ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
   2
   3 *       * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
   4         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
   5         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
   6
   7 *       * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
   8         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
   9         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
  10         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
  11         readline.
  12
  13         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
  14
  15 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
  16
  17         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
  18
  19 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  20
  21         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
  22         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
  23
  24 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
  25
  26         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
  27         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
  28         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
  29         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
  30         objects starting with '#/'.
  31
  32 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  33
  34         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
  35         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
  36         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
  37         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
  38         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
  39         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
  40         `observer-id'.
  41         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
  42         module-modified): New procedures.
  43         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
  44         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
  45
  46 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  47
  48         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
  49         defines.
  50
  51 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
  52
  53         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
  54         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
  55         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
  56
  57         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
  58         position.
  59
  60 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
  61
  62         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
  63         at multiple calls to read.
  64         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
  65         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
  66         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
  67         continued-lines prompt.
  68
  69         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
  70         reading expressions.
  71
  72 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
  73
  74         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
  75         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
  76
  77 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
  78
  79         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
  80         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
  81         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
  82
  83         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
  84
  85         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
  86         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
  87
  88         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
  89         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
  90         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
  91         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
  92         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
  93         instead of a port.
  94
  95 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
  96
  97         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
  98         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
  99
 100         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 101
 102         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 103         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 104         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 105         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 106
 107         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 108
 109         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 110
 111         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 112         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 113         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 114         an alist.
 115
 116         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 117
 118         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 119         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 120         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 121         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 122         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 123         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 124         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 125         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 126         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 127         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 128         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 129
 130         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 131
 132         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 133         peeked from the stream.
 134         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 135         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 136         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 137
 138         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 139
 140         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 141         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 142
 143         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 144
 145         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 146         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 147         exiting repl with single control-D.
 148
 149         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 150
 151         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 152         error catching loop after quit received.
 153         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 154
 155         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 156         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 157         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 158
 159         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 160         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 161         boot-9.scm.
 162         * popen.scm: new file.
 163
 164 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 165
 166        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 167        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 168
 169 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 170
 171         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 172         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 173
 174 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 175
 176         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 177         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 178         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 179         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 180         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 181
 182 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 183
 184         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 185
 186         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 187         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 188
 189         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 190         Guile's module system.
 191
 192         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 193         changes:
 194         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 195         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 196         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 197         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 198         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 199         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 200         modern CL behavior.
 201         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 202         '() when the condition is false.
 203
 204 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 205
 206         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 207
 208 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 209
 210         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 211
 212 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 213
 214         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 215         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 216         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 217
 218 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 219
 220         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 221         argument order for hash-fold.
 222
 223 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 224
 225         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 226         resolve-module.
 227         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 228         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 229
 230         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 231         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 232         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 233         has been added to the load path).
 234
 235         Use try-load-module.
 236
 237 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 238
 239         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 240         module between system and user state.
 241
 242 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 243
 244         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 245
 246         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 247         definition.
 248
 249 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 250
 251         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 252         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 253         system can create a wrapper class for it.
 254
 255 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 256
 257         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
 258         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
 259         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
 260         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
 261         stack frame encountered.
 262
 263         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
 264         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
 265         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
 266         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
 267         list).]
 268
 269         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
 270         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
 271         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
 272         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
 273         please tell me!]
 274
 275         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
 276         define-module switches:
 277
 278         (define-module (foo)
 279           :no-backtrace)
 280
 281         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
 282         modules.
 283
 284         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
 285         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
 286         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
 287         module it is a system frame.
 288
 289         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
 290         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
 291         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
 292         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
 293         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
 294
 295         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
 296         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
 297         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
 298         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
 299         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
 300         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
 301
 302         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
 303         status of a module.;
 304         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
 305         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
 306
 307         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
 308         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
 309         closure to the module.
 310
 311         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
 312
 313 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 314
 315         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
 316
 317 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 318
 319         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
 320
 321 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 322
 323         Fix from Russ McManus:
 324         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
 325         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
 326         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
 327         either an optional or required value.
 328
 329 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 330
 331         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
 332
 333         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
 334         of the '() key, not `rest'.
 335
 336         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
 337         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
 338         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
 339         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 340
 341 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 342
 343         * optargs.scm: New file.
 344         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
 345         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
 346
 347 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 348
 349         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
 350         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
 351         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 352
 353 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 354
 355         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
 356         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
 357         for isn't loaded.
 358
 359 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 360
 361         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 362
 363 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 364
 365         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
 366         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
 367         applied to the module itself.
 368
 369 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 370
 371         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
 372
 373         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
 374         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
 375
 376 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 377
 378         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
 379
 380 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 381
 382         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
 383
 384 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 385
 386         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
 387         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
 388
 389 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 390
 391         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
 392         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
 393         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
 394         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
 395         among BINDINGS is referenced.
 396         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
 397         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
 398
 399 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 400
 401         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
 402         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
 403
 404 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 405
 406         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
 407         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
 408         static libraries.
 409
 410 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 411
 412         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
 413
 414 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 415
 416         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
 417
 418 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 419
 420         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
 421         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
 422         adapt to the new hooks.
 423
 424 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 425
 426         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
 427         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
 428         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
 429         code.
 430         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
 431         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
 432
 433         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
 434         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
 435         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
 436         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
 437         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
 438         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
 439         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
 440         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
 441         first to register linked modules.
 442
 443         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
 444         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
 445         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
 446
 447         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
 448         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
 449         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
 450         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
 451
 452         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
 453         to use from C:
 454         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
 455         libguile/feature.c.
 456
 457         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
 458         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
 459         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
 460
 461 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 462
 463         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
 464         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
 465         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
 466
 467 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 468
 469         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
 470         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
 471         result of the last form.
 472
 473 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 474
 475         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
 476         syncase.scm.
 477
 478         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
 479
 480         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
 481         readline-set!: New options interface.
 482
 483         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
 484
 485 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 486
 487         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
 488         at the end of boot-9.scm.
 489
 490 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 491
 492         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
 493         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 494
 495 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 496
 497         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
 498         interactive session.
 499         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
 500
 501         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
 502         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
 503
 504 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 505
 506         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
 507
 508 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 509
 510         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
 511         read line was empty.
 512
 513 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 514
 515         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
 516         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
 517
 518         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
 519
 520         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
 521         problem.  Duh.
 522         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
 523         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
 524         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
 525
 526         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
 527         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
 528         into...
 529         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
 530         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
 531         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
 532
 533         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
 534         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
 535         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
 536         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
 537         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
 538         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
 539         psyntax.ss.
 540         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 541
 542         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 543         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 544
 545 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 546
 547         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
 548         and short vectors #h(...).
 549
 550 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 551
 552         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
 553         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
 554         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
 555
 556 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 557
 558         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
 559         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
 560         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
 561
 562 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 563
 564         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
 565         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
 566
 567         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
 568         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
 569         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
 570         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
 571
 572 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 573
 574         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
 575         trace flag.
 576
 577         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
 578         order to allow the empty list as arg.
 579         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
 580         context with traps enabled.
 581
 582 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 583
 584         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
 585         module.
 586         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
 587
 588 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 589
 590         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
 591         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
 592         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
 593         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
 594         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
 595
 596 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 597
 598         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
 599         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
 600
 601 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 602
 603         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
 604
 605 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 606
 607         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
 608
 609 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 610
 611         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
 612
 613 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 614
 615         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
 616         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
 617
 618 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 619
 620         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
 621         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
 622         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
 623         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
 624         Archibald.)
 625
 626         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
 627         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
 628         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
 629
 630 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 631
 632         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
 633         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
 634         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
 635         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
 636         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
 637         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
 638         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 639
 640 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 641
 642         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
 643
 644 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 645
 646         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
 647         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
 648         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
 649         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
 650         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
 651         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
 652
 653 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 654
 655         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
 656         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
 657         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
 658         Steven G. Johnson.)
 659
 660 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 661
 662         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
 663
 664 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 665
 666         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
 667
 668 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 669
 670         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
 671         be completed.
 672
 673 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 674
 675         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
 676
 677 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 678
 679         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
 680         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
 681
 682 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 683
 684         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
 685         similar in use to `use-modules'.
 686         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
 687         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
 688         transformer.
 689         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
 690         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
 691
 692 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 693
 694         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
 695
 696 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 697
 698         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
 699         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
 700         completion.
 701
 702         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
 703         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
 704
 705         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
 706         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
 707         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
 708
 709         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
 710
 711 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 712
 713         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
 714
 715         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
 716         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
 717
 718 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 719
 720         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
 721
 722 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 723
 724         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
 725         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
 726
 727         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
 728
 729         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
 730         obsolete.
 731
 732 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 733
 734         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
 735         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
 736
 737 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 738
 739         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
 740
 741 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 742
 743         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
 744         Stachowiak.)
 745
 746 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 747
 748         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
 749         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
 750         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
 751         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
 752         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
 753         threads.
 754
 755 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 756
 757         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
 758         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
 759         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
 760
 761 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 762
 763         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
 764
 765         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
 766         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
 767
 768 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 769
 770         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
 771         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
 772         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
 773         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
 774         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
 775         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
 776         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
 777         to go here.
 778
 779 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 780
 781         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
 782         is now a fluid.
 783
 784 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 785
 786         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
 787         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
 788         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
 789         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
 790         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
 791         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
 792
 793 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 794
 795         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
 796         usefully so they will work from a script.
 797
 798 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 799
 800         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
 801         neighborhood of the record code.
 802
 803 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 804
 805         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
 806         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
 807         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
 808         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
 809
 810 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 811
 812         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
 813         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
 814         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 815
 816 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 817
 818         Add support for readline function.
 819         * readline.scm: New module.
 820         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
 821         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
 822         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
 823         anything.
 824         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
 825         repl-reader to use them.
 826         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
 827
 828         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
 829
 830 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 831
 832         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 833         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
 834
 835 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 836
 837         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
 838         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
 839         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
 840
 841 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 842
 843         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
 844         #f, abort terminates the process.
 845         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
 846         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
 847
 848 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 849
 850         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
 851         print-state, throw it away.
 852
 853 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 854
 855         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
 856         `0'.
 857
 858 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 859
 860         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
 861         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
 862         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
 863         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
 864         user field).
 865         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
 866         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
 867
 868 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 869
 870         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
 871
 872 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 873
 874         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
 875         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
 876         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
 877         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 878         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
 879         boot-9.scm.
 880         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
 881         distribution and installation.
 882         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 883
 884 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 885
 886         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
 887
 888 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 889
 890         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
 891         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
 892         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
 893
 894         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
 895         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
 896         symbol.
 897
 898 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 899
 900         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
 901
 902         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
 903
 904 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 905
 906         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
 907         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
 908         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
 909         field a separate argument.
 910
 911         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
 912
 913 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 914
 915         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
 916
 917         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
 918         vicinity;
 919         Provide defmacro.
 920
 921 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 922
 923         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
 924
 925 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 926
 927         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
 928         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
 929         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
 930         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
 931         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
 932         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
 933         registered.
 934         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
 935         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
 936         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
 937         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
 938         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
 939         link a .so-file.
 940
 941 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 943         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
 944

 946
 947         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
 948         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
 949
 950 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 951
 952         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
 953
 954         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
 955         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
 956         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
 957         expansion inside the slib module.
 958
 959         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
 960         constructors.
 961         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
 962         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
 963         (let): New core form.
 964         (if): Removed from core language.
 965         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
 966         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
 967         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
 968
 969         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
 970         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
 971         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
 972         source.
 973         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
 974         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
 975         been loaded.
 976
 977 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
 978
 979         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
 980         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
 981         `use-syntax'.
 982         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
 983
 984         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
 985         (make-module): Modified initialization.
 986         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
 987         mutator for module-associated transformer.
 988         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
 989         `scm:eval-transformer'.
 990         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
 991         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
 992         module.
 993         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
 994
 995 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 996
 997         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
 998
 999         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1000         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1001         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1002         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1003         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1004
1005         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1006         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1007         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1008         syncase macros.
1009         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1010         the syncase interface.
1011
1012 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1013
1014         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1015         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1016         workings of the current module system).
1017
1018 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1019
1020         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1021         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1022         off!
1023
1024 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1025
1026         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1027         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1028         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1029
1030 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1031
1032         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1033         according to the following priorities:
1034         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1035         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1036         3. tcl bindings
1037         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1038         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1039         (new-interpreter): New function.
1040
1041         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1042         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1043         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

1054

1060
1061         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1062         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1063         source!
1064
1065 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1066
1067         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1068         (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

1072         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
1073         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1074         in stack-ref).
1075
1076         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1077         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1078         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1079         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1080         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1081         result protocol;
1082         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1083         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.

1087         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1088         (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1089
1090         * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1091         procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1092

1097         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1098         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1099         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1100
1101         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.

1118
1119         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1120         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1121         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1122
1123         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1124         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1125         the top.
1126
1127         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1128         order to narrow it correctly.

1141
1142         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1143         builtin `with-fluids*'.
1144
1145 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1146
1147         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1148         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1149         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1150
1151 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1152
1153         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1154         automatically.
1155
1156 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1157
1158         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1159         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1160         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1161         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1162         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1163
1164 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1165
1166         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1167         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1168         a default of /.
1169
1170         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1171
1172 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1173
1174         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1175         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1176         notation, instead of #/ notation.
1177
1178         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
1179         make-regexp.
1180
1181 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1182
1183         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1184         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1185         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1186         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1187         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1188         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1189
1190         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1191         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1192         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1193         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1194
1195 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1196
1197         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1198         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1199         sending in bug reports.
1200         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1201         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1202         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1203         display a warning if the two are different.
1204         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1205         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1206         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1207
1208 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1209
1210         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1211
1212 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1213
1214         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1215         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1216
1217         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1218         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1219         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1220         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1221         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1222         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1223         that's okay.
1224
1225         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1226         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1227         regexp interface.
1228
1229         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1230         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
1231
1232         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1233         function names.
1234
1235         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1236         fixes.
1237
1238 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1239
1240         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1241         ../configure.in.
1242
1243 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1244
1245         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1246         vtable and not the one of the struct.
1247
1248 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1249
1250         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1251         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1252         to support printing of structures.
1253         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1254         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
1255         commented out printing code.
1256         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1257         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1258
1259 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1260
1261         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1262
1263 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1264
1265         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1266         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1267         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1268         during call to scm-style-repl.
1269
1270 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1271
1272         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1273         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1274         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1275         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
1276         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
1277
1278 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1279
1280         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1281         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1282         (ice-9 regex).
1283
1284 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1285
1286         * regex.scm: New file.
1287         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1288         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1289
1290 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1291
1292         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

1294         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,

1300         in 1997.
1301
1302 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1303
1304         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1305         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
1306         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1307
1308 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1309
1310         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1311         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1312         here.
1313
1314 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1315
1316         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1317

1323
1324         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1325         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1326         fixes this too.
1327
1328 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1329
1330         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1331         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1332         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
1333
1334 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1335
1336         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1337         the Scheme code like code yet.
1338         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1339
1340 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1341
1342         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1343         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
1344         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1345
1346 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1347
1348         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1349         use-modules macro
1350         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1351         can't be found.
1352
1353 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1354
1355         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1356
1357 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1358
1359         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1360
1361         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1362         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1363         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1364

1370
1371         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1372         no plugins.
1373         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1374         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1382
1383         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1384
1385 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1386
1387         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1388         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).

1391
1392         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1393         instead of in libguile.
1394         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1395         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1396
1397 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1398
1399         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1400         procedures.
1401         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.

1403
1404 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1405
1406         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1407         sockaddr:port): new functions.
1408
1409 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1410
1411         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1412         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1413         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1414         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1415
1416 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1417
1418         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1419         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1420
1421 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

1423         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.

1428         keywords and symbols.
1429
1430 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

1437         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1438         (read-sharp): removed.
1439         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1440         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1441
1442 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1443
1444         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1445
1446         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
1447         primitive procedure.)
1448
1449         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1450         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1451
1452 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1453
1454         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1455
1456 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1457
1458         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1459
1460 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1461
1462         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1463         read gets EOF.
1464         * (exit): alias for quit.
1465
1466 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1467
1468         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1469         return the quit args.
1470         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1471         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
1472         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1473
1474         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1475
1476 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1477
1478         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1479
1480         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1481         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1482
1483         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1484         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1485
1486         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1487         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1488         of handlers.
1489
1490 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1491
1492         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1493
1494         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1495         (add-hooks!): New macro.
1496         Change hooks to use these functions.
1497
1498         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
1499         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1500         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1501         the source! :-)
1502         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1503         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1504         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1505         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
1506         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1507         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1508         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1509         traced.
1510
1511         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1512         and exit-frame exceptions.
1513
1514         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1515         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1516         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1517         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1518         result; otherwise display "> ".
1519         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1520
1521         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1522         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1523         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
1524         repository version runnable.
1525
1526 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1527
1528         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1529         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
1530         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1531         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1532         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1533         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1534
1535 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1536
1537         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1538         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1539         and eval.
1540         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1541         "defined?".
1542         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1543         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
1544
1545 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1546
1547         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1548
1549 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1550
1551         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1552         %read-sharp layer.
1553
1554 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1555
1556         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1557         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1558
1559 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1560
1561         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
1562         backtrace.c.)
1563
1564 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1565
1566         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1567         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1568
1569 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1570
1571         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1572
1573         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1574         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1575         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1576         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1577         dynamic linking of modules.
1578         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1579         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1580
1581 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1582
1583         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1584
1585 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1586
1587         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1588         that's what it is.
1589
1590         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1591         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
1592         was false.
1593
1594 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1595
1596         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1597         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1598         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1599
1600 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1601
1602         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1603         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
1604         yet.
1605
1606 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1607
1608         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1609         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1610         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1611
1612 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1613
1614         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1615         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1616         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1617         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1618
1619         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1620         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1621         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1622         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1623         (such as the-scm-module).
1624
1625 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1626
1627         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1628         %search-load-path.
1629
1630 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
1631
1632         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1633         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1634         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1635
1636 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1637
1638         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1639         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1640         function, use it accordingly.
1641
1642 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1643
1644         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
1645         function of no arguments.
1646         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1647         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1648         set-current-module): Uses changed.
1649         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1650         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1651         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1652         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1653         *top-level-eval-closure*.
1654
1655 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1656
1657         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1658         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1659
1660 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1661
1662         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1663         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1664         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
1665         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
1666         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1667
1668         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1669         `*features*'.
1670
1671         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1672         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
1673         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1674         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1675
1676         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1677
1678         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1679
1680         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1681         If the user wants to see this, he can do
1682         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1683
1684         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1685         error.
1686
1687         Added `before-read-hook'.
1688
1689         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1690
1691         (provide): New function.
1692
1693         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1694         in backtraces.
1695
1696         (backtrace): New function.
1697
1698         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1699         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1700         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
1701         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1702         is found in operator position in a frame.
1703
1704         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1705         by default.
1706
1707         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1708         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1709         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1710
1711         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
1712
1713         (library-vicinity): Updated.
1714
1715         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1716
1717         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1718
1719 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1720
1721         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1722
1723         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1724         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
1725
1726         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1727         so they'll get distributed.
1728
1729         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
1730         should see as little clutter as possible.
1731         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1732         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1733         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1734
1735         * r4rs.scm: New file.
1736         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1737         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1738         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1739         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1740         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1741         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1742         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1743         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1744         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1745         that are not.
1746         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1747         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1748
1749         * test.scm: New file.
1750
1751         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1752         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
1753         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1754
1755         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1756         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1757
1758         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1759         work now.
1760         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
1761         call %load-announce.
1762
1763 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1764
1765         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1766         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1767         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1768         components.
1769         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1770
1771 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1772
1773         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1774         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1775         SCSH (which this isn't).
1776
1777 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1778
1779         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.

1782
1783         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1784         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1785         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1786         these.
1787         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
1788         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
1789         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1790         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1791         save-stack.
1792
1793 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1794
1795         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1796
1797         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1798
1799         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1800         error-catching-loop.
1801         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1802         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1803         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1804
1805         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1806         error-catching-loop.
1807
1808 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1809
1810         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1811         (make-module): Rework for readability.
1812         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1813         should be '(), not #f.
1814
1815         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1816         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1817
1818 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1819
1820         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1821         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1822         error-signal.
1823
1824 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1825
1826         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1827         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1828         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1829         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1830
1831 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1832
1833         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1834
1835 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1836
1837         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1838
1839         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1840         throw-handler-default.
1841         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1842         reported.
1843         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1844         acro.
1845         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1846         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1847
1848 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1849
1850         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1851         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1852         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1853         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1854
1855 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1856
1857         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1858         Append "." to the default %load-path.
1859         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1860         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1861         ...))
1862         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1863         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1864         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1865         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1866         file-is-directory?
1867
1868 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1869
1870         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1871
1872         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1873         distribution.
1874
1875         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1876         `switch-repl'.
1877
1878         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1879
1880 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1881
1882         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1883         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1884
1885 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1886
1887         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1888
1889         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1890
1891 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1892
1893         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
1894         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1895         Don't set up 'error as a key.
1896         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1897         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1898
1899         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1900         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1901         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1902         they seem redundant.
1903         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1904         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
1905         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1906         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
1907         directly files starting with "/").
1908         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1909         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1910
1911         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1912
1913 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1914
1915         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1916         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1917         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
1918         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1919         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1920         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1921         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
1922         robust to just do it in the C code.
1923
1924 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1925
1926         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
1927         %try-load itself was the primitive.
1928         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
1929         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
1930         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
1931
1932 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1933
1934         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
1935         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
1936         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
1937
1938 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1939
1940         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
1941         system-error, not every kind of error.
1942         (scm-error): new procedure.
1943
1944 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1945
1946         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1947
1948 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1949
1950         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
1951         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
1952         of args are supplied.
1953         (%%system-errors): removed.
1954         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
1955         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
1956         %%handle-system-error.
1957         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
1958         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
1959         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
1960         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
1961
1962 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1963
1964         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
1965         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
1966         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
1967         %S (embed an argument using "write").
1968
1969 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1970
1971         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
1972         the empty list if they are #f.
1973         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
1974
1975 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1976
1977         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
1978
1979         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
1980         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
1981         aborting, just the key and subr.
1982         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
1983         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
1984         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
1985
1986 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1987
1988         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
1989         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
1990         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
1991         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
1992         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
1993
1994 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1995
1996         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
1997         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
1998         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
1999         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2000
2001 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2002
2003         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2004         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2005         initialize %load-path.
2006
2007         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2008         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2009
2010 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2011
2012         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2013         Add the directory named after the version number.
2014         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2015         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2016         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2017         sitedatadir): New definitions.
2018         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

2020         Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2021         (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2022
2023 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2024
2025         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2026         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2027         in the Makefile directly.
2028         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2029         for these.
2030         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2031         aux_files.
2032         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2033         here, where people expect to find them.

2036
2037         * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2038         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2039
2040         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2041
2042 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2043
2044         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2045         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)
2046
2047 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2048
2049         * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):

2051
2052         * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2053         weak-key-hash-table.
2054

2056
2057         * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2058         (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes.  return

2061         (%open-file): removed.
2062         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2063         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2064
2065 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2066
2067         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2068         (manifest): Deleted.
2069         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2070         directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2071
2072 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2073
2074         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2075         now that they throw errors directly.
2076         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2077         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2078
2079 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2080
2081         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2082
2083 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>
2084
2085         * The more things change...
2086
2087
