   2
   3         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
   4         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
   5         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!

  34 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
  35
  36         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
  37         script to create generated files like this one.
  38
  39 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
  40
  41         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
  42         available before using getpw and getuid.
  43         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
  44         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to

  49         available.

  52         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
  53
  54         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
  55         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
  56
  57         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
  58
  59 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  60
  61         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws

  79
  80 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

  84         Badros.)
  85
  86 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  87
  88         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
  89         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
  90
  91 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  92
  93         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

 108
 109         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 110         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)

 113
 114 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 115
 116         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 117         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 118         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 119         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 120
 121         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 122         argument.
 123
 124         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 125         both forward and backward views of the stack
 126         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 127         Use selector `frame-number';
 128         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 129         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 130         Use (ice-9 debug).
 131         Use readline conditionally.
 132
 133 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 134
 135         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 136         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 137         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 138
 139         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 140         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 141         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 142
 143 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 144
 145         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 146
 147         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 148
 149         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 150
 151         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 152
 153 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 154
 155         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 156         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 157         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 158         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 159         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 160         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 161         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 162         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 163         libguile-config-stamp.
 164         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 165         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 166         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 167         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 168         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 169
 170 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 171
 172         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 173         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 174         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 175
 176         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 177         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 178         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 179         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 180         readline.
 181
 182         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 183
 184 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 185
 186         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 187
 188 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 189
 190         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 191         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 192
 193 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 194
 195         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 196         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 197         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 198         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 199         objects starting with '#/'.
 200
 201 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 202
 203         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 204         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 205         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 206         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 207         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 208         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 209         `observer-id'.
 210         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 211         module-modified): New procedures.
 212         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 213         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 214
 215 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 216
 217         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 218         defines.
 219
 220 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 221
 222         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 223         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 224         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 225
 226         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 227         position.
 228
 229 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 230
 231         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 232         at multiple calls to read.
 233         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 234         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 235         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 236         continued-lines prompt.
 237
 238         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 239         reading expressions.
 240
 241 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 242
 243         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 244         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 245
 246 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 247
 248         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 249         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 250         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 251
 252         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 253
 254         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 255         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 256
 257         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 258         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 259         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 260         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 261         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 262         instead of a port.
 263
 264 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 265
 266         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 267         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 268
 269         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 270
 271         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 272         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 273         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 274         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 275
 276         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 277
 278         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 279
 280         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 281         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 282         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 283         an alist.
 284
 285         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 286
 287         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 288         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 289         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 290         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 291         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 292         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 293         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 294         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 295         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 296         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 297         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 298
 299         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 300
 301         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 302         peeked from the stream.
 303         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 304         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 305         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 306
 307         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 308
 309         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 310         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 311
 312         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 313
 314         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 315         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 316         exiting repl with single control-D.
 317
 318         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 319
 320         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 321         error catching loop after quit received.
 322         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 323
 324         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 325         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 326         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 327
 328         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 329         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 330         boot-9.scm.
 331         * popen.scm: new file.
 332
 333 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 334
 335        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 336        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 337
 338 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 339
 340         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 341         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 342
 343 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 344
 345         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 346         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 347         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 348         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 349         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 350
 351 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 352
 353         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 354
 355         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 356         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 357
 358         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 359         Guile's module system.
 360
 361         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 362         changes:
 363         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 364         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 365         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 366         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 367         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 368         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 369         modern CL behavior.
 370         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 371         '() when the condition is false.
 372
 373 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 374
 375         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 376
 377 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 378
 379         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 380
 381 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 382
 383         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 384         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 385         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 386
 387 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 388
 389         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 390         argument order for hash-fold.
 391
 392 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 393
 394         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 395         resolve-module.
 396         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 397         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 398
 399         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 400         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 401         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 402         has been added to the load path).
 403
 404         Use try-load-module.
 405
 406 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 407
 408         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 409         module between system and user state.
 410
 411 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 412
 413         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 414
 415         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 416         definition.
 417
 418 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 419
 420         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 421         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 422         system can create a wrapper class for it.
 423
 424 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 425
 426         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
 427         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
 428         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
 429         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
 430         stack frame encountered.
 431
 432         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
 433         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
 434         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
 435         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
 436         list).]
 437
 438         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
 439         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
 440         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
 441         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
 442         please tell me!]
 443
 444         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
 445         define-module switches:
 446
 447         (define-module (foo)
 448           :no-backtrace)
 449
 450         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
 451         modules.
 452
 453         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
 454         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
 455         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
 456         module it is a system frame.
 457
 458         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
 459         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
 460         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
 461         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
 462         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
 463
 464         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
 465         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
 466         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
 467         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
 468         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
 469         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
 470
 471         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
 472         status of a module.;
 473         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
 474         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
 475
 476         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
 477         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
 478         closure to the module.
 479
 480         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
 481
 482 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 485
 486 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 487
 488         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
 489
 490 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 491
 492         Fix from Russ McManus:
 493         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
 494         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
 495         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
 496         either an optional or required value.
 497
 498 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 499
 500         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
 501
 502         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
 503         of the '() key, not `rest'.
 504
 505         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
 506         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
 507         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
 508         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 509
 510 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 511
 512         * optargs.scm: New file.
 513         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
 514         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
 515
 516 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 517
 518         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
 519         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
 520         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 521
 522 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 523
 524         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
 525         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
 526         for isn't loaded.
 527
 528 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>

 530         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 531
 532 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 533
 534         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
 535         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
 536         applied to the module itself.
 537
 538 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 539
 540         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
 541
 542         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
 543         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
 544
 545 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 546
 547         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
 548
 549 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 550
 551         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
 552
 553 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 554
 555         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
 556         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
 557
 558 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 559
 560         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
 561         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
 562         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
 563         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
 564         among BINDINGS is referenced.
 565         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
 566         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
 567
 568 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 569
 570         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
 571         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
 572
 573 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 574
 575         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
 576         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
 577         static libraries.
 578
 579 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 580
 581         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
 582
 583 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 584
 585         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
 586
 587 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 588
 589         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
 590         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
 591         adapt to the new hooks.
 592
 593 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 594
 595         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
 596         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
 597         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
 598         code.
 599         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
 600         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
 601
 602         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
 603         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
 604         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
 605         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
 606         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
 607         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
 608         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
 609         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
 610         first to register linked modules.
 611
 612         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
 613         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
 614         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
 615
 616         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
 617         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
 618         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
 619         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
 620
 621         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
 622         to use from C:
 623         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
 624         libguile/feature.c.
 625
 626         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
 627         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
 628         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
 629
 630 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 631
 632         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
 633         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
 634         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
 635
 636 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 637
 638         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
 639         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
 640         result of the last form.
 641
 642 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 643
 644         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
 645         syncase.scm.
 646
 647         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
 648
 649         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
 650         readline-set!: New options interface.
 651
 652         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
 653
 654 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 655
 656         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
 657         at the end of boot-9.scm.
 658
 659 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 660
 661         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
 662         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 663
 664 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 665
 666         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
 667         interactive session.
 668         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
 669
 670         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
 671         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
 672
 673 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 674
 675         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
 676
 677 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 678
 679         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
 680         read line was empty.
 681
 682 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 683
 684         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
 685         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
 686
 687         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
 688
 689         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
 690         problem.  Duh.
 691         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
 692         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
 693         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
 694
 695         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
 696         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
 697         into...
 698         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
 699         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
 700         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
 701
 702         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
 703         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
 704         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
 705         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
 706         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
 707         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
 708         psyntax.ss.
 709         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 710
 711         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 712         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 713
 714 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 715
 716         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
 717         and short vectors #h(...).
 718
 719 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 720
 721         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
 722         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
 723         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
 724
 725 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 726
 727         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
 728         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
 729         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
 730
 731 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 732
 733         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
 734         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
 735
 736         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
 737         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
 738         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
 739         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)

 743         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
 744         trace flag.
 745
 746         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
 747         order to allow the empty list as arg.
 748         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
 749         context with traps enabled.
 750
 751 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 752
 753         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
 754         module.
 755         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
 756
 757 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 758
 759         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
 760         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
 761         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
 762         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
 763         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
 764
 765 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 766
 767         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
 768         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
 769
 770 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 771
 772         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
 773
 774 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 775
 776         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
 777
 778 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 779
 780         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
 781
 782 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 783
 784         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
 785         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
 786
 787 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 788
 789         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
 790         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
 791         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
 792         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
 793         Archibald.)
 794
 795         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
 796         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
 797         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
 798
 799 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 800
 801         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
 802         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
 803         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
 804         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
 805         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
 806         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
 807         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 808
 809 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 810
 811         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
 812
 813 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 814
 815         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
 816         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
 817         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
 818         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
 819         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
 820         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
 821
 822 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 823
 824         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
 825         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
 826         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
 827         Steven G. Johnson.)
 828
 829 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 830
 831         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
 832
 833 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 834
 835         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
 836
 837 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 838
 839         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
 840         be completed.
 841
 842 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 843
 844         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
 845
 846 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 847
 848         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
 849         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
 850
 851 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 852
 853         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
 854         similar in use to `use-modules'.
 855         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
 856         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
 857         transformer.
 858         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
 859         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
 860
 861 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 862
 863         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
 864
 865 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 866
 867         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
 868         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
 869         completion.
 870
 871         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
 872         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
 873
 874         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
 875         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
 876         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
 877
 878         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
 879
 880 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 881
 882         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
 883
 884         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
 885         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
 886
 887 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 888
 889         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
 890
 891 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 892
 893         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
 894         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
 895
 896         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
 897
 898         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
 899         obsolete.
 900
 901 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 902
 903         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
 904         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
 905
 906 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 907
 908         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
 909
 910 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 911
 912         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
 913         Stachowiak.)
 914
 915 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 916
 917         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
 918         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
 919         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
 920         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
 921         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
 922         threads.
 923
 924 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 925
 926         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
 927         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
 928         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
 929
 930 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 931
 932         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
 933
 934         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
 935         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
 936
 937 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 938
 939         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
 940         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
 941         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
 942         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
 943         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
 944         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
 945         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
 946         to go here.
 947
 948 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 949
 950         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
 951         is now a fluid.
 952
 953 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 954
 955         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
 956         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
 957         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
 958         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
 959         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
 960         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
 961
 962 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 963
 964         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
 965         usefully so they will work from a script.
 966
 967 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 968
 969         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
 970         neighborhood of the record code.
 971
 972 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 973
 974         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
 975         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
 976         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
 977         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
 978
 979 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 980
 981         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
 982         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
 983         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 984
 985 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 986
 987         Add support for readline function.
 988         * readline.scm: New module.
 989         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
 990         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
 991         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
 992         anything.
 993         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
 994         repl-reader to use them.
 995         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
 996
 997         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
 998
 999 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1000
1001         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1002         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1003
1004 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1005
1006         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1007         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1008         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1009
1010 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1011
1012         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1013         #f, abort terminates the process.
1014         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1015         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1016
1017 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1018
1019         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1020         print-state, throw it away.
1021
1022 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1023
1024         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1025         `0'.
1026
1027 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1028
1029         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1030         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1031         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1032         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1033         user field).
1034         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1035         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1036
1037 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1038
1039         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1040
1041 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1042
1043         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1044         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1045         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1046         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1047         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1048         boot-9.scm.
1049         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1050         distribution and installation.
1051         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1052
1053 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1054
1055         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1056
1057 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1058
1059         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1060         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1061         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1062
1063         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1064         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1065         symbol.
1066
1067 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1068
1069         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1070
1071         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1072
1073 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1074
1075         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1076         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1077         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1078         field a separate argument.
1079
1080         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1081
1082 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1083
1084         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1085
1086         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1087         vicinity;
1088         Provide defmacro.
1089
1090 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1091
1092         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1093
1094 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1095
1096         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1097         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1098         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1099         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1100         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1101         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1102         registered.
1103         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1104         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1105         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1106         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1107         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1108         link a .so-file.

1111
1112         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
1113
1114 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1115
1116         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1117         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1118
1119 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1120
1121         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1122
1123         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1124         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1125         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1126         expansion inside the slib module.
1127
1128         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1129         constructors.

1136         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1137
1138         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1139         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1140         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1141         source.
1142         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1143         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1144         been loaded.
1145
1146 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

1148         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1149         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with

1151         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1152
1153         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1154         (make-module): Modified initialization.
1155         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1156         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1157         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1158         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1159         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1160         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1161         module.
1162         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1163
1164 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1165
1166         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1167
1168         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1169         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1170         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1171         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1172         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1173
1174         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1175         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1176         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1177         syncase macros.
1178         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1179         the syncase interface.
1180
1181 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1182
1183         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1184         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1185         workings of the current module system).
1186
1187 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1188
1189         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1190         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1191         off!
1192
1193 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1195         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1196         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1197         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1198
1199 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1200
1201         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1202         according to the following priorities:
1203         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1204         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1205         3. tcl bindings
1206         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1207         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1208         (new-interpreter): New function.
1209
1210         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1211         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1212         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1213
1214 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

1223
1224         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1225         procedures.

1229
1230         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1231         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1232         source!
1233
1234 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1235
1236         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.

1239         symbols matching regexp.
1240
1241         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
1242         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1243         in stack-ref).
1244
1245         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1246         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1247         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1248         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1249         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1250         result protocol;
1251         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1252         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.

1263
1264 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1265
1266         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1267         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1268         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1269
1270         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1271
1272         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1273         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
1274         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1275
1276 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1281 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1282
1283         * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
1284         cstime.
1285
1286 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1287
1288         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1289         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1290         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1291
1292         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1293         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1294         the top.
1295
1296         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1297         order to narrow it correctly.
1298         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1299
1300 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1301
1302         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
1303         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
1304
1305 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1306
1307         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1308
1309 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1310
1311         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1312         builtin `with-fluids*'.
1313
1314 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1315
1316         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1317         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1318         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1319
1320 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1321
1322         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces

1324
1325 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

1327         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1328         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1329         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1330         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1331         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1332
1333 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1334
1335         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1336         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1337         a default of /.
1338
1339         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1340
1341 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1342
1343         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1344         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1345         notation, instead of #/ notation.

1348         make-regexp.
1349

1351
1352         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1353         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1354         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1355         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1356         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1357         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1358
1359         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1360         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1361         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1362         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1363
1364 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1365
1366         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1367         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1368         sending in bug reports.
1369         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1370         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1371         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1372         display a warning if the two are different.
1373         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1374         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1375         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1376
1377 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1378
1379         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1380
1381 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1382
1383         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1384         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1385
1386         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1387         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1388         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1389         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1390         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1391         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1392         that's okay.
1393
1394         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1395         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1396         regexp interface.
1397
1398         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1399         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
1400
1401         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1402         function names.
1403
1404         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1405         fixes.
1406
1407 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1408
1409         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1410         ../configure.in.
1411
1412 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1413
1414         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1415         vtable and not the one of the struct.
1416
1417 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1418
1419         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1420         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1421         to support printing of structures.
1422         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1423         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
1424         commented out printing code.
1425         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1426         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1427
1428 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1429
1430         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1431
1432 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1433
1434         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1435         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1436         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1437         during call to scm-style-repl.
1438
1439 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1440
1441         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1442         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1443         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1444         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
1445         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.

1447 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1448
1449         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1450         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1451         (ice-9 regex).
1452
1453 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1454
1455         * regex.scm: New file.
1456         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1457         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1458
1459 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1460
1461         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1462         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1463         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1464         threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1465
1466 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1467
1468         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1469         in 1997.
1470
1471 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1472
1473         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1474         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
1475         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1476
1477 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1478
1479         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1480         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1481         here.
1482
1483 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1484
1485         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1486
1487 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1488
1489         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1490
1491 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1492
1493         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1494         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1495         fixes this too.
1496
1497 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1498
1499         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1500         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1501         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
1502
1503 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1504
1505         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1506         the Scheme code like code yet.
1507         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1508
1509 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1510
1511         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1512         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
1513         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1514
1515 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1516
1517         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1518         use-modules macro
1519         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1520         can't be found.
1521
1522 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1523
1524         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1525
1526 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1527
1528         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1529
1530         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1531         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1532         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1533
1534 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1535
1536         Get 'make dist' to work again.
1537         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1538         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1539
1540         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1541         no plugins.
1542         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1543         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1544
1545 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1546
1547         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1548         functions.
1549
1550 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1551
1552         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1553
1554 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1555
1556         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1557         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1558
1559 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1560
1561         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1562         instead of in libguile.
1563         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1564         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1565
1566 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1567
1568         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1569         procedures.
1570         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1571         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1572
1573 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1574
1575         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1576         sockaddr:port): new functions.
1577
1578 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1579
1580         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1581         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1582         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1583         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1584
1585 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1586
1587         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1588         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1589
1590 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1591
1592         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1593
1594 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1595
1596         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1597         keywords and symbols.
1598
1599 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1600
1601         * slib.scm: update read usage.
1602
1603         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1604         Don't define read-sharp.
1605
1606         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1607         (read-sharp): removed.
1608         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1609         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1610
1611 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1612
1613         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1614
1615         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
1616         primitive procedure.)
1617
1618         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1619         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1620
1621 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1622
1623         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1624
1625 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1626
1627         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1628
1629 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1630
1631         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1632         read gets EOF.
1633         * (exit): alias for quit.
1634
1635 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1636
1637         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1638         return the quit args.
1639         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1640         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
1641         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1642
1643         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1644
1645 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1646
1647         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1648
1649         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1650         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1651
1652         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1653         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1654
1655         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1656         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1657         of handlers.
1658
1659 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1660
1661         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1662
1663         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1664         (add-hooks!): New macro.
1665         Change hooks to use these functions.
1666
1667         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
1668         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1669         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1670         the source! :-)
1671         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1672         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1673         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1674         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
1675         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1676         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1677         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1678         traced.
1679
1680         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1681         and exit-frame exceptions.
1682
1683         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1684         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1685         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1686         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1687         result; otherwise display "> ".
1688         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1689
1690         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1691         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1692         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
1693         repository version runnable.
1694
1695 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1696
1697         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1698         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
1699         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1700         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1701         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1702         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1703
1704 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1705
1706         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1707         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1708         and eval.
1709         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1710         "defined?".
1711         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1712         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
1713
1714 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1715
1716         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1717
1718 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1719
1720         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1721         %read-sharp layer.
1722
1723 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1724
1725         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1726         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1727
1728 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1729
1730         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
1731         backtrace.c.)
1732
1733 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1734
1735         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1736         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1737
1738 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1739
1740         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1741
1742         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1743         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1744         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1745         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1746         dynamic linking of modules.
1747         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1748         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1749
1750 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1751
1752         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1753
1754 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1755
1756         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1757         that's what it is.
1758
1759         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1760         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
1761         was false.
1762
1763 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1764
1765         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1766         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1767         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1768
1769 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1770
1771         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1772         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
1773         yet.
1774
1775 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1776
1777         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1778         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1779         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1780
1781 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1782
1783         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1784         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1785         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1786         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1787
1788         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1789         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1790         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1791         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1792         (such as the-scm-module).
1793
1794 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1795
1796         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1797         %search-load-path.
1798
1799 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
1800
1801         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1802         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1803         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1804
1805 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1806
1807         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1808         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1809         function, use it accordingly.
1810
1811 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1812
1813         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
1814         function of no arguments.
1815         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1816         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1817         set-current-module): Uses changed.
1818         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1819         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1820         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1821         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1822         *top-level-eval-closure*.
1823
1824 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1825
1826         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1827         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1828
1829 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1830
1831         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1832         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1833         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
1834         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
1835         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1836
1837         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1838         `*features*'.
1839
1840         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1841         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
1842         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1843         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1844
1845         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1846
1847         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1848
1849         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1850         If the user wants to see this, he can do
1851         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1852
1853         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1854         error.
1855
1856         Added `before-read-hook'.
1857
1858         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1859
1860         (provide): New function.
1861
1862         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1863         in backtraces.
1864
1865         (backtrace): New function.
1866
1867         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1868         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1869         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
1870         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1871         is found in operator position in a frame.
1872
1873         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1874         by default.
1875
1876         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1877         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1878         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1879
1880         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
1881
1882         (library-vicinity): Updated.
1883
1884         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1885
1886         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1887
1888 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1889
1890         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1891
1892         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1893         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
1894
1895         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1896         so they'll get distributed.
1897
1898         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
1899         should see as little clutter as possible.
1900         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1901         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1902         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1903
1904         * r4rs.scm: New file.
1905         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1906         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1907         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1908         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1909         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1910         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1911         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1912         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1913         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1914         that are not.
1915         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1916         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1917
1918         * test.scm: New file.
1919
1920         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1921         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
1922         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1923
1924         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1925         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1926
1927         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1928         work now.
1929         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
1930         call %load-announce.
1931
1932 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1933
1934         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1935         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1936         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1937         components.
1938         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1939
1940 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1941
1942         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1943         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1944         SCSH (which this isn't).
1945
1946 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1947
1948         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1949
1950 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1951
1952         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1953         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1954         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1955         these.
1956         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
1957         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
1958         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1959         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1960         save-stack.
1961
1962 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1963
1964         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1965
1966         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1967
1968         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1969         error-catching-loop.
1970         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1971         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1972         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1973
1974         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1975         error-catching-loop.
1976
1977 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1978
1979         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1980         (make-module): Rework for readability.
1981         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1982         should be '(), not #f.
1983
1984         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1985         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1986
1987 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1988
1989         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1990         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1991         error-signal.
1992
1993 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1994
1995         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1996         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1997         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1998         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1999
2000 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2001
2002         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2003
2004 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2005
2006         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2007
2008         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2009         throw-handler-default.
2010         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2011         reported.
2012         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2013         acro.
2014         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2015         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2016
2017 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2018
2019         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2020         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2021         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2022         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2023
2024 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2025
2026         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2027         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2028         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2029         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2030         ...))
2031         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2032         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2033         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2034         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2035         file-is-directory?
2036
2037 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2038
2039         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2040
2041         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2042         distribution.
2043
2044         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2045         `switch-repl'.
2046
2047         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2048
2049 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2050
2051         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2052         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2053
2054 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2055
2056         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2057
2058         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2059
2060 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2061
2062         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2063         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2064         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2065         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2066         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2067
2068         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2069         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2070         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2071         they seem redundant.
2072         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2073         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2074         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2075         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2076         directly files starting with "/").
2077         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2078         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2079
2080         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2081
2082 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2083
2084         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2085         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2086         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2087         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2088         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2089         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2090         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2091         robust to just do it in the C code.
2092
2093 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2094
2095         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2096         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2097         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2098         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2099         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2100
2101 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2102
2103         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2104         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2105         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2106
2107 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2108
2109         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2110         system-error, not every kind of error.
2111         (scm-error): new procedure.
2112
2113 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2114
2115         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2116
2117 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2118
2119         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2120         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
2121         of args are supplied.
2122         (%%system-errors): removed.
2123         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2124         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2125         %%handle-system-error.
2126         (%%default-error-handler): removed.

2156
2157         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2158         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2159         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2160         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2161         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

2198         for these.
