1 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3 * * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
6 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
8 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
10 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
12 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
13 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
15 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
17 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
18 instead of in libguile.
19 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
20 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
22 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
24 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
26 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
27 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
29 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
31 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
32 sockaddr:port): new functions.
34 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
36 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
37 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
38 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
39 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
41 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
43 * * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
44 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
46 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
48 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
50 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
52 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
55 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
57 * slib.scm: update read usage.
59 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
60 Don't define read-sharp.
62 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
63 (read-sharp): removed.
64 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
65 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
67 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
69 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
71 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
74 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
75 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
77 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
79 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
81 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
83 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
85 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
87 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
89 * (exit): alias for quit.
91 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
93 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
95 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
96 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
97 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
99 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
101 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
103 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
105 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
106 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
108 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
109 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
111 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
112 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
115 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
117 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
119 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
120 (add-hooks!): New macro.
121 Change hooks to use these functions.
123 * * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
124 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
125 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
127 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
128 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
129 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
130 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
131 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
132 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
133 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
136 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
137 and exit-frame exceptions.
139 * * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
140 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
141 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
142 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
143 result; otherwise display "> ".
144 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
146 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
147 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
148 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
149 repository version runnable.
151 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
153 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
154 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
155 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
156 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
157 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
158 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
160 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
162 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
163 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
165 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
167 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
168 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
170 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
172 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
174 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
176 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
179 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
181 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
182 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
184 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
186 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
189 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
191 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
192 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
194 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
196 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
198 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
199 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
200 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
201 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
202 dynamic linking of modules.
203 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
204 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
206 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
208 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
210 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
212 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
215 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
216 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
219 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
221 * * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
222 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
223 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
225 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
227 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
228 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
231 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
233 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
234 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
235 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
237 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
239 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
240 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
241 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
242 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
244 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
245 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
246 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
247 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
248 (such as the-scm-module).
250 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
252 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
255 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
257 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
258 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
259 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
261 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
263 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
264 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
265 function, use it accordingly.
267 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
269 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
270 function of no arguments.
271 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
272 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
273 set-current-module): Uses changed.
274 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
275 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
276 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
277 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
278 *top-level-eval-closure*.
280 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
282 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
283 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
285 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
287 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
288 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
289 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
290 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
291 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
293 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
296 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
297 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
298 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
299 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
301 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
303 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
305 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
306 If the user wants to see this, he can do
307 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
309 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
312 Added `before-read-hook'.
314 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
316 (provide): New function.
318 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
321 (backtrace): New function.
323 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
324 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
325 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
326 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
327 is found in operator position in a frame.
329 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
332 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
333 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
334 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
336 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
338 (library-vicinity): Updated.
340 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
342 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
344 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
346 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
348 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
349 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
351 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
352 so they'll get distributed.
354 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
355 should see as little clutter as possible.
356 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
357 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
358 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
360 * r4rs.scm: New file.
361 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
362 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
363 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
364 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
365 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
366 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
367 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
368 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
369 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
371 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
372 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
374 * test.scm: New file.
376 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
377 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
378 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
380 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
381 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
383 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
385 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
388 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
390 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
391 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
392 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
394 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
396 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
398 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
399 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
400 SCSH (which this isn't).
402 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
404 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
406 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
408 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
409 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
410 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
412 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
413 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
414 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
415 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
418 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
420 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
422 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
424 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
426 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
427 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
428 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
430 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
433 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
435 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
436 (make-module): Rework for readability.
437 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
438 should be '(), not #f.
440 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
441 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
443 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
445 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
446 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
449 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
451 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
452 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
453 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
454 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
456 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
458 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
460 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
462 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
464 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
465 throw-handler-default.
466 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
468 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
470 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
471 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
473 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
475 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
476 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
477 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
478 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
480 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
482 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
483 Append "." to the default %load-path.
484 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
485 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
487 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
488 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
489 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
490 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
493 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
495 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
497 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
500 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
503 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
505 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
507 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
508 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
510 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
512 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
514 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
516 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
518 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
519 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
520 Don't set up 'error as a key.
521 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
522 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
524 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
525 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
526 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
528 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
529 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
530 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
531 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
532 directly files starting with "/").
533 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
534 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
536 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
538 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
540 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
541 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
542 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
543 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
544 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
545 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
546 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
547 robust to just do it in the C code.
