  60
  61         Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
  62         following changes:
  63
  64         * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
  65
  66         (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
  67         %system-define.
  68
  69         * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
  70         until Guile supports hygienic macros.

  73
  74         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
  75         has been removed from the core.
  76
  77 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  78
  79         * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
  80         identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
  81         syntax-rules, with-syntax, include):  Changed definitions to form
  82         'real' macro definitions.
  83
  84 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  85
  86         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):

  88

  90
  91         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
  92         Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.

  95
  96         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition

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

 112
 113         * debugger/command-loop.scm (read-and-dispatch-command): Import

 115         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
 116         readline).)

 124
 125         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'.  This

 128 2002-10-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 129
 130         Merging debugger enhancements previously in separate
 131         `guile-debugger' package ...
 132
 133         * debugger.scm: Factored out into the following constituent parts
 134         - see comment in file for more details.
 135         (*not-yet-introduced*): New (avoids repeatedly introducing the

 139
 140         * debugger/commands.scm, debugger/command-loop.scm,
 141         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits
 142         of old (ice-9 debugger), plus some rewriting and enhancements for
 143         breakpoint support ...

 150         location in a way that is more easily trackable by Emacs.
 151
 152         * debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
 153         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
 154         execution from a breakpoint.
 155
 156         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,
 157         debugger/breakpoints/procedural.scm,
 158         debugger/breakpoints/range.scm, debugger/breakpoints/source.scm,
 159         debugger/trap-hooks.scm, debugger/trc.scm: New files - breakpoint

 167
 168         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Do not call unmask-signals, that
 169         should be unnecessary now.
 170
 171 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 172
 173         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
 174         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
 175         the-root-module.
 176
 177 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 178
 179         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
 180         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and

 182         unmask-signals.
 183
 184 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

 190
 191         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
 192         >= 0.
 193
 194 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 195
 196         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to
 197         limit the signal stack.
 198
 199 2002-09-15  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 200

 208
 209         * syncase.scm: Set the module transformer of the-syncase-module so

 258
 259         * gap-buffer.scm: New file.

 300
 301         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
 302         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
 303         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
 304         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
 305
 306 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 310         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
 311         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
 312         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
 313
 314 2001-11-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 315
 316         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have

 320

 324         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
 325         positions.
 326
 327 2001-10-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 328
 329         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 330         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 331         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 332
 333         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,

 335           expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, ls.scm, mapping.scm,
 336           null.scm, optargs.scm, poe.scm, popen.scm, pretty-print.scm,

 339           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
 340           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 341           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 342           exporting bindings.
 343
 344 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 345
 346         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,

 348
 349 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 350
 351         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 352         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 353         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 354         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 355
 356 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 357
 358         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
 359         %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,
 360         %%apropos-internal): Use module-define! instead of
 361         builtin-variable.

 364
 365         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.
 366
 367 2001-09-19  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>
 368
 369         * expect.scm: Commentary fix; nfc.
 370
 371         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
 372
 373 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 374
 375         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 376         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
 377
 378 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 379
 380         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 381         the `arglist' procedure property.
 382         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 383         present a more detailed argument list.
 384
 385         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 386
 387 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 388
 389         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
 390         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel
 391         Skarda.
 392
 393 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 394
 395         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
 396
 397         (feature?): Deprecated.
 398

 426
 427 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 428
 429         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
 430         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
 431         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
 432
 433 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 434
 435         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public

 439
 440         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

 455         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
 456
 457         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
 458         value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
 459         next element is to be taken as the option arg.
 460
 461 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
 462
 463         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
 464         handle :use-syntax correctly.
 465
 466 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 467
 468         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
 469         compile-psyntax.scm.
 470
 471 2001-07-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 472
 473         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
 474         maintainer mode.  Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
 475         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
 476         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
 477         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
 478
 479 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

 484
 485 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 486
 487         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 488         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
 489
 490 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 491
 492         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
 493         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
 494         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
 495         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
 496
 497         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 498         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
 499         since there aren't definitions for them.
 500
 501         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
 502         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
 503
 504 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 505
 506         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
 507         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
 508
 509 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 510
 511         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
 512         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
 513
 514 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 515
 516         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
 517         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
 518         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
 519
 520 2001-06-30  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 521
 522         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
 523
 524         * tags.scm: Removed file.
 525
 526 2001-06-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 527
 528         Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
 529         is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
 530
 531         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
 532         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
 533         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
 534         New.
 535
 536 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 537
 538         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
 539         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
 540
 541 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 542
 543         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
 544         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
 545
 546         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
 547         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
 548         evaluator trap options.)
 549
 550 2001-06-25  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 551
 552         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.

 559
 560         * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
 561
 562 2001-06-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 563
 564         * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
 565         `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
 566
 567 2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 568
 569         * match.scm:
 570         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
 571         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
 572         No longer require `pretty-print'.
 573
 574         (slib:error): Delete.
 575         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
 576
 577         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
 578
 579         * README: New file.
 580
 581         * common-list.scm:
 582         Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
 583         Add Commentary.
 584         Update copyright.
 585
 586 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 587
 588         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
 589         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
 590         rdelim) module.  See below.
 591
 592 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 593
 594         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
 595         include-deprecated-features is true.
 596
 597 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 598
 599         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
 600         unknown objects.
 601
 602         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
 603         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
 604         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 605
 606         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
 607         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
 608         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
 609         Köppe!
 610
 611 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 612
 613         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
 614         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
 615         variable, not just a visible one.
 616         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
 617         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
 618         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
 619         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
 620         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
 621         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
 622         variables.
 623         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
 624
 625         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
 626         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
 627
 628 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 629
 630         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
 631         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
 632
 633 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 634
 635         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
 636
 637 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 638
 639         Added exception notice to all files.
 640
 641         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
 642         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
 643         importing bindings once in a while.
 644
 645 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 646
 647         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
 648         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
 649         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 650         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
 651         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 652         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 653         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 654         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
 655         message.
 656         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
 657         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
 658
 659 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 660
 661         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
 662         fix command so that it works.
 663
 664         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
 665         to access unbound variables.
 666
 667         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
 668         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
 669         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
 670         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
 671         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
 672
 673 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 674
 675         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
 676         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
 677         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
 678         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
 679         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
 680         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
 681         argument for process-define-module.
 682         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
 683         arguments for process-use-modules.
 684         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
 685
 686 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 687
 688         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
 689         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
 690         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
 691         module.
 692
 693         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
 694         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
 695         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
 696
 697         * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.
 698
 699 2001-05-23  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 700
 701         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
 702         to feature lists.

 704
 705 2001-05-21  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 706
 707         * boot-9.scm (use-srfis): Do not extend the srfi-0 feature list.

 709
 710 2001-05-22  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 711
 712         * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
 713         (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when
 714         getting the syntax transformer.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 715
 716 2001-05-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 717
 718         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
 719         deprecated features have been removed.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
 720
 721         * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
 722         `display'.
 723
 724 2001-05-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 725
 726         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
 727         * match.scm: Likewise.
 728         * expect.scm: Likewise.
 729         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 730
 731         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
 732
 733         * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
 734
 735         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
 736         set-current-module.
 737         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
 738         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
 739         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
 740         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
 741         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
 742         element list when adding "." to it.
 743         (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
 744         dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
 745
 746 2001-05-18  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 747
 748         * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
 749         cleanup; nfc.
 750         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
 751         now accepts arg; update callers.
 752         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
 753         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
 754
 755         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
 756         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
 757         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
 758         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
 759         `search-documentation-files'.
 760         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
 761         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.
 762         (help-usage): Mention support for "(help 'NAME)".
 763
 764         * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
 765         Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.

 785
 786         Merge from mvo-vcell-clenaup-1-branch.
 787
 788         * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
 789         the module obarray.
 790         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
 791
 792         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
 793         the magical undefined value.
 794         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
 795         the default default for bindings.
 796
 797         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
 798         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 799         (root-module-closure): Removed.
 800         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 801         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.

 803         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 804         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.  Set the
 805         eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
 806         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
 807         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 808         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
 809         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
 810         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
 811         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
 812         `set-current-module' call.
 813         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
 814         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.
 815
 816         * debug.scm: Use `module-set!' instead of `variable-set!' to set
 817         insert `debug-options' into the-root-module.
 818         * format.scm: Likewise, for `format'.

1157         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
1158
1159         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
1160         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
1161
1162         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
1163         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.

1165 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1166
1167         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
1168         in C for now.
1169         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
1170         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
1171
1172 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1173
1174         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
1175         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
1176         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
1177         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
1178         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
1179         for now.
1180         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
1181         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
1182
1183 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1184
1185         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1186         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1187         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1188         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1189         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1190         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1191         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
1192
1193 2000-12-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1194
1195         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only
1196         half the job.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
1197
1198 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1199
1200         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
1201         any more.
1202
1203 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1204
1205         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
1206         the-root-module.
1207
1208 2000-12-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1209
1210         * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
1211
1212 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1213
1214         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
1215         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
1216         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
1217         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
1218         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
1219         split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
1220         split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1221         split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
1222         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
1223         string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
1224         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
1225         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
1226         make-shared-substring.
1227
1228 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1229
1230         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1231         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1232         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1233         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1234         scm-style-repl.
1235
1236 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1237

1239         and open-output-pipe.
1240
1241 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1242
1243         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1244         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1245         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1246         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1247         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1248         Pirotte for the bug report).
1249         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1250         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
1251
1252 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1253
1254         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.
1255         Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.
1256
1257 2000-10-15  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

1260
1261 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1262
1263         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
1264         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
1265         patch.
1266
1267 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1268
1269         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
1270         Jacques A. Vidrine.
1271
1272 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1273
1274         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1275         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1276         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1277
1278         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1279         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1280         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1281         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1282         actual documentation entries themselves.

1313         `symbol-append'.
1314         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1315         args.
1316         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1317         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1318         even worked...  /mdj.
1319         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1320         `symbol->string'.
1321         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1322         semantics.
1323

1349         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1350         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1351         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1352         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1353         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)

1356
1357 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1358
1359         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
1360         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1361
1362         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1363         syntactic bindings.
1364
1365         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1366         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1367         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)

1378         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1379
1380 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1381
1382         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1383         definition of module-type.
1384
1385         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1386
1387         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1388
1389         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1390         lines.

1392         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1393

1404 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1405
1406         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1407         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1408
1409 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1410
1411         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1412         for export args.
1413
1414 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1415
1416         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.

1426         tail recursive yet.
1427
1428 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1429
1430         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',

1432
1433         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.

1455
1456 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

1463
1464 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1465
1466         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1467         '() instead of #f.
1468         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1469         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1470         `the-root-module'.
1471         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1472
1473         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1474         documentation.scm.
1475
1476         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1477         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1478         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1479         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1480         (help): Rewritten.
1481
1482         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).

1485
1486 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1487

1493 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
1494
1495         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1496         `proc-documentation'
1497
1498         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
1499         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1500         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1501         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1502         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1503         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1504         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1505         getter...)

1514         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
1515         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1516         closure.

1518 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1519
1520         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
1521         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1522         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
1523         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
1524         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1525         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1526         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1527
1528 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1529
1530         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
1531         accept complex numbers as parameter.
1532
1533 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1534
1535         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1536         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
1537
1538 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1539
1540         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1541         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1542         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1543         instead of remove-if when iterating.
1544         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1545         delete-if! when iterating.
1546
1547 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1548
1549         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1550
1551 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1552
1553         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
1554
1555 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1556
1557         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1558         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
1559         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1560         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1561
1562 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1563
1564         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
1565         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1566
1567 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1568
1569         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
1570         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1571         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
1572         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
1573
1574 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1575
1576         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1577         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1578
1579 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1580
1581         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1582         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1583
1584 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1585
1586         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1587         Dirk Hermann!
1588
1589 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1590
1591         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1592         source of the numerous very short changes.
1593
1594 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1595
1596         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1597         public.
1598
1599         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1600         info pages.
1601
1602 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1603
1604         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1605         from slib docs.
1606
1607 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1608
1609         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1610         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1611
1612 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1613
1614         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1615         to string-append.
1616
1617 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1618
1619         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1620         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
1621         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1622
1623 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1624
1625         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1626         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1627         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
1628         Narazaki for this change.
1629
1630 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1631
1632         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1633         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1634         %S.
1635
1636         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1637         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1638
1639 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1640
1641         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1642         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1643
1644 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1645
1646         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1647         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1648         use define-public to export from the module.
1649
1650 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1651
1652         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1653         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1654         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1655
1656 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1657
1658         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1659
1660 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1661
1662         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1663         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1664
1665 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1666
1667         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1668
1669         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1670
1671         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1672
1673 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1674
1675         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1676         long_long uniform vectors.
1677
1678 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1679
1680         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1681         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
1682
1683 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1684
1685         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
1686         script to create generated files like this one.
1687
1688 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1689
1690         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1691         available before using getpw and getuid.
1692         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1693         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1694         check for stat.
1695         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1696         check for .guile, instead of stat.
1697         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1698         available.
1699         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
1700         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1701         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1702
1703         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
1704         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1705
1706         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1707
1708 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1709
1710         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
1711         than 'exit-debugger.
1712
1713         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1714         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1715
1716         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1717
1718 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1719
1720         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
1721         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1722         ("position"): New command.
1723         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1724         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
1725         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
1726         to return a valid state.)
1727         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
1728
1729 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1730
1731         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1732         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
1733         Badros.)
1734
1735 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1736
1737         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1738         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1739
1740 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1741
1742         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
1743
1744         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
1745
1746         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
1747         (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
1748
1749         * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
1750         display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
1751         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
1752         expression.
1753         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
1754         Handle errors.
1755
1756 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1757
1758         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1759         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1760
1761         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1762
1763 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1764
1765         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1766         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1767         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1768         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1769
1770         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1771         argument.
1772
1773         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1774         both forward and backward views of the stack
1775         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1776         Use selector `frame-number';
1777         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1778         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1779         Use (ice-9 debug).
1780         Use readline conditionally.
1781
1782 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1783
1784         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1785         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1786         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1787
1788         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1789         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
1790         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
1791
1792 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1793
1794         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1795
1796         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1797
1798         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1799
1800         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1801
1802 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1803
1804         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1805         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
1806         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
1807         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1808         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1809         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1810         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1811         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1812         libguile-config-stamp.
1813         * version.scm.in: Delete.
1814         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1815         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1816         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1817         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1818
1819 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1820
1821         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1822         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1823         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1824
1825         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1826         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1827         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1828         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
1829         readline.
1830
1831         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1832
1833 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1834
1835         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1836
1837 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1838
1839         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1840         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1841
1842 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1843
1844         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1845         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1846         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1847         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1848         objects starting with '#/'.
1849
1850 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1851
1852         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1853         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1854         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1855         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1856         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1857         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1858         `observer-id'.
1859         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1860         module-modified): New procedures.
1861         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1862         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1863
1864 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1865
1866         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1867         defines.
1868
1869 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1870
1871         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1872         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1873         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1874
1875         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1876         position.
1877
1878 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1879
1880         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1881         at multiple calls to read.
1882         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1883         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1884         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1885         continued-lines prompt.
1886
1887         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1888         reading expressions.

1890 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1891
1892         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1893         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1894
1895 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1896
1897         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1898         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
1899         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1900
1901         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1902
1903         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1904         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1905
1906         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1907         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
1908         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1909         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1910         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1911         instead of a port.
1912
1913 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1914
1915         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1916         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1917
1918         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1919
1920         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
1921         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
1922         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1923         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1924
1925         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1926
1927         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1928
1929         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
1930         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1931         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
1932         an alist.
1933
1934         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1935
1936         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1937         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1938         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1939         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1940         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1941         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1942         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1943         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1944         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1945         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1946         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
1947
1948         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1949
1950         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1951         peeked from the stream.
1952         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1953         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1954         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1955
1956         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1957
1958         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1959         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1960
1961         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1962
1963         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1964         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
1965         exiting repl with single control-D.
1966
1967         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1968
1969         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1970         error catching loop after quit received.
1971         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1972
1973         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1974         primitive exit if non-interactive.
1975         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1976
1977         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1978         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1979         boot-9.scm.
1980         * popen.scm: new file.
1981
1982 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1983
1984        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
1985        (reverse-iota):  removed.
1986
1987 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1988
1989         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1990         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1991
1992 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1993
1994         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1995         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1996         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1997         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1998         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1999
2000 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2001
2002         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2003
2004         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2005         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2006
2007         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2008         Guile's module system.
2009
2010         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2011         changes:
2012         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2013         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2014         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2015         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
2016         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2017         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2018         modern CL behavior.
2019         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2020         '() when the condition is false.
2021
2022 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2023
2024         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2025
2026 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2027
2028         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2029
2030 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2031
2032         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2033         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2034         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2035
2036 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2037
2038         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2039         argument order for hash-fold.
2040
2041 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2042
2043         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
2044         resolve-module.
2045         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2046         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2047
2048         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2049         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2050         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2051         has been added to the load path).
2052
2053         Use try-load-module.
2054
2055 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2056
2057         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
2058         module between system and user state.
2059
2060 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2061
2062         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2063
2064         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2065         definition.
2066
2067 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2068
2069         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2070         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2071         system can create a wrapper class for it.
2072
2073 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2074
2075         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2076         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
2077         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2078         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2079         stack frame encountered.
2080
2081         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2082         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2083         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2084         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2085         list).]
2086
2087         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2088         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2089         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2090         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2091         please tell me!]
2092
2093         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2094         define-module switches:
2095
2096         (define-module (foo)
2097           :no-backtrace)
2098
2099         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2100         modules.
2101
2102         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2103         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2104         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2105         module it is a system frame.
2106
2107         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2108         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2109         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2110         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2111         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2112
2113         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2114         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
2115         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2116         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2117         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
2118         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2119
2120         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2121         status of a module.;
2122         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2123         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2124
2125         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2126         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2127         closure to the module.
2128
2129         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.

2139 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2140
2141         Fix from Russ McManus:
2142         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2143         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2144         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2145         either an optional or required value.
2146
2147 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2148
2149         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2150
2151         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2152         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2153
2154         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2155         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2156         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.

2162         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2163         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2164
2165 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2166
2167         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2168         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2169         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2170
2171 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2172
2173         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2174         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2175         for isn't loaded.
2176
2177 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2178
2179         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2180
2181 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2182
2183         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2184         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2185         applied to the module itself.
2186
2187 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2188
2189         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2190
2191         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2192         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2193
2194 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2195
2196         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

2205         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2206
2207 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2208
2209         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2210         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2211         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2212         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2213         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2214         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2215         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2216
2217 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2218

2221
2222 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2223
2224         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2225         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2226         static libraries.
2227
2228 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2233
2234         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2235
2236 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2237
2238         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2239         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2240         adapt to the new hooks.
2241
2242 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2243
2244         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2245         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2246         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2247         code.
2248         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2249         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2250
2251         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2252         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2253         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2254         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2255         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2256         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2257         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2258         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2259         first to register linked modules.
2260
2261         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2262         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2263         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2264
2265         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2266         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2267         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2268         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2269
2270         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2271         to use from C:
2272         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2273         libguile/feature.c.
2274
2275         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2276         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2277         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2278
2279 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2280
2281         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2282         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2283         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2284
2285 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2286
2287         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2288         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2289         result of the last form.
2290
2291 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2292
2293         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2294         syncase.scm.
2295
2296         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2297
2298         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2299         readline-set!: New options interface.
2300
2301         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2302
2303 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2304
2305         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2306         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2307
2308 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2309
2310         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2311         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2312
2313 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2314
2315         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2316         interactive session.
2317         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2318
2319         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2320         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2321
2322 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2323
2324         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2325
2326 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2327
2328         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2329         read line was empty.
2330
2331 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2332
2333         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2334         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2335
2336         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2337
2338         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2339         problem.  Duh.
2340         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2341         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2342         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2343
2344         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2345         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2346         into...
2347         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2348         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2349         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2350
2351         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2352         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2353         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2354         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2355         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2356         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2357         psyntax.ss.
2358         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2359
2360         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2361         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2362
2363 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2364
2365         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2366         and short vectors #h(...).
2367
2368 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2369
2370         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2371         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2372         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2373
2374 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2375
2376         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2377         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2378         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2379
2380 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2381
2382         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2383         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2384
2385         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2386         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2387         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2388         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2389
2390 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2391
2392         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2393         trace flag.
2394
2395         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2396         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2397         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2398         context with traps enabled.
2399
2400 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2401
2402         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2403         module.
2404         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2405
2406 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2407
2408         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2409         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2410         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2411         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2412         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2413
2414 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2415
2416         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2417         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2418
2419 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2420
2421         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2422
2423 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2424
2425         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2426
2427 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2428
2429         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2430
2431 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2432
2433         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2434         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2435
2436 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2437
2438         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2439         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2440         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2441         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
2442         Archibald.)
2443
2444         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2445         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2446         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2447
2448 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2449
2450         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2451         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2452         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2453         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
2454         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2455         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2456         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2457
2458 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2459
2460         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2461
2462 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2463
2464         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2465         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2466         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
2467         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2468         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2469         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2470
2471 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2472
2473         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2474         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2475         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
2476         Steven G. Johnson.)
2477
2478 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2479
2480         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2481
2482 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2483
2484         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2485
2486 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2487
2488         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2489         be completed.
2490
2491 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2492
2493         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2494
2495 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2496
2497         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2498         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2499
2500 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2501
2502         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2503         similar in use to `use-modules'.
2504         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2505         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2506         transformer.
2507         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2508         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2509
2510 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2511
2512         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2513
2514 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2515
2516         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2517         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2518         completion.
2519
2520         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2521         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2522
2523         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2524         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2525         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2526
2527         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2528
2529 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2530
2531         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2532
2533         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2534         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2535
2536 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2537
2538         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2539
2540 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2541
2542         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
2543         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2544
2545         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2546
2547         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
2548         obsolete.
2549
2550 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2551
2552         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2553         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2554
2555 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2556
2557         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2558
2559 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2560
2561         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
2562         Stachowiak.)
2563
2564 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2565
2566         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2567         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
2568         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2569         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2570         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2571         threads.
2572
2573 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2574
2575         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2576         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2577         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2578
2579 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2580
2581         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2582
2583         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2584         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2585
2586 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2587
2588         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2589         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2590         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2591         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2592         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
2593         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2594         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2595         to go here.

2597 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2598
2599         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2600         is now a fluid.
2601
2602 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2603
2604         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2605         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2606         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
2607         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
2608         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2609         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2610
2611 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2612
2613         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2614         usefully so they will work from a script.
2615
2616 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2617
2618         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2619         neighborhood of the record code.
2620
2621 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2622
2623         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
2624         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2625         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2626         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2627
2628 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2629
2630         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2631         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2632         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2633
2634 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2635
2636         Add support for readline function.
2637         * readline.scm: New module.
2638         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2639         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2640         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2641         anything.
2642         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2643         repl-reader to use them.
2644         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2645
2646         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2647
2648 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2649
2650         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2651         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2652
2653 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2654
2655         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2656         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2657         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2658
2659 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2660
2661         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
2662         #f, abort terminates the process.
2663         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2664         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
2665
2666 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2667
2668         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2669         print-state, throw it away.
2670
2671 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2672
2673         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2674         `0'.
2675
2676 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2677
2678         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2679         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2680         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2681         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2682         user field).
2683         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2684         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2685
2686 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2687
2688         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2689
2690 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2691
2692         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2693         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2694         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2695         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2696         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2697         boot-9.scm.
2698         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2699         distribution and installation.
2700         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2701
2702 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2703
2704         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
2705
2706 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2707
2708         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2709         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
2710         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2711
2712         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2713         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2714         symbol.
2715
2716 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2717
2718         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
2719
2720         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.

2724         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2725         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2726         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2727         field a separate argument.
2728
2729         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2730
2731 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2732
2733         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2734
2735         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
2736         vicinity;
2737         Provide defmacro.
2738
2739 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2744
2745         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2746         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2747         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2748         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2749         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
2750         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2751         registered.
2752         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2753         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2754         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2755         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2756         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2757         link a .so-file.

2769
2770         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2771
2772         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2773         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2774         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
2775         expansion inside the slib module.
2776
2777         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
2778         constructors.

2784         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
2785         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2786
2787         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2788         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2789         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2790         source.
2791         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2792         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2793         been loaded.
2794
2795 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
2796
2797         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
2798         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
2799         `use-syntax'.
2800         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
2801
2802         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

2804         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
2805         mutator for module-associated transformer.
2806         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
2807         `scm:eval-transformer'.
2808         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
2809         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
2810         module.
2811         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
2812
2813 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2814
2815         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2816
2817         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2818         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2819         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2820         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2821         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2822
2823         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2824         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2825         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2826         syncase macros.
2827         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2828         the syncase interface.
2829
2830 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2831
2832         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2833         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2834         workings of the current module system).
2835
2836 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2837
2838         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2839         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
2840         off!
2841
2842 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2847
2848 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2849
2850         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2851         according to the following priorities:
2852         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2853         2. bindings from the-scm-module
2854         3. tcl bindings
2855         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2856         disabling the scheme interpreter.
2857         (new-interpreter): New function.
2858
2859         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2860         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2861         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
2862

2878
2879         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2880         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
2881         source!
2882
2883 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

2890         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
2891         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2892         in stack-ref).
2893
2894         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2895         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2896         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2897         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2898         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2899         result protocol;

2914
2915         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2916         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2917         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2918
2919         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
2920
2921         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

2936
2937         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2938         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2939         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2940
2941         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2942         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2943         the top.
2944
2945         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2946         order to narrow it correctly.

2959
2960         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2961         builtin `with-fluids*'.
2962
2963 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2964
2965         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2966         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
2967         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2968
2969 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2970
2971         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
2972         automatically.

2975
2976         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
2977         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
2978         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
2979         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
2980         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
2981
2982 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2983
2984         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
2985         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
2986         a default of /.
2987
2988         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
2989
2990 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

2992         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
2993         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
2994         notation, instead of #/ notation.

2997         make-regexp.
2998
2999 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3000
3001         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3002         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3003         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
3004         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3005         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3006         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3007
3008         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3009         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3010         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3011         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3012
3013 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3014
3015         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3016         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
3017         sending in bug reports.
3018         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3019         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3020         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3021         display a warning if the two are different.
3022         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3023         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3024         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3025
3026 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3027
3028         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
3029
3030 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3031
3032         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3033         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3034
3035         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3036         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3037         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3038         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3039         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3040         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3041         that's okay.
3042
3043         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
3044         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3045         regexp interface.
3046
3047         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3048         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
3049
3050         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3051         function names.
3052
3053         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3054         fixes.
3055
3056 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3057
3058         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3059         ../configure.in.
3060
3061 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3062
3063         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3064         vtable and not the one of the struct.
3065
3066 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3067
3068         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3069         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3070         to support printing of structures.
3071         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3072         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
3073         commented out printing code.
3074         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3075         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
3076
3077 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3078
3079         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3080
3081 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3082
3083         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3084         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3085         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3086         during call to scm-style-repl.
3087
3088 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3089
3090         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3091         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3092         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3093         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3094         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3095
3096 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3097
3098         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3099         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3100         (ice-9 regex).
3101
3102 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3103
3104         * regex.scm: New file.
3105         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3106         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3107
3108 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3109
3110         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

3118         in 1997.
3119
3120 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3121
3122         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3123         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3124         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3125
3126 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3127
3128         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3129         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3130         here.
3131
3132 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3133
3134         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

3141
3142         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3143         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3144         fixes this too.
3145
3146 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3147
3148         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3149         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3150         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3151
3152 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3153
3154         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3155         the Scheme code like code yet.
3156         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3157
3158 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3159
3160         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3161         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3162         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3163
3164 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3165
3166         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3167         use-modules macro
3168         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3169         can't be found.
3170
3171 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3172
3173         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3174
3175 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3176
3177         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3178
3179         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3180         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3181         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3182

3190         no plugins.
3191         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3192         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

3203 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3204
3205         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3206         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).

3209
3210         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3211         instead of in libguile.
3212         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3213         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3214
3215 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3216

3218         procedures.

3222 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3223
3224         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3225         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3226
3227 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3228
3229         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3230         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3231         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3232         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3233
3234 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3235
3236         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3237         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3238

3246         keywords and symbols.
3247
3248 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

3256         (read-sharp): removed.
3257         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take

3268         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.

3270 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3271
3272         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3273
3274 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3275
3276         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3277
3278 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3279
3280         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3281         read gets EOF.
3282         * (exit): alias for quit.
3283
3284 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3285
3286         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3287         return the quit args.
3288         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3289         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3290         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3291
3292         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3293
3294 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3295
3296         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3297
3298         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3299         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3300
3301         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3302         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3303
3304         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3305         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3306         of handlers.
3307
3308 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3309
3310         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3311
3312         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3313         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3314         Change hooks to use these functions.
3315
3316         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3317         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3318         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3319         the source! :-)
3320         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3321         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3322         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3323         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3324         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3325         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3326         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3327         traced.
3328
3329         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3330         and exit-frame exceptions.
3331
3332         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3333         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3334         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3335         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3336         result; otherwise display "> ".
3337         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3338
3339         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3340         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3341         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3342         repository version runnable.
3343
3344 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3345
3346         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3347         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3348         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3349         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3350         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3351         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3352
3353 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3354
3355         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3356         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3357         and eval.
3358         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3359         "defined?".
3360         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3361         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3362
3363 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3364
3365         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3366
3367 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3368
3369         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3370         %read-sharp layer.
3371
3372 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3373
3374         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3375         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3376
3377 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3378
3379         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3380         backtrace.c.)
3381
3382 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3383
3384         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3385         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3386
3387 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3388
3389         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3390
3391         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3392         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3393         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3394         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3395         dynamic linking of modules.
3396         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3397         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3398
3399 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3400
3401         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3402
3403 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3404
3405         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3406         that's what it is.
3407
3408         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3409         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3410         was false.
3411
3412 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3413
3414         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3415         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3416         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3417
3418 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3419
3420         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3421         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
3422         yet.
3423
3424 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3425
3426         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3427         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3428         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3429
3430 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3431
3432         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3433         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3434         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3435         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3436
3437         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3438         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3439         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3440         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3441         (such as the-scm-module).
3442
3443 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3444
3445         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3446         %search-load-path.
3447
3448 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
3449
3450         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3451         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3452         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3453
3454 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3455
3456         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3457         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3458         function, use it accordingly.
3459
3460 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3461
3462         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
3463         function of no arguments.
3464         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3465         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3466         set-current-module): Uses changed.
3467         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3468         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3469         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3470         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3471         *top-level-eval-closure*.
3472
3473 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3474
3475         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3476         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3477
3478 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3479
3480         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3481         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3482         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
3483         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
3484         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3485
3486         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3487         `*features*'.
3488
3489         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3490         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
3491         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3492         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3493
3494         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3495
3496         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3497
3498         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3499         If the user wants to see this, he can do
3500         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3501
3502         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3503         error.
3504
3505         Added `before-read-hook'.
3506
3507         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3508
3509         (provide): New function.
3510
3511         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3512         in backtraces.
3513
3514         (backtrace): New function.
3515
3516         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3517         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3518         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
3519         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3520         is found in operator position in a frame.
3521
3522         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3523         by default.
3524
3525         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3526         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3527         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3528
3529         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
3530
3531         (library-vicinity): Updated.
3532
3533         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3534
3535         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3536
3537 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3538
3539         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3540
3541         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3542         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
3543
3544         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3545         so they'll get distributed.
3546
3547         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
3548         should see as little clutter as possible.
3549         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3550         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3551         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3552
3553         * r4rs.scm: New file.
3554         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3555         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3556         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3557         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3558         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3559         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3560         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3561         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3562         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3563         that are not.
3564         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3565         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3566
3567         * test.scm: New file.
3568
3569         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3570         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
3571         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3572
3573         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3574         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3575
3576         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3577         work now.
3578         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
3579         call %load-announce.
3580
3581 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3582
3583         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3584         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3585         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3586         components.
3587         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3588
3589 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3590
3591         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3592         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3593         SCSH (which this isn't).
3594
3595 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3596
3597         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3598
3599 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3600
3601         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3602         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3603         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3604         these.
3605         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
3606         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
3607         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3608         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into

3611 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3612
3613         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3614
3615         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3616
3617         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3618         error-catching-loop.
3619         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3620         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3621         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3622
3623         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3624         error-catching-loop.
3625
3626 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3627
3628         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3629         (make-module): Rework for readability.
3630         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3631         should be '(), not #f.
3632
3633         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3634         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3635
3636 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3637
3638         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3639         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3640         error-signal.
3641
3642 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3643
3644         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3645         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3646         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3647         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3648
3649 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3650
3651         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3652
3653 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3654
3655         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3656
3657         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3658         throw-handler-default.
3659         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3660         reported.
3661         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3662         acro.
3663         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3664         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3665
3666 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3667
3668         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3669         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3670         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3671         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3672

3674
3675         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3676         Append "." to the default %load-path.
3677         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3678         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3679         ...))
3680         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3681         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3682         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3683         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3684         file-is-directory?
3685
3686 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3687
3688         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3689
3690         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3691         distribution.
3692
3693         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3694         `switch-repl'.
3695
3696         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3697
3698 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3699
3700         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3701         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3702
3703 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3704
3705         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3706
3707         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3708
3709 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3710
3711         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
3712         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3713         Don't set up 'error as a key.
3714         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3715         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3716
3717         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3718         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3719         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3720         they seem redundant.
3721         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3722         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
3723         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3724         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
3725         directly files starting with "/").
3726         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3727         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3728
3729         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3730
3731 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3732
3733         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3734         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3735         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
3736         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3737         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3738         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3739         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
3740         robust to just do it in the C code.
3741
3742 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3743
3744         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
3745         %try-load itself was the primitive.
3746         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3747         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3748         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3749
3750 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3751
3752         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3753         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3754         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3755
3756 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3757
3758         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3759         system-error, not every kind of error.
3760         (scm-error): new procedure.
3761
3762 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3763
3764         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3765
3766 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3767
3768         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3769         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
3770         of args are supplied.
3771         (%%system-errors): removed.
3772         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3773         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3774         %%handle-system-error.
3775         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3776         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3777         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3778         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3779
3780 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3781
3782         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3783         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3784         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3785         %S (embed an argument using "write").
3786
3787 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3788
3789         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3790         the empty list if they are #f.
3791         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3792
3793 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3794
3795         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3796
3797         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3798         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3799         aborting, just the key and subr.
3800         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3801         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3802         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
3803
3804 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3805
3806         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3807         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
3808         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3809         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3810         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
3811
3812 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3813
3814         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
3815         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
3816         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
3817         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
3818
3819 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3820
3821         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
3822         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
3823         initialize %load-path.
3824
3825         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3826         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
3827
3828 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3829
3830         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3831         Add the directory named after the version number.
3832         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
3833         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
3834         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
3835         sitedatadir): New definitions.
3836         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

3840
3841 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3842
3843         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3844         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3845         in the Makefile directly.
3846         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3847         for these.
3848         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
3849         aux_files.

3851         here, where people expect to find them.

3856         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
3857
3858         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
3859
3860 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3861
3862         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
3863         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)
3864
3865 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3866
3867         * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):

3879         (%open-file): removed.
3880         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
3881         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
3882
3883 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3884
3885         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
3886         (manifest): Deleted.
3887         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
3888         directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
3889
3890 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3891
3892         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
3893         now that they throw errors directly.
3894         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
3895         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
3896
3897 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3898
3899         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
3900
