ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
   2
   3         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
   4         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
   5         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
   6         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
   7         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
   8         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
   9         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
  10         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
  11         libguile-config-stamp.
  12         * version.scm.in: Delete.
  13         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
  14         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
  15         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
  16         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
  17
  18 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  19
  20 *       * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
  21         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
  22         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
  23         Use readline conditionally.
  24
  25 *       * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
  26         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
  27         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
  28         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
  29         readline.
  30
  31         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
  32
  33 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
  34
  35         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
  36
  37 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  38
  39         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
  40         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
  41
  42 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
  43
  44         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
  45         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
  46         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
  47         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
  48         objects starting with '#/'.
  49
  50 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  51
  52         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
  53         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
  54         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
  55         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
  56         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
  57         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
  58         `observer-id'.
  59         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
  60         module-modified): New procedures.
  61         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
  62         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
  63
  64 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  65
  66         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
  67         defines.
  68
  69 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
  70
  71         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
  72         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
  73         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
  74
  75         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
  76         position.
  77
  78 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
  79
  80         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
  81         at multiple calls to read.
  82         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
  83         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
  84         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
  85         continued-lines prompt.
  86
  87         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
  88         reading expressions.
  89
  90 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
  91
  92         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
  93         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
  94
  95 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
  96
  97         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
  98         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
  99         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 100
 101         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 102
 103         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 104         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 105
 106         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 107         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 108         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 109         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 110         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 111         instead of a port.
 112
 113 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 114
 115         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 116         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 117
 118         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 119
 120         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 121         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 122         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 123         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 124
 125         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 126
 127         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 128
 129         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 130         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 131         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 132         an alist.
 133
 134         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 135
 136         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 137         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 138         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 139         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 140         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 141         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 142         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 143         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 144         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 145         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 146         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 147
 148         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 149
 150         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 151         peeked from the stream.
 152         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 153         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 154         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 155
 156         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 157
 158         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 159         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 160
 161         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 162
 163         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 164         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 165         exiting repl with single control-D.
 166
 167         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 168
 169         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 170         error catching loop after quit received.
 171         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 172
 173         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 174         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 175         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 176
 177         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 178         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 179         boot-9.scm.
 180         * popen.scm: new file.
 181
 182 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 183
 184        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 185        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 186
 187 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 188
 189         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 190         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 191
 192 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 193
 194         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 195         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 196         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 197         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 198         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 199
 200 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 201
 202         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 203
 204         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 205         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 206
 207         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 208         Guile's module system.
 209
 210         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 211         changes:
 212         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 213         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 214         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 215         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 216         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 217         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 218         modern CL behavior.
 219         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 220         '() when the condition is false.
 221
 222 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 223
 224         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 225
 226 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 227
 228         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 229
 230 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 231
 232         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 233         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 234         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 235
 236 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 237
 238         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 239         argument order for hash-fold.
 240
 241 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 242
 243         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 244         resolve-module.
 245         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 246         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 247
 248         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 249         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 250         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 251         has been added to the load path).
 252
 253         Use try-load-module.
 254
 255 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 256
 257         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 258         module between system and user state.
 259
 260 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 261
 262         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 263
 264         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 265         definition.
 266
 267 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 268
 269         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 270         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 271         system can create a wrapper class for it.
 272
 273 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 274
 275         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
 276         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
 277         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
 278         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
 279         stack frame encountered.
 280
 281         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
 282         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
 283         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
 284         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
 285         list).]
 286
 287         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
 288         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
 289         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
 290         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
 291         please tell me!]
 292
 293         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
 294         define-module switches:
 295
 296         (define-module (foo)
 297           :no-backtrace)
 298
 299         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
 300         modules.
 301
 302         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
 303         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
 304         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
 305         module it is a system frame.
 306
 307         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
 308         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
 309         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
 310         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
 311         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
 312
 313         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
 314         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
 315         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
 316         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
 317         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
 318         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
 319
 320         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
 321         status of a module.;
 322         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
 323         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
 324
 325         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
 326         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
 327         closure to the module.
 328
 329         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
 330
 331 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 332
 333         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
 334
 335 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 336
 337         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
 338
 339 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 340
 341         Fix from Russ McManus:
 342         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
 343         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
 344         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
 345         either an optional or required value.
 346
 347 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 348
 349         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
 350
 351         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
 352         of the '() key, not `rest'.
 353
 354         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
 355         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
 356         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
 357         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 358
 359 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 360
 361         * optargs.scm: New file.
 362         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
 363         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
 364
 365 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 366
 367         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
 368         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
 369         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 370
 371 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 372
 373         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
 374         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
 375         for isn't loaded.
 376
 377 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 378
 379         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 380
 381 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 382
 383         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
 384         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
 385         applied to the module itself.
 386
 387 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 388
 389         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
 390
 391         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
 392         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
 393
 394 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 395
 396         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
 397
 398 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 399
 400         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
 401
 402 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 403
 404         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
 405         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
 406
 407 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 408
 409         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
 410         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
 411         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
 412         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
 413         among BINDINGS is referenced.
 414         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
 415         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
 416
 417 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 418
 419         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
 420         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
 421
 422 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 423
 424         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
 425         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
 426         static libraries.
 427
 428 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 429
 430         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
 431
 432 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 433
 434         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
 435
 436 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 437
 438         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
 439         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
 440         adapt to the new hooks.
 441
 442 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 443
 444         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
 445         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
 446         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
 447         code.
 448         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
 449         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
 450
 451         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
 452         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
 453         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
 454         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
 455         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
 456         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
 457         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
 458         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
 459         first to register linked modules.
 460
 461         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
 462         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
 463         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
 464
 465         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
 466         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
 467         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
 468         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
 469
 470         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
 471         to use from C:
 472         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
 473         libguile/feature.c.
 474
 475         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
 476         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
 477         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
 478
 479 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 480
 481         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
 482         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
 483         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
 484
 485 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 486
 487         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
 488         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
 489         result of the last form.
 490
 491 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 492
 493         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
 494         syncase.scm.
 495
 496         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
 497
 498         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
 499         readline-set!: New options interface.
 500
 501         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
 502
 503 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 504
 505         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
 506         at the end of boot-9.scm.
 507
 508 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 509
 510         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
 511         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 512
 513 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 514
 515         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
 516         interactive session.
 517         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
 518
 519         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
 520         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
 521
 522 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 523
 524         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
 525
 526 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 527
 528         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
 529         read line was empty.
 530
 531 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 532
 533         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
 534         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
 535
 536         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
 537
 538         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
 539         problem.  Duh.
 540         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
 541         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
 542         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
 543
 544         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
 545         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
 546         into...
 547         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
 548         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
 549         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
 550
 551         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
 552         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
 553         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
 554         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
 555         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
 556         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
 557         psyntax.ss.
 558         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 559
 560         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 561         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 562
 563 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 564
 565         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
 566         and short vectors #h(...).
 567
 568 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 569
 570         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
 571         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
 572         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
 573
 574 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 575
 576         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
 577         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
 578         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
 579
 580 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 581
 582         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
 583         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
 584
 585         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
 586         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
 587         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
 588         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
 589
 590 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 591
 592         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
 593         trace flag.
 594
 595         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
 596         order to allow the empty list as arg.
 597         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
 598         context with traps enabled.
 599
 600 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 601
 602         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
 603         module.
 604         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
 605
 606 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 607
 608         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
 609         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
 610         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
 611         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
 612         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
 613
 614 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 615
 616         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
 617         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
 618
 619 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 620
 621         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
 622
 623 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 624
 625         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
 626
 627 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 628
 629         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
 630
 631 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 632
 633         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
 634         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
 635
 636 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 637
 638         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
 639         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
 640         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
 641         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
 642         Archibald.)
 643
 644         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
 645         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
 646         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
 647
 648 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 649
 650         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
 651         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
 652         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
 653         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
 654         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
 655         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
 656         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 657
 658 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 659
 660         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
 661
 662 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 663
 664         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
 665         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
 666         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
 667         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
 668         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
 669         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
 670
 671 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 672
 673         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
 674         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
 675         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
 676         Steven G. Johnson.)
 677
 678 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 679
 680         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
 681
 682 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 683
 684         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
 685
 686 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 687
 688         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
 689         be completed.
 690
 691 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 692
 693         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
 694
 695 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 696
 697         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
 698         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
 699
 700 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 701
 702         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
 703         similar in use to `use-modules'.
 704         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
 705         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
 706         transformer.
 707         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
 708         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
 709
 710 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 711
 712         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
 713
 714 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 715
 716         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
 717         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
 718         completion.
 719
 720         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
 721         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
 722
 723         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
 724         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
 725         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
 726
 727         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
 728
 729 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 730
 731         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
 732
 733         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
 734         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
 735
 736 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 737
 738         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
 739
 740 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 741
 742         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
 743         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
 744
 745         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
 746
 747         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
 748         obsolete.
 749
 750 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 751
 752         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
 753         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
 754
 755 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 756
 757         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
 758
 759 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 760
 761         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
 762         Stachowiak.)
 763
 764 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 765
 766         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
 767         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
 768         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
 769         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
 770         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
 771         threads.
 772
 773 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 774
 775         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
 776         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
 777         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
 778
 779 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 780
 781         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
 782
 783         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
 784         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
 785
 786 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 787
 788         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
 789         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
 790         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
 791         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
 792         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
 793         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
 794         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
 795         to go here.
 796
 797 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 798
 799         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
 800         is now a fluid.
 801
 802 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 803
 804         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
 805         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
 806         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
 807         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
 808         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
 809         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
 810
 811 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 812
 813         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
 814         usefully so they will work from a script.
 815
 816 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 817
 818         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
 819         neighborhood of the record code.
 820
 821 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 822
 823         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
 824         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
 825         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
 826         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
 827
 828 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 829
 830         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
 831         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
 832         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 833
 834 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 835
 836         Add support for readline function.
 837         * readline.scm: New module.
 838         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
 839         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
 840         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
 841         anything.
 842         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
 843         repl-reader to use them.
 844         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
 845
 846         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
 847
 848 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 849
 850         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 851         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
 852
 853 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 854
 855         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
 856         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
 857         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
 858
 859 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 860
 861         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
 862         #f, abort terminates the process.
 863         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
 864         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
 865
 866 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 867
 868         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
 869         print-state, throw it away.
 870
 871 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 872
 873         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
 874         `0'.
 875
 876 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 877
 878         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
 879         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
 880         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
 881         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
 882         user field).
 883         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
 884         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
 885
 886 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 887
 888         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
 889
 890 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 891
 892         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
 893         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
 894         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
 895         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 896         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
 897         boot-9.scm.
 898         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
 899         distribution and installation.
 900         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 901
 902 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 903
 904         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
 905
 906 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 907
 908         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
 909         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
 910         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
 911
 912         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
 913         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
 914         symbol.
 915
 916 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 917
 918         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
 919
 920         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
 921
 922 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 923
 924         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
 925         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
 926         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
 927         field a separate argument.
 928
 929         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
 930
 931 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 932
 933         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
 934
 935         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
 936         vicinity;
 937         Provide defmacro.
 938
 939 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 940
 941         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
 942
 943 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 944
 945         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
 946         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
 947         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
 948         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
 949         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
 950         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
 951         registered.
 952         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
 953         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
 954         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
 955         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
 956         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
 957         link a .so-file.
 958
 959 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 960
 961         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
 962
 963 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 964
 965         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
 966         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
 967
 968 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 969
 970         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
 971
 972         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
 973         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
 974         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
 975         expansion inside the slib module.
 976
 977         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
 978         constructors.
 979         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
 980         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
 981         (let): New core form.
 982         (if): Removed from core language.
 983         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
 984         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
 985         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
 986
 987         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
 988         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
 989         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
 990         source.
 991         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
 992         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
 993         been loaded.
 994
 995 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
 996
 997         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
 998         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
 999         `use-syntax'.
1000         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1001
1002         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1003         (make-module): Modified initialization.
1004         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1005         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1006         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1007         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1008         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1009         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1010         module.
1011         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1012
1013 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1014
1015         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1016
1017         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1018         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1019         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1020         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1021         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1022
1023         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1024         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1025         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1026         syncase macros.
1027         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1028         the syncase interface.
1029
1030 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1031
1032         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1033         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1034         workings of the current module system).
1035
1036 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1037
1038         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1039         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1040         off!
1041
1042 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1043
1044         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1045         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1046         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1047
1048 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1049
1050         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1051         according to the following priorities:
1052         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1053         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1054         3. tcl bindings
1055         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1056         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1057         (new-interpreter): New function.
1058
1059         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1060         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1061         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1062
1063 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1064

1066
1067 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1068
1069         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
1070
1071 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1072
1073         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1074         procedures.
1075         (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
1076
1077 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1078
1079         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1080         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1081         source!
1082
1083 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1084
1085         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1086         (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
1087         (apropos-internal): New function.  Return list of accessible
1088         symbols matching regexp.
1089
1090         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
1091         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1092         in stack-ref).
1093

1101         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.

1112
1113 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1114
1115         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1116         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1117         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1118
1119         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1120
1121         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1122         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
1123         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman

1136
1137         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1138         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1139         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1140
1141         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1142         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1143         the top.
1144
1145         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1146         order to narrow it correctly.

1159
1160         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1161         builtin `with-fluids*'.
1162
1163 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1164
1165         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1166         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1167         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1168
1169 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1170
1171         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1172         automatically.
1173
1174 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1175
1176         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1177         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1178         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1179         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1180         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1181
1182 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1183
1184         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1185         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1186         a default of /.
1187
1188         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1189
1190 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1191
1192         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1193         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1194         notation, instead of #/ notation.

1197         make-regexp.
1198

1200
1201         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1202         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1203         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1204         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1205         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1206         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1207
1208         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1209         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1210         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1211         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1212
1213 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1214
1215         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1216         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1217         sending in bug reports.
1218         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1219         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1220         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1221         display a warning if the two are different.
1222         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1223         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1224         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1225
1226 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1227
1228         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1229
1230 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1231
1232         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1233         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1234
1235         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1236         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1237         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1238         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1239         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1240         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1241         that's okay.
1242
1243         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1244         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1245         regexp interface.
1246
1247         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1248         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
1249
1250         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1251         function names.
1252
1253         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1254         fixes.
1255
1256 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1257
1258         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1259         ../configure.in.
1260
1261 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1262
1263         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1264         vtable and not the one of the struct.
1265
1266 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1267
1268         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1269         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1270         to support printing of structures.
1271         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1272         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
1273         commented out printing code.
1274         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1275         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1276
1277 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1278
1279         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1280
1281 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1282
1283         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1284         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1285         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1286         during call to scm-style-repl.
1287
1288 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1289
1290         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1291         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1292         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1293         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
1294         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
1295
1296 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1297
1298         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1299         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1300         (ice-9 regex).
1301
1302 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1303
1304         * regex.scm: New file.
1305         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1306         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1307
1308 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1309
1310         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

1318         in 1997.
1319
1320 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1321
1322         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1323         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
1324         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1325
1326 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1327
1328         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1329         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1330         here.
1331
1332 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1333
1334         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1335

1341
1342         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1343         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1344         fixes this too.
1345
1346 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1347
1348         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1349         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1350         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
1351
1352 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1353
1354         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1355         the Scheme code like code yet.
1356         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1357
1358 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1359
1360         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1361         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
1362         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1363
1364 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1365
1366         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1367         use-modules macro
1368         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1369         can't be found.
1370
1371 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1372
1373         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1374
1375 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1376
1377         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1378
1379         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1380         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1381         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1382

1390         no plugins.
1391         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1392         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1403 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1404
1405         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1406         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).

1409
1410         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1411         instead of in libguile.
1412         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1413         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1414
1415 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1416

1418         procedures.

1422 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1423
1424         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1425         sockaddr:port): new functions.
1426
1427 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1428
1429         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1430         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1431         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1432         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)

1436         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1437         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1438
1439 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1440
1441         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1442
1443 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1444
1445         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1446         keywords and symbols.
1447
1448 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1449
1450         * slib.scm: update read usage.
1451
1452         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1453         Don't define read-sharp.
1454
1455         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1456         (read-sharp): removed.
1457         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1458         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1459
1460 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1461
1462         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1463
1464         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
1465         primitive procedure.)
1466
1467         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1468         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1469
1470 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1471
1472         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1473
1474 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1475
1476         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1477
1478 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1479
1480         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1481         read gets EOF.
1482         * (exit): alias for quit.
1483
1484 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1485
1486         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1487         return the quit args.
1488         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1489         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
1490         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1491
1492         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1493
1494 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1495
1496         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1497
1498         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1499         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1500
1501         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1502         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1503
1504         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1505         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1506         of handlers.
1507
1508 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1509
1510         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1511
1512         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1513         (add-hooks!): New macro.
1514         Change hooks to use these functions.
1515
1516         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
1517         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1518         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1519         the source! :-)
1520         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1521         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1522         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1523         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
1524         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1525         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1526         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1527         traced.
1528
1529         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1530         and exit-frame exceptions.
1531
1532         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1533         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1534         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1535         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1536         result; otherwise display "> ".
1537         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1538
1539         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1540         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1541         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
1542         repository version runnable.
1543
1544 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1545
1546         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1547         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
1548         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1549         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1550         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1551         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1552
1553 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1554
1555         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1556         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1557         and eval.
1558         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1559         "defined?".
1560         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1561         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
1562
1563 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1564
1565         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1566
1567 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1568
1569         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1570         %read-sharp layer.
1571
1572 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1573
1574         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1575         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1576
1577 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1578
1579         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
1580         backtrace.c.)
1581
1582 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1583
1584         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1585         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1586
1587 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1588
1589         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1590
1591         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1592         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1593         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1594         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1595         dynamic linking of modules.
1596         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1597         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1598
1599 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1600
1601         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1602
1603 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1604
1605         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1606         that's what it is.
1607
1608         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1609         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
1610         was false.
1611
1612 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1613
1614         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1615         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1616         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1617
1618 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1619
1620         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1621         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
1622         yet.
1623
1624 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1625
1626         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1627         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1628         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1629
1630 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1631
1632         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1633         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1634         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1635         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1636
1637         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1638         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1639         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1640         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1641         (such as the-scm-module).
1642
1643 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1644
1645         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1646         %search-load-path.
1647
1648 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
1649
1650         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1651         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1652         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1653
1654 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1655
1656         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1657         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1658         function, use it accordingly.
1659
1660 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1661
1662         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
1663         function of no arguments.
1664         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1665         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1666         set-current-module): Uses changed.
1667         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1668         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1669         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1670         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1671         *top-level-eval-closure*.
1672
1673 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1674
1675         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1676         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1677
1678 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1679
1680         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1681         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1682         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
1683         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
1684         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1685
1686         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1687         `*features*'.
1688
1689         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1690         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
1691         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1692         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1693
1694         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1695
1696         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1697
1698         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1699         If the user wants to see this, he can do
1700         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1701
1702         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1703         error.
1704
1705         Added `before-read-hook'.
1706
1707         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1708
1709         (provide): New function.
1710
1711         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1712         in backtraces.
1713
1714         (backtrace): New function.
1715
1716         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1717         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1718         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
1719         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1720         is found in operator position in a frame.
1721
1722         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1723         by default.
1724
1725         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1726         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1727         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1728
1729         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
1730
1731         (library-vicinity): Updated.
1732
1733         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1734
1735         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1736
1737 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1738
1739         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1740
1741         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1742         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
1743
1744         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1745         so they'll get distributed.
1746
1747         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
1748         should see as little clutter as possible.
1749         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1750         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1751         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1752
1753         * r4rs.scm: New file.
1754         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1755         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1756         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1757         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1758         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1759         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1760         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1761         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1762         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1763         that are not.
1764         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1765         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1766
1767         * test.scm: New file.
1768
1769         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1770         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
1771         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1772
1773         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1774         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1775
1776         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1777         work now.
1778         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to

1782
1783         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1784         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1785         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1786         components.
1787         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1788
1789 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1790
1791         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1792         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1793         SCSH (which this isn't).
1794
1795 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1796
1797         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1798
1799 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1800
1801         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1802         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1803         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1804         these.
1805         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
1806         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
1807         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1808         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1809         save-stack.
1810
1811 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1812
1813         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1814
1815         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1816
1817         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1818         error-catching-loop.
1819         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1820         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1821         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1822
1823         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1824         error-catching-loop.
1825
1826 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1827
1828         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1829         (make-module): Rework for readability.
1830         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1831         should be '(), not #f.
1832
1833         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1834         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1835
1836 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1837
1838         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1839         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1840         error-signal.
1841
1842 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1843
1844         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1845         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1846         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1847         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1848
1849 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1850
1851         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1852
1853 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1854
1855         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1856
1857         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1858         throw-handler-default.
1859         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1860         reported.
1861         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1862         acro.
1863         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1864         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1865
1866 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1867
1868         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1869         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1870         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1871         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1872
1873 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1874
1875         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1876         Append "." to the default %load-path.
1877         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1878         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1879         ...))
1880         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1881         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1882         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1883         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1884         file-is-directory?
1885
1886 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1887
1888         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1889
1890         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1891         distribution.
1892
1893         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1894         `switch-repl'.
1895
1896         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1897
1898 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1899
1900         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1901         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1902
1903 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1904
1905         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1906
1907         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1908
1909 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1910
1911         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
1912         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1913         Don't set up 'error as a key.
1914         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1915         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1916
1917         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1918         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1919         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1920         they seem redundant.
1921         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1922         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
1923         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1924         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
1925         directly files starting with "/").
1926         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1927         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1928
1929         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1930
1931 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1932
1933         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1934         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1935         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
1936         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1937         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1938         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1939         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
1940         robust to just do it in the C code.
1941
1942 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1943
1944         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
1945         %try-load itself was the primitive.
1946         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
1947         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
1948         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
1949
1950 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1951
1952         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
1953         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
1954         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
1955
1956 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1957
1958         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
1959         system-error, not every kind of error.
1960         (scm-error): new procedure.
1961
1962 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1963
1964         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1965
1966 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1967
1968         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
1969         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
1970         of args are supplied.
1971         (%%system-errors): removed.
1972         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
1973         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
1974         %%handle-system-error.
1975         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
1976         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
1977         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
1978         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
1979
1980 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1981
1982         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
1983         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
1984         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
1985         %S (embed an argument using "write").
1986
1987 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1988
1989         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
1990         the empty list if they are #f.
1991         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
1992
1993 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1994
1995         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
1996
1997         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
1998         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
1999         aborting, just the key and subr.
2000         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2001         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2002         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2003
2004 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2005
2006         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2007         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2008         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2009         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2010         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2011
2012 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2013
2014         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2015         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2016         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2017         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2018
2019 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2020
2021         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2022         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2023         initialize %load-path.
2024
2025         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2026         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2027
2028 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2029
2030         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2031         Add the directory named after the version number.
2032         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2033         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2034         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2035         sitedatadir): New definitions.
2036         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

2041 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2042
2043         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2044         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2045         in the Makefile directly.
2046         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2047         for these.
2048         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2049         aux_files.
2050         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2051         here, where people expect to find them.

2054
2055         * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2056         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2057
2058         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2059
2060 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2061
2062         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2063         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)

2066
2067         * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2068         Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2069
2070         * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2071         weak-key-hash-table.
2072

2074
2075         * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2076         (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes.  return

2079         (%open-file): removed.
2080         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2081         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2082
2083 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2084
2085         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2086         (manifest): Deleted.
2087         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2088         directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2089
2090 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2091
2092         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2093         now that they throw errors directly.
2094         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2095         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2096
2097 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2098
2099         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2100
