22 * occam-channel.scm (alt): New syntax.
24 * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Removed. Guile now provides this

31 source. (Guile uses this internally.)
33 2003-01-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
35 * psyntax.ss (build-data): Don't quote self-evaluating expressions
36 in output. (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be
37 quoted, but until Guile's native macros and syncase cooperates
38 better, it is less destructive not to quote.)
39 (self-evaluating?): Removed null? (In Guile, the empty list is not
41 (sc-chi): Export chi as sc-chi.
42 (external-macro): New syntax type.

55 identifier-syntax let-syntax letrec-syntax syntax syntax-case

99 GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
101 * debugger/Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION ->
102 GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
104 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION -> GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
106 2002-12-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>

124 * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
126 (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
129 * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
130 until Guile supports hygienic macros.
132 2002-11-17 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
134 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
135 has been removed from the core.
137 2002-11-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
139 * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
140 identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
141 syntax-rules, with-syntax, include): Changed definitions to form
142 'real' macro definitions.
144 2002-11-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
146 * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):

152 Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
154 2002-11-07 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
156 * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly. Not the definition
157 needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.
159 2002-11-05 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
161 * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"

181 it is not thread-safe.
183 2002-10-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
185 * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'. This
186 value will be returned by join-thread.
188 2002-10-26 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
190 Merging debugger enhancements previously in separate
191 `guile-debugger' package ...
193 * debugger.scm: Factored out into the following constituent parts
194 - see comment in file for more details.
195 (*not-yet-introduced*): New (avoids repeatedly introducing the
196 debugger when entering it from breakpoints).

229 should be unnecessary now.
231 2002-10-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
233 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
234 guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of

339 Thanks to Christopher Cramer.
341 2002-02-24 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
343 * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
344 properties. This is in preparation for changing the future public
345 gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
347 * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.
349 2002-02-07 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@giblet.glug.org>

359 2002-01-14 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
361 * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
362 datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
363 syntax-object, is an identifier. This was a unconvenient and
364 unnecessary restriction. Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
366 2002-01-12 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
368 More options for pretty-print. Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
370 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
371 (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
372 used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
374 2001-11-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
376 * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have

399 syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
400 `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
401 into the `define-module' form. This is the recommended way of

406 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
409 2001-10-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
411 * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
412 of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
413 the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
414 interfering with parsing of numbers.)
416 2001-10-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
418 * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
419 %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,

441 the `arglist' procedure property.
442 * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to

475 needed to trick export.
477 2001-08-31 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
479 * optargs.scm: Remove #& reader extension.
481 2001-08-31 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

487 2001-08-30 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
489 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
490 interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
491 not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
493 2001-08-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
495 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
496 interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
498 2001-08-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
500 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".
502 2001-08-12 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
504 * getopt-long.scm: Rewrite.
508 2001-08-02 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
510 * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
511 last-command fluid is not yet set.
513 2001-08-02 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
515 * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
517 (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
518 value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
519 next element is to be taken as the option arg.
521 2001-07-31 Keisuke Nishida <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
523 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
524 handle :use-syntax correctly.
526 2001-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
528 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
531 2001-07-23 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
533 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
534 maintainer mode. Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.

536 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
537 * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
539 2001-07-18 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

545 2001-07-17 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

548 primitives. Thanks Neil!
550 2001-07-13 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
552 * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
553 re-exported core bindings. Do not re-export `numerator',
554 `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
555 Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
557 * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
558 core bindings. Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
559 since there aren't definitions for them.
561 * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
562 argument is "renamer" not "rename".
564 2001-07-09 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
566 * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
567 is #f. Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
569 2001-07-06 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

572 extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
574 2001-06-30 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
576 * arrays.scm: Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b': #b
577 is already defined by R5RS. Further, there is already a working
578 read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
580 2001-06-30 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
582 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
584 * tags.scm: Removed file.
586 2001-06-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

589 is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
591 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
592 whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.

596 2001-06-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
598 * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
599 was a cut-n-paste error previously.
601 2001-06-26 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
603 * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
604 Don't reset trace-level to 0.

649 `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
650 rdelim) module. See below.
652 2001-06-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
654 * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
655 include-deprecated-features is true.

659 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
662 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
663 real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
664 Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
666 * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
667 (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
668 `port', if it has one. Else leave it alone. Thanks to Matthias
671 2001-06-05 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
673 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
674 `module-ensure-variable!'. Make sure that there really is a local
675 variable, not just a visible one.
676 (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
677 (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
678 enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable. When
679 deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
680 creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
681 (module-re-export!): New. Use this for re-exporting imported
683 (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
685 * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
686 re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
688 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
690 * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
691 instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
693 2001-06-04 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>

697 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
699 Added exception notice to all files.
701 * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change. It
702 caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
703 importing bindings once in a while.
705 2001-06-03 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
707 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
708 and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.

713 try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
714 try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated. Activate deprecation
716 (define-public): Define binding before exporting it. This is to
717 avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.

725 to access unbound variables.
727 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
728 (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
729 export. Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
730 the value over, and export the new variable. This confused
731 syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
733 2001-06-01 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
735 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
736 When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules. Add
737 them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
738 (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
739 (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
740 (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
741 argument for process-define-module.
742 (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
743 arguments for process-use-modules.
744 (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.

754 * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
755 (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
757 * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.

787 * match.scm: Likewise.
788 * expect.scm: Likewise.
789 * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
791 * rdelim.scm: Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
793 * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
795 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
797 (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
798 (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
799 load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here. Do it on
800 top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
801 (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
802 element list when adding "." to it.
803 (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
804 dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
806 2001-05-18 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
808 * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
810 (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
811 now accepts arg; update callers.
812 Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
813 consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
815 * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
816 Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
817 Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
818 (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
819 `search-documentation-files'.
820 (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
821 instead of `(lambda (x) x)'. "An identity edit", ha ha.
822 (help-usage): Mention support for "(help 'NAME)".
824 * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
825 Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.
827 (find-documentation): Delete.

833 * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
834 so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.

848 * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
850 (apropos-fold): Likewise.
852 * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed. We should not play games with

861 `pre-modules-obarray'. Do not use a lazy binder.
862 (scm-module-closure): Removed.
863 (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
864 `pre-modules-obarray'. Do not use a lazy binder. Set the
865 eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.

867 `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
868 (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
869 towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
870 set-current-module that boots the module system. These
871 definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
872 `set-current-module' call.
873 (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
874 set-current-module. It is redefined later.

914 (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
915 which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
916 (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use

1178 restrict the use of these forms to the top level.
1179 (define-public, defmacro-public): Only export binding when on
1181 (process-define-module): Call `set-current-module' with the
1183 (define-module): Simply call `process-define-module' without any
1184 fuss (but only on top-level).
1185 (named-module-use!): New function.
1186 (top-repl): Do not use `define-module'. Use equivalent low-level
1189 2001-02-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1191 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Use `primitive-eval' instead of
1193 (define-public): Do not use `eval'.
1195 2001-02-08 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
1197 * and-let-star-compat.scm: Display the warning to the
1198 `current-error-port'.
1200 2001-02-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1202 Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
1205 * and-let-star.scm, and-let*.scm: Renamed `and-let*.scm' to
1206 `and-let-star.scm'. Updated module name as well.
1207 * and-let-star-compat.scm: New file, installed as `and-let*.scm'.
1208 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced "and-let*.scm" with
1210 (install-data-local): Install "and-let-star-compat.scm" as
1211 "and-let*.scm", ignoring errors.
1212 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute `and-let-star-compat.scm'.
1214 2001-01-26 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1216 This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
1217 the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
1219 * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): New macro. Allows to
1220 conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
1222 (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
1223 readline-set!): Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
1225 2001-01-24 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1227 * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here. it's done
1229 * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
1230 * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
1232 2001-01-21 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1234 * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
1235 * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
1236 read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
1237 scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
1238 * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
1240 * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
1241 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
1243 2000-12-29 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1245 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
1246 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
1247 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1248 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1249 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1250 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1251 for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
1253 2000-12-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1255 * session.scm (apropos): Completed the last patch, which did only
1256 half the job. Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
1258 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1260 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): There are no weak bindings
1263 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1265 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
1268 2000-12-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1270 * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
1272 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1274 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
1275 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
1276 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
1277 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
1278 split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
1279 split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
1280 split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1281 split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
1282 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
1283 string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
1284 sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
1285 sans-final-newline): Use substring instead of
1286 make-shared-substring.
1288 2000-11-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1290 * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1291 removed. values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1292 the other two were only exported by accident. don't define
1293 *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1296 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1298 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
1299 and open-output-pipe.
1301 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1303 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1304 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1305 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
1306 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
1307 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1308 Pirotte for the bug report).
1309 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1310 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
1312 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1314 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.
1315 Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.
1317 2000-10-15 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1319 * optargs.scm: Fix typos in commentary for bound? and lambda*.
1321 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1323 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): regexp-exec does not
1324 accept symbol arguments any more. Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
1327 2000-09-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1329 * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f. thanks to
1332 2000-09-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1334 * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1335 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1336 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1338 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1339 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1340 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1341 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1342 actual documentation entries themselves.
1344 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1346 * boot-9.scm: Removed comment. (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
1348 2000-09-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1350 * syncase.scm (putprop): Use the high-level property interface.
1352 2000-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1354 * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
1355 Convert first argument to a string.
1357 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
1358 getter-and-setter-syntax,
1359 delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
1360 argument. (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
1362 * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
1364 * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
1366 2000-08-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1368 * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
1370 2000-08-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1372 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
1374 (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1376 (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed. I don't
1377 think I'll announce this in NEWS even. One of the functions never
1378 even worked... /mdj.
1379 (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1381 (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1384 2000-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1386 * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
1389 2000-08-19 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1391 * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
1392 #:allow-other-keys. Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
1394 2000-08-17 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1396 * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.
1398 2000-08-16 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1400 * optargs.scm: Replaced `#&' reader syntax with keywords.
1402 2000-08-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1404 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive. (Thanks to
1407 2000-08-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1409 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1410 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
1411 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1412 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1413 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1415 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1417 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1419 * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition. (Is now
1420 provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1422 * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1425 * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1426 record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1427 (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto. (This is actually a bugfix!)
1428 (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1430 * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
1432 * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
1433 (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
1435 * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
1437 * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1438 (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1440 2000-08-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1442 * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1443 definition of module-type.
1445 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1447 * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1449 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1451 (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1452 *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1454 2000-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1456 * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to thi!
1458 2000-07-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1460 * boot-9.scm (expt): In case of negative integer exponents return
1461 an exact result if the input paramters were exact. Thanks to
1462 Mikael for the suggestion.
1464 2000-07-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1466 * boot-9.scm (expt): Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1467 if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1469 2000-07-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1471 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1474 2000-06-27 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1476 * popen.scm: gc-thunk is deprecated. Use after-gc-hook instead.
1478 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1480 * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1481 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber
1484 (delete-if!, delete-if-not!): Renamed parameter from `list' to
1485 `l' in order to avoid confusion. Note: These functions are not
1488 2000-06-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1490 * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1491 and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1493 * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1494 (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1495 (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1497 (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1499 * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1501 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1503 * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1504 module graph. (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1506 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1508 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1509 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1511 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1513 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
1514 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1516 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1518 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1520 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1522 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1524 2000-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1526 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1528 (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1529 (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1531 (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1533 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1536 * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1537 (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1538 (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1539 (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1542 * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1544 * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1546 2000-06-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1548 * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1549 (write-all): Removed.
1550 (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'. Return
1551 documentation string instead of printing it. Not exported.
1553 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
1555 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1556 `proc-documentation'
1558 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
1559 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1560 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1561 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1562 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1563 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1564 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1567 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1569 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
1571 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1573 * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1574 anonymous. Now needed in modules.c.
1575 (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1578 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1580 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
1581 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1582 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
1583 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
1584 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1585 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1586 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1588 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1590 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
1591 accept complex numbers as parameter.
1593 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1595 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1596 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
1598 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1600 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1601 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1602 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1603 instead of remove-if when iterating.
1604 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1605 delete-if! when iterating.
1607 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1609 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1611 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1613 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
1615 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1617 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1618 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
1619 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1620 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1622 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1624 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
1625 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1627 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1629 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
1630 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1631 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
1632 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
1634 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1636 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1637 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1639 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1641 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1642 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1644 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1646 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1649 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1651 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1652 source of the numerous very short changes.
1654 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1656 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1659 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1662 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1664 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1667 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1669 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1670 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1672 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1674 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1677 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1679 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1680 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
1681 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1683 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1685 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1686 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1687 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
1688 Narazaki for this change.
1690 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1692 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1693 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1696 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1697 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1699 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1701 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1702 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1704 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1706 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1707 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1708 use define-public to export from the module.
1710 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1712 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1713 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1714 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1716 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1718 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1720 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1722 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1723 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1725 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1727 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1729 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1731 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1733 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1735 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1736 long_long uniform vectors.
1738 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1740 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1741 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
1743 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1745 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
1746 script to create generated files like this one.
1748 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1750 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1751 available before using getpw and getuid.
1752 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1753 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1755 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1756 check for .guile, instead of stat.
1757 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1759 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
1760 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1761 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1763 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
1764 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1766 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1768 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

1771 than 'exit-debugger.
1773 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.

1783 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1784 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.

1789 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1791 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1792 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
1795 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1797 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1798 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1800 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1802 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
1804 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
1806 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.

1810 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
1811 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
1813 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
1816 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1818 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1819 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1821 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1823 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1825 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1826 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1827 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1828 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1830 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1833 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1834 both forward and backward views of the stack
1835 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1836 Use selector `frame-number';
1837 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1838 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1840 Use readline conditionally.
1842 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1844 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1845 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1846 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1848 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1849 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
1852 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1854 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1856 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1858 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1860 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1862 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1864 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1865 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
1866 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
1867 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1868 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1869 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1870 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1871 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1872 libguile-config-stamp.
1873 * version.scm.in: Delete.
1874 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1875 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1876 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1877 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1879 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1881 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1882 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1883 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1885 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1886 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1887 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1888 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
1891 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1893 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1895 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1897 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1899 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1900 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1902 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1904 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1905 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1906 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1907 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1908 objects starting with '#/'.
1910 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1912 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1913 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1914 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1915 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1916 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1917 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1919 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1920 module-modified): New procedures.
1921 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1922 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1924 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1926 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1929 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1931 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1932 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1933 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1935 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1938 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1940 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1941 at multiple calls to read.
1942 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1943 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1944 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1945 continued-lines prompt.
1947 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1948 reading expressions.
1950 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1952 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1953 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1955 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1957 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1958 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
1961 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1963 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1964 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1966 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1967 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
1968 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1969 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1970 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1973 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1975 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1976 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1978 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1980 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
1981 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
1982 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1983 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1985 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1987 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1989 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
1990 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1991 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
1994 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1996 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1997 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
1998 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1999 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
2000 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
2001 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2002 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
2003 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
2004 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
2005 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2006 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
2008 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2010 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
2011 peeked from the stream.
2012 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
2013 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
2014 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
2016 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2018 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
2019 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
2021 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2023 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2024 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
2025 exiting repl with single control-D.
2027 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2029 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2030 error catching loop after quit received.
2031 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2033 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2034 primitive exit if non-interactive.
2035 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2037 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2038 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2040 * popen.scm: new file.
2042 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2044 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
2045 (reverse-iota): removed.
2047 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2049 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
2050 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
2052 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2054 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2055 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2056 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2057 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2058 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2060 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2062 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2064 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2065 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2067 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2068 Guile's module system.
2070 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2072 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2073 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2074 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2075 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
2076 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2077 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2079 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2080 '() when the condition is false.
2082 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2084 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2086 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2088 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2090 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2092 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2093 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2094 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2096 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2098 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2099 argument order for hash-fold.
2101 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2103 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
2105 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2106 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2108 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2109 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2110 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2111 has been added to the load path).
2113 Use try-load-module.
2115 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2117 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
2118 module between system and user state.
2120 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2122 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2124 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2127 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2129 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2130 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2131 system can create a wrapper class for it.
2133 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2135 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2136 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
2137 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2138 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2139 stack frame encountered.
2141 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2142 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2143 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2144 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2147 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2148 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2149 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2150 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
2153 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2154 define-module switches:
2156 (define-module (foo)
2159 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2162 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2163 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2164 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
2165 module it is a system frame.
2167 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2168 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2169 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2170 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
2171 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2173 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2174 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
2175 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2176 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2177 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
2178 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2180 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2181 status of a module.;
2182 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2183 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2185 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2186 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2187 closure to the module.
2189 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2191 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2193 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
2195 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2197 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
2199 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2201 Fix from Russ McManus:
2202 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2203 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2204 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2205 either an optional or required value.
2207 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2209 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2211 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2212 of the '() key, not `rest'.
2214 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2215 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2216 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2217 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2219 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2221 * optargs.scm: New file.
2222 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2223 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2225 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2227 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.

2233 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2234 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2237 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2239 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2241 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2243 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2244 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2245 applied to the module itself.
2247 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2249 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2251 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
2252 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2254 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2256 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2258 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2260 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2262 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
2264 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2265 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2267 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2269 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2270 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2271 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2272 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2273 among BINDINGS is referenced.
2274 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
2275 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2277 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2279 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2280 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2282 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
2284 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2285 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2288 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2290 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2292 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2294 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2296 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2298 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2299 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2300 adapt to the new hooks.
2302 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2304 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2305 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
2306 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2308 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2309 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2311 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2312 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2313 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2314 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2315 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2316 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2317 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2318 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2319 first to register linked modules.
2321 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2322 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2323 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2325 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2326 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2327 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2328 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2330 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2332 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2335 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2336 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2337 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2339 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2341 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2342 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2343 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2345 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2347 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
2348 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2349 result of the last form.
2351 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2353 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2356 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2358 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2359 readline-set!: New options interface.
2361 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2363 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2365 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2366 at the end of boot-9.scm.
2368 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2370 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2371 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2373 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2375 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2376 interactive session.
2377 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2379 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2380 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2382 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2384 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2386 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2388 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2389 read line was empty.
2391 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2393 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2394 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2396 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2398 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2400 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2401 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2402 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2404 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2405 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2407 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2408 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2409 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2411 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2412 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2413 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
2414 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2415 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2416 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2418 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2420 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2421 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2423 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2425 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2426 and short vectors #h(...).
2428 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2430 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2431 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2432 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2434 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2436 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2437 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
2438 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2440 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2442 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2443 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2445 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2446 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
2447 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
2448 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2450 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2452 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2455 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2456 order to allow the empty list as arg.
2457 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2458 context with traps enabled.
2460 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2462 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2464 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2466 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2468 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2469 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2470 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
2471 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2472 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2474 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2476 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2477 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2479 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2481 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2483 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2485 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2487 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2489 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2491 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2493 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2494 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2496 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2498 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2499 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2500 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2501 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
2504 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2505 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2506 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2508 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2510 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2511 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2512 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2513 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
2514 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2515 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2516 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2518 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2520 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2522 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2524 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2525 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2526 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
2527 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2528 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2529 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2531 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2533 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2534 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2535 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
2538 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2540 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2542 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2544 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2546 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2548 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2551 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2553 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2555 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2557 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2558 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2560 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2562 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2563 similar in use to `use-modules'.
2564 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2565 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2567 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2568 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2570 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2572 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2574 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2576 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2577 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2580 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2581 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2583 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2584 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2585 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2587 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2589 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2591 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2593 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2594 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2596 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2598 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2600 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2602 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
2603 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2605 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2607 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
2610 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2612 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2613 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2615 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2617 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2619 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2621 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
2624 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2626 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2627 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
2628 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2629 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2630 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2633 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2635 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2636 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2637 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2639 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2641 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2643 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2644 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2646 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2648 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2649 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2650 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2651 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2652 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
2653 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2654 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2657 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2659 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2662 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2664 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2665 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2666 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
2667 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
2668 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2669 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2671 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2673 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2674 usefully so they will work from a script.
2676 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2678 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2679 neighborhood of the record code.
2681 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2683 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
2684 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2685 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2686 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2688 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2690 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2691 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2692 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2694 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2696 Add support for readline function.
2697 * readline.scm: New module.
2698 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2699 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2700 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2702 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2703 repl-reader to use them.
2704 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2706 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2708 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2710 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2711 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2713 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2715 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2716 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2717 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2719 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2721 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
2722 #f, abort terminates the process.
2723 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2724 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
2726 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2728 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2729 print-state, throw it away.
2731 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2733 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2736 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2738 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2739 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2740 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2741 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2743 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2744 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2746 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2748 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2750 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2752 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2753 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2754 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2755 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2756 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2758 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2759 distribution and installation.
2760 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2762 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2764 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
2766 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2768 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2769 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
2770 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2772 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2773 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2776 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2778 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.

2785 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2786 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2787 field a separate argument.
2789 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2791 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>

2806 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2807 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2808 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2809 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
2810 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2812 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2813 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2814 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2815 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2816 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2819 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2821 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

2830 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2832 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2833 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2834 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
2835 expansion inside the slib module.
2837 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
2839 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.

2847 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2848 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2849 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2851 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2852 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2855 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
2857 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.

2875 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2877 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2878 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2879 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2880 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2881 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2883 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2884 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2885 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2887 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2888 the syncase interface.
2890 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2892 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2893 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2894 workings of the current module system).
2896 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2898 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2899 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

2908 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2910 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2911 according to the following priorities:
2912 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2913 2. bindings from the-scm-module
2915 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2916 disabling the scheme interpreter.
2917 (new-interpreter): New function.
2919 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2920 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2921 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
2923 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2925 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2927 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

2939 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2940 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the

2945 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
2946 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

2951 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2954 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when

2958 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2960 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
2961 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
2963 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2965 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
2966 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
2968 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
2969 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
2971 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
2973 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2975 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2976 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2977 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.

2981 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

2995 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2997 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2998 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2999 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
3001 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
3002 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
3005 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
3006 order to narrow it correctly.
3007 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

3020 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
3021 builtin `with-fluids*'.
3023 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3025 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3026 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
3027 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
3029 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3031 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
3034 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

3061 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3062 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3063 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
3064 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3065 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3066 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3068 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3069 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3070 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3071 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3073 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3075 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3076 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
3077 sending in bug reports.
3078 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3079 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3080 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3081 display a warning if the two are different.
3082 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3083 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3084 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

3092 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3093 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3095 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3096 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3097 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3098 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3099 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3100 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3103 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
3104 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3107 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3108 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
3110 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3113 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3116 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

3121 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3123 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3124 vtable and not the one of the struct.
3126 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3128 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3129 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3130 to support printing of structures.
3131 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3132 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
3133 commented out printing code.
3134 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3135 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".

3144 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3145 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3146 during call to scm-style-repl.
3148 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3150 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3151 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3152 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3153 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
3154 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
3156 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3158 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3159 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3162 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3164 * regex.scm: New file.
3165 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.

3171 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
3172 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
3173 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
3175 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3177 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
3180 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3182 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3183 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
3184 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3186 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3188 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3189 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3192 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3194 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

3198 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3200 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3202 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3203 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3206 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3208 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3209 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3210 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
3212 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3214 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3215 the Scheme code like code yet.
3216 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3218 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3220 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3221 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
3222 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3224 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3226 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3228 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules

3233 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3235 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3237 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3239 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3240 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3241 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3243 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3245 Get 'make dist' to work again.
3246 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3247 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
3249 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,

3270 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3271 instead of in libguile.
3272 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3273 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3275 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3277 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3279 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3280 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3282 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3284 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3285 sockaddr:port): new functions.
3287 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3289 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3290 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3291 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3292 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3294 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3296 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3297 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3299 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3301 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3303 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3305 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3306 keywords and symbols.
3308 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3310 * slib.scm: update read usage.
3312 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3313 Don't define read-sharp.
3315 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3316 (read-sharp): removed.
3317 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3318 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3320 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3322 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3324 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
3325 primitive procedure.)
3327 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3328 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3330 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3332 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3334 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3336 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3338 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3340 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3342 * (exit): alias for quit.
3344 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3346 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3347 return the quit args.
3348 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3349 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
3350 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3352 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3354 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3356 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3358 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3359 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3361 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3362 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3364 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3365 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3368 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3370 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3372 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3373 (add-hooks!): New macro.
3374 Change hooks to use these functions.
3376 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
3377 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3378 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3380 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3381 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3382 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3383 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
3384 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3385 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3386 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3389 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3390 and exit-frame exceptions.
3392 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3393 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3394 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3395 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3396 result; otherwise display "> ".
3397 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3399 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3400 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3401 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
3402 repository version runnable.
3404 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3406 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3407 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
3408 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3409 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3410 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3411 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3413 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3415 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3416 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3418 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3420 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3421 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
3423 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3425 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3427 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3429 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3432 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3434 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3435 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3437 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3439 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
3442 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3444 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3445 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3447 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3449 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3451 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3452 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3453 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3454 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3455 dynamic linking of modules.
3456 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3457 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3459 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3461 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3463 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3465 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3468 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3469 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
3472 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3474 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3475 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3476 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3478 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3480 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3481 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
3484 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3486 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3487 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3488 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3490 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3492 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3493 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3494 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3495 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3497 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3498 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3499 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3500 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3501 (such as the-scm-module).
3503 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3505 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3508 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
3510 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3511 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3512 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3514 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3516 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3517 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3518 function, use it accordingly.
3520 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3522 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
3523 function of no arguments.
3524 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3525 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3526 set-current-module): Uses changed.
3527 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3528 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3529 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3530 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3531 *top-level-eval-closure*.
3533 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3535 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3536 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3538 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3540 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3541 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3542 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
3543 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
3544 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3546 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3549 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3550 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
3551 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3552 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3554 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3556 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3558 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3559 If the user wants to see this, he can do
3560 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3562 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3565 Added `before-read-hook'.
3567 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3569 (provide): New function.
3571 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3574 (backtrace): New function.
3576 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3577 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3578 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
3579 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3580 is found in operator position in a frame.
3582 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3585 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3586 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3587 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3589 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
3591 (library-vicinity): Updated.
3593 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3595 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3597 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3599 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3601 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3602 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
3604 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3605 so they'll get distributed.
3607 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
3608 should see as little clutter as possible.
3609 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3610 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3611 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3613 * r4rs.scm: New file.
3614 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3615 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3616 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3617 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3618 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3619 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3620 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3621 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3622 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3624 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3625 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3627 * test.scm: New file.
3629 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3630 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
3631 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3633 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3634 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3636 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3638 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
3639 call %load-announce.
3641 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3643 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3644 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3645 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3647 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3649 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3651 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3652 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3653 SCSH (which this isn't).
3655 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3657 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3659 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3661 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3662 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3663 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3665 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
3666 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
3667 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3668 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3671 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3673 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3675 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3677 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3678 error-catching-loop.
3679 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3680 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3681 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3683 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3684 error-catching-loop.
3686 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3688 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3689 (make-module): Rework for readability.
3690 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3691 should be '(), not #f.
3693 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3694 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3696 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3698 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3699 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3702 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3704 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3705 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3706 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3707 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3709 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3711 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3713 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3715 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3717 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3718 throw-handler-default.
3719 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3721 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3723 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3724 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3726 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3728 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3729 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3730 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3731 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3733 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3735 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3736 Append "." to the default %load-path.
3737 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3738 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3740 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3741 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3742 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3743 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3746 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3748 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3750 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3753 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3756 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3758 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3760 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3761 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3763 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3765 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3767 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3769 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3771 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
3772 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3773 Don't set up 'error as a key.
3774 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3775 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3777 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3778 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3779 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3780 they seem redundant.
3781 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3782 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
3783 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3784 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
3785 directly files starting with "/").
3786 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3787 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3789 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3791 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3793 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3794 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3795 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
3796 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3797 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3798 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3799 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
3800 robust to just do it in the C code.
3802 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3804 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
3805 %try-load itself was the primitive.

3807 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3808 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3810 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3812 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3813 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3814 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3816 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3818 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3819 system-error, not every kind of error.
3820 (scm-error): new procedure.

3842 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3843 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3844 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3845 %S (embed an argument using "write").
3847 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3849 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3850 the empty list if they are #f.
3851 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3853 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3855 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3857 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.

3862 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
3864 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3866 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3867 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
3868 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3869 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3870 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
3872 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3874 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
3875 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
3876 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
3877 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
3879 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3881 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
3882 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
3883 initialize %load-path.
3885 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3886 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
3888 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3890 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3891 Add the directory named after the version number.
3892 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.

3903 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3904 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3905 in the Makefile directly.
3906 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3908 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
3910 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
3911 here, where people expect to find them.
3913 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3915 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
3916 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
3918 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
3920 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3922 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
3923 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
3925 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>

3936 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
3937 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).

3939 (%open-file): removed.
3940 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
3941 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

3945 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
3946 (manifest): Deleted.
3947 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
3948 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
3950 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3952 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
