1477

1484
1485 2002-08-02 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>

1513 from gh.texi to data-rep.texi. Both files already had similar
1514 descriptions for SCM. Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
1515 up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
1516 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added
1517 `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1518 added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!
1519
1520 * data-rep.texi (Subrs): Changed scm_make_gsubr to

1568 Blocks): Move malloc-stats to memory management chapter.
1569

1987 * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
1988 that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
1989 becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
1990 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
1991 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1992 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
1993 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
1994 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
1995 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
