3 * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition. (Is now
4 provided by libguile/modules.c.)
6 * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
9 * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
10 record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
11 (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto. (This is actually a bugfix!)
12 (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
14 * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
16 * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
17 (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
19 * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
21 * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
22 (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
24 2000-08-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
26 * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
27 definition of module-type.
29 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
31 * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
33 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
35 (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
36 *after* all used interfaces has been added.
38 2000-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
40 * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to thi!
42 2000-07-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
44 * boot-9.scm (expt): In case of negative integer exponents return
45 an exact result if the input paramters were exact. Thanks to
46 Mikael for the suggestion.
48 2000-07-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
50 * boot-9.scm (expt): Make sure that integer-expt is only called
51 if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
53 2000-07-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
55 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
58 2000-06-27 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
60 * popen.scm: gc-thunk is deprecated. Use after-gc-hook instead.
62 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
64 * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
65 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber
68 (delete-if!, delete-if-not!): Renamed parameter from `list' to
69 `l' in order to avoid confusion. Note: These functions are not
72 2000-06-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
74 * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
75 and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
77 * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
78 (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
79 (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
81 (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
83 * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
85 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
87 * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
88 module graph. (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
90 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
92 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
93 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
95 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
97 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
98 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
100 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
102 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
104 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
106 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
108 2000-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
110 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
112 (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
113 (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
115 (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
117 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
120 * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
121 (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
122 (apropos-fold): New procedure.
123 (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
126 * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
128 * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
130 2000-06-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
132 * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
133 (write-all): Removed.
134 (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'. Return
135 documentation string instead of printing it. Not exported.
137 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
139 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
142 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
143 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
144 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
145 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
146 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
147 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
148 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
151 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
153 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
155 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
157 * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
158 anonymous. Now needed in modules.c.
159 (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
162 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
164 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
165 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
166 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
167 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
168 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
169 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
170 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
172 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
174 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
175 accept complex numbers as parameter.
177 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
179 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
180 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
182 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
184 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
185 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
186 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
187 instead of remove-if when iterating.
188 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
189 delete-if! when iterating.
191 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
193 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
195 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
197 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
199 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
201 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
202 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
203 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
204 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
206 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
208 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
209 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
211 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
213 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
214 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
215 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
216 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
218 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
220 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
221 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
223 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
225 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
226 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
228 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
230 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
233 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
235 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
236 source of the numerous very short changes.
238 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
240 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
243 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
246 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
248 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
251 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
253 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
254 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
256 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
258 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
261 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
263 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
264 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
265 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
267 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
269 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
270 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
271 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
272 Narazaki for this change.
274 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
276 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
277 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
280 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
281 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
283 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
285 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
286 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
288 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
290 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
291 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
292 use define-public to export from the module.
294 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
296 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
297 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
298 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
300 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
302 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
304 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
306 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
307 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
309 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
311 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
313 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
315 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
317 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
319 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
320 long_long uniform vectors.
322 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
324 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
325 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
327 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
329 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
330 script to create generated files like this one.
332 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
334 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
335 available before using getpw and getuid.
336 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
337 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
339 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
340 check for .guile, instead of stat.
341 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
343 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
344 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
345 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
347 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
348 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
350 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
352 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
354 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
357 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
358 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
360 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
362 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
364 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
365 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
366 ("position"): New command.
367 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
368 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
369 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
370 to return a valid state.)
371 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
373 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
375 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
376 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
379 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
381 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
382 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
384 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
386 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
388 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
390 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
391 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
393 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
394 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
395 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
397 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
400 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
402 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
403 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
405 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
407 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
409 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
410 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
411 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
412 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
414 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
417 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
418 both forward and backward views of the stack
419 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
420 Use selector `frame-number';
421 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
422 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
424 Use readline conditionally.
426 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
428 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
429 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
430 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
432 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
433 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
436 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
438 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
440 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
442 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
444 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
446 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
448 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
449 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
450 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
451 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
452 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
453 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
454 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
455 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
456 libguile-config-stamp.
457 * version.scm.in: Delete.
458 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
459 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
460 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
461 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
463 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
465 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
466 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
467 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
469 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
470 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
471 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
472 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
475 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
477 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
479 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
481 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
483 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
484 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
486 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
488 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
489 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
490 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
491 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
492 objects starting with '#/'.
494 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
496 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
497 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
498 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
499 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
500 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
501 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
503 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
504 module-modified): New procedures.
505 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
506 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
508 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
510 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
513 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
515 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
516 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
517 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
519 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
522 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
524 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
525 at multiple calls to read.
526 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
527 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
528 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
529 continued-lines prompt.
531 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
534 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
536 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
537 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
539 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
541 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
542 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
545 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
547 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
548 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
550 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
551 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
552 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
553 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
554 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
557 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
559 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
560 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
562 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
564 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
565 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
566 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
567 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
569 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
571 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
573 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
574 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
575 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
578 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
580 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
581 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
582 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
583 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
584 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
585 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
586 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
587 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
588 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
589 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
590 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
592 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
594 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
595 peeked from the stream.
596 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
597 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
598 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
600 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
602 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
603 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
605 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
607 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
608 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
609 exiting repl with single control-D.
611 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
613 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
614 error catching loop after quit received.
615 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
617 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
618 primitive exit if non-interactive.
619 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
621 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
622 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
624 * popen.scm: new file.
626 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
628 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
629 (reverse-iota): removed.
631 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
633 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
634 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
636 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
638 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
639 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
640 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
641 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
642 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
644 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
646 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
648 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
649 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
651 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
652 Guile's module system.
654 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
656 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
657 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
658 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
659 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
660 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
661 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
663 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
664 '() when the condition is false.
666 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
668 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
670 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
672 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
674 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
676 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
677 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
678 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
680 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
682 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
683 argument order for hash-fold.
685 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
687 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
689 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
690 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
692 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
693 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
694 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
695 has been added to the load path).
699 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
701 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
702 module between system and user state.
704 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
706 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
708 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
711 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
713 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
714 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
715 system can create a wrapper class for it.
717 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
719 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
720 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
721 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
722 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
723 stack frame encountered.
725 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
726 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
727 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
728 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
731 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
732 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
733 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
734 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
737 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
738 define-module switches:
743 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
746 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
747 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
748 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
749 module it is a system frame.
751 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
752 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
753 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
754 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
755 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
757 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
758 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
759 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
760 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
761 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
762 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
764 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
766 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
767 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
769 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
770 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
771 closure to the module.
773 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
775 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
777 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
779 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
781 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
783 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
785 Fix from Russ McManus:
786 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
787 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
788 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
789 either an optional or required value.
791 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
793 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
795 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
796 of the '() key, not `rest'.
798 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
799 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
800 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
801 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
803 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
805 * optargs.scm: New file.
806 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
807 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
809 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
811 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
812 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
813 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
815 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
817 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
818 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
821 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
823 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
825 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
827 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
828 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
829 applied to the module itself.
831 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
833 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
835 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
836 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
838 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
840 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
842 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
844 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
846 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
848 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
849 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
851 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
853 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
854 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
855 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
856 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
857 among BINDINGS is referenced.
858 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
859 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
861 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
863 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
864 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
866 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
868 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
869 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
872 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
874 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
876 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
878 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
880 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
882 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
883 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
884 adapt to the new hooks.
886 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
888 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
889 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
890 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
892 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
893 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
895 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
896 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
897 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
898 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
899 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
900 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
901 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
902 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
903 first to register linked modules.
905 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
906 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
907 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
909 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
910 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
911 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
912 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
914 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
916 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
919 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
920 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
921 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
923 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
925 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
926 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
927 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
929 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
931 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
932 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
933 result of the last form.
935 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
937 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
940 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
942 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
943 readline-set!: New options interface.
945 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
947 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
949 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
950 at the end of boot-9.scm.
952 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
954 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
955 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
957 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
959 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
961 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
963 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
964 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
966 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
968 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
970 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
972 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
975 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
977 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
978 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
980 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
982 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
984 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
985 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
986 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
988 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
989 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
991 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
992 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
993 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
995 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
996 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
997 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
998 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
999 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1000 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1002 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1004 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1005 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1007 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1009 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1010 and short vectors #h(...).
1012 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1014 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1015 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1016 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1018 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1020 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1021 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
1022 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1024 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1026 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1027 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1029 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1030 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
1031 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
1032 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1034 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1036 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1039 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1040 order to allow the empty list as arg.
1041 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1042 context with traps enabled.
1044 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1046 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1048 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1050 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1052 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1053 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1054 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
1055 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1056 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1058 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1060 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1061 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1063 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1065 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1067 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1069 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1071 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1073 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1075 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1077 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1078 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1080 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1082 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1083 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1084 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1085 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
1088 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1089 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1090 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1092 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1094 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1095 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1096 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1097 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
1098 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1099 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1100 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1102 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1104 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1106 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1108 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1109 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1110 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
1111 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1112 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1113 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1115 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1117 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1118 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1119 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
1122 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1124 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1126 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1128 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1130 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1132 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1135 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1137 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1139 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1141 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1142 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1144 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1146 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1147 similar in use to `use-modules'.
1148 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1149 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1151 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1152 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1154 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1156 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1158 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1160 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1161 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1164 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1165 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1167 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1168 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1169 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1171 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1173 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1175 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1177 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1178 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1180 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1182 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1184 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1186 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
1187 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1189 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1191 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
1194 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1196 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1197 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1199 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1201 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1203 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1205 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
1208 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1210 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1211 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
1212 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1213 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1214 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1217 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1219 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1220 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1221 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1223 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1225 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1227 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1228 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1230 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1232 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1233 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1234 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1235 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1236 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1237 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1238 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1241 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1243 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1246 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1248 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1249 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1250 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1251 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1252 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1253 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1255 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1257 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1258 usefully so they will work from a script.
1260 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1262 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1263 neighborhood of the record code.
1265 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1267 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1268 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1269 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1270 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1272 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1274 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1275 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1276 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1278 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1280 Add support for readline function.
1281 * readline.scm: New module.
1282 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1283 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1284 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1286 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1287 repl-reader to use them.
1288 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1290 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1292 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1294 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1295 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1297 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1299 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1300 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1301 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1303 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1305 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
1306 #f, abort terminates the process.
1307 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1308 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1310 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1312 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1313 print-state, throw it away.
1315 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1317 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1320 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1322 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1323 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1324 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1325 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1327 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1328 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1330 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1332 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1334 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1336 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1337 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1338 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1339 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1340 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1342 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1343 distribution and installation.
1344 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1346 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1348 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1350 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1352 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1353 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1354 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1356 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1357 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1360 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1362 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1364 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1366 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1368 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1369 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1370 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1371 field a separate argument.
1373 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1375 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1377 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1379 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1383 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1385 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1387 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1389 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1390 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1391 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1392 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1393 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1394 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1396 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1397 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1398 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1399 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1400 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1403 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1405 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

1409 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1410 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1412 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1414 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1416 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1417 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1418 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1419 expansion inside the slib module.
1421 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1423 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1424 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

1429 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1431 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1432 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1433 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1435 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1436 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1439 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1441 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1442 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1444 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1446 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1447 (make-module): Modified initialization.
1448 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1449 mutator for module-associated transformer.
1450 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1451 `scm:eval-transformer'.
1452 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1453 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current

1459 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1461 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1462 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1463 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1464 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1465 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1467 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1468 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1469 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1471 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1472 the syncase interface.
1474 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1476 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1477 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1478 workings of the current module system).
1480 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1482 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1483 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

1488 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1489 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1490 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.

1494 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1495 according to the following priorities:
1496 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1497 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1499 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1500 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1501 (new-interpreter): New function.
1503 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1504 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1505 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1507 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1509 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1511 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1513 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".

1517 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1519 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
1521 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1523 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1524 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the

1529 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1530 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
1531 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
1532 symbols matching regexp.
1534 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
1535 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1538 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1539 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1540 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1541 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1542 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1544 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1545 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1547 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1549 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.

1569 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1571 * session.scm: New file: Session support.
1572 (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.

1581 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1582 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1583 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1585 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1586 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1589 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1590 order to narrow it correctly.
1591 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

1598 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1600 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1602 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1604 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1605 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1607 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1609 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1610 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1611 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1613 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1626 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1628 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1629 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1632 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1634 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1636 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1637 poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1638 notation, instead of #/ notation.
1640 * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
1643 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1645 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1646 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1647 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1648 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1649 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1650 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1652 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1653 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1654 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1655 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1657 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1659 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1660 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1661 sending in bug reports.
1662 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1663 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1664 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1665 display a warning if the two are different.
1666 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1667 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1668 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1670 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1672 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1674 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1676 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1677 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1679 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1680 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1681 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1682 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1683 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1684 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1687 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1688 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1691 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1692 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1694 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1697 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1700 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1702 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1705 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1707 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1708 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1710 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1712 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1713 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1714 to support printing of structures.
1715 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1716 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1717 commented out printing code.
1718 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1719 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1721 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1723 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1725 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1727 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1728 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1729 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1730 during call to scm-style-repl.
1732 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1734 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1735 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1736 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1737 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1738 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1740 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1742 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1743 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1746 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1748 * regex.scm: New file.
1749 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1750 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1752 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1754 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1755 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1756 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1757 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1759 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1761 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1764 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1766 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1767 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1768 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1770 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1772 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1773 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1776 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1778 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1780 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1782 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1784 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1786 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1787 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1790 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1792 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1793 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1794 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1796 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1798 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1799 the Scheme code like code yet.
1800 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1802 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1804 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1805 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1806 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1808 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1810 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1812 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1815 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1817 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1819 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1821 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1823 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1824 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1825 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1827 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1829 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1830 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1831 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1833 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1835 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1836 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1838 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1840 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1843 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1845 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1847 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1849 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1850 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1852 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1854 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1855 instead of in libguile.
1856 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1857 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1859 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1861 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1863 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1864 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1866 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1868 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1869 sockaddr:port): new functions.
1871 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1873 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1874 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1875 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1876 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1878 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1880 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1881 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1883 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1885 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1887 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1889 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1890 keywords and symbols.
1892 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1894 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1896 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1897 Don't define read-sharp.
1899 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1900 (read-sharp): removed.
1901 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1902 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1904 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1906 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1908 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
1909 primitive procedure.)
1911 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1912 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1914 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1916 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1918 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1920 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1922 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1924 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1926 * (exit): alias for quit.
1928 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1930 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1931 return the quit args.
1932 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1933 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1934 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1936 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1938 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1940 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1942 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1943 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1945 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1946 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1948 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1949 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1952 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1954 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1956 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1957 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1958 Change hooks to use these functions.
1960 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1961 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1962 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1964 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1965 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1966 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1967 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1968 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1969 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1970 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1973 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1974 and exit-frame exceptions.
1976 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1977 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1978 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1979 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1980 result; otherwise display "> ".
1981 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1983 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1984 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1985 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1986 repository version runnable.
1988 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1990 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1991 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1992 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1993 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1994 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1995 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1997 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1999 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2000 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2002 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2004 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2005 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
2007 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2009 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2011 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2013 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2016 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2018 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2019 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2021 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2023 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
2026 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2028 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2029 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2031 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2033 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2035 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2036 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2037 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2038 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2039 dynamic linking of modules.
2040 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2041 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2043 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2045 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2047 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2049 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2052 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2053 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
2056 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2058 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2059 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2060 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2062 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2064 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2065 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
2068 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2070 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2071 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2072 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2074 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2076 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2077 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2078 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2079 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2081 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2082 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2083 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2084 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2085 (such as the-scm-module).
2087 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2089 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2092 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
2094 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2095 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2096 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2098 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2100 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2101 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2102 function, use it accordingly.
2104 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2106 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
2107 function of no arguments.
2108 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2109 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2110 set-current-module): Uses changed.
2111 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2112 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2113 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2114 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2115 *top-level-eval-closure*.
2117 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2119 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2120 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2122 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2124 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2125 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2126 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
2127 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
2128 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2130 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2133 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2134 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
2135 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2136 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2138 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2140 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2142 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2143 If the user wants to see this, he can do
2144 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2146 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2149 Added `before-read-hook'.
2151 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2153 (provide): New function.
2155 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2158 (backtrace): New function.
2160 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2161 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2162 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
2163 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2164 is found in operator position in a frame.
2166 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2169 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2170 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2171 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2173 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
2175 (library-vicinity): Updated.
2177 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2179 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2181 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2183 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2185 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2186 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
2188 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2189 so they'll get distributed.
2191 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
2192 should see as little clutter as possible.
2193 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2194 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2195 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2197 * r4rs.scm: New file.
2198 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2199 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2200 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2201 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2202 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2203 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2204 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2205 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2206 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2208 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2209 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2211 * test.scm: New file.
2213 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2214 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
2215 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2217 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2218 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2220 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2222 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2223 call %load-announce.
2225 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2227 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2228 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2229 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2231 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2233 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2235 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2236 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2237 SCSH (which this isn't).
2239 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2241 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2243 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2245 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2246 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2247 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2249 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2250 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2251 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2252 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2255 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2257 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2259 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2261 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2262 error-catching-loop.
2263 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2264 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2265 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2267 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2268 error-catching-loop.
2270 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2272 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2273 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2274 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2275 should be '(), not #f.
2277 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2278 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2280 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2282 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2283 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2286 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2288 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2289 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2290 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2291 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2293 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2295 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2297 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2299 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2301 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2302 throw-handler-default.
2303 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2305 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2307 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2308 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2310 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2312 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2313 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2314 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2315 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2317 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2319 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2320 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2321 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2322 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2324 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2325 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2326 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2327 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2330 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2332 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2334 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2337 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2340 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2342 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2344 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2345 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2347 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2349 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2351 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2353 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2355 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2356 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2357 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2358 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2359 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2361 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2362 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2363 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2364 they seem redundant.
2365 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2366 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2367 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2368 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2369 directly files starting with "/").
2370 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2371 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2373 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2375 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2377 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2378 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2379 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2380 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2381 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2382 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2383 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2384 robust to just do it in the C code.
2386 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2388 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2389 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2390 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2391 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2392 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2394 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2396 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2397 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2398 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2400 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2402 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2403 system-error, not every kind of error.
2404 (scm-error): new procedure.
2406 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2408 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2410 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2412 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2413 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2414 of args are supplied.
2415 (%%system-errors): removed.
2416 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2417 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2418 %%handle-system-error.
2419 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2420 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2421 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2422 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2424 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2426 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2427 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2428 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2429 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2431 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2433 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2434 the empty list if they are #f.
2435 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2437 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2439 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2441 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2442 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2443 aborting, just the key and subr.
2444 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2445 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2446 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2448 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2450 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2451 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2452 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2453 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2454 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2456 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2458 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2459 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2460 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2461 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2463 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2465 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2466 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2467 initialize %load-path.
2469 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2470 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2472 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2474 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2475 Add the directory named after the version number.
2476 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2477 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2478 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2479 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2480 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2481 (install): Create the above directories.
2482 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2483 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2485 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2487 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2488 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2489 in the Makefile directly.
2490 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2492 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2494 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2495 here, where people expect to find them.
2497 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2499 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2500 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2502 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2504 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2506 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2507 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2509 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2511 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2512 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2514 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2515 weak-key-hash-table.
2517 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2519 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2520 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2521 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2522 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2523 (%open-file): removed.
2524 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2525 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2527 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2529 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2530 (manifest): Deleted.
2531 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2532 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2534 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2536 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2537 now that they throw errors directly.
2538 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2539 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2541 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2543 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2545 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
2547 * The more things change...
