   2
   3         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
   4         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.

  13
  14         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
  15         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
  16         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!

  46
  47         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh

  49
  50 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>

  60         available.

  63         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
  64
  65         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
  66         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
  67
  68         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
  69
  70 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  71
  72         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws

  90
  91 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

  95         Badros.)
  96
  97 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  98
  99         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 100         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.

 103
 104         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

 119
 120         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of

 124
 125 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 126
 127         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 128         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 129         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 130         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 131
 132         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 133         argument.
 134
 135         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 136         both forward and backward views of the stack
 137         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 138         Use selector `frame-number';
 139         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 140         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 141         Use (ice-9 debug).
 142         Use readline conditionally.
 143
 144 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 145
 146         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 147         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 148         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 149
 150         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 151         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 152         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 153
 154 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 155
 156         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 157
 158         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 159
 160         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 161
 162         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 163
 164 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 165
 166         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 167         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 168         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 169         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 170         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 171         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 172         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 173         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 174         libguile-config-stamp.
 175         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 176         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 177         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 178         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 179         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 180
 181 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 182
 183         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 184         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 185         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 186
 187         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 188         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 189         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 190         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 191         readline.
 192
 193         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 194
 195 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 196
 197         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 198
 199 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 200
 201         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 202         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 203
 204 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 205
 206         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 207         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 208         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 209         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 210         objects starting with '#/'.
 211
 212 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 213
 214         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 215         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 216         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 217         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 218         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 219         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 220         `observer-id'.
 221         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 222         module-modified): New procedures.
 223         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 224         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 225
 226 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 227
 228         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 229         defines.
 230
 231 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 232
 233         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 234         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 235         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 236
 237         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 238         position.
 239
 240 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 241
 242         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 243         at multiple calls to read.
 244         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 245         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 246         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 247         continued-lines prompt.
 248
 249         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 250         reading expressions.
 251
 252 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 253
 254         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 255         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 256
 257 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 258
 259         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 260         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 261         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 262
 263         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 264
 265         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 266         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 267
 268         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 269         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 270         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 271         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 272         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 273         instead of a port.
 274
 275 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 276
 277         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 278         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 279
 280         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 281
 282         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 283         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 284         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 285         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 286
 287         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 288
 289         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 290
 291         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 292         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 293         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 294         an alist.
 295
 296         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 297
 298         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 299         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 300         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 301         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 302         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 303         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 304         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 305         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 306         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 307         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 308         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 309
 310         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 311
 312         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 313         peeked from the stream.
 314         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 315         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 316         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 317
 318         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 319
 320         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 321         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 322
 323         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 324
 325         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 326         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 327         exiting repl with single control-D.
 328
 329         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 330
 331         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 332         error catching loop after quit received.
 333         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 334
 335         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 336         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 337         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 338
 339         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 340         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 341         boot-9.scm.
 342         * popen.scm: new file.
 343
 344 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 345
 346        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 347        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 348
 349 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 350
 351         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 352         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 353
 354 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 355
 356         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 357         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 358         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 359         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 360         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 361
 362 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 363
 364         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 365
 366         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 367         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 368
 369         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 370         Guile's module system.
 371
 372         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 373         changes:
 374         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 375         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 376         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 377         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 378         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 379         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 380         modern CL behavior.
 381         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 382         '() when the condition is false.
 383
 384 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 385
 386         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 387
 388 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 389
 390         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 391
 392 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 393
 394         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 395         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 396         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 397
 398 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 399
 400         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 401         argument order for hash-fold.
 402
 403 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 404
 405         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 406         resolve-module.
 407         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 408         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 409
 410         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 411         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 412         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 413         has been added to the load path).
 414
 415         Use try-load-module.
 416
 417 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 418
 419         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 420         module between system and user state.
 421
 422 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 423
 424         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 425
 426         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 427         definition.
 428
 429 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 430
 431         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 432         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 433         system can create a wrapper class for it.
 434
 435 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 436
 437         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
 438         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
 439         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
 440         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
 441         stack frame encountered.
 442
 443         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
 444         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
 445         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
 446         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
 447         list).]
 448
 449         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
 450         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
 451         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
 452         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
 453         please tell me!]
 454
 455         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
 456         define-module switches:
 457
 458         (define-module (foo)
 459           :no-backtrace)
 460
 461         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
 462         modules.
 463
 464         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
 465         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
 466         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
 467         module it is a system frame.
 468
 469         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
 470         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
 471         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
 472         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
 473         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
 474
 475         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
 476         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
 477         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
 478         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
 479         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
 480         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
 481
 482         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
 483         status of a module.;
 484         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
 485         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
 486
 487         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
 488         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
 489         closure to the module.
 490
 491         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
 492
 493 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 494
 495         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
 496
 497 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 498
 499         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
 500
 501 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 502
 503         Fix from Russ McManus:
 504         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
 505         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
 506         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
 507         either an optional or required value.
 508
 509 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 510
 511         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
 512
 513         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
 514         of the '() key, not `rest'.
 515
 516         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
 517         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
 518         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
 519         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 520
 521 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 522
 523         * optargs.scm: New file.
 524         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
 525         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
 526
 527 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 528
 529         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
 530         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
 531         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 532
 533 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 534
 535         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
 536         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
 537         for isn't loaded.
 538
 539 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 540
 541         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 542
 543 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 544
 545         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
 546         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
 547         applied to the module itself.
 548
 549 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 550
 551         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
 552
 553         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
 554         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
 555
 556 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 557
 558         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
 559
 560 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 561
 562         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
 563
 564 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 565
 566         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
 567         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
 568
 569 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 570
 571         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
 572         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
 573         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
 574         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
 575         among BINDINGS is referenced.
 576         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
 577         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
 578
 579 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 580
 581         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
 582         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
 583
 584 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 585
 586         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
 587         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
 588         static libraries.
 589
 590 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 591
 592         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
 593
 594 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 595
 596         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
 597
 598 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 599
 600         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
 601         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
 602         adapt to the new hooks.
 603
 604 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 605
 606         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
 607         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
 608         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
 609         code.
 610         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
 611         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
 612
 613         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
 614         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
 615         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
 616         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
 617         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
 618         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
 619         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
 620         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
 621         first to register linked modules.
 622
 623         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
 624         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
 625         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
 626
 627         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
 628         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
 629         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
 630         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
 631
 632         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
 633         to use from C:
 634         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
 635         libguile/feature.c.
 636
 637         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
 638         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
 639         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
 640
 641 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 642
 643         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
 644         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
 645         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
 646
 647 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 648
 649         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
 650         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
 651         result of the last form.
 652
 653 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 654
 655         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
 656         syncase.scm.
 657
 658         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
 659
 660         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
 661         readline-set!: New options interface.
 662
 663         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
 664
 665 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 666
 667         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
 668         at the end of boot-9.scm.
 669
 670 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 671
 672         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
 673         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 674
 675 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 676
 677         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
 678         interactive session.
 679         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
 680
 681         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
 682         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
 683
 684 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 685
 686         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
 687
 688 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 689
 690         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
 691         read line was empty.
 692
 693 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 694
 695         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
 696         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
 697
 698         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
 699
 700         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
 701         problem.  Duh.
 702         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
 703         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
 704         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
 705
 706         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
 707         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
 708         into...
 709         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
 710         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
 711         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
 712
 713         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
 714         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
 715         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
 716         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
 717         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
 718         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
 719         psyntax.ss.
 720         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 721
 722         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 723         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 724
 725 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 726
 727         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
 728         and short vectors #h(...).
 729
 730 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 731
 732         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
 733         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
 734         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
 735
 736 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 737
 738         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
 739         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
 740         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
 741
 742 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 743
 744         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
 745         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
 746
 747         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
 748         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
 749         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
 750         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
 751
 752 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 753
 754         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
 755         trace flag.
 756
 757         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
 758         order to allow the empty list as arg.
 759         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
 760         context with traps enabled.
 761
 762 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 763
 764         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
 765         module.
 766         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
 767
 768 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 769
 770         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
 771         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
 772         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
 773         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
 774         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
 775
 776 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 777
 778         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
 779         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
 780
 781 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 782
 783         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
 784
 785 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 786
 787         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
 788
 789 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 790
 791         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
 792
 793 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 794
 795         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
 796         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
 797
 798 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 799
 800         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
 801         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
 802         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
 803         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
 804         Archibald.)
 805
 806         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
 807         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
 808         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
 809
 810 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 811
 812         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
 813         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
 814         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
 815         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
 816         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
 817         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
 818         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 819
 820 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 821
 822         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
 823
 824 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 825
 826         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
 827         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
 828         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
 829         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
 830         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
 831         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
 832
 833 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 834
 835         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
 836         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
 837         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
 838         Steven G. Johnson.)
 839
 840 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 841
 842         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
 843
 844 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 845
 846         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
 847
 848 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 849
 850         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
 851         be completed.
 852
 853 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 854
 855         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
 856
 857 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 858
 859         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
 860         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
 861
 862 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 863
 864         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
 865         similar in use to `use-modules'.
 866         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
 867         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
 868         transformer.
 869         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
 870         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
 871
 872 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 873
 874         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
 875
 876 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 877
 878         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
 879         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
 880         completion.
 881
 882         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
 883         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
 884
 885         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
 886         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
 887         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
 888
 889         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
 890
 891 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 892
 893         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
 894
 895         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
 896         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
 897
 898 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 899
 900         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
 901
 902 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 903
 904         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
 905         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
 906
 907         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
 908
 909         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
 910         obsolete.
 911
 912 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 913
 914         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
 915         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
 916
 917 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 918
 919         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
 920
 921 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 922
 923         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
 924         Stachowiak.)
 925
 926 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 927
 928         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
 929         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
 930         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
 931         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
 932         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
 933         threads.
 934
 935 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 936
 937         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
 938         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
 939         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
 940
 941 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 942
 943         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
 944
 945         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
 946         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
 947
 948 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 949
 950         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
 951         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
 952         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
 953         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
 954         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
 955         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
 956         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
 957         to go here.
 958
 959 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 960
 961         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
 962         is now a fluid.
 963
 964 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 965
 966         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
 967         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
 968         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
 969         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
 970         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
 971         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
 972
 973 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 974
 975         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
 976         usefully so they will work from a script.
 977
 978 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 979
 980         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
 981         neighborhood of the record code.
 982
 983 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 984
 985         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
 986         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
 987         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
 988         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
 989
 990 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 991
 992         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
 993         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
 994         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 995
 996 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 997
 998         Add support for readline function.
 999         * readline.scm: New module.
1000         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1001         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1002         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1003         anything.
1004         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1005         repl-reader to use them.
1006         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1007
1008         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1009
1010 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1011
1012         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1013         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1014
1015 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1016
1017         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1018         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1019         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1020
1021 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1022
1023         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1024         #f, abort terminates the process.
1025         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1026         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1027
1028 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1029
1030         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1031         print-state, throw it away.
1032
1033 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1034
1035         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1036         `0'.
1037
1038 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1039
1040         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1041         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1042         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1043         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1044         user field).
1045         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1046         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1047
1048 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1049
1050         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1051
1052 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1053
1054         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1055         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1056         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1057         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1058         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1059         boot-9.scm.
1060         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1061         distribution and installation.
1062         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1063
1064 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1065
1066         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1067
1068 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1069
1070         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1071         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1072         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1073
1074         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1075         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1076         symbol.
1077
1078 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1079
1080         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1081
1082         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1083
1084 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1085
1086         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1087         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1088         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1089         field a separate argument.
1090
1091         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1092
1093 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1094
1095         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1096
1097         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1098         vicinity;
1099         Provide defmacro.
1100
1101 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1102
1103         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1104
1105 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1106
1107         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1108         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1109         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1110         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1111         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1112         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1113         registered.
1114         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1115         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1116         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1117         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1118         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1119         link a .so-file.

1126
1127         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1128         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1129
1130 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1131
1132         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1133
1134         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1135         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1136         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1137         expansion inside the slib module.
1138
1139         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1140         constructors.

1146         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
1147         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1148
1149         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1150         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1151         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1152         source.
1153         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1154         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1155         been loaded.
1156
1157 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

1163
1164         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

1166         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1167         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1168         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1169         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1170         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1171         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1172         module.
1173         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1174
1175 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1176
1177         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1178
1179         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1180         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1181         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1182         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1183         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1184
1185         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1186         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1187         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1188         syncase macros.
1189         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1190         the syncase interface.
1191
1192 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1193
1194         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1195         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1196         workings of the current module system).
1197
1198 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1199
1200         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1201         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1202         off!
1203
1204 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1209
1210 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1211
1212         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1213         according to the following priorities:
1214         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1215         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1216         3. tcl bindings
1217         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1218         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1219         (new-interpreter): New function.
1220
1221         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1222         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1223         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1224

1234

1240
1241         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1242         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1243         source!
1244
1245 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

1252         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
1253         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1254         in stack-ref).
1255
1256         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1257         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1258         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1259         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1260         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1261         result protocol;

1274
1275 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1276
1277         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1278         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1279         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1280
1281         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1282
1283         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1284         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
1285         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1286

1295         cstime.
1296
1297 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1298
1299         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1300         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1301         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1302
1303         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1304         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1305         the top.
1306
1307         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1308         order to narrow it correctly.
1309         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

1313         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
1314         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
1315

1317
1318         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1319
1320 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1321
1322         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1323         builtin `with-fluids*'.
1324
1325 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1326
1327         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1328         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1329         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1330
1331 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1340         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1341         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.

1343
1344 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1345
1346         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1347         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1348         a default of /.
1349
1350         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1351
1352 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1354         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1355         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1356         notation, instead of #/ notation.

1362
1363         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1364         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1365         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1366         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1367         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1368         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1369
1370         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1371         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1372         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1373         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1374
1375 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1376
1377         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1378         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1379         sending in bug reports.
1380         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1381         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1382         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1383         display a warning if the two are different.
1384         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1385         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1386         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1387
1388 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1394         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1395         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1396
1397         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1398         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1399         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1400         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1401         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1402         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1403         that's okay.
1404
1405         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1406         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1407         regexp interface.
1408
1409         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1410         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
1411
1412         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1413         function names.
1414
1415         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1416         fixes.
1417

1419
1420         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1421         ../configure.in.
1422
1423 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1424
1425         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1426         vtable and not the one of the struct.
1427
1428 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1429
1430         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1431         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1432         to support printing of structures.
1433         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1434         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
1435         commented out printing code.
1436         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1437         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1438
1439 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1440
1441         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1442
1443 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1444
1445         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1446         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1447         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1448         during call to scm-style-repl.
1449
1450 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1451
1452         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1453         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1454         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1455         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
1456         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
1457
1458 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1459
1460         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1461         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1462         (ice-9 regex).
1463
1464 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1465
1466         * regex.scm: New file.
1467         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1468         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1469
1470 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1471
1472         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1473         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1474         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1475         threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1476
1477 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1478
1479         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1480         in 1997.
1481
1482 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1483
1484         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1485         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
1486         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1487
1488 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1489
1490         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1491         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1492         here.
1493
1494 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1495
1496         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1497
1498 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1499
1500         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1501
1502 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1503
1504         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1505         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1506         fixes this too.
1507
1508 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1509
1510         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1511         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1512         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
1513
1514 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1515
1516         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1517         the Scheme code like code yet.
1518         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1519
1520 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1521
1522         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1523         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
1524         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1525
1526 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1527
1528         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1529         use-modules macro
1530         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1531         can't be found.
1532
1533 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1534
1535         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1536
1537 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1538
1539         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1540
1541         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1542         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1543         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1544
1545 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1546
1547         Get 'make dist' to work again.
1548         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1549         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1550
1551         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1552         no plugins.
1553         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1554         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1555
1556 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1557
1558         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1559         functions.
1560
1561 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1562
1563         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1564
1565 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1566
1567         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1568         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1569
1570 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1571
1572         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1573         instead of in libguile.
1574         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1575         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1576
1577 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1578
1579         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1580         procedures.
1581         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1582         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1583
1584 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1585
1586         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1587         sockaddr:port): new functions.
1588
1589 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1590
1591         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1592         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1593         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1594         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1595
1596 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1597
1598         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1599         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1600
1601 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1602
1603         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1604
1605 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1606
1607         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1608         keywords and symbols.
1609
1610 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1611
1612         * slib.scm: update read usage.
1613
1614         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1615         Don't define read-sharp.
1616
1617         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1618         (read-sharp): removed.
1619         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1620         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1621
1622 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1623
1624         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1625
1626         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
1627         primitive procedure.)
1628
1629         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1630         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1631
1632 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1633
1634         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1635
1636 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1637
1638         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1639
1640 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1641
1642         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1643         read gets EOF.
1644         * (exit): alias for quit.
1645
1646 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1647
1648         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1649         return the quit args.
1650         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1651         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
1652         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1653
1654         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1655
1656 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1657
1658         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1659
1660         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1661         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1662
1663         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1664         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1665
1666         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1667         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1668         of handlers.
1669
1670 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1671
1672         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1673
1674         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1675         (add-hooks!): New macro.
1676         Change hooks to use these functions.
1677
1678         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
1679         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1680         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1681         the source! :-)
1682         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1683         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1684         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1685         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
1686         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1687         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1688         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1689         traced.
1690
1691         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1692         and exit-frame exceptions.
1693
1694         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1695         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1696         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1697         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1698         result; otherwise display "> ".
1699         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1700
1701         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1702         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1703         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
1704         repository version runnable.
1705
1706 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1707
1708         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1709         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
1710         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1711         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1712         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1713         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1714
1715 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1716
1717         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1718         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1719         and eval.
1720         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1721         "defined?".
1722         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1723         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
1724
1725 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1726
1727         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1728
1729 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1730
1731         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1732         %read-sharp layer.
1733
1734 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1735
1736         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1737         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1738
1739 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1740
1741         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
1742         backtrace.c.)
1743
1744 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1745
1746         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1747         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1748
1749 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1750
1751         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1752
1753         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1754         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1755         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1756         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1757         dynamic linking of modules.
1758         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1759         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1760
1761 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1762
1763         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1764
1765 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1766
1767         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1768         that's what it is.
1769
1770         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1771         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
1772         was false.
1773
1774 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1775
1776         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1777         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1778         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1779
1780 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1781
1782         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1783         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
1784         yet.
1785
1786 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1787
1788         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1789         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1790         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1791
1792 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1793
1794         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1795         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1796         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1797         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1798
1799         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1800         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1801         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1802         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1803         (such as the-scm-module).
1804
1805 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1806
1807         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1808         %search-load-path.
1809
1810 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
1811
1812         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1813         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1814         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1815
1816 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1817
1818         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1819         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1820         function, use it accordingly.
1821
1822 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1823
1824         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
1825         function of no arguments.
1826         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1827         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1828         set-current-module): Uses changed.
1829         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1830         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1831         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1832         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1833         *top-level-eval-closure*.
1834
1835 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1836
1837         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1838         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1839
1840 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1841
1842         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1843         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1844         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
1845         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
1846         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1847
1848         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1849         `*features*'.
1850
1851         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1852         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
1853         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1854         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1855
1856         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1857
1858         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1859
1860         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1861         If the user wants to see this, he can do
1862         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1863
1864         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1865         error.
1866
1867         Added `before-read-hook'.
1868
1869         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1870
1871         (provide): New function.
1872
1873         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1874         in backtraces.
1875
1876         (backtrace): New function.
1877
1878         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1879         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1880         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
1881         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1882         is found in operator position in a frame.
1883
1884         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1885         by default.
1886
1887         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1888         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1889         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1890
1891         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
1892
1893         (library-vicinity): Updated.
1894
1895         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1896
1897         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1898
1899 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1900
1901         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1902
1903         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1904         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
1905
1906         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1907         so they'll get distributed.
1908
1909         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
1910         should see as little clutter as possible.
1911         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1912         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1913         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1914
1915         * r4rs.scm: New file.
1916         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1917         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1918         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1919         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1920         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1921         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1922         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1923         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1924         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1925         that are not.
1926         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1927         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1928
1929         * test.scm: New file.
1930
1931         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1932         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
1933         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1934
1935         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1936         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1937
1938         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1939         work now.
1940         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
1941         call %load-announce.
1942
1943 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1944
1945         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1946         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1947         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1948         components.
1949         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1950
1951 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1952
1953         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1954         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1955         SCSH (which this isn't).
1956
1957 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1958
1959         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1960
1961 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1962
1963         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1964         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1965         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1966         these.
1967         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
1968         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
1969         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1970         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1971         save-stack.
1972
1973 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1974
1975         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1976
1977         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1978
1979         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1980         error-catching-loop.
1981         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1982         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1983         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1984
1985         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1986         error-catching-loop.
1987
1988 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1989
1990         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1991         (make-module): Rework for readability.
1992         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1993         should be '(), not #f.
1994
1995         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1996         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1997
1998 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1999
2000         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2001         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2002         error-signal.
2003
2004 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2005
2006         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2007         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2008         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2009         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2010
2011 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2012
2013         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2014
2015 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2016
2017         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2018
2019         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2020         throw-handler-default.
2021         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2022         reported.
2023         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2024         acro.
2025         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2026         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2027
2028 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2029
2030         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2031         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2032         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2033         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2034
2035 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2036
2037         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2038         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2039         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2040         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2041         ...))
2042         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2043         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2044         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2045         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2046         file-is-directory?
2047
2048 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2049
2050         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2051
2052         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2053         distribution.
2054
2055         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2056         `switch-repl'.
2057
2058         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2059
2060 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2061
2062         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2063         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2064
2065 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2066
2067         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2068
2069         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2070
2071 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2072
2073         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2074         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2075         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2076         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2077         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2078
2079         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2080         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2081         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2082         they seem redundant.
2083         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2084         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2085         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2086         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2087         directly files starting with "/").
2088         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2089         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2090
2091         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2092
2093 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2094
2095         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2096         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2097         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2098         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2099         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2100         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2101         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2102         robust to just do it in the C code.
2103
2104 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2105
2106         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2107         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2108         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2109         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2110         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2111
2112 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2113
2114         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2115         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2116         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2117
2118 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2119
2120         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2121         system-error, not every kind of error.
2122         (scm-error): new procedure.
2123
2124 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2125
2126         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2127
2128 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2129
2130         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2131         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number

2167
2168         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2169         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2170         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2171         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2172         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

2209         for these.
