1 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
4 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
5 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
6 instead of remove-if when iterating.
7 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
8 delete-if! when iterating.
10 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
12 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
14 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
16 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
18 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
20 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
21 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
22 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
23 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
25 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
27 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
28 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
30 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
32 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
33 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
34 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
35 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
37 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
39 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
40 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
42 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
44 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
45 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
47 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
49 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
52 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
54 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
55 source of the numerous very short changes.
57 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
59 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
62 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
65 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
67 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
70 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
72 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
73 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
75 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
77 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
80 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
82 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
83 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
84 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
86 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
88 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
89 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
90 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
91 Narazaki for this change.
93 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
95 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
96 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
99 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
100 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
102 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
104 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
105 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
107 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
109 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
110 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
111 use define-public to export from the module.
113 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
115 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
116 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
117 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
119 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
121 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
123 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
125 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
126 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
128 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
130 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
132 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
134 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
136 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
138 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
139 long_long uniform vectors.
141 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
143 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
144 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
146 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
148 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
149 script to create generated files like this one.
151 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
153 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
154 available before using getpw and getuid.
155 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
156 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
158 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
159 check for .guile, instead of stat.
160 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
162 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
163 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
164 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
166 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
167 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
169 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
171 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
173 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
176 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
177 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
179 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
181 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
183 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
184 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
185 ("position"): New command.
186 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
187 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
188 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
189 to return a valid state.)
190 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
192 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
194 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
195 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
198 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
200 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
201 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
203 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
205 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
207 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
209 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
210 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
212 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
213 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
214 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
216 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
219 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
221 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
222 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
224 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
226 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
228 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
229 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
230 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
231 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
233 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
236 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
237 both forward and backward views of the stack
238 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
239 Use selector `frame-number';
240 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
241 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
243 Use readline conditionally.
245 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
247 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
248 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
249 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
251 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
252 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
255 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
257 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
259 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
261 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
263 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
265 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
267 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
268 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
269 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
270 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
271 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
272 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
273 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
274 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
275 libguile-config-stamp.
276 * version.scm.in: Delete.
277 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
278 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
279 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
280 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
282 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
284 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
285 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
286 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
288 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
289 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
290 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
291 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
294 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
296 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
298 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
300 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
302 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
303 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
305 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
307 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
308 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
309 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
310 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
311 objects starting with '#/'.
313 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
315 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
316 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
317 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
318 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
319 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
320 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
322 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
323 module-modified): New procedures.
324 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
325 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
327 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
329 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
332 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
334 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
335 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
336 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
338 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
341 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
343 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
344 at multiple calls to read.
345 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
346 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
347 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
348 continued-lines prompt.
350 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
353 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
355 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
356 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
358 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
360 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
361 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
364 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
366 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
367 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
369 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
370 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
371 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
372 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
373 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
376 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
378 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
379 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
381 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
383 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
384 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
385 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
386 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
388 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
390 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
392 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
393 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
394 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
397 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
399 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
400 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
401 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
402 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
403 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
404 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
405 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
406 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
407 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
408 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
409 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
411 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
413 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
414 peeked from the stream.
415 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
416 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
417 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
419 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
421 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
422 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
424 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
426 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
427 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
428 exiting repl with single control-D.
430 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
432 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
433 error catching loop after quit received.
434 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
436 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
437 primitive exit if non-interactive.
438 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
440 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
441 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
443 * popen.scm: new file.
445 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
447 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
448 (reverse-iota): removed.
450 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
452 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
453 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
455 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
457 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
458 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
459 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
460 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
461 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
463 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
465 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
467 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
468 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
470 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
471 Guile's module system.
473 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
475 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
476 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
477 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
478 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
479 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
480 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
482 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
483 '() when the condition is false.
485 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
487 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
489 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
491 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
493 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
495 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
496 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
497 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
499 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
501 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
502 argument order for hash-fold.
504 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
506 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
508 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
509 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
511 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
512 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
513 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
514 has been added to the load path).
518 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
520 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
521 module between system and user state.
523 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
525 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
527 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
530 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
532 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
533 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
534 system can create a wrapper class for it.
536 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
538 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
539 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
540 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
541 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
542 stack frame encountered.
544 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
545 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
546 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
547 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
550 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
551 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
552 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
553 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
556 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
557 define-module switches:
562 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
565 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
566 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
567 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
568 module it is a system frame.
570 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
571 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
572 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
573 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
574 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
576 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
577 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
578 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
579 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
580 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
581 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
583 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
585 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
586 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
588 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
589 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
590 closure to the module.
592 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
594 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
596 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
598 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
600 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
602 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
604 Fix from Russ McManus:
605 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
606 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
607 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
608 either an optional or required value.
610 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
612 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
614 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
615 of the '() key, not `rest'.
617 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
618 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
619 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
620 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
622 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
624 * optargs.scm: New file.
625 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
626 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
628 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
630 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
631 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
632 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
634 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
636 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
637 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
640 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
642 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
644 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
646 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
647 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
648 applied to the module itself.
650 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
652 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
654 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
655 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
657 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
659 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
661 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
663 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
665 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
667 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
668 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
670 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
672 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
673 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
674 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
675 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
676 among BINDINGS is referenced.
677 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
678 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
680 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
682 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
683 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
685 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
687 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
688 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
691 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
693 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
695 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
697 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
699 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
701 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
702 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
703 adapt to the new hooks.
705 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
707 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
708 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
709 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
711 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
712 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
714 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
715 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
716 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
717 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
718 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
719 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
720 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
721 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
722 first to register linked modules.
724 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
725 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
726 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
728 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
729 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
730 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
731 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
733 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
735 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
738 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
739 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
740 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
742 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
744 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
745 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
746 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
748 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
750 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
751 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
752 result of the last form.
754 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
756 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
759 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
761 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
762 readline-set!: New options interface.
764 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
766 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
768 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
769 at the end of boot-9.scm.
771 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
773 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
774 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
776 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
778 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
780 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
782 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
783 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
785 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
787 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
789 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
791 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
794 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
796 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
797 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
799 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
801 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
803 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
804 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
805 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
807 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
808 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
810 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
811 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
812 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
814 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
815 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
816 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
817 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
818 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
819 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
821 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
823 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
824 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
826 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
828 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
829 and short vectors #h(...).
831 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
833 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
834 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
835 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
837 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
839 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
840 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
841 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
843 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
845 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
846 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
848 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
849 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
850 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
851 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
853 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
855 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
858 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
859 order to allow the empty list as arg.
860 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
861 context with traps enabled.
863 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
865 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
867 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
869 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
871 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
872 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
873 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
874 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
875 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
877 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
879 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
880 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
882 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
884 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
886 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
888 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
890 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
892 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
894 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
896 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
897 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
899 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
901 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
902 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
903 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
904 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
907 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
908 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
909 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
911 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
913 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
914 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
915 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
916 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
917 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
918 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
919 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
921 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
923 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
925 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
927 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
928 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
929 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
930 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
931 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
932 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
934 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
936 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
937 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
938 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
941 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
943 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
945 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
947 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
949 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
951 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
954 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
956 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
958 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
960 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
961 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
963 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
965 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
966 similar in use to `use-modules'.
967 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
968 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
970 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
971 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
973 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
975 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
977 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
979 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
980 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
983 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
984 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
986 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
987 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
988 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
990 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
992 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
994 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
996 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
997 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
999 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1001 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1003 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1005 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
1006 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1008 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1010 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
1013 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1015 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1016 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1018 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1020 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1022 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1024 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
1027 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1029 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1030 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
1031 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1032 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1033 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1036 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1038 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1039 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1040 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1042 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1044 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1046 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1047 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1049 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1051 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1052 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1053 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1054 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1055 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1056 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1057 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1060 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1062 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1065 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1067 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1068 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1069 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1070 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1071 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1072 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1074 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1076 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1077 usefully so they will work from a script.
1079 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1081 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1082 neighborhood of the record code.
1084 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1086 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1087 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1088 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1089 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1091 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1093 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1094 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1095 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1097 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1099 Add support for readline function.
1100 * readline.scm: New module.
1101 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1102 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1103 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1105 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1106 repl-reader to use them.
1107 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1109 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1111 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1113 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,

1125 #f, abort terminates the process.
1126 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1127 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1129 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

1147 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1149 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1151 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1153 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1155 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1156 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1157 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1158 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1159 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1161 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for

1171 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1172 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1173 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1175 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1176 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1179 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1181 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1183 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1185 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1187 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1188 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1189 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1190 field a separate argument.
1192 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1194 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1196 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1198 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

1211 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1212 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1213 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1215 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1216 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1217 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1218 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1219 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically

1233 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1235 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1236 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1237 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1238 expansion inside the slib module.
1240 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1242 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.

1252 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1254 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1255 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1258 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1260 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1261 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1263 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.

1278 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1280 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1281 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1282 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1283 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1284 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1286 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1287 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1288 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1290 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1291 the syncase interface.
1293 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1295 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1296 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1297 workings of the current module system).
1299 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1301 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1302 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

1311 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1313 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1314 according to the following priorities:
1315 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1316 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1318 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1319 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1320 (new-interpreter): New function.
1322 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1323 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1324 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1326 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1328 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1330 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1332 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".

1340 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1342 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1343 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the

1348 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1349 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

1354 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1357 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when

1361 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1363 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1364 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1366 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1368 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1369 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1371 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1372 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1374 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1376 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1378 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1379 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.

1398 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1400 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1401 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1402 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1404 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1405 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1408 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1409 order to narrow it correctly.
1410 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

1423 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1424 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1426 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1428 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1429 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1430 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1432 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1434 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1437 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1439 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,

1464 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1465 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1466 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1467 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1468 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1469 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1471 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1472 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1473 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1474 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1476 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1478 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1479 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1480 sending in bug reports.
1481 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1482 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1483 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1484 display a warning if the two are different.
1485 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1486 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1487 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1493 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1495 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1496 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1498 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1499 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1500 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1501 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1502 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1503 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1506 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1507 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1510 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1511 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1513 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1516 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1519 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1524 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1526 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1527 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1529 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1531 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1532 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1533 to support printing of structures.
1534 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1535 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1536 commented out printing code.
1537 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1538 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".

1547 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1548 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1549 during call to scm-style-repl.
1551 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1553 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1554 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1555 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1556 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1557 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1559 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1561 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1562 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1565 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1567 * regex.scm: New file.
1568 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1569 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1574 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1575 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1576 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1578 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1580 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1583 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1585 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1586 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1587 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1589 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1591 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1592 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1595 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1597 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1599 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1601 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1603 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1605 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1606 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1609 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1611 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1612 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1613 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1615 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1617 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1618 the Scheme code like code yet.
1619 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1621 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1623 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1624 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1625 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1627 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1629 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1631 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1634 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1636 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1638 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1640 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1642 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1643 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1644 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1646 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1648 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1649 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1650 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1652 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1654 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1655 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1657 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1659 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1662 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1664 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1666 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1668 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1669 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1671 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1673 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1674 instead of in libguile.
1675 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1676 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1678 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1680 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1682 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1683 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1685 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1687 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1688 sockaddr:port): new functions.
1690 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1692 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1693 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1694 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1695 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1697 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1699 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1700 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1702 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1704 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1706 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1708 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1709 keywords and symbols.
1711 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1713 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1715 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1716 Don't define read-sharp.
1718 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1719 (read-sharp): removed.
1720 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1721 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1723 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1725 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1727 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
1728 primitive procedure.)
1730 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1731 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1733 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1735 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1737 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1739 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1741 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1743 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1745 * (exit): alias for quit.
1747 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1749 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1750 return the quit args.
1751 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1752 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1753 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1755 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1757 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1759 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1761 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1762 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1764 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1765 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1767 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1768 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1771 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1773 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1775 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1776 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1777 Change hooks to use these functions.
1779 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1780 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1781 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1783 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1784 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1785 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1786 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1787 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1788 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1789 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1792 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1793 and exit-frame exceptions.
1795 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1796 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1797 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1798 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1799 result; otherwise display "> ".
1800 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1802 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1803 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1804 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1805 repository version runnable.
1807 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1809 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1810 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1811 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1812 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1813 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1814 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1816 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1818 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1819 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1821 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1823 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1824 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1826 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1828 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1830 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1832 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1835 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1837 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1838 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1840 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1842 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1845 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1847 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1848 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1850 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1852 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1854 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1855 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1856 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1857 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1858 dynamic linking of modules.
1859 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1860 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1862 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1864 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1866 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1868 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1871 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1872 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1875 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1877 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1878 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1879 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1881 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1883 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1884 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1887 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1889 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1890 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1891 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1893 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1895 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1896 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1897 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1898 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1900 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1901 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1902 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1903 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1904 (such as the-scm-module).
1906 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1908 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1911 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1913 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1914 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1915 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1917 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1919 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1920 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1921 function, use it accordingly.
1923 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1925 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1926 function of no arguments.
1927 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1928 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1929 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1930 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1931 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1932 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1933 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1934 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1936 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1938 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1939 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1941 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1943 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1944 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1945 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1946 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1947 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1949 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1952 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1953 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1954 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1955 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1957 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1959 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1961 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1962 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1963 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1965 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1968 Added `before-read-hook'.
1970 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1972 (provide): New function.
1974 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1977 (backtrace): New function.
1979 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1980 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1981 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1982 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1983 is found in operator position in a frame.
1985 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1988 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1989 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1990 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1992 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1994 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1996 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1998 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2000 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2002 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2004 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2005 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
2007 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2008 so they'll get distributed.
2010 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
2011 should see as little clutter as possible.
2012 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2013 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2014 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2016 * r4rs.scm: New file.
2017 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2018 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2019 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2020 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2021 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2022 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2023 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2024 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2025 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2027 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2028 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2030 * test.scm: New file.
2032 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2033 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
2034 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2036 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2037 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2039 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2041 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2042 call %load-announce.
2044 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2046 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2047 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2048 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2050 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2052 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2054 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2055 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2056 SCSH (which this isn't).
2058 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2060 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2062 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2064 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2065 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2066 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2068 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2069 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2070 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2071 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2074 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2076 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2078 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2080 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2081 error-catching-loop.
2082 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2083 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2084 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2086 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2087 error-catching-loop.
2089 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2091 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2092 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2093 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2094 should be '(), not #f.
2096 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2097 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2099 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2101 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2102 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2105 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2107 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2108 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2109 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2110 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2112 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2114 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2116 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2118 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2120 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2121 throw-handler-default.
2122 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2124 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2126 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2127 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2129 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2131 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2132 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2133 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2134 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2136 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2138 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2139 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2140 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2141 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2143 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2144 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2145 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2146 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2149 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2151 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2153 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2156 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2159 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2161 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2163 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2164 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2166 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2168 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2170 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2172 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2174 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2175 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2176 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2177 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2178 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2180 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2181 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2182 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2183 they seem redundant.
2184 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2185 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2186 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2187 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2188 directly files starting with "/").
2189 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2190 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2192 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2194 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2196 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2197 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2198 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2199 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2200 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2201 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2202 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2203 robust to just do it in the C code.
2205 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2207 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2208 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2209 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2210 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2211 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2213 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2215 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2216 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2217 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2219 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2221 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2222 system-error, not every kind of error.
2223 (scm-error): new procedure.
2225 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2227 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2229 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2231 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2232 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2233 of args are supplied.
2234 (%%system-errors): removed.
2235 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2236 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2237 %%handle-system-error.
2238 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2239 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2240 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2241 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2243 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2245 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2246 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2247 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2248 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2250 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2252 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2253 the empty list if they are #f.
2254 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2256 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2258 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2260 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2261 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2262 aborting, just the key and subr.
2263 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2264 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2265 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2267 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2269 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2270 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2271 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2272 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2273 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2275 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2277 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2278 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2279 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2280 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2282 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2284 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2285 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2286 initialize %load-path.
2288 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2289 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2291 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2293 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2294 Add the directory named after the version number.
2295 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2296 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2297 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2298 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2299 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2300 (install): Create the above directories.
2301 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2302 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2304 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2306 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2307 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2308 in the Makefile directly.
2309 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2311 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2313 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2314 here, where people expect to find them.
2316 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2318 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2319 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2321 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2323 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2325 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2326 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2328 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2330 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2331 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2333 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2334 weak-key-hash-table.
2336 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2338 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2339 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2340 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2341 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2342 (%open-file): removed.
2343 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2344 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2346 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2348 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2349 (manifest): Deleted.
2350 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2351 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2353 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2355 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2356 now that they throw errors directly.
2357 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2358 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2360 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2362 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2364 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
