  34
  35         Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
  36         following changes:
  37
  38         * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
  39
  40         (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
  41         %system-define.
  42
  43         * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
  44         until Guile supports hygienic macros.

  47
  48         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
  49         has been removed from the core.
  50
  51 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  52
  53         * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
  54         identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
  55         syntax-rules, with-syntax, include):  Changed definitions to form
  56         'real' macro definitions.
  57
  58 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  59
  60         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
  61         Fixed my previous fix (blush).
  62

  64
  65         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
  66         Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
  67

  69
  70         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition

  75         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"

  88         set-readline-prompt dynamically if we need to.  (Previous
  89         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
  90         readline).)

  92 2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  93

  98
  99         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'.  This

 101
 102 2002-10-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 103
 104         Merging debugger enhancements previously in separate
 105         `guile-debugger' package ...
 106
 107         * debugger.scm: Factored out into the following constituent parts
 108         - see comment in file for more details.
 109         (*not-yet-introduced*): New (avoids repeatedly introducing the

 113
 114         * debugger/commands.scm, debugger/command-loop.scm,
 115         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits
 116         of old (ice-9 debugger), plus some rewriting and enhancements for
 117         breakpoint support ...

 123         (write-state-short): Rewritten to print out the current source
 124         location in a way that is more easily trackable by Emacs.
 125
 126         * debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
 127         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
 128         execution from a breakpoint.
 129
 130         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,
 131         debugger/breakpoints/procedural.scm,
 132         debugger/breakpoints/range.scm, debugger/breakpoints/source.scm,
 133         debugger/trap-hooks.scm, debugger/trc.scm: New files - breakpoint

 141
 142         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Do not call unmask-signals, that
 143         should be unnecessary now.
 144
 145 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 146
 147         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
 148         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
 149         the-root-module.
 150
 151 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 152
 153         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
 154         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and

 157
 158 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

 164
 165         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
 166         >= 0.
 167
 168 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 169
 170         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to
 171         limit the signal stack.
 172

 182
 183         * syncase.scm: Set the module transformer of the-syncase-module so

 232
 233         * gap-buffer.scm: New file.

 256
 257         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's

 260
 261         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.

 274
 275         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
 276         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
 277         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
 278         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
 279
 280 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 281

 284         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
 285         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
 286         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
 287
 288 2001-11-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 289
 290         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have

 298         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
 299         positions.
 300

 302
 303         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 304         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 305         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 306
 307         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,
 308           channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,

 310           null.scm, optargs.scm, poe.scm, popen.scm, pretty-print.scm,

 313           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
 314           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 315           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 316           exporting bindings.
 317
 318 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 319
 320         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,

 322
 323 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 324
 325         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 326         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 327         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 328         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 329
 330 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 331
 332         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
 333         %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,
 334         %%apropos-internal): Use module-define! instead of
 335         builtin-variable.

 338
 339         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.
 340
 341 2001-09-19  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>
 342
 343         * expect.scm: Commentary fix; nfc.
 344
 345         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
 346
 347 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 348
 349         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 350         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
 351
 352 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 353
 354         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 355         the `arglist' procedure property.
 356         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 357         present a more detailed argument list.
 358
 359         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 360
 361 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 362
 363         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
 364         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel
 365         Skarda.
 366

 368
 369         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
 370
 371         (feature?): Deprecated.
 372
 373         (id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags,
 374         eval-in-module, split-c-module-name,

 380         try-module-dynamic-link): Removed.
 381
 382         (module-make-local-var!, module-ensure-local-variable!,
 383         module-define!): Eliminate call to `variable-set-name-hint!´.
 384

 387
 388         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was

 392
 393         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.

 395 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 396
 397         * and-let-star-compat.scm:  Deleted.
 398

 400
 401 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 402
 403         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
 404         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
 405         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
 406
 407 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 408
 409         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
 410         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
 411
 412 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 413
 414         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

 417
 418         * getopt-long.scm: Rewrite.

 426
 427 2001-08-02  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 428
 429         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
 430
 431         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
 432         value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
 433         next element is to be taken as the option arg.
 434
 435 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
 436
 437         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
 438         handle :use-syntax correctly.
 439
 440 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 441
 442         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
 443         compile-psyntax.scm.
 444
 445 2001-07-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 446
 447         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
 448         maintainer mode.  Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
 449         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
 450         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
 451         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
 452
 453 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

 457         receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
 458
 459 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 460
 461         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 462         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
 463
 464 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 465
 466         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
 467         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
 468         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
 469         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
 470
 471         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 472         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
 473         since there aren't definitions for them.
 474
 475         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
 476         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
 477
 478 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 479
 480         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
 481         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
 482
 483 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 484
 485         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
 486         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
 487
 488 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 489
 490         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
 491         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
 492         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
 493
 494 2001-06-30  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 495
 496         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
 497
 498         * tags.scm: Removed file.
 499
 500 2001-06-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 501
 502         Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
 503         is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
 504
 505         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
 506         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
 507         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
 508         New.
 509
 510 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 511
 512         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
 513         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
 514
 515 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 516
 517         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
 518         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
 519
 520         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
 521         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
 522         evaluator trap options.)
 523
 524 2001-06-25  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 525
 526         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.

 533
 534         * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
 535
 536 2001-06-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 537
 538         * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
 539         `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
 540
 541 2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 542
 543         * match.scm:
 544         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
 545         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
 546         No longer require `pretty-print'.
 547
 548         (slib:error): Delete.
 549         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
 550
 551         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
 552
 553         * README: New file.
 554
 555         * common-list.scm:
 556         Clean up some docstrings; nfc.

 558         Update copyright.
 559
 560 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 561
 562         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
 563         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
 564         rdelim) module.  See below.
 565
 566 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 567
 568         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
 569         include-deprecated-features is true.
 570
 571 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 572
 573         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
 574         unknown objects.
 575
 576         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
 577         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
 578         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 579
 580         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
 581         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
 582         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
 583         Köppe!
 584
 585 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 586
 587         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
 588         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
 589         variable, not just a visible one.
 590         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
 591         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
 592         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
 593         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
 594         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
 595         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
 596         variables.
 597         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
 598
 599         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
 600         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
 601
 602 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 603
 604         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
 605         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
 606
 607 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 608
 609         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
 610
 611 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 612
 613         Added exception notice to all files.
 614
 615         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
 616         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
 617         importing bindings once in a while.
 618
 619 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 620
 621         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
 622         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
 623         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 624         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
 625         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 626         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 627         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 628         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
 629         message.
 630         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
 631         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
 632
 633 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 634
 635         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
 636         fix command so that it works.
 637
 638         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
 639         to access unbound variables.
 640
 641         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
 642         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
 643         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
 644         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
 645         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
 646
 647 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 648
 649         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
 650         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
 651         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
 652         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
 653         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
 654         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
 655         argument for process-define-module.
 656         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
 657         arguments for process-use-modules.
 658         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
 659
 660 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 661
 662         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
 663         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
 664         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
 665         module.
 666
 667         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
 668         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
 669         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
 670
 671         * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.

 674
 675         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
 676         to feature lists.
 677         (cond-expand): Use feature information associated with modules.
 678
 679 2001-05-21  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 680
 681         * boot-9.scm (use-srfis): Do not extend the srfi-0 feature list.
 682         (cond-expand-provide): New procedure.
 683
 684 2001-05-22  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 685
 686         * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
 687         (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when
 688         getting the syntax transformer.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 689
 690 2001-05-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 691
 692         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
 693         deprecated features have been removed.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
 694
 695         * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
 696         `display'.
 697
 698 2001-05-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 699
 700         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
 701         * match.scm: Likewise.
 702         * expect.scm: Likewise.
 703         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 704
 705         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
 706
 707         * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
 708
 709         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
 710         set-current-module.
 711         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
 712         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
 713         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
 714         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
 715         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
 716         element list when adding "." to it.
 717         (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
 718         dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
 719
 720 2001-05-18  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 721
 722         * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
 723         cleanup; nfc.
 724         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
 725         now accepts arg; update callers.
 726         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
 727         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
 728
 729         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
 730         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
 731         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
 732         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
 733         `search-documentation-files'.
 734         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
 735         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.
 736         (help-usage): Mention support for "(help 'NAME)".
 737
 738         * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
 739         Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.

 746
 747         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
 748         so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.
 749         (use-srfis): New procedure.
 750
 751 2001-05-15  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 752
 753         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Signal error now also if
 754         used module's public interface is not available.
 755         No longer call `beautify-user-module!'.
 756         Signal error now also if selected binding not found.
 757
 758 2001-05-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 759
 760         Merge from mvo-vcell-clenaup-1-branch.
 761
 762         * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
 763         the module obarray.
 764         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
 765
 766         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
 767         the magical undefined value.
 768         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
 769         the default default for bindings.
 770
 771         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
 772         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 773         (root-module-closure): Removed.
 774         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 775         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.

1154         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
1155         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.

1158
1159         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1160         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1161         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1162         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1163         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1164         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1165         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.

1168
1169         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only
1170         half the job.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
1171
1172 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1173
1174         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings

1177 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1178

1190         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm

1201
1202 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1203
1204         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1205         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1206         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1207         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1208         scm-style-repl.

1213         and open-output-pipe.
1214
1215 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1216
1217         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1218         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1219         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1220         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1221         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1222         Pirotte for the bug report).
1223         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1224         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

1226 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1227

1247
1248         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1249         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1250         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1251
1252         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1253         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1254         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1255         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1256         actual documentation entries themselves.

1270
1271         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,

1285

1287         `symbol-append'.
1288         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1289         args.
1290         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1291         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1292         even worked...  /mdj.
1293         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1294         `symbol->string'.
1295         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1296         semantics.

1323         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1324         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1325         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1326         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1327         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1328
1329         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1330
1331 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1332
1333         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
1334         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1335
1336         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1337         syntactic bindings.
1338
1339         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1340         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1341         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
1342         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1343

1350
1351         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1352         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1353
1354 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1355
1356         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1357         definition of module-type.
1358
1359         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1360

1362
1363         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1364         lines.

1378 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1379

1381         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1382
1383 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1384
1385         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1386         for export args.
1387
1388 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1389
1390         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.

1393
1394         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,

1396         for the hint.
1397

1400         tail recursive yet.
1401
1402 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1403
1404         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1405         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1406
1407         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.

1409         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1410         See NEWS.
1411         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.

1428         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1429
1430 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

1432         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1433

1436         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1437
1438 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1439
1440         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1441         '() instead of #f.
1442         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1443         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1444         `the-root-module'.
1445         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1446
1447         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with

1451         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1452         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1453         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1454         (help): Rewritten.
1455
1456         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1457
1458         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1459
1460 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

1468
1469         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1470         `proc-documentation'
1471
1472         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
1473         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1474         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1475         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1476         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1477         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1478         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1479         getter...)

1488         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
1489         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1490         closure.
1491
1492 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1493
1494         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
1495         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1496         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
1497         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
1498         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1499         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1500         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1501
1502 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1503
1504         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not

1514         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1515         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1516         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1517         instead of remove-if when iterating.
1518         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1519         delete-if! when iterating.

1521 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1522
1523         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1524
1525 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1526
1527         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
1528
1529 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1530
1531         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1532         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
1533         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1534         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1535
1536 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1537
1538         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
1539         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1540
1541 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1542
1543         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
1544         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1545         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
1546         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
1547
1548 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1549
1550         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1551         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1552
1553 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1554
1555         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1556         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1557
1558 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1559
1560         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1561         Dirk Hermann!
1562
1563 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1564
1565         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1566         source of the numerous very short changes.
1567
1568 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1569
1570         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1571         public.
1572
1573         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1574         info pages.
1575
1576 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1577
1578         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1579         from slib docs.
1580
1581 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1582
1583         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1584         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1585
1586 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1587
1588         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1589         to string-append.
1590
1591 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1592
1593         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1594         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
1595         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1596
1597 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1598
1599         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1600         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1601         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
1602         Narazaki for this change.
1603
1604 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1605
1606         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1607         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1608         %S.
1609
1610         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1611         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1612
1613 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1614
1615         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1616         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1617
1618 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1619
1620         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1621         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1622         use define-public to export from the module.
1623
1624 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1625
1626         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1627         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1628         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1629
1630 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1631
1632         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1633
1634 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1635
1636         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1637         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1638
1639 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1640
1641         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1642
1643         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1644
1645         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1646
1647 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1648
1649         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1650         long_long uniform vectors.
1651
1652 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1653
1654         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1655         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
1656
1657 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1658
1659         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
1660         script to create generated files like this one.
1661
1662 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1663
1664         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1665         available before using getpw and getuid.
1666         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1667         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1668         check for stat.
1669         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1670         check for .guile, instead of stat.
1671         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1672         available.
1673         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
1674         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1675         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1676
1677         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
1678         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1679
1680         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1681
1682 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1683
1684         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
1685         than 'exit-debugger.
1686
1687         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1688         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1689
1690         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1691
1692 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1693
1694         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
1695         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1696         ("position"): New command.
1697         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1698         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.

1700         to return a valid state.)
1701         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
1702
1703 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1704
1705         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1706         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
1707         Badros.)
1708
1709 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1710
1711         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1712         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1713
1714 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1715
1716         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
1717
1718         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.

1726         expression.

1730 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1731
1732         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1733         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1734
1735         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1736
1737 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1738
1739         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1740         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1741         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1742         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1743
1744         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1745         argument.
1746
1747         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1748         both forward and backward views of the stack
1749         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1750         Use selector `frame-number';
1751         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1752         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1753         Use (ice-9 debug).
1754         Use readline conditionally.
1755
1756 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1757
1758         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1759         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1760         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1761
1762         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1763         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
1764         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
1765
1766 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1767
1768         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1769
1770         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1771
1772         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1773
1774         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1775
1776 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1777
1778         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1779         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
1780         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
1781         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1782         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1783         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1784         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1785         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1786         libguile-config-stamp.
1787         * version.scm.in: Delete.
1788         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1789         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1790         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1791         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1792
1793 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1794
1795         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1796         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1797         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1798
1799         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1800         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1801         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1802         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
1803         readline.
1804
1805         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1806
1807 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1808
1809         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1810
1811 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1812
1813         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1814         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1815
1816 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1817
1818         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1819         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1820         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1821         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1822         objects starting with '#/'.
1823
1824 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1825
1826         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1827         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1828         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1829         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1830         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1831         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1832         `observer-id'.
1833         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1834         module-modified): New procedures.
1835         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1836         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1837
1838 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1839
1840         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1841         defines.
1842
1843 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1844
1845         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1846         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1847         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1848
1849         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1850         position.
1851
1852 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1853
1854         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1855         at multiple calls to read.
1856         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1857         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1858         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1859         continued-lines prompt.
1860
1861         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1862         reading expressions.
1863
1864 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1865
1866         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1867         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1868
1869 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

1871         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1872         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
1873         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1874
1875         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1876
1877         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1878         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1879
1880         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1881         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
1882         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1883         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1884         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1885         instead of a port.
1886
1887 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1888
1889         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1890         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1891
1892         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1893
1894         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
1895         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
1896         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1897         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1898
1899         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1900
1901         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1902
1903         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
1904         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1905         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
1906         an alist.
1907
1908         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1909
1910         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1911         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1912         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1913         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1914         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1915         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1916         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1917         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1918         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1919         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1920         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
1921
1922         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1923
1924         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1925         peeked from the stream.
1926         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1927         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1928         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1929
1930         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1931
1932         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1933         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1934
1935         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1936
1937         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1938         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
1939         exiting repl with single control-D.
1940
1941         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1942
1943         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1944         error catching loop after quit received.
1945         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1946
1947         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1948         primitive exit if non-interactive.
1949         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1950
1951         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1952         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1953         boot-9.scm.
1954         * popen.scm: new file.
1955
1956 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1957
1958        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
1959        (reverse-iota):  removed.
1960
1961 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1962
1963         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1964         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1965
1966 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1967
1968         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1969         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1970         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1971         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1972         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1973
1974 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1975
1976         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1977
1978         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1979         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1980
1981         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1982         Guile's module system.
1983
1984         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1985         changes:
1986         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1987         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1988         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1989         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
1990         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1991         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1992         modern CL behavior.
1993         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1994         '() when the condition is false.
1995
1996 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1997
1998         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1999
2000 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2001
2002         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2003
2004 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2005
2006         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2007         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2008         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2009
2010 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2011
2012         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2013         argument order for hash-fold.
2014
2015 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2016
2017         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
2018         resolve-module.
2019         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2020         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2021
2022         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2023         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2024         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2025         has been added to the load path).
2026
2027         Use try-load-module.
2028
2029 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2030
2031         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
2032         module between system and user state.
2033
2034 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2035
2036         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2037
2038         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2039         definition.
2040
2041 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2042
2043         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2044         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2045         system can create a wrapper class for it.
2046
2047 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2048
2049         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2050         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
2051         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2052         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2053         stack frame encountered.
2054
2055         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2056         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2057         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2058         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2059         list).]
2060
2061         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2062         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2063         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2064         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2065         please tell me!]
2066
2067         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2068         define-module switches:
2069
2070         (define-module (foo)
2071           :no-backtrace)
2072
2073         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2074         modules.
2075
2076         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2077         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2078         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2079         module it is a system frame.
2080
2081         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2082         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2083         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2084         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2085         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2086
2087         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2088         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
2089         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2090         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2091         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
2092         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2093
2094         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2095         status of a module.;
2096         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2097         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2098
2099         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2100         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2101         closure to the module.
2102
2103         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2104
2105 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2106
2107         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
2108
2109 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2110
2111         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
2112
2113 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2114
2115         Fix from Russ McManus:
2116         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2117         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2118         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2119         either an optional or required value.
2120
2121 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2122
2123         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2124
2125         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2126         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2127
2128         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2129         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2130         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2131         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2132
2133 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2134
2135         * optargs.scm: New file.
2136         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2137         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2138
2139 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2140
2141         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2142         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2143         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2144
2145 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2146
2147         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2148         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2149         for isn't loaded.
2150
2151 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2152
2153         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2154
2155 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2156
2157         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2158         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2159         applied to the module itself.
2160
2161 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2162
2163         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2164
2165         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2166         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2167
2168 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2169
2170         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2171
2172 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2173
2174         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2175
2176 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2177
2178         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2179         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2180
2181 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2182
2183         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2184         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2185         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2186         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2187         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2188         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2189         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2190
2191 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2192
2193         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2194         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2195
2196 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2197
2198         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2199         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2200         static libraries.
2201
2202 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2203
2204         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2205
2206 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2207
2208         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2209
2210 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2211
2212         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2213         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2214         adapt to the new hooks.
2215
2216 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2217
2218         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2219         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2220         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2221         code.
2222         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2223         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2224
2225         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2226         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2227         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2228         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2229         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2230         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2231         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2232         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2233         first to register linked modules.
2234
2235         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2236         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2237         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2238
2239         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2240         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2241         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2242         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2243
2244         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2245         to use from C:
2246         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2247         libguile/feature.c.
2248
2249         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2250         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2251         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2252
2253 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2254
2255         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2256         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2257         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2258
2259 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2260
2261         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2262         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2263         result of the last form.
2264
2265 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2266
2267         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2268         syncase.scm.
2269
2270         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2271
2272         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2273         readline-set!: New options interface.
2274
2275         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2276
2277 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2278
2279         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2280         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2281
2282 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2283
2284         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2285         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2286
2287 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2288
2289         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2290         interactive session.
2291         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2292
2293         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2294         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2295
2296 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2297
2298         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2299
2300 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2301
2302         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2303         read line was empty.
2304
2305 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2306
2307         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2308         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2309
2310         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2311
2312         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2313         problem.  Duh.
2314         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2315         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2316         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2317
2318         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2319         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2320         into...
2321         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2322         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2323         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2324
2325         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2326         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2327         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2328         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2329         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2330         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2331         psyntax.ss.
2332         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2333
2334         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2335         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2336
2337 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2338
2339         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2340         and short vectors #h(...).
2341
2342 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2343
2344         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2345         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2346         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2347
2348 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2349
2350         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2351         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2352         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2353
2354 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2355
2356         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2357         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2358
2359         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2360         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2361         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2362         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2363
2364 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2365
2366         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2367         trace flag.
2368
2369         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2370         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2371         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2372         context with traps enabled.
2373
2374 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2375
2376         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2377         module.
2378         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2379
2380 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2381
2382         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2383         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2384         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2385         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2386         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2387
2388 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2389
2390         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2391         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2392
2393 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2394
2395         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2396
2397 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2398
2399         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2400
2401 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2402
2403         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2404
2405 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2406
2407         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2408         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2409
2410 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2411
2412         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2413         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2414         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2415         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
2416         Archibald.)
2417
2418         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2419         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2420         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2421
2422 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2423
2424         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2425         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2426         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2427         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
2428         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2429         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2430         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2431
2432 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2433
2434         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2435
2436 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2437
2438         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2439         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2440         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
2441         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2442         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2443         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2444
2445 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2446
2447         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2448         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2449         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
2450         Steven G. Johnson.)
2451
2452 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2453
2454         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2455
2456 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2457
2458         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2459
2460 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2461
2462         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2463         be completed.
2464
2465 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2466
2467         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2468
2469 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2470
2471         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2472         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2473
2474 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2475
2476         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2477         similar in use to `use-modules'.
2478         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2479         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2480         transformer.
2481         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2482         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2483
2484 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2485
2486         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2487
2488 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2489
2490         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2491         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2492         completion.
2493
2494         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2495         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2496
2497         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2498         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2499         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2500
2501         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2502
2503 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2504
2505         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2506
2507         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2508         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2509
2510 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2511
2512         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2513
2514 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2515
2516         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
2517         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2518
2519         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2520
2521         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
2522         obsolete.
2523
2524 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2525
2526         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2527         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2528
2529 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2530
2531         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2532
2533 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2534
2535         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
2536         Stachowiak.)
2537
2538 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2539
2540         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2541         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
2542         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2543         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2544         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2545         threads.
2546
2547 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2548
2549         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2550         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2551         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2552
2553 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2554
2555         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2556
2557         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2558         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2559
2560 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2561
2562         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2563         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2564         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2565         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2566         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
2567         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2568         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2569         to go here.
2570
2571 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2572
2573         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2574         is now a fluid.
2575
2576 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2577
2578         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2579         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2580         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
2581         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
2582         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2583         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2584
2585 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2586
2587         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2588         usefully so they will work from a script.
2589
2590 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2591
2592         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2593         neighborhood of the record code.
2594
2595 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2596
2597         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
2598         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2599         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2600         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2601
2602 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2603
2604         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2605         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2606         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2607
2608 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2609
2610         Add support for readline function.
2611         * readline.scm: New module.
2612         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2613         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2614         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2615         anything.
2616         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2617         repl-reader to use them.
2618         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2619
2620         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2621
2622 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2623
2624         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2625         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2626
2627 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2628
2629         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2630         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2631         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2632
2633 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2634
2635         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
2636         #f, abort terminates the process.
2637         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2638         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
2639
2640 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2641
2642         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2643         print-state, throw it away.
2644
2645 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2646
2647         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2648         `0'.

2650 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2651
2652         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2653         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2654         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2655         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2656         user field).
2657         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2658         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2659
2660 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2661
2662         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2663
2664 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2665
2666         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2667         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2668         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2669         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2670         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2671         boot-9.scm.
2672         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2673         distribution and installation.
2674         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2677
2678         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
2679
2680 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2681
2682         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2683         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
2684         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2685
2686         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2687         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2688         symbol.
2689
2690 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2699         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2700         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2701         field a separate argument.
2702
2703         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2704
2705 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2706

2708
2709         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

2718
2719         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2720         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2721         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2722         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2723         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
2724         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2725         registered.
2726         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2727         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2728         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2729         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2730         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2731         link a .so-file.

2743
2744         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2745
2746         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2747         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2748         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
2749         expansion inside the slib module.
2750
2751         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

2759         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2760
2761         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2762         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2763         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2764         source.
2765         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2766         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2767         been loaded.
2768
2769 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

2776         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

2778         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
2779         mutator for module-associated transformer.
2780         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
2781         `scm:eval-transformer'.
2782         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
2783         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
2784         module.
2785         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
2786
2787 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2788
2789         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2790
2791         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2792         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2793         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2794         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2795         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2796
2797         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2798         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2799         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2800         syncase macros.
2801         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2802         the syncase interface.
2803
2804 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2805
2806         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2807         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2808         workings of the current module system).
2809
2810 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2811
2812         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2813         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

2823
2824         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2825         according to the following priorities:
2826         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2827         2. bindings from the-scm-module
2828         3. tcl bindings
2829         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2830         disabling the scheme interpreter.
2831         (new-interpreter): New function.
2832
2833         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2834         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2835         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

2852
2853         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2854         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
2855         source!
2856

2864         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
2865         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2866         in stack-ref).
2867
2868         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2869         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2870         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2871         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2872         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2873         result protocol;

2888
2889         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2890         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2891         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2892
2893         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
2894

2910
2911         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2912         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2913         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2914
2915         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2916         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2917         the top.

2933
2934         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2935         builtin `with-fluids*'.
2936
2937 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2938
2939         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2940         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
2941         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2942
2943 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2949
2950         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
2951         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
2952         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
2953         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
2954         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
2955
2956 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2957
2958         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
2959         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
2960         a default of /.
2961
2962         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
2963
2964 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2965
2966         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
2967         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
2968         notation, instead of #/ notation.

2971         make-regexp.
2972

2974
2975         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2976         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2977         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
2978         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2979         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2980         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2981
2982         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2983         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2984         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2985         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2986
2987 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2988
2989         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2990         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
2991         sending in bug reports.
2992         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2993         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2994         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2995         display a warning if the two are different.
2996         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2997         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2998         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2999
3000 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3001

3003
3004 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3005
3006         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3007         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3008
3009         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3010         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3011         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3012         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3013         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3014         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3015         that's okay.
3016
3017         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
3018         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3019         regexp interface.
3020
3021         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3022         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
3023
3024         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3025         function names.
3026
3027         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3028         fixes.
3029
3030 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3031
3032         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3033         ../configure.in.
3034
3035 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3036
3037         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3038         vtable and not the one of the struct.
3039
3040 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3041
3042         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3043         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3044         to support printing of structures.
3045         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3046         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
3047         commented out printing code.
3048         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3049         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
3050
3051 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3052
3053         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3054
3055 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3056
3057         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3058         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3059         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3060         during call to scm-style-repl.
3061
3062 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3063
3064         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3065         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3066         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3067         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3068         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3069
3070 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3071
3072         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3073         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3074         (ice-9 regex).
3075
3076 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3077
3078         * regex.scm: New file.
3079         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3080         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3081
3082 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3083
3084         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

3092         in 1997.
3093
3094 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3095
3096         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3097         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3098         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3099
3100 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3101
3102         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3103         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3104         here.
3105
3106 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3107
3108         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

3115
3116         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3117         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3118         fixes this too.
3119
3120 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3121
3122         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3123         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3124         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3125
3126 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3127
3128         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3129         the Scheme code like code yet.
3130         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3131
3132 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3133
3134         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3135         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3136         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3137
3138 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3139
3140         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3141         use-modules macro
3142         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3143         can't be found.
3144
3145 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3146
3147         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.

3149 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3150
3151         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3152
3153         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3154         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3155         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3156

3164         no plugins.
3165         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3166         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

3178
3179         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3180         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).

3183
3184         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3185         instead of in libguile.
3186         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.

3200
3201 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3202
3203         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3204         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3205         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3206         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)

3221

3245
3246         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3247
3248 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3249
3250         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3251
3252 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3253
3254         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3255         read gets EOF.
3256         * (exit): alias for quit.
3257
3258 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3259
3260         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to

3262         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3263         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3264         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3265
3266         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3267
3268 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3269
3270         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3271
3272         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3273         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3274
3275         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3276         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3277
3278         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3279         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3280         of handlers.
3281
3282 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3283
3284         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3285
3286         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3287         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3288         Change hooks to use these functions.
3289
3290         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3291         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3292         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3293         the source! :-)
3294         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3295         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3296         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3297         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3298         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3299         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3300         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3301         traced.
3302
3303         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3304         and exit-frame exceptions.
3305
3306         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3307         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3308         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3309         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3310         result; otherwise display "> ".
3311         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3312
3313         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3314         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3315         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3316         repository version runnable.
3317
3318 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3319
3320         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3321         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3322         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3323         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3324         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3325         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3326
3327 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3328
3329         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3330         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3331         and eval.
3332         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3333         "defined?".
3334         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3335         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3336
3337 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3338
3339         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3340
3341 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3342
3343         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3344         %read-sharp layer.
3345
3346 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3347
3348         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3349         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3350
3351 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3352
3353         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3354         backtrace.c.)
3355
3356 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3357
3358         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3359         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3360
3361 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3362
3363         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3364
3365         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3366         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3367         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3368         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3369         dynamic linking of modules.
3370         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3371         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3372
3373 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3374
3375         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3376
3377 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3378
3379         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3380         that's what it is.
3381
3382         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3383         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3384         was false.
3385
3386 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3387
3388         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3389         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3390         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3391
3392 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3393
3394         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3395         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
3396         yet.
3397
3398 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3399
3400         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3401         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3402         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3403
3404 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3405
3406         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3407         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3408         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3409         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3410
3411         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3412         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3413         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3414         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3415         (such as the-scm-module).
3416
3417 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3418
3419         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3420         %search-load-path.
3421
3422 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
3423
3424         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3425         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3426         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3427
3428 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3429
3430         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3431         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3432         function, use it accordingly.
3433
3434 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3435
3436         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
3437         function of no arguments.
3438         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3439         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3440         set-current-module): Uses changed.
3441         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3442         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3443         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3444         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3445         *top-level-eval-closure*.
3446
3447 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3448
3449         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3450         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3451
3452 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3453
3454         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3455         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3456         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
3457         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
3458         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3459
3460         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3461         `*features*'.
3462
3463         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3464         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
3465         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3466         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3467
3468         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3469
3470         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3471
3472         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3473         If the user wants to see this, he can do
3474         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3475
3476         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3477         error.
3478
3479         Added `before-read-hook'.
3480
3481         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3482
3483         (provide): New function.
3484
3485         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3486         in backtraces.
3487
3488         (backtrace): New function.
3489
3490         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3491         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3492         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
3493         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3494         is found in operator position in a frame.
3495
3496         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3497         by default.
3498
3499         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3500         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3501         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3502
3503         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
3504
3505         (library-vicinity): Updated.
3506
3507         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3508
3509         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3510
3511 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3512
3513         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3514
3515         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3516         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
3517
3518         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3519         so they'll get distributed.
3520
3521         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
3522         should see as little clutter as possible.
3523         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3524         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3525         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3526
3527         * r4rs.scm: New file.
3528         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3529         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3530         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3531         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3532         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3533         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3534         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3535         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3536         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3537         that are not.
3538         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3539         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3540
3541         * test.scm: New file.
3542
3543         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3544         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
3545         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3546
3547         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3548         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3549
3550         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3551         work now.
3552         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
3553         call %load-announce.
3554
3555 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3556
3557         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3558         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3559         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3560         components.
3561         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3562
3563 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3564
3565         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3566         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3567         SCSH (which this isn't).
3568
3569 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3570
3571         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3572
3573 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3574
3575         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3576         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3577         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3578         these.
3579         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
3580         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
3581         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3582         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3583         save-stack.
3584
3585 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3586
3587         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3588
3589         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3590
3591         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3592         error-catching-loop.
3593         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3594         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3595         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3596
3597         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3598         error-catching-loop.
3599
3600 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3601
3602         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3603         (make-module): Rework for readability.
3604         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3605         should be '(), not #f.
3606
3607         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3608         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.

3611
3612         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3613         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3614         error-signal.
3615
3616 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3617
3618         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3619         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3620         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3621         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3622
3623 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3624
3625         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3626
3627 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3628
3629         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3630
3631         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3632         throw-handler-default.
3633         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3634         reported.
3635         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3636         acro.
3637         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3638         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3639
3640 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3641
3642         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3643         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3644         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3645         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3646

3648
3649         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3650         Append "." to the default %load-path.
3651         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3652         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3653         ...))
3654         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3655         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3656         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3657         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3658         file-is-directory?
3659
3660 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3661
3662         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3663
3664         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3665         distribution.
3666
3667         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3668         `switch-repl'.
3669
3670         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3671
3672 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3673
3674         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3675         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3676
3677 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3678
3679         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3680
3681         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3682
3683 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3684
3685         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
3686         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3687         Don't set up 'error as a key.
3688         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3689         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3690
3691         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3692         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3693         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3694         they seem redundant.
3695         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3696         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
3697         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3698         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
3699         directly files starting with "/").
3700         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3701         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3702
3703         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3704
3705 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3706
3707         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3708         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3709         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
3710         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3711         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3712         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3713         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
3714         robust to just do it in the C code.
3715
3716 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3717
3718         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
3719         %try-load itself was the primitive.
3720         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3721         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3722         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3723
3724 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3725
3726         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3727         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3728         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3729
3730 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3731
3732         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3733         system-error, not every kind of error.
3734         (scm-error): new procedure.
3735
3736 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3737
3738         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3739
3740 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3741
3742         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3743         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
3744         of args are supplied.
3745         (%%system-errors): removed.
3746         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3747         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3748         %%handle-system-error.
3749         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3750         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3751         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3752         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3753
3754 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3755
3756         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3757         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3758         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3759         %S (embed an argument using "write").
3760
3761 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3762
3763         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3764         the empty list if they are #f.
3765         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3766
3767 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3768
3769         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3770
3771         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3772         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3773         aborting, just the key and subr.
3774         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3775         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3776         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
3777
3778 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3779
3780         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3781         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
3782         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3783         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3784         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
3785
3786 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3787
3788         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
3789         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
3790         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
3791         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
3792
3793 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3794
3795         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
3796         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
3797         initialize %load-path.
3798
3799         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3800         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
3801
3802 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3803
3804         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3805         Add the directory named after the version number.
3806         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
3807         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
3808         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
3809         sitedatadir): New definitions.

3816
3817         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3818         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3819         in the Makefile directly.
3820         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3821         for these.
3822         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
3823         aux_files.

3825         here, where people expect to find them.

3830         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
3831
3832         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
3833
3834 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3835
3836         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->

3854         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
3855         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

3859         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
3860         (manifest): Deleted.
3861         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

3863
3864 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3865
3866         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
3867         now that they throw errors directly.

3869         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
3870
