1 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
3 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
6 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
8 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
9 source of the numerous very short changes.
11 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
13 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
16 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
19 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
21 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
24 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
26 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
27 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
29 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
31 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
34 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
36 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
37 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
38 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
40 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
42 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
43 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
44 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
45 Narazaki for this change.
47 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
49 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
50 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
53 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
54 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
56 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
58 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
59 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
61 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
63 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
64 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
65 use define-public to export from the module.
67 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
69 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
70 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
71 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
73 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
75 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
77 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
79 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
80 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
82 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
84 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
86 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
88 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
90 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
92 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
93 long_long uniform vectors.
95 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
97 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
98 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
100 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
102 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
103 script to create generated files like this one.
105 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
107 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
108 available before using getpw and getuid.
109 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
110 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
112 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
113 check for .guile, instead of stat.
114 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
116 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
117 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
118 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
120 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
121 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
123 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
125 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
127 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
130 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
131 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
133 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
135 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
137 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
138 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
139 ("position"): New command.
140 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
141 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
142 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
143 to return a valid state.)
144 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
146 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
148 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
149 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
152 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
154 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
155 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
157 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
159 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
161 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
163 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
164 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
166 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
167 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
168 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
170 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
173 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
175 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
176 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
178 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
180 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
182 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
183 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
184 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
185 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
187 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
190 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
191 both forward and backward views of the stack
192 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
193 Use selector `frame-number';
194 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
195 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
197 Use readline conditionally.
199 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
201 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
202 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
203 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
205 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
206 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
209 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
211 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
213 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
215 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
217 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
219 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
221 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
222 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
223 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
224 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
225 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
226 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
227 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
228 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
229 libguile-config-stamp.
230 * version.scm.in: Delete.
231 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
232 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
233 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
234 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
236 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
238 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
239 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
240 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
242 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
243 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
244 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
245 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
248 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
250 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
252 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
254 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
256 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
257 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
259 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
261 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
262 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
263 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
264 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
265 objects starting with '#/'.
267 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
269 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
270 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
271 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
272 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
273 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
274 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
276 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
277 module-modified): New procedures.
278 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
279 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
281 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
283 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
286 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
288 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
289 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
290 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
292 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
295 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
297 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
298 at multiple calls to read.
299 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
300 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
301 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
302 continued-lines prompt.
304 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
307 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
309 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
310 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
312 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
314 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
315 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
318 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
320 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
321 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
323 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
324 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
325 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
326 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
327 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
330 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
332 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
333 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
335 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
337 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
338 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
339 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
340 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
342 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
344 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
346 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
347 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
348 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
351 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
353 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
354 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
355 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
356 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
357 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
358 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
359 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
360 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
361 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
362 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
363 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
365 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
367 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
368 peeked from the stream.
369 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
370 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
371 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
373 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
375 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
376 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
378 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
380 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
381 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
382 exiting repl with single control-D.
384 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
386 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
387 error catching loop after quit received.
388 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
390 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
391 primitive exit if non-interactive.
392 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
394 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
395 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
397 * popen.scm: new file.
399 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
401 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
402 (reverse-iota): removed.
404 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
406 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
407 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
409 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
411 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
412 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
413 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
414 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
415 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
417 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
419 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
421 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
422 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
424 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
425 Guile's module system.
427 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
429 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
430 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
431 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
432 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
433 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
434 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
436 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
437 '() when the condition is false.
439 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
441 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
443 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
445 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
447 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
449 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
450 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
451 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
453 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
455 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
456 argument order for hash-fold.
458 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
460 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
462 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
463 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
465 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
466 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
467 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
468 has been added to the load path).
472 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
474 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
475 module between system and user state.
477 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
479 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
481 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
484 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
486 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
487 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
488 system can create a wrapper class for it.
490 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
492 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
493 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
494 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
495 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
496 stack frame encountered.
498 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
499 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
500 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
501 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
504 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
505 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
506 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
507 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
510 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
511 define-module switches:
516 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
519 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
520 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
521 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
522 module it is a system frame.
524 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
525 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
526 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
527 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
528 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
530 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
531 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
532 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
533 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
534 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
535 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
537 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
539 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
540 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
542 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
543 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
544 closure to the module.
546 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
548 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
550 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
552 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
554 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
556 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
558 Fix from Russ McManus:
559 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
560 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
561 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
562 either an optional or required value.
564 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
566 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
568 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
569 of the '() key, not `rest'.
571 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
572 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
573 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
574 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
576 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
578 * optargs.scm: New file.
579 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
580 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
582 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
584 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
585 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
586 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
588 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
590 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
591 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
594 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
596 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
598 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
600 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
601 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
602 applied to the module itself.
604 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
606 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
608 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
609 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
611 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
613 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
615 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
617 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
619 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
621 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
622 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
624 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
626 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
627 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
628 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
629 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
630 among BINDINGS is referenced.
631 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
632 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
634 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
636 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
637 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
639 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
641 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
642 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
645 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
647 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
649 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
651 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
653 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
655 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
656 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
657 adapt to the new hooks.
659 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
661 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
662 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
663 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
665 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
666 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
668 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
669 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
670 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
671 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
672 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
673 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
674 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
675 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
676 first to register linked modules.
678 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
679 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
680 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
682 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
683 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
684 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
685 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
687 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
689 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
692 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
693 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
694 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
696 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
698 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
699 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
700 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
702 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
704 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
705 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
706 result of the last form.
708 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
710 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
713 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
715 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
716 readline-set!: New options interface.
718 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
720 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
722 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
723 at the end of boot-9.scm.
725 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
727 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
728 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
730 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
732 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
734 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
736 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
737 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
739 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
741 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
743 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
745 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
748 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
750 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
751 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
753 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
755 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
757 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
758 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
759 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
761 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
762 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
764 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
765 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
766 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
768 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
769 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
770 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
771 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
772 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
773 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
775 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
777 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
778 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
780 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
782 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
783 and short vectors #h(...).
785 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
787 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
788 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
789 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
791 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
793 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
794 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
795 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
797 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
799 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
800 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
802 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
803 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
804 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
805 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
807 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
809 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
812 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
813 order to allow the empty list as arg.
814 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
815 context with traps enabled.
817 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
819 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
821 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
823 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
825 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
826 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
827 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
828 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
829 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
831 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
833 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
834 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
836 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
838 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
840 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
842 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
844 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
846 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
848 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
850 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
851 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
853 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
855 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
856 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
857 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
858 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
861 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
862 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
863 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
865 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
867 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
868 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
869 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
870 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
871 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
872 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
873 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
875 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
877 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
879 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
881 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
882 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
883 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
884 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
885 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
886 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
888 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
890 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
891 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
892 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
895 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
897 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
899 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
901 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
903 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
905 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
908 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
910 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
912 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
914 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
915 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
917 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
919 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
920 similar in use to `use-modules'.
921 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
922 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
924 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
925 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
927 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
929 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
931 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
933 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
934 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
937 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
938 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
940 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
941 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
942 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
944 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
946 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
948 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
950 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
951 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
953 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
955 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
957 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
959 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
960 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
962 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
964 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
967 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
969 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
970 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
972 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
974 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
976 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
978 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
981 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
983 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
984 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
985 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
986 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
987 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
990 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
992 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
993 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
994 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
996 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
998 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1000 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1001 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1003 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1005 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1006 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1007 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1008 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1009 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1010 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1011 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1014 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1016 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1019 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1021 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1022 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1023 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1024 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1025 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1026 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1028 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1030 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1031 usefully so they will work from a script.
1033 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1035 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1036 neighborhood of the record code.
1038 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1040 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1041 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1042 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1043 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1045 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1047 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1048 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1049 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1051 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1053 Add support for readline function.
1054 * readline.scm: New module.
1055 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1056 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1057 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1059 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1060 repl-reader to use them.
1061 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1063 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1065 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1067 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1068 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1070 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1072 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1073 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1074 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1076 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1078 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
1079 #f, abort terminates the process.
1080 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1081 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1083 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1085 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1086 print-state, throw it away.
1088 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1090 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1093 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1095 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1096 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1097 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1098 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1100 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1101 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1103 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1105 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1107 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1109 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1110 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1111 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1112 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1113 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1115 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1116 distribution and installation.

1123 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1125 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1126 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1127 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1129 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1130 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1133 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1135 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1137 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1139 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1141 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1142 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1143 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1144 field a separate argument.
1146 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1148 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1150 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1152 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1156 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1158 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.

1163 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1164 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1165 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1166 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1167 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1169 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1170 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1171 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1172 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1173 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1176 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1178 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

1183 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1185 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1187 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1189 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1190 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1191 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1192 expansion inside the slib module.
1194 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1196 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1197 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

1202 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1204 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1205 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1206 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1208 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1209 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1212 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1214 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1215 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1217 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1219 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1220 (make-module): Modified initialization.

1224 `scm:eval-transformer'.
1225 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1226 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current

1232 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1234 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1235 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1236 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1237 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1238 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1240 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1241 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1242 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1244 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1245 the syncase interface.
1247 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1249 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1250 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1251 workings of the current module system).
1253 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1255 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1256 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1259 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1261 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).

1265 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1267 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1268 according to the following priorities:
1269 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1270 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1272 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1273 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1274 (new-interpreter): New function.
1276 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1277 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1278 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1280 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1282 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1284 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1286 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".

1296 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1297 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the

1302 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1303 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

1308 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1311 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1312 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1313 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1314 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1315 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1317 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1318 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1320 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1322 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1323 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1325 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1326 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1328 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1330 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1332 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1333 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1334 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.

1338 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

1352 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1354 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1355 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1356 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1358 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1359 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1362 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1363 order to narrow it correctly.
1364 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

1371 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1373 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1375 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1377 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1378 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1380 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1382 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1383 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1384 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1386 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1388 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1391 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1393 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1394 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1395 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1396 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1397 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1399 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1401 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1402 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1405 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.

1418 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1419 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1420 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1421 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1422 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1423 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1425 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1426 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1427 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1428 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1430 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1432 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1433 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1434 sending in bug reports.
1435 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1436 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1437 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1438 display a warning if the two are different.
1439 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1440 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1441 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1447 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1449 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1450 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1452 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1453 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1454 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1455 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1456 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1457 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1460 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1461 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1464 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1465 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1467 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1470 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1473 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1478 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1480 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1481 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1483 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1485 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1486 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1487 to support printing of structures.
1488 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1489 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1490 commented out printing code.
1491 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1492 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1494 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

1501 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1502 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1503 during call to scm-style-repl.
1505 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1507 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1508 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1509 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1510 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1511 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1513 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1515 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1516 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1519 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1521 * regex.scm: New file.
1522 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1523 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1527 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1528 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1529 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1530 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1532 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1534 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1537 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1539 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1540 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1541 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1543 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1545 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1546 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1549 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1551 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

1555 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1557 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1559 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1560 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1563 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1565 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1566 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1567 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1569 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1571 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1572 the Scheme code like code yet.
1573 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1575 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1577 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1578 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1579 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1581 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1583 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1585 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1588 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1590 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1592 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1594 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1596 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1597 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1598 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1600 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1602 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1603 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1604 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1606 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1608 * configure.in, configure: Removed.

1620 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1622 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1623 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1625 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1627 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1628 instead of in libguile.
1629 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1630 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1632 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1634 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1636 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1637 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1639 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1641 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1642 sockaddr:port): new functions.
1644 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1646 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1647 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1648 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1649 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1651 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1653 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1654 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1656 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1658 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1660 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1662 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1663 keywords and symbols.
1665 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1667 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1669 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1670 Don't define read-sharp.
1672 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1673 (read-sharp): removed.
1674 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1675 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1677 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1679 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1681 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
1682 primitive procedure.)
1684 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1685 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1687 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1689 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1691 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1693 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1695 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1697 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1699 * (exit): alias for quit.
1701 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1703 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1704 return the quit args.
1705 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1706 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1707 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1709 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1711 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1713 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1715 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1716 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1718 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1719 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1721 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1722 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1725 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1727 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1729 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1730 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1731 Change hooks to use these functions.
1733 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1734 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1735 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1737 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1738 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1739 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1740 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1741 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1742 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1743 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1746 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1747 and exit-frame exceptions.
1749 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1750 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1751 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1752 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1753 result; otherwise display "> ".
1754 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1756 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1757 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1758 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1759 repository version runnable.
1761 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1763 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1764 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1765 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1766 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1767 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1768 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1770 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1772 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1773 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1775 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1777 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1778 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1780 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1782 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1784 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1786 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1789 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1791 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1792 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1794 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1796 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1799 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1801 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1802 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1804 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1806 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1808 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1809 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1810 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1811 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1812 dynamic linking of modules.
1813 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1814 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1816 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1818 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1820 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1822 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1825 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1826 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1829 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1831 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1832 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1833 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1835 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1837 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1838 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1841 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1843 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1844 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1845 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1847 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1849 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1850 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1851 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1852 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1854 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1855 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1856 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1857 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1858 (such as the-scm-module).
1860 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1862 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1865 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1867 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1868 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1869 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1871 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1873 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1874 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1875 function, use it accordingly.
1877 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1879 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1880 function of no arguments.
1881 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1882 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1883 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1884 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1885 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1886 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1887 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1888 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1890 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1892 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1893 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1895 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1897 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1898 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1899 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1900 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1901 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1903 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1906 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1907 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1908 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1909 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1911 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1913 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1915 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1916 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1917 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1919 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1922 Added `before-read-hook'.
1924 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1926 (provide): New function.
1928 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1931 (backtrace): New function.
1933 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1934 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1935 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1936 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1937 is found in operator position in a frame.
1939 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1942 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1943 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1944 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1946 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1948 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1950 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1952 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1954 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1956 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1958 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1959 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
1961 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1962 so they'll get distributed.
1964 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
1965 should see as little clutter as possible.
1966 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1967 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1968 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1970 * r4rs.scm: New file.
1971 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1972 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1973 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1974 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1975 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1976 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1977 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1978 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1979 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1981 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1982 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1984 * test.scm: New file.
1986 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1987 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
1988 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1990 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1991 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1993 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1995 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
1996 call %load-announce.
1998 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2000 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2001 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2002 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2004 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2006 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2008 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2009 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2010 SCSH (which this isn't).
2012 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2014 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2016 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2018 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2019 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2020 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2022 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2023 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2024 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2025 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2028 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2030 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2032 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2034 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2035 error-catching-loop.
2036 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2037 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2038 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2040 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2041 error-catching-loop.
2043 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2045 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2046 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2047 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2048 should be '(), not #f.
2050 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2051 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2053 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2055 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2056 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2059 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2061 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2062 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2063 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2064 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2066 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2068 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2070 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2072 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2074 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2075 throw-handler-default.
2076 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2078 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2080 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2081 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2083 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2085 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2086 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2087 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2088 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2090 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2092 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2093 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2094 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2095 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2097 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2098 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2099 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2100 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2103 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2105 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2107 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2110 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2113 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2115 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2117 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2118 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2120 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2122 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2124 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2126 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2128 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2129 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2130 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2131 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2132 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2134 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2135 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2136 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2137 they seem redundant.
2138 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2139 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2140 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2141 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2142 directly files starting with "/").
2143 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2144 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2146 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2148 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2150 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2151 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2152 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2153 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2154 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2155 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2156 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2157 robust to just do it in the C code.
2159 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2161 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2162 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2163 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2164 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2165 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2167 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2169 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2170 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2171 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2173 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2175 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2176 system-error, not every kind of error.
2177 (scm-error): new procedure.
2179 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2181 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2183 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2185 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2186 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2187 of args are supplied.
2188 (%%system-errors): removed.
2189 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2190 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2191 %%handle-system-error.
2192 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2193 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2194 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2195 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.

2199 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2200 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2201 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2202 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2204 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2206 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2207 the empty list if they are #f.
2208 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2210 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2212 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2214 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2215 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2216 aborting, just the key and subr.
2217 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2218 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2219 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2221 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2223 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2224 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2225 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2226 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2227 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2229 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2231 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2232 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2233 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2234 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2236 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2238 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2239 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2240 initialize %load-path.
2242 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2243 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2245 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2247 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2248 Add the directory named after the version number.
2249 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2250 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2251 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2252 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2253 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2254 (install): Create the above directories.
2255 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2256 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2258 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2260 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2261 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2262 in the Makefile directly.
2263 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2265 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2267 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2268 here, where people expect to find them.
2270 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2272 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2273 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2275 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2277 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2279 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2280 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2282 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2284 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2285 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2287 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2288 weak-key-hash-table.

2293 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2294 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).

2296 (%open-file): removed.
2297 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2298 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2300 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2302 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2303 (manifest): Deleted.
2304 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2305 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2307 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2309 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2310 now that they throw errors directly.
2311 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2312 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2314 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2316 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
