ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
   2
   3         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
   4         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
   5         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
   6
   7         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
   8         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
   9         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
  10         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
  11         actual documentation entries themselves.
  12
  13 2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  14
  15         * boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
  16
  17 2000-09-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  18
  19         * syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.
  20
  21 2000-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
  22
  23         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
  24         Convert first argument to a string.
  25
  26         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
  27         getter-and-setter-syntax,
  28         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
  29         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
  30
  31         * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
  32
  33         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
  34
  35 2000-08-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  36
  37         * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
  38
  39 2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
  40
  41         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
  42         `symbol-append'.
  43         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
  44         args.
  45         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
  46         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
  47         even worked...  /mdj.
  48         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
  49         `symbol->string'.
  50         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
  51         semantics.
  52
  53 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  54
  55         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
  56         form set!.
  57
  58 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  59
  60         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
  61         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
  62
  63 2000-08-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  64
  65         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.
  66

  75
  76 2000-08-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
  77
  78         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
  79         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
  80         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
  81         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
  82         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
  83
  84         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
  85
  86 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
  87
  88         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
  89         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
  90
  91         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
  92         syntactic bindings.
  93
  94         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
  95         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
  96         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
  97         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
  98
  99         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
 100
 101         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
 102         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
 103
 104         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
 105
 106         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
 107         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
 108
 109 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 110
 111         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
 112         definition of module-type.
 113
 114         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
 115
 116         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
 117
 118         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
 119         lines.
 120         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
 121         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
 122
 123 >>>>>>> 1.341
 124 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 125
 126         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
 127
 128 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 129
 130         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
 131         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
 132         Mikael for the suggestion.
 133
 134 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 135
 136         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
 137         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
 138
 139 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 140
 141         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
 142         for export args.
 143
 144 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 145
 146         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
 147
 148 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 149
 150         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
 151         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
 152         for the hint.
 153
 154         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
 155         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
 156         tail recursive yet.
 157
 158 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 159
 160         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
 161         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
 162
 163         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
 164         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
 165         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
 166         See NEWS.
 167         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
 168
 169         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
 170
 171 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 172
 173         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
 174         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
 175
 176 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 177
 178         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
 179         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
 180
 181 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 182
 183         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
 184         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
 185
 186 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 187
 188         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
 189
 190         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 191
 192         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
 193
 194 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 195
 196         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
 197         '() instead of #f.
 198         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
 199         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
 200         `the-root-module'.
 201         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
 202
 203         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
 204         documentation.scm.
 205
 206         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
 207         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
 208         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 209         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 210         (help): Rewritten.
 211
 212         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 213
 214         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 215
 216 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 217
 218         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
 219         (write-all): Removed.
 220         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
 221         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
 222
 223 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
 224
 225         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 226         `proc-documentation'
 227
 228         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 229         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 230         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 231         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 232         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 233         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 234         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 235         getter...)
 236
 237 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 238
 239         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
 240
 241 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 242
 243         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
 244         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
 245         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
 246         closure.
 247
 248 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 249
 250         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
 251         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
 252         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
 253         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
 254         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
 255         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
 256         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 257
 258 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 259
 260         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
 261         accept complex numbers as parameter.
 262
 263 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 264
 265         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
 266         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
 267
 268 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 269
 270         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 271         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 272         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 273         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 274         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 275         delete-if! when iterating.
 276
 277 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 278
 279         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 280
 281 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 282
 283         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 284
 285 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 286
 287         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 288         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 289         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 290         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 291
 292 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 293
 294         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 295         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 296
 297 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 298
 299         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 300         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 301         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 302         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 303
 304 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 305
 306         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 307         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 308
 309 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 310
 311         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 312         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 313
 314 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 315
 316         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 317         Dirk Hermann!
 318
 319 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 320
 321         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 322         source of the numerous very short changes.
 323
 324 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 325
 326         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 327         public.
 328
 329         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 330         info pages.
 331
 332 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 333
 334         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 335         from slib docs.
 336
 337 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 338
 339         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 340         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 341
 342 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 343
 344         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 345         to string-append.
 346
 347 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 348
 349         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 350         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 351         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 352
 353 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 354
 355         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 356         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 357         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 358         Narazaki for this change.
 359
 360 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 361
 362         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 363         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 364         %S.
 365
 366         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 367         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 368
 369 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 370
 371         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 372         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 373
 374 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 375
 376         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 377         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 378         use define-public to export from the module.
 379
 380 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 381
 382         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 383         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 384         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!

 414
 415         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 416         script to create generated files like this one.
 417
 418 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 419
 420         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 421         available before using getpw and getuid.
 422         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.

 428         available.
 429         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 430         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 431         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 432
 433         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from

 435
 436         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 437
 438 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

 465 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 466
 467         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 468         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 469

 471
 472         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

 487
 488         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of

 493 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 494
 495         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 496         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.

 499
 500         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 501         argument.
 502
 503         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 504         both forward and backward views of the stack
 505         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 506         Use selector `frame-number';

 511
 512 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 513
 514         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 515         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 516         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 517
 518         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 519         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 520         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 521
 522 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 523
 524         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 525
 526         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 527
 528         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 529
 530         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 531
 532 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 533
 534         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 535         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 536         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 537         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 538         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 539         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 540         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 541         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 542         libguile-config-stamp.
 543         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 544         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 545         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 546         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 547         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 548
 549 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 550
 551         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 552         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 553         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 554
 555         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 556         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 557         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 558         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 559         readline.
 560
 561         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 562
 563 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 564
 565         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 566
 567 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 568
 569         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 570         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 571
 572 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 573
 574         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 575         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 576         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 577         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 578         objects starting with '#/'.
 579
 580 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 581
 582         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 583         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 584         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 585         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 586         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 587         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 588         `observer-id'.
 589         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 590         module-modified): New procedures.
 591         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 592         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 593
 594 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 595
 596         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 597         defines.
 598
 599 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 600
 601         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 602         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 603         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 604
 605         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 606         position.
 607
 608 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 609
 610         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 611         at multiple calls to read.
 612         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 613         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 614         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 615         continued-lines prompt.
 616
 617         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 618         reading expressions.
 619
 620 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 621
 622         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 623         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 624
 625 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 626
 627         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 628         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 629         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 630
 631         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 632
 633         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 634         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 635
 636         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 637         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 638         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 639         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 640         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 641         instead of a port.
 642
 643 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 644
 645         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 646         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 647
 648         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 649
 650         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 651         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 652         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 653         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 654
 655         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 656
 657         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 658
 659         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 660         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 661         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 662         an alist.
 663
 664         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 665
 666         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 667         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 668         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 669         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 670         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 671         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 672         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 673         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 674         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 675         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 676         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 677
 678         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 679
 680         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 681         peeked from the stream.
 682         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 683         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 684         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 685
 686         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 687
 688         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 689         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 690
 691         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 692
 693         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 694         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 695         exiting repl with single control-D.
 696
 697         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 698
 699         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 700         error catching loop after quit received.
 701         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 702
 703         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 704         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 705         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 706
 707         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 708         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 709         boot-9.scm.
 710         * popen.scm: new file.
 711
 712 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 713
 714        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 715        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 716
 717 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 718
 719         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 720         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 721
 722 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 723
 724         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 725         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 726         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 727         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 728         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 729
 730 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 731
 732         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 733
 734         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 735         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 736
 737         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 738         Guile's module system.
 739
 740         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 741         changes:
 742         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 743         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 744         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 745         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 746         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 747         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 748         modern CL behavior.
 749         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 750         '() when the condition is false.
 751
 752 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 753
 754         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 755
 756 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 757
 758         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 759
 760 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 761
 762         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 763         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 764         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 765
 766 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 767
 768         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 769         argument order for hash-fold.
 770
 771 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 772
 773         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 774         resolve-module.
 775         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 776         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 777
 778         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 779         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 780         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 781         has been added to the load path).
 782
 783         Use try-load-module.
 784
 785 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 786
 787         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 788         module between system and user state.
 789
 790 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 791
 792         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 793
 794         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 795         definition.
 796
 797 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 798
 799         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 800         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 801         system can create a wrapper class for it.
 802
 803 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 804
 805         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
 806         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
 807         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
 808         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
 809         stack frame encountered.
 810
 811         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
 812         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
 813         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
 814         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
 815         list).]
 816
 817         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
 818         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
 819         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
 820         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
 821         please tell me!]
 822
 823         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
 824         define-module switches:
 825
 826         (define-module (foo)
 827           :no-backtrace)
 828
 829         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
 830         modules.
 831
 832         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
 833         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
 834         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
 835         module it is a system frame.
 836
 837         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
 838         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
 839         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
 840         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
 841         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
 842
 843         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
 844         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
 845         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
 846         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
 847         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
 848         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
 849
 850         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
 851         status of a module.;
 852         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
 853         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
 854
 855         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
 856         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
 857         closure to the module.
 858
 859         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
 860
 861 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 862
 863         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
 864
 865 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 866
 867         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
 868
 869 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 870
 871         Fix from Russ McManus:
 872         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
 873         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
 874         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
 875         either an optional or required value.
 876
 877 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 878
 879         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
 880
 881         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
 882         of the '() key, not `rest'.
 883
 884         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
 885         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
 886         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
 887         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 888
 889 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 890
 891         * optargs.scm: New file.
 892         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
 893         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
 894
 895 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 896
 897         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
 898         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
 899         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 900
 901 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 902
 903         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
 904         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
 905         for isn't loaded.
 906
 907 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 908
 909         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 910
 911 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 912
 913         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
 914         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
 915         applied to the module itself.
 916
 917 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 918
 919         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
 920
 921         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
 922         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
 923
 924 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 925
 926         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
 927
 928 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 929
 930         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
 931
 932 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 933
 934         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
 935         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
 936
 937 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 938
 939         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
 940         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
 941         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
 942         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
 943         among BINDINGS is referenced.
 944         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
 945         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
 946
 947 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 948
 949         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
 950         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
 951
 952 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 953
 954         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
 955         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
 956         static libraries.
 957
 958 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 959
 960         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
 961
 962 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 963
 964         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
 965
 966 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 967
 968         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
 969         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
 970         adapt to the new hooks.
 971
 972 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 973
 974         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
 975         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
 976         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
 977         code.
 978         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
 979         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
 980
 981         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
 982         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
 983         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
 984         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
 985         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
 986         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
 987         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
 988         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
 989         first to register linked modules.
 990
 991         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
 992         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
 993         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
 994
 995         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
 996         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
 997         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
 998         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
 999
1000         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1001         to use from C:
1002         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1003         libguile/feature.c.
1004
1005         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1006         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1007         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1008
1009 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1010
1011         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1012         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1013         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1014
1015 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1016
1017         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
1018         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1019         result of the last form.
1020
1021 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1022
1023         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1024         syncase.scm.
1025
1026         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1027
1028         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1029         readline-set!: New options interface.
1030
1031         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1032
1033 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1034
1035         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1036         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1037
1038 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1039
1040         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1041         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1042
1043 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1044
1045         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1046         interactive session.
1047         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1048
1049         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1050         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1051
1052 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1053
1054         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1055
1056 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1057
1058         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1059         read line was empty.
1060
1061 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1062
1063         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1064         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1065
1066         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1067
1068         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1069         problem.  Duh.
1070         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1071         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1072         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1073
1074         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1075         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1076         into...
1077         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1078         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1079         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1080
1081         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1082         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1083         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1084         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1085         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1086         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1087         psyntax.ss.
1088         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1089
1090         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1091         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1092
1093 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1094
1095         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1096         and short vectors #h(...).
1097
1098 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1099
1100         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1101         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1102         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1103
1104 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1105
1106         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1107         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1108         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1109
1110 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1111
1112         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1113         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1114
1115         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1116         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1117         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1118         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)

1120 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1121
1122         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1123         trace flag.
1124
1125         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1126         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1127         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1128         context with traps enabled.
1129
1130 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1131
1132         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1133         module.
1134         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1135
1136 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1137
1138         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1139         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1140         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1141         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1142         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1143
1144 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1145
1146         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1147         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1148
1149 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1150
1151         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1152
1153 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1154
1155         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1156
1157 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1158
1159         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1160
1161 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1162
1163         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1164         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1165
1166 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1167
1168         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1169         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1170         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1171         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1172         Archibald.)
1173
1174         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1175         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1176         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1177
1178 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1179
1180         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1181         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1182         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1183         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1184         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1185         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1186         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1187
1188 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1189
1190         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1191
1192 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1193
1194         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1195         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1196         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1197         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1198         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1199         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1200
1201 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1202
1203         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1204         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1205         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1206         Steven G. Johnson.)
1207
1208 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1209
1210         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1211
1212 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1213
1214         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1215
1216 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1217
1218         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1219         be completed.
1220
1221 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1222
1223         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1224
1225 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1226
1227         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1228         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1229
1230 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1231
1232         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1233         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1234         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1235         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1236         transformer.
1237         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1238         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1239
1240 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1241
1242         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1243
1244 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1245
1246         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1247         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1248         completion.
1249
1250         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1251         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1252
1253         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1254         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1255         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1256
1257         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1258
1259 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1260
1261         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1262
1263         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1264         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1265
1266 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1267
1268         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1269
1270 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1271
1272         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1273         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1274
1275         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1276
1277         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1278         obsolete.
1279
1280 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1281
1282         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1283         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1284
1285 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1286
1287         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1288
1289 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1290
1291         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1292         Stachowiak.)
1293
1294 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1295
1296         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1297         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1298         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1299         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1300         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1301         threads.
1302
1303 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1304
1305         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1306         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1307         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1308
1309 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1310
1311         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1312
1313         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1314         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1315
1316 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1317
1318         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1319         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1320         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1321         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1322         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1323         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1324         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1325         to go here.
1326
1327 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1328
1329         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1330         is now a fluid.
1331
1332 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1333
1334         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1335         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1336         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1337         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1338         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1339         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1340
1341 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1342
1343         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1344         usefully so they will work from a script.
1345
1346 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1347
1348         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1349         neighborhood of the record code.
1350
1351 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1352
1353         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1354         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1355         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1356         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1357
1358 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1359
1360         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1361         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1362         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1363
1364 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1365
1366         Add support for readline function.
1367         * readline.scm: New module.
1368         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1369         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1370         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1371         anything.
1372         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1373         repl-reader to use them.
1374         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1375
1376         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1377
1378 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1379
1380         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1381         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1382
1383 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1384
1385         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1386         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1387         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1388
1389 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1390
1391         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1392         #f, abort terminates the process.
1393         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1394         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1395
1396 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1397
1398         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1399         print-state, throw it away.
1400
1401 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1402
1403         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1404         `0'.
1405
1406 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1407
1408         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1409         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1410         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1411         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1412         user field).
1413         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1414         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1415
1416 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1417
1418         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1419
1420 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1421
1422         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1423         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1424         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1425         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1426         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1427         boot-9.scm.
1428         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1429         distribution and installation.
1430         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1431
1432 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1433
1434         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1435
1436 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1437
1438         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1439         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1440         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1441
1442         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1443         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1444         symbol.
1445
1446 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1447
1448         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1449
1450         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1451
1452 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1453
1454         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1455         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1456         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1457         field a separate argument.
1458
1459         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1460
1461 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1462
1463         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1464
1465         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1466         vicinity;
1467         Provide defmacro.
1468
1469 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1474
1475         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1476         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1477         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1478         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1479         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1480         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1481         registered.
1482         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1483         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1484         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1485         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1486         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1487         link a .so-file.

1499
1500         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1501
1502         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1503         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1504         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1505         expansion inside the slib module.
1506
1507         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1508         constructors.

1515         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1516
1517         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1518         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1519         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1520         source.
1521         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1522         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1523         been loaded.
1524
1525 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

1532         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

1534         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1535         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1536         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1537         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1538         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1539         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1540         module.
1541         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1542
1543 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1544
1545         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1546
1547         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1548         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1549         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1550         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1551         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1552
1553         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1554         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1555         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1556         syncase macros.
1557         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1558         the syncase interface.
1559
1560 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1561
1562         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1563         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1564         workings of the current module system).
1565
1566 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1567
1568         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1569         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1570         off!

1577
1578 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1579
1580         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1581         according to the following priorities:
1582         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1583         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1584         3. tcl bindings
1585         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1586         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1587         (new-interpreter): New function.
1588
1589         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1590         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1591         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1592

1608
1609         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1610         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1611         source!
1612
1613 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

1620         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
1621         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1622         in stack-ref).
1623
1624         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1625         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1626         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1627         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1628         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1629         result protocol;

1642
1643 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1644
1645         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1646         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1647         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1648
1649         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1650
1651         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1652         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
1653         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1654

1663         cstime.
1664

1666
1667         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1668         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1669         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1670
1671         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1672         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1673         the top.
1674
1675         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1676         order to narrow it correctly.

1681         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
1682         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
1683
1684 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1685
1686         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1687
1688 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1689
1690         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1691         builtin `with-fluids*'.
1692
1693 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1694
1695         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1696         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1697         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1698
1699 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1711
1712 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1713
1714         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1715         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1716         a default of /.
1717
1718         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1719
1720 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1722         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1723         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1724         notation, instead of #/ notation.

1730
1731         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1732         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1733         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1734         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1735         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1736         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1737
1738         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1739         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1740         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1741         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1742
1743 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1744
1745         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1746         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1747         sending in bug reports.
1748         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1749         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1750         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1751         display a warning if the two are different.
1752         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1753         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1754         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1755
1756 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1762         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1763         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1764
1765         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1766         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1767         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1768         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1769         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1770         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1771         that's okay.
1772
1773         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1774         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1775         regexp interface.
1776
1777         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1778         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
1779
1780         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1781         function names.
1782
1783         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1784         fixes.
1785

1787
1788         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1789         ../configure.in.
1790
1791 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1792
1793         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1794         vtable and not the one of the struct.
1795
1796 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1797
1798         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1799         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1800         to support printing of structures.
1801         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1802         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
1803         commented out printing code.
1804         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1805         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1806
1807 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1808
1809         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1810
1811 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1812
1813         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1814         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1815         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1816         during call to scm-style-repl.
1817
1818 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1819
1820         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1821         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1822         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1823         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
1824         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
1825
1826 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1827
1828         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1829         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1830         (ice-9 regex).
1831
1832 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1833
1834         * regex.scm: New file.
1835         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1836         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1837
1838 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1839
1840         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1841         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1842         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1843         threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1844
1845 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1846
1847         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1848         in 1997.
1849
1850 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1851
1852         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1853         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
1854         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1855
1856 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1857
1858         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1859         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1860         here.
1861
1862 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1863
1864         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1865
1866 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1867
1868         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1869
1870 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1871
1872         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1873         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1874         fixes this too.
1875
1876 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1877
1878         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1879         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1880         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
1881
1882 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1883
1884         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1885         the Scheme code like code yet.
1886         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1887
1888 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1889
1890         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1891         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
1892         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1893
1894 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1895
1896         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1897         use-modules macro
1898         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1899         can't be found.
1900
1901 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1902
1903         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1904
1905 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1906
1907         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1908
1909         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1910         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1911         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1912
1913 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1914
1915         Get 'make dist' to work again.
1916         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1917         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1918
1919         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1920         no plugins.
1921         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1922         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1923
1924 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1925
1926         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1927         functions.
1928
1929 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1930
1931         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1932
1933 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1934
1935         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1936         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1937
1938 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1939
1940         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1941         instead of in libguile.
1942         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1943         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1944
1945 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1946
1947         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1948         procedures.
1949         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1950         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1951
1952 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1953
1954         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1955         sockaddr:port): new functions.
1956
1957 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1958
1959         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1960         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1961         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1962         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1963
1964 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1965
1966         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1967         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1968
1969 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1970
1971         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1972
1973 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1974
1975         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1976         keywords and symbols.
1977
1978 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1979
1980         * slib.scm: update read usage.
1981
1982         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1983         Don't define read-sharp.
1984
1985         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1986         (read-sharp): removed.
1987         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1988         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1989
1990 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1991
1992         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1993
1994         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
1995         primitive procedure.)
1996
1997         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1998         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1999
2000 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2001
2002         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2003
2004 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2005
2006         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2007
2008 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2009
2010         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2011         read gets EOF.
2012         * (exit): alias for quit.
2013
2014 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2015
2016         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2017         return the quit args.
2018         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2019         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
2020         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2021
2022         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2023
2024 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2025
2026         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2027
2028         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2029         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2030
2031         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2032         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2033
2034         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2035         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2036         of handlers.
2037
2038 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2039
2040         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2041
2042         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2043         (add-hooks!): New macro.
2044         Change hooks to use these functions.
2045
2046         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
2047         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2048         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2049         the source! :-)
2050         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2051         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2052         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2053         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2054         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2055         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2056         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2057         traced.
2058
2059         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2060         and exit-frame exceptions.
2061
2062         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2063         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2064         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2065         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2066         result; otherwise display "> ".
2067         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2068
2069         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2070         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2071         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2072         repository version runnable.
2073
2074 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2075
2076         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2077         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2078         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2079         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2080         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2081         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2082
2083 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2084
2085         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2086         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2087         and eval.
2088         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2089         "defined?".
2090         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2091         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2092
2093 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2094
2095         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2096
2097 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2098
2099         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2100         %read-sharp layer.
2101
2102 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2103
2104         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2105         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2106
2107 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2108
2109         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2110         backtrace.c.)
2111
2112 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2113
2114         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2115         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2116
2117 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2118
2119         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2120
2121         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2122         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2123         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2124         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2125         dynamic linking of modules.
2126         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2127         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2128
2129 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2130
2131         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2132
2133 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2134
2135         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2136         that's what it is.
2137
2138         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2139         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2140         was false.
2141
2142 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2143
2144         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2145         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2146         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2147
2148 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2149
2150         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2151         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2152         yet.
2153
2154 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2155
2156         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2157         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2158         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2159
2160 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2161
2162         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2163         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2164         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2165         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2166
2167         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2168         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2169         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2170         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2171         (such as the-scm-module).
2172
2173 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2174
2175         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2176         %search-load-path.
2177
2178 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2179
2180         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2181         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2182         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2183
2184 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2185
2186         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2187         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2188         function, use it accordingly.
2189
2190 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2191
2192         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2193         function of no arguments.
2194         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2195         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2196         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2197         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2198         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2199         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2200         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2201         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2202
2203 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2204
2205         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2206         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2207
2208 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2209
2210         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2211         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2212         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2213         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2214         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2215
2216         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2217         `*features*'.
2218
2219         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2220         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2221         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2222         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2223
2224         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2225
2226         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2227
2228         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2229         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2230         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2231
2232         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2233         error.
2234
2235         Added `before-read-hook'.
2236
2237         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2238
2239         (provide): New function.
2240
2241         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2242         in backtraces.
2243
2244         (backtrace): New function.
2245
2246         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2247         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2248         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2249         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2250         is found in operator position in a frame.
2251
2252         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2253         by default.
2254
2255         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2256         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2257         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2258
2259         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2260
2261         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2262
2263         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2264
2265         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2266
2267 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2268
2269         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2270
2271         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2272         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2273
2274         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2275         so they'll get distributed.
2276
2277         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2278         should see as little clutter as possible.
2279         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2280         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2281         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2282
2283         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2284         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2285         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2286         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2287         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2288         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2289         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2290         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2291         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2292         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2293         that are not.
2294         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2295         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2296
2297         * test.scm: New file.
2298
2299         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2300         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2301         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2302
2303         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2304         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2305
2306         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2307         work now.
2308         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2309         call %load-announce.
2310
2311 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2312
2313         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2314         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2315         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2316         components.
2317         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2318
2319 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2320
2321         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2322         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2323         SCSH (which this isn't).
2324
2325 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2326
2327         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2328
2329 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2330
2331         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2332         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2333         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2334         these.
2335         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2336         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2337         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2338         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2339         save-stack.
2340
2341 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2342
2343         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2344
2345         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2346
2347         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2348         error-catching-loop.
2349         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2350         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2351         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2352
2353         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2354         error-catching-loop.
2355
2356 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2357
2358         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2359         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2360         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2361         should be '(), not #f.
2362
2363         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2364         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2365
2366 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2367
2368         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2369         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2370         error-signal.
2371
2372 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2373
2374         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2375         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2376         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2377         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2378
2379 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2380
2381         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2382
2383 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2384
2385         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2386
2387         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2388         throw-handler-default.
2389         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2390         reported.
2391         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2392         acro.
2393         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2394         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2395
2396 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2397
2398         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2399         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2400         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2401         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2402
2403 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2404
2405         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2406         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2407         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2408         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2409         ...))
2410         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2411         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2412         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2413         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2414         file-is-directory?
2415
2416 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2417
2418         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2419
2420         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2421         distribution.
2422
2423         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2424         `switch-repl'.
2425
2426         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2427
2428 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2429
2430         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2431         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2432
2433 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2434
2435         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2436
2437         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2438
2439 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2440
2441         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2442         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2443         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2444         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2445         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2446
2447         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2448         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2449         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2450         they seem redundant.
2451         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2452         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2453         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2454         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2455         directly files starting with "/").
2456         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2457         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2458
2459         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2460
2461 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2462
2463         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2464         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2465         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2466         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2467         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2468         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2469         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2470         robust to just do it in the C code.
2471
2472 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2473
2474         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2475         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2476         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2477         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2478         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2479
2480 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2481
2482         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2483         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2484         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2485
2486 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2487
2488         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2489         system-error, not every kind of error.
2490         (scm-error): new procedure.
2491
2492 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2493
2494         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.

2535
2536         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2537         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other

2539         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2540         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
