
2834 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2835 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2836 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2838 * r4rs.scm: New file.
2839 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2840 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2841 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2842 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2843 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2844 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2845 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2846 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2847 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2849 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2850 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2852 * test.scm: New file.
2854 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2855 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
2856 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2858 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2859 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2861 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2863 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2864 call %load-announce.
2866 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2868 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2869 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2870 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2872 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2874 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2876 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2877 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2878 SCSH (which this isn't).
2880 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2882 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2884 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2886 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2887 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2888 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2890 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2891 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2892 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2893 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2896 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2898 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2900 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2902 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2903 error-catching-loop.
2904 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2905 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2906 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2908 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2909 error-catching-loop.
2911 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2913 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2914 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2915 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2916 should be '(), not #f.
2918 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2919 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2921 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2923 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2924 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2927 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2929 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2930 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2931 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2932 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2934 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2936 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2938 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2940 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2942 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2943 throw-handler-default.
2944 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2946 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2948 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2949 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2951 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2953 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2954 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2955 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2956 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2958 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2960 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2961 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2962 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2963 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2965 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2966 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2967 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2968 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2971 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2973 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2975 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2978 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2981 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2983 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2985 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2986 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2988 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2990 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2992 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2994 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2996 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2997 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2998 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2999 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3000 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3002 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3003 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3004 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3005 they seem redundant.
3006 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3007 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
3008 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3009 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
3010 directly files starting with "/").
3011 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3012 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3014 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3016 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3018 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3019 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3020 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
3021 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3022 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3023 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3024 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
3025 robust to just do it in the C code.
3027 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3029 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
3030 %try-load itself was the primitive.
3031 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3032 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3033 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3035 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3037 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3038 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3039 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3041 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3043 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3044 system-error, not every kind of error.
3045 (scm-error): new procedure.
3047 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3049 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3051 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3053 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3054 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
3055 of args are supplied.
3056 (%%system-errors): removed.
3057 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3058 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3059 %%handle-system-error.
3060 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3061 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3062 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3063 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3065 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3067 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3068 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3069 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3070 %S (embed an argument using "write").
3072 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3074 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3075 the empty list if they are #f.
3076 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3078 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3080 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3082 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3083 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3084 aborting, just the key and subr.
3085 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3086 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3087 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
3089 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3091 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3092 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
3093 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3094 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3095 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
3097 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3099 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
3100 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
3101 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
3102 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
3104 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3106 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
3107 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
3108 initialize %load-path.
3110 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3111 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
3113 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3115 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3116 Add the directory named after the version number.
3117 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
3118 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
3119 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
3120 sitedatadir): New definitions.
3121 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
3122 (install): Create the above directories.
3123 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
3124 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
3126 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3128 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3129 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3130 in the Makefile directly.
3131 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3133 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
3135 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
3136 here, where people expect to find them.
3138 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3140 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
3141 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
3143 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
3145 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3147 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
3148 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
3150 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3152 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
3153 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
3155 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
3156 weak-key-hash-table.
3158 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3160 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
3161 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
3162 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
3163 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
3164 (%open-file): removed.
3165 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
3166 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
3168 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3170 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
3171 (manifest): Deleted.
3172 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
3173 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
3175 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3177 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
3178 now that they throw errors directly.
3179 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
3180 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
3182 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3184 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
3186 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
3188 * The more things change...
