ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 2006-10-13  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
   2
   3         Integration of Unix domain socket patch from William Xu:
   4
   5         * gds-client.scm (connect-to-gds): Try to connect by Unix domain
   6         socket if TCP connection fails.
   7
   8         * gds-server.scm (run-server): Update to support listening on a
   9         Unix domain socket.
  10
  11 2006-10-05  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  12
  13         * ftw.scm (visited?-proc): Use hashv since we know we're getting
  14         numbers.  Incorporate stat:dev, since stat:ino is only unique within a
  15         single device.  This fixes a bug where if two files with the same
  16         inode on different devices where seen only the first would be returned
  17         by ftw (and nftw).
  18
  19 2006-10-03  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  20
  21         * gds-client.scm (run-utility): Remove unnecessary
  22         `connect-to-gds' call.
  23
  24 2006-09-30  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  25
  26         * debugging/ice-9-debugger-extensions.scm (debug-trap): Use
  27         `debugger-command-loop' instead of `read-and-dispatch-commands',
  28         which isn't actually available.  Thanks to Carlos Pita for
  29         reporting this.
  30         (debugger-command-loop): Define here for 1.6.x.
  31
  32 2006-09-25  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  33
  34         * debugging/ice-9-debugger-extensions.scm (debugger:step):
  35         Docstring improvements.
  36         (debugger:next): Docstring improvements.
  37         (debugger:continue): Docstring improvements.
  38
  39         * debugger/commands.scm (up, down): Docstring corrections.
  40         (info-args, info-frame, position, evaluate): Docstring
  41         improvements.
  42
  43 2006-09-23  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  44
  45         * boot-9.scm (log, log10, exp, sqrt): Remove, now in
  46         libguile/numbers.c.
  47
  48 2006-09-07  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  49
  50         * format.scm: Module "(ice-9 threads)" no longer used, now no mutex.
  51         (format:parse-float): Fix normalization of leading zeros like "02.5"
  52         to "2.5".  left-zeros was zeroed before adjusting format:fn-dot,
  53         resulting in the latter being unchanged.
  54
  55 2006-08-18  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  56
  57         * debugging/trc.scm: New file.
  58
  59         * debugging/traps.scm: New file.
  60
  61         * debugging/trace.scm: New file.
  62
  63         * debugging/steps.scm: New file.
  64
  65         * debugging/load-hooks.scm: New file.
  66
  67         * debugging/ice-9-debugger-extensions.scm: New file.
  68
  69         * debugging/example-fns.scm: New file.
  70
  71         * debugging/breakpoints.scm: New file.
  72
  73         * debugging/Makefile.am: New.
  74
  75         * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add debugging.
  76
  77 2006-08-02  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  78
  79         * boot-9.scm (%record-type-check): New function.
  80         (record-accessor, record-modifier): Use it for a strict type check of
  81         the given record.  Previously an accessor returned #f on a wrong
  82         record type, and modifier silently did nothing.
  83
  84 2006-06-19  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  85
  86         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add new files.
  87
  88         * gds-client.scm, gds-server.scm: New files.
  89
  90 2006-05-28  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  91
  92         * documentation.scm (file-commentary): Move make-regexp into
  93         file-commentary so that it's possible to get to the repl prompt when
  94         regexps are not available.
  95
  96 2006-05-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  97
  98         * threads.scm (n-par-for-each, n-for-each-par-map): Two more spots
  99         where `futures' should become `threads' from Marius' change of
 100         2006-01-29.
 101
 102 2006-03-04  Ludovic Courtès  <ludovic.courtes@laas.fr>
 103
 104         * ice-9/boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Don't call `set-car!' if
 105         the autoload interface has already been removed from MODULE's uses.
 106         This bug showed up when using a given module both with `autoload' and
 107         `use-module'.
 108
 109 2006-02-21  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 110
 111         * format.scm (format:out-dollar): Use format:out-inf-nan per ~f etc.
 112
 113 2006-02-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 114
 115         * deprecated.scm (make-uniform-array): Don't pass the prototype as
 116         the fill value, dimensions->uniform-array will do the right thing
 117         now.  See scm_dimensions_to_uniform_array why we need to be tricky
 118         about the fill value.
 119
 120 2006-02-04  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 121
 122         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Make sure that module code is
 123         loaded with the default reader (current-reader #f).  Thanks to
 124         Ludovic Courtès for pointing this problem out.
 125
 126         * stack-catch.scm (stack-catch): Use catch pre-unwind handler
 127         instead of lazy-catch.
 128
 129         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Use catch pre-unwind handler
 130         instead of lazy-catch.
 131
 132 2006-02-01  Ludovic Courtès  <ludovic.courtes@laas.fr>
 133
 134         * deprecated.scm (make-uniform-array): Fill the returned vector with
 135         PROT, per guile 1.6 behaviour.
 136
 137 2006-01-30  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 138
 139         * threads.scm (ice-9): Export %thread-handler.
 140
 141 2006-01-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 142
 143         * threads.scm: Replaced 'futures' with threads.
 144
 145 2006-01-13  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 146
 147         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): Use value of current-reader fluid to
 148         do the read, if set.  (Thanks to Ludovic Courtès for the patch.)
 149
 150 2005-12-14  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 151
 152         * boot-9.scm (load-module): Support an optional custom reader arg,
 153         implemented by passing on to r4rs's load.
 154
 155         * r4rs.scm (load): Support an optional custom reader arg,
 156         implemented by passing on to primitive-load.
 157
 158 2005-12-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 159
 160         From Stephen Compall.
 161
 162         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Add srfi-61.
 163
 164 2005-10-27  Ludovic Courtès  <ludovic.courtes@laas.fr>
 165
 166         * networking.scm (sockaddr:flowinfo, sockaddr:scopeid): New functions.
 167
 168 2005-09-01  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 169
 170         * debugger/utils.scm: Export write-frame-long.
 171
 172 2005-08-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 173
 174         * boot-9.scm (set-module-eval-closure!): Undone change from
 175         2005-06-10; with the new weak hashtable semantics, cyclic
 176         references are no longer a problem.
 177
 178 2005-07-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 179
 180         * debugger.scm: Remove comments which are now incorrect.
 181
 182         * debugger/Makefile.am (ice9_debugger_sources): Removed
 183         breakpoints.scm, behaviour.scm, trap-hooks.scm.
 184         (SUBDIRS): Removed.
 185
 186         Changes to remove breakpoint support from CVS, as I am now
 187         developing this function outside Guile core.
 188
 189         * debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
 190         trace-finish, step, next): Removed.
 191
 192         * debugger/breakpoints/*: Removed.
 193
 194         * debugger/breakpoints.scm: Removed.
 195
 196         * debugger/command-loop.scm: Remove command definitions for
 197         continue, finish, trace-finish, step and next.
 198
 199         * debugger/behaviour.scm: Removed.
 200
 201         * debugger.scm (debug-stack): Remove GDS related code.
 202
 203 2005-06-10  Han-Wen Nienhuys  <hanwen@xs4all.nl>
 204
 205         * boot-9.scm (set-module-eval-closure!): remove
 206         set-procedure-property! closure 'module. Setting this property
 207         causes un-gc-able modules.
 208
 209 2005-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 210
 211         * boot-9.scm (substring-fill!): New, for compatability.
 212
 213 2005-04-23  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 214
 215         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Moved to C code in list.c
 216
 217 2005-04-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 218
 219         * boot-9.scm (1+, 1-): Moved to numbers.c.
 220
 221 2005-03-08  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 222
 223         * slib.scm (*features*): Remove 'random, need to use the slib code for
 224         that module since guile doesn't provide `random:chunk'.
 225
 226 2005-02-12  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 227
 228         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): add srfi-55.
 229         (require-extension): add require-extension macro for srfi-55.
 230
 231 2005-01-29  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 232
 233         * regex.scm (regexp-quote): Use string-for-each, now that function is
 234         in the core.
 235
 236 2005-01-28  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 237
 238         * boot-9.scm (while): Remove the unquote from do, it breaks with ice-9
 239         syncase.  Reported by Pach Roman.
 240
 241 2005-01-10  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 242
 243         * arrays.scm, deprecated.scm (uniform-vector-fill!,
 244         make-uniform-vector, make-uniform-array, list->uniform-vector):
 245         Moved from arrays.scm to deprecated.scm.
 246         * arrays.scm, boot-9.scm (array-dimensions): Moved from arrays.scm
 247         to boo-9.scm.
 248         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed arrays.scm.
 249
 250 2005-01-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 251
 252         * arrays.scm (uniform-vector-fill!, make-uniform-vector,
 253         make-uniform-array,list->uniform-array): Deprecated for real.
 254
 255 2004-12-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 256
 257         * arrays.scm (make-array, list->array): Removed.
 258         (uniform-vector-fill!): Prepared to be deprecated.
 259
 260 2004-12-22  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 261
 262         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): When creating a new
 263         variable, initialize it to the value of any imported variable with
 264         the given name.  This allows code like (define round round) to
 265         work as expected.
 266
 267         From Antoine Mathys <tonigonenstein@users.sourceforge.net>:
 268
 269         * popen.scm: Support bidirectional communication by making
 270         open-pipe support OPEN_BOTH as second argument and in that case
 271         return a soft input-output port which uses two pipes internally.
 272         Provide open-pipe* to execute programs without using the shell
 273         (and actually base open-pipe on it) and the obvious
 274         open-input-output-pipe.
 275
 276 2004-12-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 277
 278         * boot-9.scm: (string-any, string-every): Use a scheme wrapper around
 279         the C code so for the final call to the predicate procedure is a tail
 280         call, per SRFI-13 spec.
 281
 282 2004-12-01  mvo  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 283
 284         * boot-9.scm (app, %app): Renamed former to the latter.
 285         Previously, 'app' was reserved in every module.  Now '%app' is
 286         reserved, which is slightly better.  The real fix is to not use
 287         'local-ref' etc to find modules.  Changed all uses.
 288         * syncase.scm: Changed 'app' to '%app'.
 289
 290 2004-11-12  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 291
 292         * arrays.scm: Do not use prototypes, use creator functions.
 293
 294 2004-11-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 295
 296         * arrays.scm (uniform-vector-read!, uniform-vector-write):
 297         Removed.
 298
 299 2004-11-05  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 300
 301         * boot-9.scm: Do not add "." to %load-path. 'load' will still be
 302         able to load files in the current directory, but 'use-modules' etc
 303         will not.
 304
 305 2004-10-29  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 306
 307         * arrays.scm: Do not install read-hash procedure for reading
 308         arrays, this is done in libguile now.
 309
 310 2004-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 311
 312         * arrays.scm (uniform-vector?, uniform-vector-set!): Removed, now
 313         provided by libguile.
 314
 315 2004-10-26  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 316
 317         * boot-9.scm: Added srfi-4 to cond-expand features.
 318
 319 2004-10-18  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 320
 321         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Simplified considerably by using
 322         object->string or display instead of implementing our own printer.
 323         Handle format:read-proof here.  Unreadable objects are recognized
 324         by their "#<" prefix instead of by being unknown to the custom
 325         printer (which would treat keywords as unprintable, for example).
 326         (format:iobj->str): Removed.
 327
 328 2004-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 329
 330         * boot-9.scm (symbol->keyword, keyword->symbol): Removed, they are
 331         now implemented in C.
 332
 333 2004-09-26  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 334
 335         * optargs.scm (let-optional-template, let-keywords-template): Change
 336         "(begin body)" to "(let () body)" for empty bindings, since the former
 337         allows "internal defines" in body leak out to the surrounding
 338         environment.
 339
 340 2004-09-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 341
 342         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Pass rest argument to
 343         display-backtrace for wrong-type-arg and out-of-range errors so
 344         that the bad value gets highlighted.
 345
 346 2004-09-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 347
 348         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): Correction, should recurse into
 349         itself, not stream-for-each-one.
 350
 351         * time.scm (time-proc): Make result inexact, since format ~f doesn't
 352         support fractions currently.
 353
 354 2004-09-08  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 355
 356         * boot-9.scm (expt): Only call integer-expt for an exact integer
 357         exponent, not for an inexact integer one.  Also, let integer-expt
 358         handle negative exponents instead of doing it here.
 359
 360 2004-09-02  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 361
 362         * format.scm (format:out): Ignore excess arguments, per common lisp.
 363
 364         * format.scm (format:out-num-padded): Print "+" on 0 under @ modifier.
 365
 366 2004-08-27  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 367
 368         * regex.scm (regexp-quote): [ and | must be quoted.  Quote ( ) { + ?
 369         using char class [(] etc since \( in fact makes them become special in
 370         regexp/basic.
 371
 372 2004-08-25  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 373
 374         * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Give #t for an empty body, per srfi-2
 375         spec, previously came out as an empty (begin).
 376
 377 2004-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 378
 379         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Added srfi-13 and srfi-14.
 380
 381 2004-08-20  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 382
 383         * debugger/utils.scm (display-source): Use unmemoize-expr instead
 384         of unmemoize.
 385         (write-frame-short/expression): Likewise.
 386
 387 2004-08-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 388
 389         * and-let-star.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-2, since this module
 390         provides that feature.
 391         * receive.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-8, since this module
 392         provides that feature.
 393
 394 2004-08-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 395
 396         From Matthias Koeppe.  Thanks!

 398         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): In the local procedure `wr', use
 399         object->string to print all data (except for the reader macros),
 400         rather than implementing an own printer.  The user-visible
 401         difference is that procedures and control characters like #\tab
 402         are now printed in the same way as by `write'.
 403
 404 2004-08-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 405
 406         * slib.scm (*features*): Remove array and array-for-each, core
 407         definitions are insufficient for latest slib.
 408         (t, nil): New constants slib says are supposed to exist.
 409         (call-with-open-ports, browse-url): New functions for latest slib.
 410         Implementations taken from Template.scm (public domain).
 411         (open-file): Extend core definition to accept symbols for the mode,
 412         required by latest slib.
 413         (delete-file): Replace core definition with version returning #t/#f as
 414         per slib spec.
 415         (system): Mark as #:replace to suppress override warning, use new
 416         style "(@ (guile) system)" to call core function.
 417
 418 2004-05-25  Matthias Koeppe  <mkoeppe@mail.math.uni-magdeburg.de>
 419
 420         * format.scm: Remove the arbitrary limit of 100 iterations for the
 421         ~{...~} control structure.
 422
 423 2004-07-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 424
 425         * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Remove unused variable "val".
 426         * pretty-print.scm (read-macro-prefix): Remove unused variable "tail".
 427
 428         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Add srfi-6 which is in the core.
 429
 430         * safe-r5rs.scm (re-export): Uncomment numerator, denominator,
 431         rationalize, since they now exist.
 432
 433 2004-07-05  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 434
 435         * slib.scm (system): Correction to redefinition, now guile is stricter
 436         about when a define binding comes into existance.
 437
 438 2004-05-29  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
 439
 440         * boot-9.scm: Reordered definitions such that macro definitions
 441         preceed their first usage.  Include and define deprecated stuff
 442         late in the file to have a better change of detecting accidental
 443         uses of deprecated definitions. Further, unified the layout a
 444         little and grouped definitions more cleanly into topics.
 445
 446 2004-05-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 447
 448         * history.scm (use-value-history): Use resolve-interface instead
 449         of resolve-module so that only the exported bindings are searched.
 450         (save-value-history): Export the newly defined variable.  Reported
 451         by Wolfgang Jaehrling.
 452
 453 2004-05-04  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
 454
 455         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): Always start searching from the
 456         root module.  This will allow the C equivalent scm_resolve_module
 457         to work, independent of what the current module is.
 458
 459 2004-02-18  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 460
 461         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Make the (guile-user) module use the
 462         (ice-9 r5rs) module.
 463
 464 2004-02-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 465
 466         * boot-9.scm (module-map): Renamed hash-map -> hash-map->list.

 473
 474 2004-02-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 475
 476         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES),
 477         debugger/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES), Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES): Use
 478         this variable instead of ETAGS_ARGS so that TAGS can be built
 479         using separate build directory.
 480
 481 2004-01-20  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 482
 483         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Back out 2003-11-19 change to
 484         lazy-handler-dispatch lookup.
 485
 486 2004-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 487
 488         * mapping.scm: Use '#:' prefix for keywords instead of ':'.
 489         Thanks to Richard Todd!
 490
 491 2004-01-11  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 492
 493         * slib.scm (system): New function, giving an exit code return in
 494         accordance with slib spec.
 495
 496         Revert this, it breaks test-suite/tests/r5rs_pitfalls.test where
 497         false-if-exception is used within syntax-rules.  (Suspect syntax-rules
 498         ought to support this sort of thing, but it doesn't right now.)
 499         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
 500         to depend on expansion environment.
 501
 502 2004-01-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

 512 2004-01-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 513
 514         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
 515         to depend on expansion environment.
 516
 517         * slib.scm (-1+, <?, <=?, =?, >?, >=?): Define as aliases for 1-, <,
 518         <=, =, >, >= respectively, required by slib 'rev2-procedures but no
 519         longer in the guile core.
 520
 521 2003-11-19  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 522
 523         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Defer lookup of

 527

 533
 534 2003-11-11  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 535
 536         * debugger.scm: Change ui-* calls to gds-*.
 537         (debug-on-error): Debug if throw key is in specified syms, not if
 538         it isn't!  Also throw 'abort after debugging, so as to skip the
 539         REPL's backtrace.
 540
 541         * debugger/behaviour.scm (*trap*): New variable, stores trap type.
 542         (before-enter-frame-hook, before-apply-frame-hook,
 543         before-exit-frame-hook): Set here.
 544         (debug-if-flag-set): Passed into flags on debug-stack call.
 545         (at-step, at-next): Changed to debug at frame exit points as well.

 556         debug immediately on connection.

 561         handler.
 562
 563 2003-10-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 564

 574

 581         * debugger/ui-client.scm (ui-disable-async-thread,
 582         ui-continue-async-thread, start-async-ui-thread): New.
 583         (ui-command-loop): Call ui-disable-async-thread and
 584         ui-continue-async-thread.
 585         (handle-instruction): Read terminating newline char so it doesn't
 586         cause following select to pop immediately.
 587
 588 2003-09-25  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 589
 590         * debugger/ui-client.scm, debugger/ui-server.scm: New (work in
 591         progress on new debugging front end).
 592
 593 2003-09-24  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 594
 595         * debugger.scm (default-default-lazy-handler, debug-on-error):
 596         New.
 597
 598         * debugger/behaviour.scm (debug-if-flag-set): Display debug entry
 599         messages through (debugger-output-port).
 600         (after-exit-frame-hook): Trace through (debugger-output-port).

 602
 603         * debugger/commands.scm (evaluate): If supplied expression is a
 604         string, read from it before evaluating.
 605         (evaluate): Change output format to "EXPR => VALUE".
 606
 607 2003-09-19  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 608

 613
 614         * format.scm (format): Rewritten as a big letrec to make it

 616
 617 2003-09-13  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 618
 619         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?): Use stat rather than access?, so as to
 620         follow the effective UID/GID not the real ID.  file-exists? is
 621         normally used as a prelude to opening or some other operation, and
 622         it's the effective ID which will apply there.  Emacs file-exists-p
 623         uses stat, presumably for the the same reason.
 624

 630         for empty ones.
 631
 632         * format.scm (format:error): Use 'format:format' instead of
 633         'format' since the latter will lock the mutex again that we have
 634         already locked.
 635         (format:format-work): Flag multiple '#' as an error.
 636
 637 2003-08-17  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 638
 639         * boot-9.scm (while): Use a new key dynamically for each loop, so
 640         break and continue associate to their loop even when recursing.
 641
 642 2003-08-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 643
 644         * boot-9.scm (while): Rewrite, continue as proper escape, break
 645         without return value, break and continue new for each while form,
 646         don't depend on bindings in expansion environment.
 647
 648         * popen.scm (open-process): Close input-fdes, output-fdes and
 649         error-fdes after duping them to 0, 1 and 2.
 650
 651 2003-06-19  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 652
 653         * threads.scm (parallel): For no forms, use `(values)' not `(begin)'.
 654

 656
 657         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Added missing quote around

 661
 662         * deprecated.scm (list*): Added.
 663
 664 2003-05-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 665
 666         * documentation.scm (file-commentary, find-documentation-in-file): Use
 667         call-with-input-file, to close ports when done.

 670
 671         * gap-buffer.scm (point++n!, point+-n!): Use substring-move!

 682         arguments to hashx-get-handle.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde!
 683

 716
 717         * format.scm (format:out-substr): Update the column counter
 718         correctly. This fixes the behavior of ~T (tabbing) after ~F, for
 719         instance.  Thanks to Matthias Koeppe!

 781         on the use-list based on module name rather than interface
 782         identity so that custom interfaces truly replaces their previous
 783         version.
 784
 785         * boot-9.scm (module-override!, make-mutable-parameter,
 786         lookup-duplicates-handlers, default-module-duplicates-handler):
 787         New functions.

 789         bindings of the same variable.
 790         (process-define-module): Process #:replace.

 800
 801         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Handle #:duplicates.
 802         (module-use-interfaces! process-duplicates): New functions.
 803         (duplicate-handlers): Dictionary of duplicate handlers.

 809         array-for-each.
 810
 811 2003-02-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 812
 813         * boot-9.scm (make-module): Changed default size from 1021 to 31
 814         (since the size now adapts).
 815         (macro-table, xformer-table): Changed default size from 523 to 61.
 816         (make-module): Don't call make-hash-table with zero size.
 817
 818         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added weak-vector.scm.
 819
 820         * weak-vector.scm: New file.

 823         (module-for-each): Use hash-for-each.
 824         (module-map): Use hash-map.
 825
 826 2003-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 827
 828         * boot-9.scm (make-hash-table): Turned primitive.
 829
 830 2003-01-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 831
 832         * syncase.scm (guile-macro): Strip syntactic information from
 833         expression before trying to treat it as a Guile macro call.
 834         (Thanks to Kevin Ryde.)
 835
 836 2003-01-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 837
 838         * threads.scm (parallel, letpar): Rewritten.
 839
 840 2003-01-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 841
 842         * threads.scm (par-mapper, n-par-map, n-par-for-each): Use
 843         futures.
 844
 845 2003-01-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 846
 847         * occam-channel.scm (alt): New syntax.
 848
 849         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Removed.  Guile now provides this
 850         operator as a primitive procedure.
 851         (build-data): Quote vectors (psyntax.ss requires this).
 852
 853 2003-01-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 854
 855         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Allow procedures implanted in
 856         source.  (Guile uses this internally.)
 857
 858 2003-01-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 859
 860         * psyntax.ss (build-data): Don't quote self-evaluating expressions
 861         in output.  (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be
 862         quoted, but until Guile's native macros and syncase cooperates
 863         better, it is less destructive not to quote.)
 864         (self-evaluating?): Removed null? (In Guile, the empty list is not
 865         self-evaluating).
 866         (sc-chi): Export chi as sc-chi.
 867         (external-macro): New syntax type.
 868
 869         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 870
 871         * compile-psyntax.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure.
 872
 873         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Return *unspecified*.
 874
 875         * syncase.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure to
 876         the-syncase-eval-closure during booting so that variables are
 877         created in the correct module.
 878         (syncase): Set expansion-eval-closure.
 879         (define-syntax define-syntax-public eval-when fluid-let-syntax
 880         identifier-syntax let-syntax letrec-syntax syntax syntax-case
 881         syntax-rules with-syntax include): Removed definitions (these are
 882         created from within psyntax.pp).
 883         Enable expansion of Guile macros during a syntax-case
 884         transformation.
 885
 886 2003-01-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 887
 888         * occam-channel.scm (make-channel): Renamed from channel.
 889         (make-timer): New function.
 890
 891         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added occam-channel.scm.
 892
 893         * occam-channel.scm: New file.  Implements occam-like channels.
 894
 895 2002-12-28  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 896
 897         * boot-9.scm (module-defined-hook): New hook, run whenever a new
 898         module is defined.
 899         (process-define-module): Run this hook.
 900
 901 2002-12-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
 902
 903         * threads.scm: Removed bogus definition of future-ref.
 904
 905 2002-12-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 906
 907         * threads.scm (par-map, par-for-each): Reimplemented using
 908         joing-thread.
 909         (parallel): Reimplemented using futures.
 910         (n-par-map, n-for-each): New procedures.
 911
 912 2002-12-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 913
 914         * optargs.scm (improper-list-copy): New.
 915         (parse-arglist): Use it instead of list-copy.
 916
 917 2002-12-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 918
 919         * threads.scm (letpar): New macro.
 920
 921 2002-12-08  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 922
 923         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION ->
 924         GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
 925
 926         * debugger/Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION ->
 927         GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
 928
 929         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION -> GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.

 934          (par-map, par-for-each): New procedures.
 935
 936         * documentation.scm (object-documentation): Added support for
 937         defmacros.

 940
 941         * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax):  Re-introduced after accidentally
 942         removing it in my patch from 2002-11-16.
 943
 944 2002-11-24  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 945
 946         Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
 947         following changes:
 948
 949         * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
 950
 951         (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
 952         %system-define.
 953
 954         * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
 955         until Guile supports hygienic macros.
 956
 957 2002-11-17  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 958
 959         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
 960         has been removed from the core.
 961
 962 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 963
 964         * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
 965         identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
 966         syntax-rules, with-syntax, include):  Changed definitions to form
 967         'real' macro definitions.
 968
 969 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 970
 971         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 972         Fixed my previous fix (blush).
 973
 974 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 975
 976         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 977         Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
 978
 979 2002-11-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 980
 981         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition
 982         needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.
 983
 984 2002-11-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 985
 986         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"
 987         change below.
 988
 989         * debugger/breakpoints/source.scm: Enable source property
 990         recording when module is loaded.
 991         (##): Cope with ports whose `filename' is not a string.
 992

 994
 995         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Simplify code-generation
 996         code.
 997
 998         * debugger/command-loop.scm (read-and-dispatch-command): Import
 999         set-readline-prompt dynamically if we need to.  (Previous
1000         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
1001         readline).)
1002
1003 2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1004
1005         * format.scm (format): Wrap a monitor around format:format since
1006         it is not thread-safe.
1007
1008 2002-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1009
1010         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'.  This
1011         value will be returned by join-thread.
1012
1013 2002-10-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1014
1015         Merging debugger enhancements previously in separate
1016         `guile-debugger' package ...

1019         - see comment in file for more details.
1020         (*not-yet-introduced*): New (avoids repeatedly introducing the

1022         (debug-stack): New.
1023         (debug): Rewrite to use more general `debug-stack'.
1024
1025         * debugger/commands.scm, debugger/command-loop.scm,
1026         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits
1027         of old (ice-9 debugger), plus some rewriting and enhancements for

1035         location in a way that is more easily trackable by Emacs.
1036
1037         * debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
1038         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
1039         execution from a breakpoint.
1040
1041         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,
1042         debugger/breakpoints/procedural.scm,
1043         debugger/breakpoints/range.scm, debugger/breakpoints/source.scm,
1044         debugger/trap-hooks.scm, debugger/trc.scm: New files - breakpoint
1045         support.
1046
1047         * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add debugger subdirectory.
1048
1049         * debugger/Makefile.am, debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am: New.

1052
1053         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Do not call unmask-signals, that
1054         should be unnecessary now.
1055
1056 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
1057
1058         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
1059         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
1060         the-root-module.
1061
1062 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1063
1064         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
1065         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and
1066         call-with-unblocked-asyncs instead of mask-signals and
1067         unmask-signals.
1068
1069 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1070
1071         * buffered-input.scm (make-buffered-input-port): Build an
1072         input-waiting thunk for just extended version of make-soft-port.
1073
1074 2002-10-04  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1075
1076         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
1077         >= 0.

1093
1094         * syncase.scm: Set the module transformer of the-syncase-module so

1167
1168         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's

1174 2002-02-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@giblet.glug.org>
1175
1176         * regex.scm: Add commentary; nfc.
1177
1178 2002-02-05  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@giblet.glug.org>
1179
1180         * Makefile.am: Include $(top_srcdir)/pre-inst-guile.am.
1181
1182         (psyntax.pp): Use $(preinstguile).
1183
1184 2002-01-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1185
1186         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
1187         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
1188         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
1189         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
1190
1191 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1192
1193         More options for pretty-print.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1194
1195         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
1196         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
1197         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
1198
1199 2001-11-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1200
1201         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have
1202         these in the core.
1203
1204 2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1205
1206         * boot-9.scm (turn-on-debugging): New function, to be used by
1207         scm_compile_shell_switches.
1208
1209         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
1210         positions.
1211
1212 2001-10-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
1213
1214         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
1215         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
1216         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
1217
1218         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,
1219           channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,
1220           expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, ls.scm, mapping.scm,

1223           safe.scm, session.scm, slib.scm, streams.scm, string-fun.scm,
1224           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
1225           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
1226           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
1227           exporting bindings.
1228
1229 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
1230
1231         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
1232         :re-export-syntax
1233
1234 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
1235
1236         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
1237         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
1238         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
1239         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
1240
1241 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
1242
1243         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
1244         %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,
1245         %%apropos-internal): Use module-define! instead of
1246         builtin-variable.
1247
1248 2001-09-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
1249
1250         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.

1252 2001-09-19  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>
1253
1254         * expect.scm: Commentary fix; nfc.
1255
1256         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
1257
1258 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1259
1260         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
1261         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
1262
1263 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1264
1265         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
1266         the `arglist' procedure property.
1267         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
1268         present a more detailed argument list.
1269
1270         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1271
1272 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1273
1274         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
1275         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel
1276         Skarda.
1277
1278 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1279
1280         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
1281
1282         (feature?): Deprecated.

1293         (module-make-local-var!, module-ensure-local-variable!,

1295
1296         (try-load-module, use-syntax, module-export!): Remove deprecated
1297         functionality.
1298
1299         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
1300         needed to trick export.
1301
1302 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1303
1304         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.
1305
1306 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1307
1308         * and-let-star-compat.scm:  Deleted.
1309
1310         * Makefile.am: Remove references to and-let-star-compat.scm.
1311
1312 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1313
1314         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
1315         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
1316         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
1317
1318 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1319
1320         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
1321         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
1322
1323 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1324
1325         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

1328
1329         * getopt-long.scm: Rewrite.
1330         Touch up docstrings.
1331         Augment commentary.
1332
1333 2001-08-02  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1334
1335         * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
1336         last-command fluid is not yet set.
1337
1338 2001-08-02  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1339
1340         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
1341
1342         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
1343         value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
1344         next element is to be taken as the option arg.
1345
1346 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
1347
1348         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
1349         handle :use-syntax correctly.
1350
1351 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1352
1353         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
1354         compile-psyntax.scm.
1355
1356 2001-07-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1357
1358         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
1359         maintainer mode.  Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
1360         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
1361         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
1362         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
1363
1364 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1365
1366         * and-let-star.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm, history.scm,

1368         receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
1369
1370 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1371
1372         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
1373         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
1374
1375 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1376
1377         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
1378         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
1379         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
1380         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
1381
1382         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
1383         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
1384         since there aren't definitions for them.
1385
1386         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
1387         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
1388
1389 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1390
1391         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
1392         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
1393
1394 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1395
1396         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
1397         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
1398
1399 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1400
1401         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
1402         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
1403         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
1404
1405 2001-06-30  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1406
1407         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
1408
1409         * tags.scm: Removed file.
1410
1411 2001-06-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1412
1413         Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
1414         is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
1415
1416         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
1417         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
1418         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
1419         New.
1420
1421 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1422
1423         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
1424         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
1425
1426 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1427
1428         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
1429         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
1430
1431         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
1432         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
1433         evaluator trap options.)
1434
1435 2001-06-25  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1436
1437         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.
1438
1439 2001-06-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1440
1441         * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax): New.
1442
1443 2001-06-16  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1444
1445         * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
1446
1447 2001-06-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1448
1449         * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
1450         `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
1451
1452 2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1453
1454         * match.scm:
1455         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
1456         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
1457         No longer require `pretty-print'.
1458
1459         (slib:error): Delete.
1460         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
1461
1462         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
1463
1464         * README: New file.
1465
1466         * common-list.scm:
1467         Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
1468         Add Commentary.
1469         Update copyright.
1470
1471 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1472
1473         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
1474         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
1475         rdelim) module.  See below.
1476
1477 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1478
1479         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
1480         include-deprecated-features is true.
1481
1482 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1483
1484         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
1485         unknown objects.
1486
1487         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
1488         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
1489         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1490
1491         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
1492         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
1493         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
1494         Köppe!
1495
1496 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1497
1498         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
1499         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
1500         variable, not just a visible one.
1501         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
1502         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
1503         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
1504         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
1505         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
1506         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
1507         variables.
1508         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
1509
1510         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
1511         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
1512
1513 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1514
1515         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
1516         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
1517
1518 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1519
1520         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
1521
1522 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1523
1524         Added exception notice to all files.
1525
1526         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
1527         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
1528         importing bindings once in a while.
1529
1530 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1531
1532         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
1533         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
1534         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1535         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,

1538         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
1539         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
1540         message.
1541         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to

1545
1546         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
1547         fix command so that it works.
1548
1549         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
1550         to access unbound variables.

1553         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
1554         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
1555         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
1556         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.

1639
1640         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
1641         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.

1675         (apropos-fold): Likewise.

1680         the default default for bindings.
1681
1682         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to

1693         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
1694         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
1695         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
1696         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
1697         `set-current-module' call.
1698         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to

1734         (%autoloader-developer-mode): Delete.
1735         (process-define-module): Use "define-module" in error messages
1736         instead of "defmodule".  Factor error into internal proc.

1738         Replace some single-arm `if-not' constructs w/ `or'.

2041         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
2042         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
2043
2044         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
2045         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
2046
2047         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
2048         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
2049
2050 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2051
2052         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
2053         in C for now.
2054         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
2055         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
2056
2057 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2058
2059         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
2060         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
2061         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
2062         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
2063         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
2064         for now.
2065         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).

2067
2068 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2069
2070         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
2071         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
2072         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
2073         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
2074         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
2075         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
2076         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
2077

2082
2083 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2084
2085         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
2086         any more.
2087
2088 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2089
2090         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
2091         the-root-module.

2100         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
2101         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
2102         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
2103         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
2104         split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,

2109         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
2110         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
2111         make-shared-substring.
2112
2113 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2114
2115         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
2116         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
2117         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
2118         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
2119         scm-style-repl.
2120
2121 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

2124         and open-output-pipe.
2125
2126 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2127
2128         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
2129         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
2130         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
2131         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
2132         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
2133         Pirotte for the bug report).
2134         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
2135         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
2136
2137 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2138
2139         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.

2145
2146 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2147
2148         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
2149         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
2150         patch.
2151
2152 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2153
2154         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
2155         Jacques A. Vidrine.
2156
2157 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
2158
2159         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
2160         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
2161         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
2162
2163         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
2164         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
2165         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
2166         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
2167         actual documentation entries themselves.

2180         Convert first argument to a string.
2181
2182         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
2183         getter-and-setter-syntax,
2184         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string

2196
2197         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
2198         `symbol-append'.
2199         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
2200         args.
2201         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
2202         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
2203         even worked...  /mdj.
2204         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
2205         `symbol->string'.
2206         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
2207         semantics.

2234         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
2235         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
2236         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
2237         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
2238         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)

2245         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
2246
2247         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
2248         syntactic bindings.
2249

2251         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
2252         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
2253         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
2254

2261
2262         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
2263         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
2264
2265 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
2266
2267         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
2268         definition of module-type.
2269
2270         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
2271
2272         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
2273
2274         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
2275         lines.
2276         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
2277         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
2278
2279 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2280
2281         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
2282
2283 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2284
2285         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
2286         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
2287         Mikael for the suggestion.
2288
2289 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2290
2291         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
2292         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
2293
2294 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2295
2296         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
2297         for export args.
2298
2299 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2300
2301         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
2302
2303 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2304
2305         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
2306         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
2307         for the hint.
2308
2309         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
2310         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
2311         tail recursive yet.
2312
2313 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2314
2315         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
2316         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
2317
2318         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
2319         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
2320         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
2321         See NEWS.
2322         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
2323
2324         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
2325
2326 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2327
2328         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
2329         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
2330
2331 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2332
2333         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
2334         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
2335
2336 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2337
2338         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
2339         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
2340
2341 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2342
2343         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
2344
2345         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2346
2347         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
2348
2349 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2350
2351         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
2352         '() instead of #f.
2353         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
2354         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
2355         `the-root-module'.
2356         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
2357
2358         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
2359         documentation.scm.
2360
2361         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
2362         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
2363         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
2364         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
2365         (help): Rewritten.
2366
2367         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
2368
2369         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
2370
2371 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2372
2373         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
2374         (write-all): Removed.
2375         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
2376         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
2377
2378 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
2379
2380         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
2381         `proc-documentation'
2382
2383         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
2384         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
2385         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
2386         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
2387         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
2388         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
2389         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
2390         getter...)
2391
2392 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2393
2394         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
2395
2396 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2397
2398         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
2399         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
2400         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
2401         closure.
2402
2403 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2404
2405         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
2406         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
2407         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
2408         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
2409         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
2410         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
2411         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
2412
2413 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2414
2415         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
2416         accept complex numbers as parameter.
2417
2418 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2419
2420         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
2421         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
2422
2423 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2424
2425         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
2426         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
2427         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
2428         instead of remove-if when iterating.
2429         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
2430         delete-if! when iterating.
2431
2432 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2433
2434         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
2435
2436 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2437
2438         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
2439
2440 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2441
2442         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
2443         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
2444         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
2445         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
2446
2447 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2448
2449         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
2450         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
2451
2452 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2453
2454         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
2455         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
2456         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
2457         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
2458
2459 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
2460
2461         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
2462         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
2463
2464 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2465
2466         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
2467         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
2468
2469 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2470
2471         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
2472         Dirk Hermann!
2473
2474 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2475
2476         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
2477         source of the numerous very short changes.
2478
2479 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2480
2481         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
2482         public.
2483
2484         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
2485         info pages.
2486
2487 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2488
2489         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
2490         from slib docs.
2491
2492 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2493
2494         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
2495         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
2496
2497 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2498
2499         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
2500         to string-append.
2501
2502 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2503
2504         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
2505         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
2506         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
2507
2508 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2509
2510         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
2511         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
2512         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
2513         Narazaki for this change.
2514
2515 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2516
2517         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
2518         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
2519         %S.
2520
2521         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
2522         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
2523
2524 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2525
2526         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
2527         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
2528
2529 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2530
2531         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
2532         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
2533         use define-public to export from the module.
2534
2535 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2536
2537         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
2538         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
2539         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
2540
2541 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2542
2543         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
2544
2545 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2546
2547         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
2548         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
2549
2550 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2551
2552         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
2553
2554         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
2555
2556         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
2557
2558 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2559
2560         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
2561         long_long uniform vectors.
2562
2563 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2564
2565         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
2566         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
2567
2568 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2569
2570         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
2571         script to create generated files like this one.
2572
2573 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2574
2575         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
2576         available before using getpw and getuid.
2577         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
2578         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
2579         check for stat.
2580         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
2581         check for .guile, instead of stat.
2582         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
2583         available.
2584         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
2585         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
2586         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
2587
2588         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
2589         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
2590
2591         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
2592
2593 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2594
2595         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
2596         than 'exit-debugger.
2597
2598         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
2599         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
2600
2601         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
2602
2603 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2604
2605         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
2606         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
2607         ("position"): New command.
2608         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
2609         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
2610         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected

2612         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
2613
2614 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2615
2616         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
2617         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
2618         Badros.)
2619
2620 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2621
2622         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
2623         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
2624
2625 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2626
2627         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
2628
2629         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
2630
2631         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
2632         (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
2633
2634         * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
2635         display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
2636         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
2637         expression.
2638         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
2639         Handle errors.

2641 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2642
2643         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
2644         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
2645
2646         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
2647
2648 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2649
2650         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
2651         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
2652         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
2653         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
2654
2655         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
2656         argument.
2657
2658         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
2659         both forward and backward views of the stack
2660         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
2661         Use selector `frame-number';
2662         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
2663         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
2664         Use (ice-9 debug).
2665         Use readline conditionally.
2666
2667 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2668
2669         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
2670         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
2671         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
2672
2673         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
2674         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
2675         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
2676
2677 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2678
2679         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
2680
2681         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
2682
2683         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
2684
2685         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2686
2687 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2688
2689         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
2690         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
2691         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
2692         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
2693         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
2694         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
2695         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
2696         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
2697         libguile-config-stamp.
2698         * version.scm.in: Delete.
2699         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
2700         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
2701         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
2702         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
2703
2704 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2705
2706         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
2707         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
2708         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
2709
2710         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
2711         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
2712         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
2713         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
2714         readline.
2715
2716         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
2717
2718 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
2719
2720         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
2721
2722 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2723
2724         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
2725         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
2726
2727 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
2728
2729         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
2730         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
2731         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
2732         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
2733         objects starting with '#/'.
2734
2735 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2736
2737         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
2738         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
2739         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
2740         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
2741         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
2742         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
2743         `observer-id'.
2744         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
2745         module-modified): New procedures.
2746         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
2747         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
2748
2749 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2750
2751         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
2752         defines.
2753
2754 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2755
2756         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
2757         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
2758         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2759
2760         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
2761         position.
2762
2763 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2764
2765         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
2766         at multiple calls to read.
2767         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
2768         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
2769         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
2770         continued-lines prompt.
2771
2772         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
2773         reading expressions.
2774
2775 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2776
2777         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
2778         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2779
2780 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2781
2782         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
2783         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
2784         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2785
2786         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2787
2788         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
2789         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
2790
2791         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
2792         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
2793         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
2794         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
2795         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
2796         instead of a port.
2797
2798 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2799
2800         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
2801         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2802
2803         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
2804
2805         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
2806         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
2807         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
2808         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
2809
2810         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
2811
2812         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2813
2814         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
2815         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
2816         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
2817         an alist.
2818
2819         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2820
2821         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
2822         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
2823         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
2824         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
2825         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
2826         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2827         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
2828         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
2829         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
2830         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2831         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
2832
2833         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2834
2835         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
2836         peeked from the stream.
2837         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
2838         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
2839         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
2840
2841         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2842
2843         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
2844         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
2845
2846         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2847
2848         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2849         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
2850         exiting repl with single control-D.
2851
2852         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2853
2854         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2855         error catching loop after quit received.
2856         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2857
2858         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2859         primitive exit if non-interactive.
2860         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2861
2862         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2863         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2864         boot-9.scm.
2865         * popen.scm: new file.
2866
2867 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2868
2869        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
2870        (reverse-iota):  removed.
2871
2872 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2873
2874         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
2875         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
2876
2877 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2878
2879         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2880         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2881         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2882         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2883         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2884
2885 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2886
2887         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2888
2889         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2890         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2891
2892         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2893         Guile's module system.
2894
2895         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2896         changes:
2897         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2898         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2899         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2900         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
2901         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2902         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2903         modern CL behavior.
2904         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2905         '() when the condition is false.
2906
2907 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2908
2909         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2910
2911 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2912
2913         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2914
2915 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2916
2917         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2918         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2919         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2920
2921 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2922
2923         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2924         argument order for hash-fold.
2925
2926 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2927
2928         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
2929         resolve-module.
2930         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2931         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2932
2933         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2934         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2935         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2936         has been added to the load path).
2937
2938         Use try-load-module.
2939
2940 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2941
2942         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
2943         module between system and user state.
2944
2945 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2946
2947         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2948
2949         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2950         definition.
2951
2952 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2953
2954         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2955         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2956         system can create a wrapper class for it.
2957
2958 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2959
2960         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2961         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
2962         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2963         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2964         stack frame encountered.
2965
2966         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2967         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2968         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2969         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2970         list).]
2971
2972         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2973         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2974         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2975         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2976         please tell me!]
2977
2978         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2979         define-module switches:
2980
2981         (define-module (foo)
2982           :no-backtrace)
2983
2984         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2985         modules.
2986
2987         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2988         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2989         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2990         module it is a system frame.
2991
2992         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2993         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2994         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2995         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2996         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2997
2998         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2999         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
3000         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
3001         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
3002         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
3003         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
3004
3005         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
3006         status of a module.;
3007         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.

3009
3010         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.

3023
3024 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
3025
3026         Fix from Russ McManus:
3027         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
3028         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
3029         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
3030         either an optional or required value.
3031
3032 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
3033
3034         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
3035
3036         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
3037         of the '() key, not `rest'.
3038
3039         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
3040         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
3041         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
3042         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3043
3044 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
3045
3046         * optargs.scm: New file.
3047         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
3048         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
3049
3050 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3051
3052         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
3053         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
3054         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3055
3056 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3057
3058         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
3059         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
3060         for isn't loaded.
3061
3062 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3063
3064         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3065
3066 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3067
3068         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
3069         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
3070         applied to the module itself.
3071
3072 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3073
3074         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
3075
3076         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
3077         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
3078
3079 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3080
3081         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

3086
3087 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
3088
3089         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
3090         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
3091
3092 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3093
3094         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
3095         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
3096         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
3097         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
3098         among BINDINGS is referenced.
3099         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
3100         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
3101
3102 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3103
3104         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
3105         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
3106
3107 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
3108
3109         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
3110         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
3111         static libraries.
3112
3113 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3114
3115         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
3116
3117 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3118
3119         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
3120
3121 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3122
3123         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
3124         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
3125         adapt to the new hooks.
3126
3127 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3128
3129         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
3130         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
3131         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
3132         code.
3133         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
3134         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
3135
3136         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
3137         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
3138         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
3139         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
3140         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
3141         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
3142         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
3143         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
3144         first to register linked modules.
3145
3146         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
3147         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
3148         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
3149
3150         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
3151         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
3152         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
3153         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
3154
3155         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
3156         to use from C:
3157         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
3158         libguile/feature.c.
3159
3160         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
3161         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
3162         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
3163
3164 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3165
3166         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
3167         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
3168         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
3169
3170 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3171
3172         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
3173         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
3174         result of the last form.
3175
3176 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3177
3178         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
3179         syncase.scm.
3180
3181         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
3182
3183         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
3184         readline-set!: New options interface.
3185
3186         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
3187
3188 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3189
3190         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
3191         at the end of boot-9.scm.
3192
3193 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3194
3195         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
3196         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
3197
3198 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3199
3200         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
3201         interactive session.
3202         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
3203
3204         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
3205         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
3206
3207 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3208
3209         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
3210
3211 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3212
3213         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
3214         read line was empty.
3215
3216 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3217
3218         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
3219         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
3220
3221         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
3222
3223         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
3224         problem.  Duh.
3225         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
3226         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
3227         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
3228
3229         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
3230         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
3231         into...
3232         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
3233         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
3234         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
3235
3236         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
3237         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
3238         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
3239         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
3240         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
3241         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
3242         psyntax.ss.
3243         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3244
3245         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
3246         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3247
3248 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3249
3250         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
3251         and short vectors #h(...).
3252
3253 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3254
3255         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
3256         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
3257         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
3258
3259 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3260
3261         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
3262         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
3263         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
3264
3265 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3266
3267         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
3268         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
3269
3270         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
3271         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
3272         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
3273         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
3274
3275 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3276
3277         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
3278         trace flag.
3279
3280         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
3281         order to allow the empty list as arg.
3282         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
3283         context with traps enabled.
3284
3285 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3286
3287         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
3288         module.
3289         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
3290
3291 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3292
3293         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
3294         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
3295         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
3296         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
3297         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
3298
3299 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3300
3301         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
3302         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
3303
3304 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3305
3306         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
3307
3308 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3309
3310         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
3311
3312 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3313
3314         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
3315
3316 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3317
3318         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
3319         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
3320
3321 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3322
3323         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
3324         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
3325         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
3326         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
3327         Archibald.)
3328
3329         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
3330         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
3331         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
3332
3333 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3334
3335         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
3336         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
3337         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
3338         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
3339         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
3340         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
3341         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
3342
3343 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3344
3345         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
3346
3347 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3348
3349         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
3350         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
3351         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
3352         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
3353         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
3354         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
3355
3356 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3357
3358         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
3359         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
3360         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
3361         Steven G. Johnson.)
3362
3363 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3364
3365         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
3366
3367 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3368
3369         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
3370
3371 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3372
3373         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
3374         be completed.
3375
3376 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3377
3378         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
3379
3380 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3381
3382         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
3383         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
3384
3385 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3386
3387         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
3388         similar in use to `use-modules'.
3389         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
3390         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
3391         transformer.
3392         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
3393         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
3394
3395 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3396
3397         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
3398
3399 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3400
3401         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
3402         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
3403         completion.
3404
3405         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
3406         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
3407
3408         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
3409         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
3410         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
3411
3412         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
3413
3414 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3415
3416         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
3417
3418         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
3419         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
3420
3421 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3422
3423         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
3424
3425 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3426
3427         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
3428         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
3429
3430         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
3431
3432         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
3433         obsolete.
3434
3435 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3436
3437         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
3438         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
3439
3440 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3441
3442         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
3443
3444 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3445
3446         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
3447         Stachowiak.)
3448
3449 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3450
3451         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
3452         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
3453         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
3454         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
3455         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
3456         threads.
3457
3458 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3459
3460         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
3461         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
3462         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
3463
3464 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3465
3466         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
3467
3468         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
3469         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
3470
3471 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3472
3473         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
3474         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
3475         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
3476         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
3477         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
3478         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
3479         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
3480         to go here.
3481
3482 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3483
3484         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
3485         is now a fluid.
3486
3487 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3488
3489         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
3490         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
3491         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
3492         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
3493         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
3494         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
3495
3496 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3497
3498         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
3499         usefully so they will work from a script.
3500
3501 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3502
3503         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
3504         neighborhood of the record code.
3505
3506 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3507
3508         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
3509         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
3510         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
3511         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
3512
3513 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3514
3515         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
3516         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
3517         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3518
3519 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3520
3521         Add support for readline function.
3522         * readline.scm: New module.
3523         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
3524         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
3525         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
3526         anything.
3527         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
3528         repl-reader to use them.
3529         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
3530
3531         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
3532
3533 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3534
3535         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3536         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
3537
3538 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3539
3540         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
3541         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
3542         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
3543
3544 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3545
3546         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
3547         #f, abort terminates the process.
3548         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
3549         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
3550
3551 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3552
3553         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
3554         print-state, throw it away.
3555
3556 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3557
3558         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
3559         `0'.
3560
3561 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3562
3563         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
3564         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
3565         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
3566         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
3567         user field).
3568         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
3569         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
3570
3571 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3572
3573         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
3574
3575 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3576
3577         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
3578         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
3579         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
3580         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3581         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
3582         boot-9.scm.
3583         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
3584         distribution and installation.
3585         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3586
3587 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3588
3589         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
3590
3591 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3592
3593         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
3594         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
3595         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
3596
3597         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
3598         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
3599         symbol.
3600
3601 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3602
3603         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
3604
3605         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
3606
3607 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3608
3609         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
3610         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
3611         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
3612         field a separate argument.
3613
3614         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
3615
3616 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3617
3618         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
3619
3620         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
3621         vicinity;
3622         Provide defmacro.
3623
3624 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3625
3626         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
3627
3628 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3629
3630         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
3631         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
3632         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
3633         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
3634         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
3635         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
3636         registered.
3637         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
3638         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
3639         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
3640         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
3641         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
3642         link a .so-file.
3643
3644 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3645
3646         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
3647
3648 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3649
3650         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
3651         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
3652
3653 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3654
3655         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
3656
3657         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
3658         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
3659         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
3660         expansion inside the slib module.
3661
3662         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
3663         constructors.
3664         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
3665         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
3666         (let): New core form.
3667         (if): Removed from core language.
3668         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
3669         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
3670         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
3671
3672         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
3673         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
3674         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
3675         source.
3676         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
3677         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
3678         been loaded.
3679
3680 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
3681
3682         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
3683         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
3684         `use-syntax'.
3685         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
3686
3687         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
3688         (make-module): Modified initialization.
3689         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
3690         mutator for module-associated transformer.
3691         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
3692         `scm:eval-transformer'.
3693         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
3694         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
3695         module.
3696         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
3697
3698 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3699
3700         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
3701
3702         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
3703         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
3704         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
3705         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
3706         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
3707

3709         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as

3712         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
3713         the syncase interface.
3714
3715 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3716
3717         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
3718         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
3719         workings of the current module system).
3720
3721 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3722
3723         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
3724         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
3725         off!
3726
3727 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3729         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
3730         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.

3732
3733 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3734
3735         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
3736         according to the following priorities:
3737         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
3738         2. bindings from the-scm-module
3739         3. tcl bindings
3740         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
3741         disabling the scheme interpreter.
3742         (new-interpreter): New function.
3743
3744         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
3745         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
3746         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
3747
3748 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3749

3753
3754         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
3755
3756 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3757
3758         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
3759         procedures.
3760         (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
3761
3762 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3763
3764         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
3765         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
3766         source!
3767
3768 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3769
3770         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
3771         (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

3773         symbols matching regexp.
3774
3775         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
3776         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
3777         in stack-ref).
3778
3779         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
3780         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
3781         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
3782         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
3783         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
3784         result protocol;
3785         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
3786         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
3787
3788 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3794         procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
3795
3796         * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
3797
3798 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3799
3800         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
3801         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
3802         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
3803
3804         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
3805
3806         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
3807         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
3808         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
3809
3810 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3811
3812         * session.scm: New file: Session support.
3813         (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.
3814
3815 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3816
3817         * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
3818         cstime.
3819
3820 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3821
3822         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
3823         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
3824         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
3825
3826         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
3827         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
3828         the top.
3829
3830         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
3831         order to narrow it correctly.
3832         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
3833
3834 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3835
3836         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
3837         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
3838
3839 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3840
3841         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
3842
3843 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3844
3845         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
3846         builtin `with-fluids*'.
3847
3848 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3849
3850         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3851         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
3852         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
3853
3854 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3855
3856         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
3857         automatically.
3858
3859 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3860
3861         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
3862         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
3863         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
3864         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
3865         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
3866
3867 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3868
3869         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
3870         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
3871         a default of /.
3872
3873         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
3874
3875 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3876
3877         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
3878         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
3879         notation, instead of #/ notation.
3880
3881         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
3882         make-regexp.
3883
3884 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3885
3886         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3887         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3888         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
3889         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3890         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3891         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3892
3893         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3894         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3895         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3896         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3897
3898 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3899
3900         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3901         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
3902         sending in bug reports.
3903         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3904         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3905         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3906         display a warning if the two are different.
3907         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3908         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3909         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3910
3911 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3912
3913         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
3914
3915 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3916
3917         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3918         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3919
3920         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3921         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3922         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3923         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3924         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3925         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3926         that's okay.
3927
3928         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
3929         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3930         regexp interface.
3931
3932         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3933         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
3934
3935         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3936         function names.
3937
3938         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3939         fixes.
3940
3941 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3942
3943         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3944         ../configure.in.
3945
3946 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3947
3948         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3949         vtable and not the one of the struct.
3950
3951 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3952
3953         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3954         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3955         to support printing of structures.
3956         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3957         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
3958         commented out printing code.
3959         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3960         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
3961
3962 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3963
3964         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3965
3966 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3967
3968         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3969         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3970         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3971         during call to scm-style-repl.
3972
3973 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3974
3975         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3976         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3977         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3978         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3979         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3980
3981 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3982
3983         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3984         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3985         (ice-9 regex).
3986
3987 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3988
3989         * regex.scm: New file.
3990         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3991         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3992
3993 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3994
3995         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
3996         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
3997         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
3998         threads.scm: New address for FSF.

4000 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4001
4002         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
4003         in 1997.
4004
4005 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4006
4007         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
4008         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
4009         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
4010
4011 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4012
4013         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
4014         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy

4018
4019         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
4020
4021 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4022
4023         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
4024
4025 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4026
4027         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
4028         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
4029         fixes this too.
4030
4031 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4032
4033         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
4034         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
4035         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
4036
4037 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4038
4039         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
4040         the Scheme code like code yet.
4041         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
4042
4043 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4044
4045         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
4046         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
4047         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
4048
4049 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4050
4051         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
4052         use-modules macro
4053         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
4054         can't be found.
4055
4056 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

4061
4062         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
4063
4064         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
4065         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
4066         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
4067

4071         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
4072         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
4073
4074         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
4075         no plugins.
4076         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
4077         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
4078

4080
4081         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
4082         functions.

4085
4086         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
4087
4088 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4089
4090         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
4091         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
4092
4093 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4094
4095         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
4096         instead of in libguile.
4097         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
4098         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
4099
4100 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4101
4102         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
4103         procedures.
4104         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
4105         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
4106
4107 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4108
4109         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
4110         sockaddr:port): new functions.
4111
4112 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4113
4114         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
4115         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
4116         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
4117         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
4118
4119 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4120
4121         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
4122         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
4123
4124 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4125
4126         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
4127
4128 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4129
4130         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
4131         keywords and symbols.
4132
4133 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4134
4135         * slib.scm: update read usage.
4136
4137         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
4138         Don't define read-sharp.
4139
4140         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
4141         (read-sharp): removed.
4142         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
4143         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
4144
4145 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4146
4147         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
4148
4149         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by

4153         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.

4156
4157         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
4158

4163 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4164
4165         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
4166         read gets EOF.
4167         * (exit): alias for quit.
4168
4169 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4170
4171         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
4172         return the quit args.
4173         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
4174         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
4175         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
4176
4177         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
4178
4179 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4180
4181         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
4182
4183         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
4184         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
4185
4186         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
4187         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
4188
4189         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
4190         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
4191         of handlers.
4192
4193 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4194
4195         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
4196
4197         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
4198         (add-hooks!): New macro.
4199         Change hooks to use these functions.
4200
4201         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
4202         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
4203         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
4204         the source! :-)
4205         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
4206         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
4207         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
4208         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
4209         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
4210         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
4211         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
4212         traced.
4213
4214         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
4215         and exit-frame exceptions.
4216
4217         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
4218         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
4219         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
4220         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
4221         result; otherwise display "> ".
4222         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
4223
4224         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
4225         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
4226         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
4227         repository version runnable.
4228
4229 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4230
4231         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
4232         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
4233         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
4234         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
4235         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
4236         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
4237
4238 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4239
4240         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
4241         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
4242         and eval.
4243         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
4244         "defined?".
4245         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
4246         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
4247
4248 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4249
4250         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
4251
4252 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4253
4254         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
4255         %read-sharp layer.
4256
4257 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4258
4259         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
4260         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
4261
4262 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4263
4264         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
4265         backtrace.c.)
4266
4267 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4268
4269         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
4270         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
4271
4272 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4273
4274         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
4275
4276         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
4277         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
4278         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
4279         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
4280         dynamic linking of modules.
4281         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
4282         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
4283
4284 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4285
4286         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
4287
4288 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4289
4290         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
4291         that's what it is.
4292
4293         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
4294         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
4295         was false.
4296
4297 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4298
4299         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
4300         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
4301         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
4302
4303 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4304
4305         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
4306         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
4307         yet.
4308
4309 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4310
4311         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
4312         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
4313         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
4314
4315 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4316
4317         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
4318         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
4319         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
4320         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
4321
4322         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
4323         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
4324         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
4325         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
4326         (such as the-scm-module).
4327
4328 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4329
4330         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
4331         %search-load-path.
4332
4333 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
4334
4335         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
4336         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
4337         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
4338
4339 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4340
4341         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
4342         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
4343         function, use it accordingly.
4344
4345 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4346
4347         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
4348         function of no arguments.
4349         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
4350         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
4351         set-current-module): Uses changed.
4352         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
4353         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
4354         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
4355         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
4356         *top-level-eval-closure*.
4357

4359
4360         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.

4364
4365         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4366         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
4367         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
4368         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
4369         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
4370
4371         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
4372         `*features*'.
4373
4374         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
4375         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
4376         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
4377         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
4378
4379         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
4380
4381         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
4382
4383         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
4384         If the user wants to see this, he can do
4385         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
4386
4387         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
4388         error.
4389
4390         Added `before-read-hook'.
4391
4392         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
4393
4394         (provide): New function.
4395
4396         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
4397         in backtraces.
4398
4399         (backtrace): New function.
4400
4401         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
4402         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
4403         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
4404         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
4405         is found in operator position in a frame.
4406
4407         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4408         by default.
4409
4410         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
4411         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
4412         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
4413
4414         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
4415
4416         (library-vicinity): Updated.
4417
4418         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
4419
4420         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
4421
4422 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4423
4424         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
4425
4426         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
4427         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
4428
4429         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
4430         so they'll get distributed.
4431
4432         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
4433         should see as little clutter as possible.
4434         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
4435         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
4436         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
4437
4438         * r4rs.scm: New file.
4439         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
4440         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
4441         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
4442         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
4443         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
4444         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
4445         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
4446         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
4447         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
4448         that are not.
4449         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
4450         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
4451
4452         * test.scm: New file.
4453
4454         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
4455         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
4456         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
4457
4458         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
4459         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
4460
4461         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
4462         work now.
4463         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
4464         call %load-announce.
4465
4466 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4467
4468         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
4469         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
4470         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
4471         components.
4472         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
4473
4474 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4475
4476         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
4477         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
4478         SCSH (which this isn't).
4479
4480 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4481
4482         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4483
4484 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4485
4486         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
4487         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
4488         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
4489         these.
4490         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
4491         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
4492         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
4493         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
4494         save-stack.
4495
4496 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4497
4498         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
4499
4500         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
4501
4502         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
4503         error-catching-loop.
4504         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
4505         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
4506         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
4507
4508         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
4509         error-catching-loop.
4510
4511 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4512
4513         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
4514         (make-module): Rework for readability.
4515         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
4516         should be '(), not #f.
4517
4518         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
4519         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
4520
4521 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4522
4523         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
4524         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
4525         error-signal.
4526
4527 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4528
4529         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
4530         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
4531         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
4532         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
4533
4534 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4535
4536         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
4537
4538 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4539
4540         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
4541
4542         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
4543         throw-handler-default.
4544         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
4545         reported.
4546         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
4547         acro.
4548         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
4549         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
4550
4551 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4552
4553         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
4554         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
4555         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
4556         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
4557
4558 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4559
4560         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
4561         Append "." to the default %load-path.
4562         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
4563         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
4564         ...))
4565         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
4566         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
4567         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
4568         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
4569         file-is-directory?
4570
4571 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4572
4573         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
4574
4575         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
4576         distribution.
4577
4578         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
4579         `switch-repl'.
4580
4581         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
4582
4583 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4584
4585         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
4586         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
4587
4588 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4589
4590         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
4591
4592         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
4593
4594 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4595
4596         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
4597         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
4598         Don't set up 'error as a key.
4599         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
4600         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
4601
4602         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
4603         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
4604         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
4605         they seem redundant.
4606         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
4607         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
4608         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
4609         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
4610         directly files starting with "/").
4611         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
4612         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
4613
4614         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
4615
4616 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4617
4618         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
4619         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
4620         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
4621         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
4622         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
4623         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
4624         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
4625         robust to just do it in the C code.
4626
4627 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4628
4629         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
4630         %try-load itself was the primitive.
4631         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
4632         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
4633         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
4634
4635 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4636
4637         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
4638         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
4639         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
4640
4641 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4642
4643         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
4644         system-error, not every kind of error.
4645         (scm-error): new procedure.
4646
4647 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4648
4649         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4650
4651 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4652
4653         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
4654         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
4655         of args are supplied.
4656         (%%system-errors): removed.
4657         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
4658         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
4659         %%handle-system-error.
4660         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
4661         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
4662         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
4663         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
4664
4665 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4666
4667         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
4668         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
4669         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
4670         %S (embed an argument using "write").
4671
4672 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4673
4674         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
4675         the empty list if they are #f.
4676         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
4677
4678 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4679
4680         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
4681
4682         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
4683         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
4684         aborting, just the key and subr.
4685         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
4686         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
4687         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
4688
4689 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4690
4691         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
4692         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
4693         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
4694         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
4695         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
4696
4697 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4698
4699         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
4700         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
4701         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.

4728         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the

4732         for these.
