ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 2004-09-26  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
   2
   3         * optargs.scm (let-optional-template, let-keywords-template): Change
   4         "(begin body)" to "(let () body)" for empty bindings, since the former
   5         allows "internal defines" in body leak out to the surrounding
   6         environment.
   7
   8 2004-09-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
   9
  10         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Pass rest argument to
  11         display-backtrace for wrong-type-arg and out-of-range errors so
  12         that the bad value gets highlighted.
  13
  14 2004-09-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  15
  16         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): Correction, should recurse into
  17         itself, not stream-for-each-one.
  18
  19         * time.scm (time-proc): Make result inexact, since format ~f doesn't
  20         support fractions currently.
  21
  22 2004-09-08  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  23
  24         * boot-9.scm (expt): Only call integer-expt for an exact integer
  25         exponent, not for an inexact integer one.  Also, let integer-expt
  26         handle negative exponents instead of doing it here.
  27
  28 2004-09-02  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  29
  30         * format.scm (format:out): Ignore excess arguments, per common lisp.
  31
  32         * format.scm (format:out-num-padded): Print "+" on 0 under @ modifier.
  33
  34 2004-08-27  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  35
  36         * regex.scm (regexp-quote): [ and | must be quoted.  Quote ( ) { + ?
  37         using char class [(] etc since \( in fact makes them become special in
  38         regexp/basic.
  39
  40 2004-08-25  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  41
  42         * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Give #t for an empty body, per srfi-2
  43         spec, previously came out as an empty (begin).
  44
  45 2004-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  46
  47         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Added srfi-13 and srfi-14.
  48
  49 2004-08-20  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  50
  51         * debugger/utils.scm (display-source): Use unmemoize-expr instead
  52         of unmemoize.
  53         (write-frame-short/expression): Likewise.
  54
  55 2004-08-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  56
  57         * and-let-star.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-2, since this module
  58         provides that feature.
  59         * receive.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-8, since this module
  60         provides that feature.
  61
  62 2004-08-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  63
  64         From Matthias Koeppe.  Thanks!
  65
  66         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): In the local procedure `wr', use
  67         object->string to print all data (except for the reader macros),
  68         rather than implementing an own printer.  The user-visible
  69         difference is that procedures and control characters like #\tab
  70         are now printed in the same way as by `write'.
  71
  72 2004-08-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  73
  74         * slib.scm (*features*): Remove array and array-for-each, core
  75         definitions are insufficient for latest slib.
  76         (t, nil): New constants slib says are supposed to exist.
  77         (call-with-open-ports, browse-url): New functions for latest slib.
  78         Implementations taken from Template.scm (public domain).
  79         (open-file): Extend core definition to accept symbols for the mode,
  80         required by latest slib.
  81         (delete-file): Replace core definition with version returning #t/#f as
  82         per slib spec.
  83         (system): Mark as #:replace to suppress override warning, use new
  84         style "(@ (guile) system)" to call core function.
  85
  86 2004-05-25  Matthias Koeppe  <mkoeppe@mail.math.uni-magdeburg.de>
  87
  88         * format.scm: Remove the arbitrary limit of 100 iterations for the
  89         ~{...~} control structure.
  90
  91 2004-07-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  92
  93         * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Remove unused variable "val".
  94         * pretty-print.scm (read-macro-prefix): Remove unused variable "tail".
  95
  96         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Add srfi-6 which is in the core.
  97
  98         * safe-r5rs.scm (re-export): Uncomment numerator, denominator,
  99         rationalize, since they now exist.
 100
 101 2004-07-05  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 102
 103         * slib.scm (system): Correction to redefinition, now guile is stricter
 104         about when a define binding comes into existance.
 105
 106 2004-05-29  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
 107
 108         * boot-9.scm: Reordered definitions such that macro definitions
 109         preceed their first usage.  Include and define deprecated stuff
 110         late in the file to have a better change of detecting accidental
 111         uses of deprecated definitions. Further, unified the layout a
 112         little and grouped definitions more cleanly into topics.
 113
 114 2004-05-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 115
 116         * history.scm (use-value-history): Use resolve-interface instead
 117         of resolve-module so that only the exported bindings are searched.
 118         (save-value-history): Export the newly defined variable.  Reported
 119         by Wolfgang Jaehrling.
 120
 121 2004-05-04  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
 122
 123         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): Always start searching from the
 124         root module.  This will allow the C equivalent scm_resolve_module
 125         to work, independent of what the current module is.
 126
 127 2004-02-18  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 128
 129         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Make the (guile-user) module use the
 130         (ice-9 r5rs) module.
 131
 132 2004-02-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 133
 134         * boot-9.scm (module-map): Renamed hash-map -> hash-map->list.
 135
 136 2004-02-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 137
 138         * debugger/trap-hooks.scm (debug-hook-membership): New, exported.
 139
 140         * debugger/commands.scm (debug-trap-hooks): New, exported.
 141
 142 2004-02-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 143
 144         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES),
 145         debugger/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES), Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES): Use
 146         this variable instead of ETAGS_ARGS so that TAGS can be built
 147         using separate build directory.
 148
 149 2004-01-20  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 150
 151         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Back out 2003-11-19 change to
 152         lazy-handler-dispatch lookup.
 153
 154 2004-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 155
 156         * mapping.scm: Use '#:' prefix for keywords instead of ':'.
 157         Thanks to Richard Todd!
 158
 159 2004-01-11  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 160
 161         * slib.scm (system): New function, giving an exit code return in
 162         accordance with slib spec.
 163
 164         Revert this, it breaks test-suite/tests/r5rs_pitfalls.test where
 165         false-if-exception is used within syntax-rules.  (Suspect syntax-rules
 166         ought to support this sort of thing, but it doesn't right now.)
 167         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
 168         to depend on expansion environment.
 169
 170 2004-01-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 171
 172         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): Use with-fluid* when only one fluid is
 173         being set.
 174
 175 2004-01-07  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 176
 177         * q.scm (q-pop!): Should be "null?" not "not" for end-of-list.
 178         Reported by Richard Todd.
 179
 180 2004-01-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 181
 182         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
 183         to depend on expansion environment.
 184
 185         * slib.scm (-1+, <?, <=?, =?, >?, >=?): Define as aliases for 1-, <,
 186         <=, =, >, >= respectively, required by slib 'rev2-procedures but no
 187         longer in the guile core.
 188
 189 2003-11-19  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 190
 191         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Defer lookup of
 192         lazy-handler-dispatch.
 193
 194 2003-11-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 195
 196         * boot-9.scm (@, @@): New macros.
 197
 198 2003-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 199
 200         * boot-9.scm: Started comment about module system workings.
 201
 202 2003-11-11  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 203
 204         * debugger.scm: Change ui-* calls to gds-*.
 205         (debug-on-error): Debug if throw key is in specified syms, not if
 206         it isn't!  Also throw 'abort after debugging, so as to skip the
 207         REPL's backtrace.
 208
 209         * debugger/behaviour.scm (*trap*): New variable, stores trap type.
 210         (before-enter-frame-hook, before-apply-frame-hook,
 211         before-exit-frame-hook): Set here.
 212         (debug-if-flag-set): Passed into flags on debug-stack call.
 213         (at-step, at-next): Changed to debug at frame exit points as well.
 214
 215         * debugger/utils.scm: Big comment added.
 216
 217 2003-10-30  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 218
 219         * debugger/ui-client.scm: Moved to ../emacs/gds-client.scm.
 220
 221 2003-10-16  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 222
 223         * debugger/ui-client.scm (ui-connect): Add arg to say whether to
 224         debug immediately on connection.
 225         (ui-eval): Handle exceptions during read and evaluation.

 227         * debugger.scm (debug-on-error, default-default-lazy-handler):
 228         Remove an unnecessary level of indirection in calling lazy
 229         handler.
 230
 231 2003-10-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 232
 233         * ftw.scm (directory-files): Close dir-stream when done.  Thanks
 234         to Paul Jarc!
 235
 236 2003-10-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 237
 238         * poe.scm (funcq-assoc): Rewrite, don't assume '() is false, and
 239         actually traverse the given alist.
 240
 241 2003-10-06  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 242
 243         * debugger/ui-client.scm (handle-instruction): Add evaluation
 244         support.
 245         (ui-eval): New.
 246

 248
 249         * debugger/ui-client.scm (ui-disable-async-thread,
 250         ui-continue-async-thread, start-async-ui-thread): New.
 251         (ui-command-loop): Call ui-disable-async-thread and
 252         ui-continue-async-thread.
 253         (handle-instruction): Read terminating newline char so it doesn't
 254         cause following select to pop immediately.
 255
 256 2003-09-25  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 257
 258         * debugger/ui-client.scm, debugger/ui-server.scm: New (work in
 259         progress on new debugging front end).
 260
 261 2003-09-24  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 262
 263         * debugger.scm (default-default-lazy-handler, debug-on-error):
 264         New.
 265
 266         * debugger/behaviour.scm (debug-if-flag-set): Display debug entry
 267         messages through (debugger-output-port).
 268         (after-exit-frame-hook): Trace through (debugger-output-port).
 269         (trace-here): Trace through (debugger-output-port).
 270
 271         * debugger/commands.scm (evaluate): If supplied expression is a
 272         string, read from it before evaluating.
 273         (evaluate): Change output format to "EXPR => VALUE".
 274
 275 2003-09-19  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 276
 277         * popen.scm (open-process): Correction to previous fdes closing
 278         change, need to watch out for stdin==stderr or stdout==stderr.
 279
 280 2003-09-15  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 281
 282         * format.scm (format): Rewritten as a big letrec to make it
 283         reentrant.  No mutex is necessary.  Thanks to Clinton Ebadi!
 284
 285 2003-09-13  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 286
 287         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?): Use stat rather than access?, so as to
 288         follow the effective UID/GID not the real ID.  file-exists? is
 289         normally used as a prelude to opening or some other operation, and
 290         it's the effective ID which will apply there.  Emacs file-exists-p
 291         uses stat, presumably for the the same reason.
 292
 293 2003-09-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 294
 295         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Use a proper hashtable as
 296         the obarray, not an empty vector.
 297         (make-module): Always construct a hashtable for the obarray, even
 298         for empty ones.
 299
 300         * format.scm (format:error): Use 'format:format' instead of
 301         'format' since the latter will lock the mutex again that we have
 302         already locked.
 303         (format:format-work): Flag multiple '#' as an error.
 304
 305 2003-08-17  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 306
 307         * boot-9.scm (while): Use a new key dynamically for each loop, so
 308         break and continue associate to their loop even when recursing.
 309
 310 2003-08-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 311
 312         * boot-9.scm (while): Rewrite, continue as proper escape, break
 313         without return value, break and continue new for each while form,
 314         don't depend on bindings in expansion environment.
 315
 316         * popen.scm (open-process): Close input-fdes, output-fdes and
 317         error-fdes after duping them to 0, 1 and 2.
 318
 319 2003-06-19  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 320
 321         * threads.scm (parallel): For no forms, use `(values)' not `(begin)'.
 322
 323 2003-05-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 324
 325         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Added missing quote around
 326         vector constant.
 327
 328 2003-05-20  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 329
 330         * deprecated.scm (list*): Added.
 331
 332 2003-05-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 333
 334         * documentation.scm (file-commentary, find-documentation-in-file): Use
 335         call-with-input-file, to close ports when done.
 336
 337 2003-05-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 338
 339         * gap-buffer.scm (point++n!, point+-n!): Use substring-move!
 340         instead of substring-move-left! or substring-move-right!.  Thanks
 341         to Kevin Ryde.
 342
 343         * deprecated.scm (substring-move-left!, substring-move-right!):
 344         New.
 345
 346         * boot-9.scm (display-usage-report): Use keyword->symbol instead
 347         of keyword-symbol, which doesn't exist.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde.
 348
 349         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-get-handle): Pass only the expected four
 350         arguments to hashx-get-handle.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde!
 351
 352         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port) Pass 0 as second
 353         argument to string-ref.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde!
 354
 355 2003-04-25  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
 356
 357         * serialize.scm: New file.

 362
 363 2003-04-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

 365         * Changed license terms to the plain LGPL thru-out.
 366
 367 2003-03-26  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 368
 369         * deprecated.scm: New file, to collect deprecated things.
 370         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added.
 371
 372         * boot-9.scm: Load "ice-9/deprecated.scm" when appropriate.
 373         (try-load-module): Also try the old deprecated method, maybe.
 374
 375 2003-03-22  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

 382
 383 2003-03-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 384
 385         * format.scm (format:out-substr): Update the column counter
 386         correctly. This fixes the behavior of ~T (tabbing) after ~F, for
 387         instance.  Thanks to Matthias Koeppe!
 388
 389 2003-03-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

 396         and merge-accessors handlers are available also before (oop goops)
 397         has been loaded.  This is so that people can put them as default
 398         handlers without worrying about availability.
 399
 400         * slib.scm (logical:ipow-by-squaring): Removed.

 421
 422         * boot-9.scm (defmacro-public): Use export-syntax instead of export.
 423
 424         * slib.scm (*features*): Set the core variable instead of defining
 425         a local version.
 426         (provide, provided?): Mark as replacements.
 427
 428         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't install the duplicates
 429         handler here.
 430         (default-duplicate-binding-handler): Renamed from
 431         default-module-duplicates-handler; Removed converter.

 433         (default-duplicate-binding-procedures): New parameter.
 434
 435 2003-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
 436
 437         * slib.scm (identity): Removed.  (Provided by core.)
 438
 439 2003-03-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 440
 441         * debugger/command-loop.scm: Prefix all commands imported from

 447         appropriately.
 448         (module-use!, module-use-interfaces!): Remove existing interfaces
 449         on the use-list based on module name rather than interface
 450         identity so that custom interfaces truly replaces their previous
 451         version.

 480
 481         * boot-9.scm (make-module): Changed default size from 1021 to 31
 482         (since the size now adapts).
 483         (macro-table, xformer-table): Changed default size from 523 to 61.

 487
 488         * weak-vector.scm: New file.

 492         (module-map): Use hash-map.
 493
 494 2003-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 495
 496         * boot-9.scm (make-hash-table): Turned primitive.
 497
 498 2003-01-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 499
 500         * syncase.scm (guile-macro): Strip syntactic information from
 501         expression before trying to treat it as a Guile macro call.
 502         (Thanks to Kevin Ryde.)
 503
 504 2003-01-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 505

 511         futures.
 512
 513 2003-01-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 514
 515         * occam-channel.scm (alt): New syntax.
 516
 517         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Removed.  Guile now provides this
 518         operator as a primitive procedure.
 519         (build-data): Quote vectors (psyntax.ss requires this).
 520
 521 2003-01-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 522
 523         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Allow procedures implanted in
 524         source.  (Guile uses this internally.)
 525
 526 2003-01-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 527
 528         * psyntax.ss (build-data): Don't quote self-evaluating expressions
 529         in output.  (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be
 530         quoted, but until Guile's native macros and syncase cooperates
 531         better, it is less destructive not to quote.)
 532         (self-evaluating?): Removed null? (In Guile, the empty list is not
 533         self-evaluating).
 534         (sc-chi): Export chi as sc-chi.
 535         (external-macro): New syntax type.
 536
 537         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 538
 539         * compile-psyntax.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure.
 540
 541         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Return *unspecified*.
 542
 543         * syncase.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure to
 544         the-syncase-eval-closure during booting so that variables are
 545         created in the correct module.
 546         (syncase): Set expansion-eval-closure.
 547         (define-syntax define-syntax-public eval-when fluid-let-syntax
 548         identifier-syntax let-syntax letrec-syntax syntax syntax-case
 549         syntax-rules with-syntax include): Removed definitions (these are
 550         created from within psyntax.pp).
 551         Enable expansion of Guile macros during a syntax-case
 552         transformation.
 553
 554 2003-01-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 555

 557         (make-timer): New function.
 558
 559         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added occam-channel.scm.
 560
 561         * occam-channel.scm: New file.  Implements occam-like channels.
 562
 563 2002-12-28  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 564
 565         * boot-9.scm (module-defined-hook): New hook, run whenever a new
 566         module is defined.
 567         (process-define-module): Run this hook.
 568
 569 2002-12-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
 570
 571         * threads.scm: Removed bogus definition of future-ref.
 572
 573 2002-12-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 574
 575         * threads.scm (par-map, par-for-each): Reimplemented using
 576         joing-thread.
 577         (parallel): Reimplemented using futures.
 578         (n-par-map, n-for-each): New procedures.
 579
 580 2002-12-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 581
 582         * optargs.scm (improper-list-copy): New.
 583         (parse-arglist): Use it instead of list-copy.
 584
 585 2002-12-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 586
 587         * threads.scm (letpar): New macro.
 588
 589 2002-12-08  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 590
 591         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION ->
 592         GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
 593
 594         * debugger/Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION ->
 595         GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.

 601         * threads.scm (parallel): New macro.
 602          (par-map, par-for-each): New procedures.
 603
 604         * documentation.scm (object-documentation): Added support for
 605         defmacros.

 608
 609         * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax):  Re-introduced after accidentally
 610         removing it in my patch from 2002-11-16.
 611
 612 2002-11-24  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 613
 614         Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
 615         following changes:
 616
 617         * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
 618
 619         (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
 620         %system-define.
 621
 622         * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
 623         until Guile supports hygienic macros.
 624
 625 2002-11-17  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 626
 627         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
 628         has been removed from the core.
 629
 630 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 631
 632         * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
 633         identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
 634         syntax-rules, with-syntax, include):  Changed definitions to form
 635         'real' macro definitions.
 636
 637 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 638
 639         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 640         Fixed my previous fix (blush).
 641
 642 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 643
 644         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 645         Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
 646
 647 2002-11-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 648
 649         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition
 650         needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.
 651
 652 2002-11-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 653
 654         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"
 655         change below.

 658         recording when module is loaded.
 659         (##): Cope with ports whose `filename' is not a string.
 660

 664         code.
 665
 666         * debugger/command-loop.scm (read-and-dispatch-command): Import
 667         set-readline-prompt dynamically if we need to.  (Previous
 668         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
 669         readline).)
 670
 671 2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 672
 673         * format.scm (format): Wrap a monitor around format:format since
 674         it is not thread-safe.
 675
 676 2002-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 677
 678         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'.  This

 687         - see comment in file for more details.

 694         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits
 695         of old (ice-9 debugger), plus some rewriting and enhancements for

 706         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
 707         execution from a breakpoint.
 708
 709         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,
 710         debugger/breakpoints/procedural.scm,
 711         debugger/breakpoints/range.scm, debugger/breakpoints/source.scm,
 712         debugger/trap-hooks.scm, debugger/trc.scm: New files - breakpoint

 720
 721         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Do not call unmask-signals, that
 722         should be unnecessary now.
 723
 724 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 725
 726         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
 727         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
 728         the-root-module.
 729
 730 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 731
 732         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
 733         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and
 734         call-with-unblocked-asyncs instead of mask-signals and
 735         unmask-signals.
 736
 737 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 738
 739         * buffered-input.scm (make-buffered-input-port): Build an
 740         input-waiting thunk for just extended version of make-soft-port.
 741
 742 2002-10-04  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 743
 744         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
 745         >= 0.
 746
 747 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 748
 749         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to

 763         that we can use define-syntax.
 764         (define-syntax-public): New and exported.
 765

 783
 784         * boot-9.scm (file-set-position): Make third argument optional,
 785         for SCM compatibility.
 786         (file-position): simplify definition.
 787
 788 2002-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 789
 790         * boot-9.scm (file-set-position): Use seek instead of fseek.

 801
 802         * format.scm (format:fn-max): Increase to 400 so ~f and ~g can
 803         print long real numbers with large positive and negative
 804         exponents.
 805
 806 2002-05-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 807

 812         * gap-buffer.scm: New file.

 834 2002-02-24  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 835
 836         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
 837         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
 838         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
 839
 840         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.
 841

 853
 854         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
 855         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
 856         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
 857         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
 858
 859 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 860
 861         More options for pretty-print.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!

 863         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
 864         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
 865         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
 866
 867 2001-11-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 868
 869         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have

 878         positions.

 881
 882         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 883         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 884         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 885
 886         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,

 893           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 894           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 895           exporting bindings.
 896
 897 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 898
 899         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
 900         :re-export-syntax
 901
 902 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 903
 904         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 905         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 906         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 907         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 908
 909 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 910
 911         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,

 927
 928         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 929         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
 930
 931 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 932
 933         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 934         the `arglist' procedure property.
 935         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 936         present a more detailed argument list.
 937
 938         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 939
 940 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 941
 942         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
 943         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel

 947
 948         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
 949
 950         (feature?): Deprecated.

 965         functionality.
 966
 967         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
 968         needed to trick export.
 969
 970 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 971
 972         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.
 973
 974 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 975
 976         * and-let-star-compat.scm:  Deleted.

 979
 980 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 981
 982         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
 983         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
 984         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
 985
 986 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 987
 988         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
 989         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
 990
 991 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 992
 993         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

1008         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
1009
1010         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'

1012         next element is to be taken as the option arg.
1013
1014 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
1015
1016         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
1017         handle :use-syntax correctly.
1018
1019 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1020
1021         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in

1025
1026         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in

1028         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
1029         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
1030         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
1031

1039
1040         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
1041         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
1042
1043 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1044
1045         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
1046         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
1047         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
1048         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
1049
1050         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
1051         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
1052         since there aren't definitions for them.
1053
1054         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
1055         argument is "renamer" not "rename".

1058
1059         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
1060         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
1061
1062 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1063
1064         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
1065         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
1066
1067 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1068
1069         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
1070         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
1071         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.

1083
1084         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
1085         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
1086         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
1087         New.
1088
1089 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1090
1091         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
1092         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
1093
1094 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1095
1096         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.

1139 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1140
1141         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
1142         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
1143         rdelim) module.  See below.
1144
1145 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1146
1147         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if

1165
1166         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
1167         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
1168         variable, not just a visible one.
1169         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
1170         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
1171         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
1172         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
1173         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
1174         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
1175         variables.
1176         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
1177
1178         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
1179         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.

1182
1183         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
1184         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
1185
1186 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1187
1188         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
1189
1190 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1191
1192         Added exception notice to all files.
1193
1194         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
1195         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
1196         importing bindings once in a while.
1197
1198 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1199
1200         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
1201         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
1202         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1203         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
1204         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
1205         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
1206         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
1207         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
1208         message.
1209         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
1210         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
1211
1212 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1213
1214         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
1215         fix command so that it works.

1217         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
1218         to access unbound variables.
1219
1220         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
1221         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
1222         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
1223         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
1224         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
1225
1226 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1227
1228         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
1229         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
1230         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
1231         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
1232         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
1233         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
1234         argument for process-define-module.
1235         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
1236         arguments for process-use-modules.
1237         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.

1242         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.

1244         module.
1245
1246         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
1247         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
1248         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
1249

1257
1258 2001-05-21  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

1278
1279         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
1280         * match.scm: Likewise.
1281         * expect.scm: Likewise.
1282         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.

1292         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
1293         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
1294         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
1295         element list when adding "." to it.
1296         (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
1297         dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.

1300
1301         * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
1302         cleanup; nfc.
1303         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
1304         now accepts arg; update callers.
1305         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
1306         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
1307
1308         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
1309         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
1310         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
1311         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
1312         `search-documentation-files'.
1313         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
1314         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.

1325
1326         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,

1336
1337 2001-05-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

1340
1341         * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
1342         the module obarray.
1343         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
1344
1345         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
1346         the magical undefined value.
1347         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
1348         the default default for bindings.
1349
1350         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
1351         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
1352         (root-module-closure): Removed.
1353         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the

1359         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
1360         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
1361         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
1362         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
1363         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
1364         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
1365         `set-current-module' call.
1366         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
1367         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.

1400         or a interface spec.
1401         (symbol-prefix-proc): New proc.
1402         (%autoloader-developer-mode): Delete.
1403         (process-define-module): Use "define-module" in error messages
1404         instead of "defmodule".  Factor error into internal proc.
1405         Rewrite `use-module' and `use-syntax' handlers.
1406         Replace some single-arm `if-not' constructs w/ `or'.
1407         (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
1408         which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.

1710         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
1711
1712         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
1713         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
1714
1715         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
1716         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.

1718 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1719
1720         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
1721         in C for now.
1722         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
1723         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
1724
1725 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1726
1727         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
1728         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
1729         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
1730         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.

1732         for now.

1735
1736 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1737
1738         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1739         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1740         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1741         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1742         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1743         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1744         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.

1752

1780
1781 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1782
1783         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1784         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1785         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1786         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1787         scm-style-repl.

1794 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1795
1796         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1797         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1798         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1799         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1800         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1801         Pirotte for the bug report).
1802         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1803         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

1826
1827         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1828         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1829         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1830
1831         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a

1833         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1834         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the

1868         args.
1869         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1870         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1871         even worked...  /mdj.
1872         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use

1884         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
1885         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
1886
1887 2000-08-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1888
1889         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.

1896
1897         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive.  (Thanks to

1899
1900 2000-08-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1901
1902         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1903         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1904         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1905         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1906         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1907
1908         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1909
1910 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1911
1912         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
1913         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1914
1915         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1916         syntactic bindings.
1917
1918         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1919         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1920         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
1921         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1922
1923         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.

1925         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
1926         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
1927
1928         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
1929
1930         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1931         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1932
1933 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1934
1935         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1936         definition of module-type.
1937
1938         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1939
1940         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1941
1942         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1943         lines.
1944         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1945         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1946
1947 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1948
1949         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
1950
1951 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1952
1953         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
1954         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
1955         Mikael for the suggestion.
1956
1957 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1958
1959         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1960         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1961
1962 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1963
1964         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1965         for export args.
1966
1967 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1968
1969         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
1970
1971 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1972
1973         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1974         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
1975         for the hint.
1976
1977         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
1978         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
1979         tail recursive yet.
1980
1981 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1982
1983         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1984         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1985
1986         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1987         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1988         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1989         See NEWS.
1990         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1991
1992         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1993
1994 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1995
1996         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1997         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1998
1999 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2000
2001         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
2002         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
2003
2004 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2005
2006         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
2007         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
2008
2009 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2010
2011         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
2012
2013         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2014
2015         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
2016
2017 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2018
2019         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
2020         '() instead of #f.
2021         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
2022         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
2023         `the-root-module'.
2024         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
2025
2026         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
2027         documentation.scm.
2028
2029         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
2030         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
2031         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
2032         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
2033         (help): Rewritten.
2034
2035         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
2036
2037         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
2038
2039 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2040
2041         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
2042         (write-all): Removed.
2043         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
2044         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
2045
2046 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
2047
2048         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
2049         `proc-documentation'
2050
2051         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
2052         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
2053         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
2054         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
2055         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
2056         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
2057         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
2058         getter...)
2059
2060 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2061
2062         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
2063
2064 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2065
2066         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
2067         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
2068         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
2069         closure.
2070
2071 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2072
2073         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
2074         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
2075         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
2076         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
2077         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
2078         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
2079         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
2080
2081 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2082
2083         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
2084         accept complex numbers as parameter.
2085
2086 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2087
2088         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
2089         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
2090
2091 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2092
2093         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
2094         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
2095         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
2096         instead of remove-if when iterating.
2097         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
2098         delete-if! when iterating.
2099
2100 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2101
2102         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
2103
2104 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2105
2106         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
2107
2108 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2109
2110         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
2111         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
2112         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
2113         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
2114
2115 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2116
2117         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
2118         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
2119
2120 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2121
2122         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
2123         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
2124         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
2125         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
2126
2127 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
2128
2129         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
2130         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
2131
2132 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2133
2134         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
2135         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
2136
2137 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2138
2139         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
2140         Dirk Hermann!
2141
2142 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2143
2144         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
2145         source of the numerous very short changes.
2146
2147 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2148
2149         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
2150         public.
2151
2152         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
2153         info pages.
2154
2155 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2156
2157         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
2158         from slib docs.
2159
2160 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2161
2162         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
2163         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
2164
2165 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2166
2167         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
2168         to string-append.
2169
2170 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2171
2172         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
2173         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
2174         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
2175
2176 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2177
2178         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
2179         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
2180         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
2181         Narazaki for this change.
2182
2183 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2184
2185         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
2186         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
2187         %S.
2188
2189         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
2190         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
2191
2192 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2193
2194         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
2195         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
2196
2197 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2198
2199         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
2200         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
2201         use define-public to export from the module.
2202
2203 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2204
2205         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
2206         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
2207         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
2208
2209 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2210
2211         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
2212
2213 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2214
2215         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
2216         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
2217
2218 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2219
2220         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
2221
2222         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
2223
2224         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
2225
2226 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2227
2228         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
2229         long_long uniform vectors.
2230
2231 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2232
2233         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
2234         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
2235
2236 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2237
2238         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
2239         script to create generated files like this one.
2240
2241 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2242
2243         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
2244         available before using getpw and getuid.
2245         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
2246         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
2247         check for stat.
2248         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
2249         check for .guile, instead of stat.
2250         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
2251         available.
2252         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
2253         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
2254         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
2255
2256         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
2257         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
2258
2259         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.

2264         than 'exit-debugger.
2265
2266         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
2267         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
2268
2269         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.

2271 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2272

2282 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2283
2284         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
2285         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
2286         Badros.)
2287
2288 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2289
2290         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
2291         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
2292
2293 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2294
2295         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

2310
2311         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
2312         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
2313
2314         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
2315
2316 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2317
2318         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
2319         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
2320         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
2321         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
2322
2323         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
2324         argument.
2325
2326         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
2327         both forward and backward views of the stack
2328         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
2329         Use selector `frame-number';
2330         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
2331         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
2332         Use (ice-9 debug).
2333         Use readline conditionally.
2334
2335 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2336
2337         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
2338         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
2339         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
2340
2341         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
2342         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
2343         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
2344
2345 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2346
2347         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
2348
2349         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
2350
2351         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
2352
2353         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2354
2355 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2356
2357         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
2358         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
2359         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
2360         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
2361         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
2362         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
2363         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
2364         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
2365         libguile-config-stamp.
2366         * version.scm.in: Delete.
2367         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
2368         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
2369         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
2370         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
2371
2372 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2373
2374         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
2375         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
2376         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
2377
2378         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
2379         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
2380         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
2381         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
2382         readline.
2383
2384         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
2385
2386 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
2387
2388         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
2389
2390 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2391
2392         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
2393         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
2394
2395 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
2396
2397         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
2398         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
2399         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
2400         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
2401         objects starting with '#/'.
2402
2403 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2404
2405         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
2406         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
2407         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
2408         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
2409         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
2410         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
2411         `observer-id'.
2412         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
2413         module-modified): New procedures.
2414         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
2415         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
2416
2417 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2418
2419         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
2420         defines.
2421
2422 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2423
2424         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
2425         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
2426         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2427
2428         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
2429         position.
2430
2431 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2432
2433         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
2434         at multiple calls to read.
2435         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
2436         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
2437         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
2438         continued-lines prompt.
2439
2440         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
2441         reading expressions.
2442
2443 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2444
2445         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
2446         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2447
2448 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2449
2450         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
2451         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
2452         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2453
2454         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2455
2456         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
2457         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
2458
2459         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
2460         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
2461         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
2462         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
2463         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
2464         instead of a port.
2465
2466 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2467
2468         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
2469         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2470
2471         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
2472
2473         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
2474         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
2475         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
2476         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
2477
2478         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
2479
2480         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2481
2482         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
2483         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
2484         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
2485         an alist.
2486
2487         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2488
2489         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
2490         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
2491         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
2492         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
2493         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
2494         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2495         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
2496         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
2497         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
2498         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2499         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
2500
2501         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2502
2503         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
2504         peeked from the stream.
2505         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
2506         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
2507         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
2508
2509         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2510
2511         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
2512         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
2513
2514         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2515
2516         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2517         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
2518         exiting repl with single control-D.
2519
2520         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2521
2522         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2523         error catching loop after quit received.
2524         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2525
2526         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2527         primitive exit if non-interactive.
2528         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2529
2530         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2531         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2532         boot-9.scm.
2533         * popen.scm: new file.
2534
2535 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2536
2537        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
2538        (reverse-iota):  removed.
2539
2540 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2541
2542         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
2543         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
2544
2545 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2546
2547         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2548         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2549         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2550         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2551         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2552
2553 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2554
2555         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2556
2557         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2558         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2559
2560         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2561         Guile's module system.
2562
2563         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2564         changes:
2565         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2566         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2567         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2568         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
2569         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2570         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2571         modern CL behavior.
2572         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2573         '() when the condition is false.
2574
2575 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

2579 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2580
2581         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2582
2583 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2584
2585         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2586         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2587         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2588
2589 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2590
2591         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2592         argument order for hash-fold.
2593
2594 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2595
2596         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
2597         resolve-module.
2598         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2599         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2600
2601         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2602         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2603         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2604         has been added to the load path).
2605
2606         Use try-load-module.

2608 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2609
2610         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
2611         module between system and user state.
2612
2613 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2614
2615         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2616
2617         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2618         definition.
2619
2620 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2621
2622         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2623         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2624         system can create a wrapper class for it.
2625
2626 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2627
2628         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2629         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
2630         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2631         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2632         stack frame encountered.
2633
2634         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2635         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2636         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2637         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2638         list).]
2639
2640         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2641         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2642         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2643         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2644         please tell me!]
2645
2646         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2647         define-module switches:
2648
2649         (define-module (foo)
2650           :no-backtrace)
2651
2652         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2653         modules.
2654
2655         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2656         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2657         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2658         module it is a system frame.
2659
2660         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2661         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2662         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2663         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2664         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2665
2666         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2667         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
2668         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2669         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2670         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
2671         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2672
2673         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2674         status of a module.;
2675         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2676         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2677
2678         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2679         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2680         closure to the module.
2681
2682         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2683
2684 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2685

2687
2688 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2689

2691
2692 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2693
2694         Fix from Russ McManus:
2695         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2696         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2697         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2698         either an optional or required value.
2699
2700 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2701
2702         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2703
2704         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2705         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2706
2707         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2708         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2709         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2710         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2711
2712 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2713
2714         * optargs.scm: New file.
2715         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2716         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2717
2718 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2719
2720         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2721         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2722         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2723
2724 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2725
2726         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2727         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2728         for isn't loaded.
2729
2730 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2731
2732         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2733
2734 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2735
2736         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2737         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2738         applied to the module itself.
2739
2740 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2741
2742         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2743
2744         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2745         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2746
2747 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2748
2749         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2750
2751 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2752
2753         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2754
2755 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2756
2757         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2758         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2759
2760 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2761
2762         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2763         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2764         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2765         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2766         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2767         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2768         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2769
2770 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2771
2772         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2773         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2774
2775 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2776
2777         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2778         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2779         static libraries.
2780
2781 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2782
2783         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2784
2785 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2786
2787         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2788
2789 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2790
2791         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2792         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2793         adapt to the new hooks.
2794
2795 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2796
2797         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2798         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2799         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2800         code.
2801         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2802         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2803
2804         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2805         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2806         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2807         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2808         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2809         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2810         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2811         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2812         first to register linked modules.
2813
2814         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2815         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2816         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2817
2818         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2819         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2820         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2821         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2822
2823         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2824         to use from C:
2825         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2826         libguile/feature.c.
2827
2828         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2829         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2830         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2831
2832 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2833
2834         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2835         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2836         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2837
2838 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2839
2840         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2841         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2842         result of the last form.
2843
2844 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2845
2846         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2847         syncase.scm.
2848
2849         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2850
2851         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2852         readline-set!: New options interface.
2853
2854         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2855
2856 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2857
2858         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2859         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2860
2861 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2862
2863         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2864         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2865
2866 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2867
2868         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2869         interactive session.
2870         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2871
2872         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2873         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2874
2875 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2876
2877         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2878
2879 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2880
2881         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2882         read line was empty.
2883
2884 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2885
2886         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2887         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2888
2889         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2890
2891         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2892         problem.  Duh.
2893         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2894         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2895         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2896
2897         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2898         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2899         into...
2900         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2901         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2902         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2903
2904         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2905         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2906         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2907         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2908         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2909         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2910         psyntax.ss.
2911         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2912
2913         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2914         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2915
2916 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2917
2918         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2919         and short vectors #h(...).
2920
2921 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2922
2923         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2924         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2925         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2926
2927 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2928
2929         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2930         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2931         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2932
2933 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2934
2935         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2936         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2937
2938         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2939         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2940         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2941         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2942
2943 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2944
2945         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2946         trace flag.
2947
2948         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2949         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2950         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic

2953 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2954
2955         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2956         module.
2957         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2958
2959 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2960
2961         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2962         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2963         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2964         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2965         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2966
2967 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2968
2969         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2970         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2971
2972 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2973
2974         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2975
2976 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2977
2978         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2979
2980 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2981
2982         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2983
2984 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2985
2986         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2987         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2988
2989 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2990
2991         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2992         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2993         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2994         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
2995         Archibald.)
2996
2997         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2998         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2999         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
3000
3001 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3002
3003         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
3004         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
3005         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
3006         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
3007         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
3008         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
3009         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
3010
3011 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3012
3013         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
3014
3015 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3016
3017         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
3018         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
3019         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
3020         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
3021         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
3022         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
3023
3024 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3025
3026         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
3027         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
3028         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
3029         Steven G. Johnson.)
3030
3031 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3032
3033         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
3034
3035 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3036
3037         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
3038
3039 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3040
3041         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
3042         be completed.
3043
3044 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3045
3046         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
3047
3048 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3049
3050         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
3051         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
3052
3053 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3054
3055         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
3056         similar in use to `use-modules'.
3057         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
3058         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
3059         transformer.
3060         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
3061         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
3062
3063 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3064
3065         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
3066
3067 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3068
3069         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
3070         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
3071         completion.
3072
3073         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
3074         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
3075
3076         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
3077         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
3078         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
3079
3080         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
3081
3082 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3083
3084         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
3085
3086         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
3087         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
3088
3089 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3090
3091         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
3092
3093 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3094
3095         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
3096         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
3097
3098         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
3099
3100         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
3101         obsolete.
3102
3103 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3104
3105         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
3106         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
3107
3108 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3109
3110         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
3111
3112 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3113
3114         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
3115         Stachowiak.)
3116
3117 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3118
3119         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
3120         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
3121         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
3122         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
3123         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
3124         threads.
3125
3126 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3127
3128         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
3129         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
3130         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
3131
3132 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3133
3134         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
3135
3136         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
3137         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
3138
3139 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3140
3141         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
3142         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
3143         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
3144         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
3145         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
3146         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
3147         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
3148         to go here.
3149
3150 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3151
3152         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
3153         is now a fluid.
3154
3155 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3156
3157         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
3158         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
3159         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
3160         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
3161         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
3162         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
3163
3164 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3165
3166         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
3167         usefully so they will work from a script.
3168
3169 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3170
3171         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
3172         neighborhood of the record code.
3173
3174 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3175
3176         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
3177         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
3178         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
3179         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
3180
3181 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3182
3183         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
3184         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
3185         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3186
3187 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3188
3189         Add support for readline function.
3190         * readline.scm: New module.
3191         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
3192         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
3193         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
3194         anything.
3195         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
3196         repl-reader to use them.
3197         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
3198
3199         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
3200
3201 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3202
3203         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3204         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
3205
3206 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3207
3208         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
3209         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
3210         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
3211
3212 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3213
3214         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
3215         #f, abort terminates the process.
3216         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
3217         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
3218
3219 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3220
3221         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
3222         print-state, throw it away.
3223
3224 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3225
3226         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
3227         `0'.
3228
3229 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3230
3231         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
3232         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
3233         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
3234         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
3235         user field).
3236         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
3237         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
3238
3239 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3240
3241         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
3242
3243 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3244
3245         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
3246         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
3247         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
3248         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3249         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
3250         boot-9.scm.
3251         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
3252         distribution and installation.
3253         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3254
3255 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3256
3257         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
3258
3259 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3260
3261         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
3262         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
3263         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
3264
3265         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
3266         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
3267         symbol.
3268
3269 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3270
3271         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
3272
3273         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
3274
3275 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3276
3277         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
3278         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
3279         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
3280         field a separate argument.
3281
3282         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
3283
3284 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3285
3286         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
3287
3288         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
3289         vicinity;
3290         Provide defmacro.
3291
3292 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3293
3294         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
3295
3296 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3297
3298         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
3299         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
3300         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
3301         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
3302         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
3303         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
3304         registered.
3305         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
3306         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
3307         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
3308         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
3309         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
3310         link a .so-file.

3322
3323         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
3324
3325         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
3326         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
3327         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
3328         expansion inside the slib module.
3329
3330         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
3331         constructors.

3338         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
3339
3340         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
3341         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
3342         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
3343         source.
3344         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
3345         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
3346         been loaded.
3347
3348 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

3355         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

3357         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
3358         mutator for module-associated transformer.
3359         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
3360         `scm:eval-transformer'.
3361         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
3362         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
3363         module.
3364         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
3365
3366 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3367
3368         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
3369
3370         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
3371         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
3372         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
3373         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
3374         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
3375
3376         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
3377         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as

3379         syncase macros.
3380         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
3381         the syncase interface.
3382
3383 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3384
3385         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
3386         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
3387         workings of the current module system).
3388
3389 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3390
3391         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
3392         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
3393         off!
3394
3395 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3400
3401 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3402
3403         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
3404         according to the following priorities:
3405         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
3406         2. bindings from the-scm-module
3407         3. tcl bindings
3408         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
3409         disabling the scheme interpreter.
3410         (new-interpreter): New function.
3411
3412         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
3413         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
3414         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
3415

3425

3431
3432         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
3433         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
3434         source!
3435
3436 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3437
3438         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.

3443         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
3444         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
3445         in stack-ref).
3446
3447         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
3448         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
3449         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
3450         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
3451         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
3452         result protocol;

3465
3466 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3467
3468         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
3469         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
3470         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
3471
3472         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
3473
3474         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
3475         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
3476         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
3477

3486         cstime.
3487

3489
3490         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
3491         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
3492         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
3493
3494         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
3495         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
3496         the top.
3497
3498         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
3499         order to narrow it correctly.

3509         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.

3511 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3512
3513         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
3514         builtin `with-fluids*'.
3515
3516 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3517
3518         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3519         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
3520         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
3521
3522 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3534
3535 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3536
3537         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
3538         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
3539         a default of /.
3540
3541         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
3542
3543 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

3545         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
3546         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list

3553
3554         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3555         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3556         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
3557         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3558         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3559         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3560
3561         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3562         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3563         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3564         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3565
3566 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3567
3568         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3569         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
3570         sending in bug reports.
3571         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3572         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3573         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3574         display a warning if the two are different.
3575         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3576         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3577         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3578
3579 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

3585         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3586         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3587
3588         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3589         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3590         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3591         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3592         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3593         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3594         that's okay.
3595
3596         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
3597         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3598         regexp interface.
3599
3600         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3601         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
3602
3603         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3604         function names.
3605
3606         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3607         fixes.

3610
3611         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3612         ../configure.in.
3613
3614 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3615
3616         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3617         vtable and not the one of the struct.
3618
3619 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3620
3621         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3622         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3623         to support printing of structures.
3624         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3625         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
3626         commented out printing code.
3627         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3628         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".

3630 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3631
3632         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3633
3634 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3635
3636         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3637         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3638         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3639         during call to scm-style-repl.

3643         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3644         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3645         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3646         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3647         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3648
3649 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3650
3651         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3652         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3653         (ice-9 regex).
3654
3655 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3656
3657         * regex.scm: New file.
3658         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3659         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3660
3661 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3662
3663         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
3664         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
3665         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
3666         threads.scm: New address for FSF.
3667
3668 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3669
3670         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
3671         in 1997.
3672
3673 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3674
3675         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3676         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3677         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3678
3679 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3680
3681         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3682         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3683         here.
3684
3685 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3686
3687         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3688
3689 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3690
3691         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3692
3693 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3694
3695         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3696         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3697         fixes this too.
3698
3699 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3700
3701         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3702         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3703         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3704
3705 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3706
3707         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3708         the Scheme code like code yet.
3709         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3710
3711 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3712
3713         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3714         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3715         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3716
3717 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3718
3719         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3720         use-modules macro
3721         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3722         can't be found.
3723
3724 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3725
3726         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3727
3728 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3729
3730         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3731
3732         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3733         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3734         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3735
3736 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3737
3738         Get 'make dist' to work again.
3739         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3740         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
3741
3742         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3743         no plugins.
3744         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3745         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3746
3747 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3748
3749         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
3750         functions.
3751

3753
3754         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
3755
3756 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3757
3758         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3759         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
3760
3761 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3762
3763         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3764         instead of in libguile.
3765         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3766         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3767
3768 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3769
3770         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3771         procedures.
3772         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3773         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3774
3775 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3776
3777         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3778         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3779
3780 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3781
3782         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3783         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3784         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3785         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3786
3787 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3788
3789         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3790         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3791
3792 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3793
3794         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3795
3796 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3797
3798         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3799         keywords and symbols.
3800
3801 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3802
3803         * slib.scm: update read usage.
3804
3805         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3806         Don't define read-sharp.
3807
3808         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3809         (read-sharp): removed.
3810         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3811         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3812
3813 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3814
3815         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3816
3817         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
3818         primitive procedure.)
3819
3820         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3821         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3822
3823 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3824
3825         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3826
3827 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3828
3829         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3830
3831 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3832
3833         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3834         read gets EOF.
3835         * (exit): alias for quit.
3836
3837 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3838
3839         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3840         return the quit args.
3841         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3842         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3843         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3844
3845         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3846
3847 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3848
3849         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3850
3851         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3852         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3853
3854         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3855         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3856
3857         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3858         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3859         of handlers.
3860
3861 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3862
3863         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3864
3865         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3866         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3867         Change hooks to use these functions.
3868
3869         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3870         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3871         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3872         the source! :-)
3873         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3874         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3875         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3876         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3877         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3878         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3879         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3880         traced.
3881
3882         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3883         and exit-frame exceptions.
3884
3885         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3886         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3887         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3888         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3889         result; otherwise display "> ".
3890         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3891
3892         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3893         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3894         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3895         repository version runnable.
3896
3897 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3898
3899         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3900         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3901         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3902         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3903         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3904         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3905
3906 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3907
3908         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3909         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3910         and eval.
3911         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3912         "defined?".
3913         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3914         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3915
3916 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3917
3918         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3919
3920 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3921
3922         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3923         %read-sharp layer.
3924
3925 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3926
3927         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3928         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3929
3930 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3931
3932         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3933         backtrace.c.)
3934
3935 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3936
3937         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3938         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3939
3940 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3941
3942         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3943
3944         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3945         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3946         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3947         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3948         dynamic linking of modules.
3949         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3950         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3951
3952 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3953
3954         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3955
3956 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3957
3958         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3959         that's what it is.
3960
3961         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3962         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3963         was false.
3964
3965 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3966
3967         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3968         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3969         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3970
3971 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3972
3973         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3974         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
3975         yet.
3976
3977 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3978
3979         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3980         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3981         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3982
3983 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3984
3985         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3986         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3987         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3988         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3989
3990         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3991         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3992         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3993         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3994         (such as the-scm-module).
3995
3996 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3997
3998         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3999         %search-load-path.
4000
4001 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
4002
4003         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
4004         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
4005         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
4006
4007 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4008
4009         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
4010         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
4011         function, use it accordingly.
4012
4013 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4014
4015         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
4016         function of no arguments.
4017         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
4018         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
4019         set-current-module): Uses changed.
4020         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
4021         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
4022         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
4023         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
4024         *top-level-eval-closure*.
4025
4026 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4027
4028         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
4029         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
4030
4031 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4032
4033         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4034         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
4035         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
4036         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
4037         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
4038
4039         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
4040         `*features*'.
4041
4042         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
4043         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
4044         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
4045         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
4046
4047         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
4048
4049         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
4050
4051         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
4052         If the user wants to see this, he can do
4053         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
4054
4055         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
4056         error.
4057
4058         Added `before-read-hook'.
4059
4060         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
4061
4062         (provide): New function.
4063
4064         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
4065         in backtraces.
4066
4067         (backtrace): New function.
4068
4069         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
4070         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
4071         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
4072         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
4073         is found in operator position in a frame.
4074
4075         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4076         by default.
4077
4078         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
4079         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
4080         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
4081
4082         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
4083
4084         (library-vicinity): Updated.
4085
4086         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
4087
4088         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
4089
4090 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4091
4092         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
4093
4094         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
4095         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
4096
4097         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
4098         so they'll get distributed.
4099
4100         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
4101         should see as little clutter as possible.
4102         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
4103         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
4104         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
4105
4106         * r4rs.scm: New file.
4107         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
4108         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
4109         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
4110         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
4111         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
4112         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
4113         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
4114         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
4115         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
4116         that are not.
4117         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
4118         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
4119
4120         * test.scm: New file.
4121
4122         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
4123         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
4124         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
4125
4126         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
4127         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
4128
4129         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
4130         work now.
4131         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
4132         call %load-announce.
4133
4134 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4135
4136         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
4137         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
4138         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
4139         components.
4140         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
4141
4142 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4143
4144         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
4145         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
4146         SCSH (which this isn't).
4147
4148 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4149
4150         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4151
4152 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4153
4154         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
4155         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
4156         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
4157         these.
4158         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
4159         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
4160         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
4161         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
4162         save-stack.
4163
4164 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4165
4166         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
4167
4168         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
4169
4170         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
4171         error-catching-loop.
4172         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
4173         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
4174         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
4175
4176         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
4177         error-catching-loop.
4178
4179 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4180
4181         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
4182         (make-module): Rework for readability.
4183         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
4184         should be '(), not #f.
4185
4186         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
4187         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
4188
4189 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4190
4191         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
4192         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
4193         error-signal.
4194
4195 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4196
4197         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
4198         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
4199         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
4200         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
4201
4202 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4203
4204         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
4205
4206 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4207
4208         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
4209
4210         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
4211         throw-handler-default.
4212         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
4213         reported.
4214         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
4215         acro.
4216         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
4217         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
4218
4219 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4220
4221         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
4222         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
4223         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
4224         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
4225
4226 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4227
4228         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
4229         Append "." to the default %load-path.
4230         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
4231         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
4232         ...))
4233         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
4234         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
4235         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
4236         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
4237         file-is-directory?
4238
4239 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4240
4241         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
4242
4243         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
4244         distribution.
4245
4246         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
4247         `switch-repl'.
4248
4249         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
4250
4251 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4252
4253         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
4254         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
4255
4256 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4257
4258         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
4259
4260         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
4261
4262 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4263
4264         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
4265         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
4266         Don't set up 'error as a key.
4267         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
4268         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
4269
4270         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
4271         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
4272         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
4273         they seem redundant.
4274         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
4275         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
4276         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
4277         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
4278         directly files starting with "/").
4279         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
4280         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
4281
4282         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
4283
4284 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4285
4286         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
4287         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
4288         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
4289         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
4290         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
4291         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
4292         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
4293         robust to just do it in the C code.
4294
4295 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4296
4297         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
4298         %try-load itself was the primitive.
4299         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
4300         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
4301         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
4302
4303 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4304
4305         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
4306         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
4307         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
4308
4309 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4310
4311         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
4312         system-error, not every kind of error.
4313         (scm-error): new procedure.
4314
4315 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4316
4317         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4318
4319 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4320
4321         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
4322         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
4323         of args are supplied.
4324         (%%system-errors): removed.
4325         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
4326         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with

4358
4359         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
4360         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
4361         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
4362         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
4363         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

4400         for these.
