  27

  29
  30         * format.scm (format:fn-max): Increase to 400 so ~f and ~g can

  32         exponents.
  33
  34 2002-05-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

  39
  40         * gap-buffer.scm: New file.
  41

  43

  61
  62 2002-02-24  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
  63
  64         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
  65         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
  66         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
  67
  68         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.

  80 2002-01-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  81
  82         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
  83         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
  84         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
  85         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
  86
  87 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  88

  92         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
  93         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.

  96
  97         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have
  98         these in the core.
  99
 100 2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 101

 103         scm_compile_shell_switches.
 104
 105         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
 106         positions.
 107
 108 2001-10-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 109
 110         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 111         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 112         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 113
 114         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,
 115           channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,
 116           expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, ls.scm, mapping.scm,
 117           null.scm, optargs.scm, poe.scm, popen.scm, pretty-print.scm,
 118           q.scm, r5rs.scm, rdelim.scm, regex.scm, runq.scm, safe-r5rs.scm,
 119           safe.scm, session.scm, slib.scm, streams.scm, string-fun.scm,
 120           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
 121           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 122           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 123           exporting bindings.
 124
 125 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 126
 127         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
 128         :re-export-syntax
 129
 130 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 131
 132         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 133         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 134         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 135         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 136
 137 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 138
 139         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
 140         %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,
 141         %%apropos-internal): Use module-define! instead of
 142         builtin-variable.

 145
 146         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.
 147
 148 2001-09-19  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>
 149
 150         * expect.scm: Commentary fix; nfc.
 151
 152         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
 153
 154 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 155
 156         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 157         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
 158
 159 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 160
 161         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 162         the `arglist' procedure property.
 163         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 164         present a more detailed argument list.
 165
 166         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 167
 168 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 169
 170         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
 171         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel
 172         Skarda.

 174 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 175
 176         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
 177
 178         (feature?): Deprecated.
 179
 180         (id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags,
 181         eval-in-module, split-c-module-name,
 182         (convert-c-registered-modules, registered-modules,
 183         register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation, init-dynamic-module,
 184         dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 185         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 186         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 187         try-module-dynamic-link): Removed.

 193         functionality.
 194
 195         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
 196         needed to trick export.
 197
 198 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 199
 200         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.
 201
 202 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 203
 204         * and-let-star-compat.scm:  Deleted.

 207
 208 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 209
 210         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
 211         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
 212         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
 213
 214 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 215
 216         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
 217         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
 218
 219 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 220
 221         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

 236         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
 237
 238         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'

 241
 242 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
 243
 244         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
 245         handle :use-syntax correctly.
 246
 247 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 248
 249         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in

 253
 254         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
 255         maintainer mode.  Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
 256         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
 257         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
 258         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
 259
 260 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 261
 262         * and-let-star.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm, history.scm,
 263         lineio.scm, null.scm, optargs.scm, r4rs.scm, r5rs.scm,
 264         receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
 265
 266 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 267
 268         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 269         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
 270
 271 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 272
 273         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
 274         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
 275         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
 276         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
 277
 278         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 279         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
 280         since there aren't definitions for them.
 281
 282         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
 283         argument is "renamer" not "rename".

 286
 287         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
 288         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
 289
 290 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 291
 292         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
 293         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
 294
 295 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 296
 297         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
 298         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
 299         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
 300
 301 2001-06-30  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

 311
 312         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
 313         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
 314         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
 315         New.
 316
 317 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 318
 319         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
 320         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
 321
 322 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 323
 324         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
 325         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
 326
 327         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
 328         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by

 332
 333         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.

 342
 343 2001-06-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 344
 345         * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
 346         `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
 347
 348 2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 349
 350         * match.scm:
 351         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
 352         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
 353         No longer require `pretty-print'.
 354
 355         (slib:error): Delete.
 356         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
 357

 367 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 368
 369         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
 370         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
 371         rdelim) module.  See below.
 372
 373 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 374
 375         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
 376         include-deprecated-features is true.
 377
 378 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 379
 380         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
 381         unknown objects.
 382
 383         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
 384         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
 385         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 386
 387         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
 388         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of

 392 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 393
 394         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
 395         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
 396         variable, not just a visible one.
 397         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
 398         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
 399         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
 400         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
 401         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
 402         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
 403         variables.
 404         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
 405
 406         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
 407         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
 408
 409 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 410
 411         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
 412         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
 413
 414 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 415
 416         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.

 418 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 419
 420         Added exception notice to all files.
 421
 422         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
 423         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
 424         importing bindings once in a while.
 425
 426 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 427
 428         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
 429         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.

 431         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
 432         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 433         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 434         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 435         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
 436         message.
 437         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
 438         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
 439
 440 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 441
 442         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and

 445         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
 446         to access unbound variables.
 447
 448         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
 449         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
 450         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
 451         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
 452         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
 453
 454 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 455
 456         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
 457         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
 458         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
 459         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
 460         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
 461         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
 462         argument for process-define-module.
 463         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
 464         arguments for process-use-modules.
 465         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.

 470         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.

 472         module.
 473

 475         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.

 506
 507         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.

 510         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 511
 512         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
 513

 518         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
 519         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
 520         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on

 530         cleanup; nfc.
 531         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
 532         now accepts arg; update callers.

 534         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
 535
 536         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
 537         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
 538         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
 539         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
 540         `search-documentation-files'.
 541         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'

 571         (apropos-fold): Likewise.

 574         the magical undefined value.
 575         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
 576         the default default for bindings.
 577
 578         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
 579         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 580         (root-module-closure): Removed.
 581         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 582         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.

 584         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 585         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.  Set the
 586         eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
 587         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
 588         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 589         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
 590         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
 591         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
 592         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
 593         `set-current-module' call.
 594         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
 595         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.

 631         (process-define-module): Use "define-module" in error messages

 633         Rewrite `use-module' and `use-syntax' handlers.
 634         Replace some single-arm `if-not' constructs w/ `or'.
 635         (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
 636         which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
 637         (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use

 825         buffered input procedure.  Does not assume that a newline

 875
 876         * boot-9.scm (save-stack): Use `primitive-eval' for stack
 877         cutting.  Makes backtraces work again!  Also added a reference to
 878         save-stack from the place in the repl where the primitive-eval
 879         frame is invoked.
 880
 881 2001-02-25  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

 906         (named-module-use!): New function.
 907         (top-repl): Do not use `define-module'.  Use equivalent low-level

 922
 923         Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
 924         operating systems.

 932         "and-let*.scm", ignoring errors.
 933         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute `and-let-star-compat.scm'.
 934
 935 2001-01-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 936
 937         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
 938         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
 939
 940         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
 941         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
 942
 943         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
 944         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
 945
 946 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 947
 948         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
 949         in C for now.
 950         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
 951         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
 952
 953 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 954
 955         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
 956         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
 957         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
 958         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
 959         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
 960         for now.
 961         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
 962         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
 963
 964 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 965
 966         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
 967         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
 968         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
 969         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
 970         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
 971         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
 972         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
 973

 975
 976         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only

 978
 979 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 980
 981         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
 982         any more.
 983
 984 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 985
 986         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
 987         the-root-module.
 988

 992
 993 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 994

 996         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
 997         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
 998         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
 999         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
1000         split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,

1005         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
1006         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
1007         make-shared-substring.
1008
1009 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1010
1011         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1012         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1013         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1014         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1015         scm-style-repl.
1016
1017 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

1020         and open-output-pipe.
1021
1022 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1023
1024         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1025         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1026         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1027         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1028         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1029         Pirotte for the bug report).
1030         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1031         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
1032
1033 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1034
1035         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.

1043
1044         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
1045         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
1046         patch.
1047
1048 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

1052
1053 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1054
1055         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1056         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1057         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1058
1059         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1060         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1061         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1062         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1063         actual documentation entries themselves.

1077
1078         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
1079         getter-and-setter-syntax,

1092
1093         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
1094         `symbol-append'.
1095         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1096         args.
1097         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1098         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1099         even worked...  /mdj.
1100         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1101         `symbol->string'.
1102         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1103         semantics.

1130         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1131         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1132         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1133         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.

1141         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1142
1143         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1144         syntactic bindings.
1145
1146         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1147         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1148         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
1149         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1150
1151         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
1152
1153         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
1154         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
1155
1156         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
1157
1158         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1159         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1160
1161 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1162
1163         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1164         definition of module-type.
1165
1166         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1167
1168         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1169
1170         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1171         lines.
1172         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1173         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1174
1175 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1176
1177         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
1178
1179 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1180
1181         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
1182         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
1183         Mikael for the suggestion.
1184
1185 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1186
1187         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1188         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1189
1190 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1191
1192         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1193         for export args.
1194
1195 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1196
1197         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
1198
1199 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1200
1201         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1202         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
1203         for the hint.
1204
1205         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
1206         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
1207         tail recursive yet.
1208
1209 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1210
1211         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1212         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1213
1214         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1215         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1216         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1217         See NEWS.
1218         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1219
1220         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1221
1222 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1223
1224         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1225         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1226
1227 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1228
1229         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1230         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1231
1232 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1233
1234         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
1235         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1236
1237 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1238
1239         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1240
1241         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1242
1243         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1244
1245 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1246
1247         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1248         '() instead of #f.
1249         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1250         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1251         `the-root-module'.
1252         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1253
1254         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1255         documentation.scm.
1256
1257         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1258         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1259         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1260         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1261         (help): Rewritten.
1262
1263         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1264
1265         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1266
1267 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1268
1269         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1270         (write-all): Removed.
1271         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
1272         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
1273
1274 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
1275
1276         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1277         `proc-documentation'
1278
1279         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
1280         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1281         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1282         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1283         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1284         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1285         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1286         getter...)
1287
1288 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1289
1290         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
1291
1292 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1293
1294         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1295         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
1296         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1297         closure.
1298
1299 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1300
1301         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
1302         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1303         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
1304         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
1305         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1306         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1307         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1308
1309 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1310
1311         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
1312         accept complex numbers as parameter.
1313
1314 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1315
1316         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1317         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
1318
1319 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1320
1321         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1322         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1323         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1324         instead of remove-if when iterating.
1325         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1326         delete-if! when iterating.
1327
1328 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1329
1330         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1331
1332 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1333
1334         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
1335
1336 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1337
1338         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1339         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
1340         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1341         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1342
1343 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1344
1345         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
1346         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1347
1348 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1349
1350         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
1351         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1352         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
1353         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
1354
1355 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1356
1357         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1358         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1359
1360 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1361
1362         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1363         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1364
1365 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1366
1367         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1368         Dirk Hermann!
1369
1370 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1371
1372         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1373         source of the numerous very short changes.
1374
1375 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1376
1377         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1378         public.
1379
1380         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1381         info pages.
1382
1383 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1384
1385         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1386         from slib docs.
1387
1388 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1389
1390         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1391         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1392
1393 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1394
1395         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1396         to string-append.
1397
1398 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1399
1400         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1401         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
1402         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1403
1404 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1405
1406         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1407         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1408         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
1409         Narazaki for this change.
1410
1411 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1412
1413         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1414         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1415         %S.
1416
1417         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1418         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1419
1420 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1421
1422         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1423         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1424
1425 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1426
1427         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1428         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1429         use define-public to export from the module.
1430
1431 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1432
1433         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1434         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1435         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1436
1437 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1438
1439         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1440
1441 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1442
1443         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1444         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1445
1446 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1447
1448         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1449
1450         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1451
1452         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1453
1454 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1455
1456         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1457         long_long uniform vectors.
1458
1459 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1460
1461         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1462         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
1463
1464 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1465
1466         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
1467         script to create generated files like this one.
1468
1469 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1470
1471         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1472         available before using getpw and getuid.
1473         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1474         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1475         check for stat.
1476         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1477         check for .guile, instead of stat.
1478         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1479         available.
1480         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
1481         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1482         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1483
1484         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
1485         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1486
1487         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1488
1489 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1490
1491         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
1492         than 'exit-debugger.
1493
1494         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1495         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1496
1497         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1498
1499 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1500
1501         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
1502         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1503         ("position"): New command.
1504         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1505         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
1506         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
1507         to return a valid state.)
1508         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.

1510 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1511
1512         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1513         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
1514         Badros.)
1515
1516 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1517
1518         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1519         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1520
1521 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1522
1523         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
1524
1525         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
1526
1527         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
1528         (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
1529
1530         * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
1531         display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
1532         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
1533         expression.
1534         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
1535         Handle errors.
1536
1537 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1538
1539         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1540         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1541
1542         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1543
1544 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1545
1546         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1547         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1548         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1549         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1550
1551         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1552         argument.
1553
1554         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1555         both forward and backward views of the stack
1556         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1557         Use selector `frame-number';
1558         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1559         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1560         Use (ice-9 debug).
1561         Use readline conditionally.
1562
1563 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1564
1565         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1566         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1567         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1568
1569         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1570         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
1571         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
1572
1573 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1574
1575         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1576
1577         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1578
1579         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1580
1581         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1582
1583 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1584
1585         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1586         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
1587         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
1588         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1589         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1590         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1591         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1592         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1593         libguile-config-stamp.
1594         * version.scm.in: Delete.
1595         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1596         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1597         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1598         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1599
1600 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1601
1602         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1603         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1604         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1605
1606         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1607         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1608         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1609         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
1610         readline.
1611
1612         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1613
1614 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1615
1616         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1617
1618 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1619
1620         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1621         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1622
1623 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1624
1625         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1626         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1627         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1628         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1629         objects starting with '#/'.
1630
1631 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1632
1633         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1634         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1635         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1636         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1637         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1638         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1639         `observer-id'.
1640         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1641         module-modified): New procedures.
1642         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1643         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1644
1645 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1646
1647         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1648         defines.
1649
1650 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1651
1652         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1653         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1654         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1655
1656         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1657         position.
1658
1659 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1660
1661         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1662         at multiple calls to read.
1663         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1664         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1665         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1666         continued-lines prompt.
1667
1668         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1669         reading expressions.
1670
1671 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1672
1673         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1674         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1675
1676 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1677
1678         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1679         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
1680         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1681
1682         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1683
1684         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1685         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1686
1687         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1688         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
1689         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1690         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1691         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1692         instead of a port.
1693
1694 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1695
1696         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1697         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1698
1699         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1700
1701         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
1702         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
1703         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1704         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1705
1706         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1707
1708         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1709
1710         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
1711         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1712         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
1713         an alist.
1714
1715         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1716
1717         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1718         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1719         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1720         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1721         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1722         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1723         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1724         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1725         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1726         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1727         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
1728
1729         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1730
1731         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1732         peeked from the stream.
1733         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1734         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1735         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1736
1737         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1738
1739         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1740         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1741
1742         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1743
1744         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1745         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
1746         exiting repl with single control-D.
1747
1748         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1749
1750         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1751         error catching loop after quit received.
1752         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1753
1754         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1755         primitive exit if non-interactive.
1756         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1757
1758         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1759         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1760         boot-9.scm.
1761         * popen.scm: new file.
1762
1763 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1764
1765        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
1766        (reverse-iota):  removed.
1767
1768 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1769
1770         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1771         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1772
1773 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1774
1775         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1776         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1777         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1778         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1779         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1780
1781 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1782
1783         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1784
1785         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1786         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1787
1788         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1789         Guile's module system.
1790
1791         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1792         changes:
1793         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1794         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1795         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1796         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
1797         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1798         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1799         modern CL behavior.
1800         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1801         '() when the condition is false.
1802
1803 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1804
1805         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1806
1807 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1808
1809         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1810
1811 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1812
1813         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1814         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1815         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1816
1817 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1818
1819         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1820         argument order for hash-fold.
1821
1822 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1823
1824         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
1825         resolve-module.
1826         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1827         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1828
1829         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1830         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1831         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1832         has been added to the load path).
1833
1834         Use try-load-module.
1835
1836 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1837
1838         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
1839         module between system and user state.
1840
1841 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1842
1843         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1844
1845         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1846         definition.
1847
1848 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1849
1850         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1851         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1852         system can create a wrapper class for it.
1853

1855
1856         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1857         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
1858         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1859         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1860         stack frame encountered.
1861
1862         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1863         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1864         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1865         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1866         list).]
1867
1868         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1869         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1870         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1871         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
1872         please tell me!]
1873
1874         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1875         define-module switches:
1876
1877         (define-module (foo)
1878           :no-backtrace)
1879
1880         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1881         modules.
1882
1883         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1884         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1885         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
1886         module it is a system frame.
1887
1888         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1889         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1890         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1891         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
1892         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1893
1894         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1895         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
1896         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1897         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1898         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
1899         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1900
1901         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1902         status of a module.;
1903         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.

1921
1922         Fix from Russ McManus:
1923         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1924         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1925         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1926         either an optional or required value.
1927
1928 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1929
1930         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1931
1932         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1933         of the '() key, not `rest'.
1934
1935         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1936         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1937         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.

1943         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1944         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1945
1946 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1947
1948         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.

1951
1952 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1953
1954         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1955         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1956         for isn't loaded.
1957
1958 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1959
1960         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1961
1962 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1963
1964         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1965         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1966         applied to the module itself.
1967
1968 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1969
1970         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1971
1972         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
1973         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1974
1975 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1982
1983 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1984
1985         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1986         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1987
1988 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1989
1990         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1991         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1992         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1993         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1994         among BINDINGS is referenced.
1995         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
1996         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1997
1998 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1999
2000         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2001         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2002
2003 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2004
2005         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2006         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2007         static libraries.
2008
2009 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2010
2011         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2012
2013 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2014
2015         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2016
2017 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2018
2019         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2020         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2021         adapt to the new hooks.
2022
2023 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2024
2025         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2026         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2027         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2028         code.
2029         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2030         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2031
2032         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2033         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2034         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2035         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2036         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2037         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2038         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2039         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2040         first to register linked modules.
2041
2042         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2043         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2044         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2045
2046         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2047         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2048         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2049         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2050
2051         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2052         to use from C:
2053         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2054         libguile/feature.c.
2055
2056         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2057         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2058         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2059
2060 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2061
2062         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2063         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2064         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2065
2066 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2067
2068         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2069         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2070         result of the last form.
2071
2072 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2073
2074         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2075         syncase.scm.
2076
2077         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2078
2079         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2080         readline-set!: New options interface.
2081
2082         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2083
2084 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2085
2086         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2087         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2088
2089 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2090
2091         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2092         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2093
2094 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2095
2096         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2097         interactive session.
2098         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2099
2100         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2101         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2102
2103 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2104
2105         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2106
2107 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2108
2109         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2110         read line was empty.
2111
2112 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2113
2114         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2115         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2116
2117         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2118
2119         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2120         problem.  Duh.
2121         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2122         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2123         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2124
2125         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2126         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2127         into...
2128         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2129         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2130         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2131
2132         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2133         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2134         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2135         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2136         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2137         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2138         psyntax.ss.
2139         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2140
2141         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2142         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2143
2144 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2145
2146         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2147         and short vectors #h(...).
2148
2149 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2150
2151         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2152         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2153         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2154
2155 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2156
2157         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2158         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2159         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2160
2161 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2162
2163         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2164         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2165
2166         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2167         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2168         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2169         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2170
2171 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2172
2173         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2174         trace flag.
2175
2176         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2177         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2178         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2179         context with traps enabled.
2180
2181 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2182
2183         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2184         module.
2185         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2186
2187 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2188
2189         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2190         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2191         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2192         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2193         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2194
2195 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2196
2197         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2198         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2199
2200 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2201
2202         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2203
2204 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2205
2206         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2207
2208 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2209
2210         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2211
2212 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2213
2214         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2215         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2216
2217 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2218
2219         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2220         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2221         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2222         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
2223         Archibald.)
2224
2225         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2226         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2227         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2228
2229 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2230
2231         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2232         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2233         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2234         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
2235         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2236         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2237         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2238
2239 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2240
2241         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2242
2243 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2244
2245         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2246         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2247         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
2248         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2249         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2250         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2251
2252 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2253
2254         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2255         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2256         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
2257         Steven G. Johnson.)
2258
2259 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2260
2261         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2262
2263 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2264
2265         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2266
2267 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2268
2269         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2270         be completed.
2271
2272 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2273
2274         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2275
2276 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2277
2278         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2279         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2280
2281 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2282
2283         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2284         similar in use to `use-modules'.
2285         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2286         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2287         transformer.
2288         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2289         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2290
2291 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2292
2293         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2294
2295 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2296
2297         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2298         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2299         completion.
2300
2301         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2302         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2303
2304         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2305         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2306         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2307
2308         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2309
2310 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2311
2312         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2313
2314         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2315         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2316
2317 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2318
2319         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2320
2321 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2322
2323         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
2324         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2325
2326         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2327
2328         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
2329         obsolete.
2330
2331 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2332
2333         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2334         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2335
2336 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2337
2338         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2339
2340 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2341
2342         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
2343         Stachowiak.)
2344
2345 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2346
2347         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2348         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
2349         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2350         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2351         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2352         threads.
2353
2354 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2355
2356         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2357         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2358         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2359
2360 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2361
2362         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2363
2364         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2365         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2366
2367 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2368
2369         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2370         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2371         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2372         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2373         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
2374         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2375         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2376         to go here.
2377
2378 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2379
2380         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2381         is now a fluid.
2382
2383 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2384
2385         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2386         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2387         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
2388         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
2389         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2390         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2391
2392 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2393
2394         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2395         usefully so they will work from a script.
2396
2397 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2398
2399         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2400         neighborhood of the record code.
2401
2402 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2403
2404         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
2405         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2406         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2407         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2408
2409 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2410
2411         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2412         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2413         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2414
2415 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2416
2417         Add support for readline function.
2418         * readline.scm: New module.
2419         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2420         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2421         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2422         anything.
2423         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2424         repl-reader to use them.
2425         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2426
2427         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2428
2429 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2430
2431         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2432         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2433
2434 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2435
2436         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2437         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2438         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2439
2440 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2441
2442         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
2443         #f, abort terminates the process.
2444         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2445         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
2446
2447 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2448
2449         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2450         print-state, throw it away.
2451
2452 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2453
2454         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2455         `0'.
2456
2457 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2458
2459         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2460         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2461         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2462         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2463         user field).
2464         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2465         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2466
2467 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2468
2469         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2470
2471 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2472
2473         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2474         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2475         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2476         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2477         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2478         boot-9.scm.
2479         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2480         distribution and installation.
2481         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2482
2483 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2484
2485         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
2486
2487 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2488
2489         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2490         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
2491         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2492
2493         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2494         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2495         symbol.
2496
2497 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2498
2499         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
2500
2501         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
2502
2503 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2504
2505         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2506         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2507         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2508         field a separate argument.
2509
2510         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2511
2512 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2513
2514         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2515
2516         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
2517         vicinity;
2518         Provide defmacro.
2519
2520 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2521
2522         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
2523
2524 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2525
2526         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2527         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2528         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2529         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2530         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
2531         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2532         registered.
2533         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2534         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2535         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2536         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2537         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2538         link a .so-file.
2539
2540 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2541
2542         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
2543
2544 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2545
2546         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
2547         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
2548
2549 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2550
2551         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2552
2553         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2554         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2555         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
2556         expansion inside the slib module.
2557
2558         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
2559         constructors.

2564         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
2565         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
2566         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2567
2568         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2569         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2570         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2571         source.
2572         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2573         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2574         been loaded.
2575
2576 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

2583         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

2585         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
2586         mutator for module-associated transformer.
2587         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set

2590         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
2591         module.

2593
2594 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2595
2596         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2597
2598         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2599         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2600         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2601         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2602         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.

2607         syncase macros.
2608         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2609         the syncase interface.
2610
2611 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2612
2613         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2614         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2615         workings of the current module system).
2616
2617 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2618
2619         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2620         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
2621         off!
2622
2623 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2628
2629 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2630
2631         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2632         according to the following priorities:
2633         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2634         2. bindings from the-scm-module
2635         3. tcl bindings
2636         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2637         disabling the scheme interpreter.
2638         (new-interpreter): New function.
2639
2640         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2641         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2642         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
2643
2644 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

2651
2652 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2653
2654         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New

2659
2660         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2661         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
2662         source!
2663
2664 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

2671         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
2672         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2673         in stack-ref).
2674
2675         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2676         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2677         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2678         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2679         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2680         result protocol;

2682         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.

2690         procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
2691

2693
2694 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2695
2696         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2697         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2698         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2699
2700         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
2701
2702         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
2703         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
2704         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
2705
2706 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2707

2709         (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.
2710
2711 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2712
2713         * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
2714         cstime.
2715
2716 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2717
2718         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2719         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2720         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2721
2722         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2723         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2724         the top.
2725
2726         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2727         order to narrow it correctly.
2728         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
2729
2730 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2731
2732         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
2733         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
2734
2735 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2736
2737         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
2738
2739 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2740
2741         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2742         builtin `with-fluids*'.
2743
2744 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2745
2746         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2747         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
2748         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2749
2750 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2751
2752         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
2753         automatically.
2754
2755 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2756
2757         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
2758         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
2759         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
2760         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
2761         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
2762
2763 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2764
2765         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
2766         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
2767         a default of /.
2768
2769         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
2770
2771 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2772
2773         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
2774         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
2775         notation, instead of #/ notation.

2778         make-regexp.
2779

2781
2782         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2783         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2784         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
2785         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2786         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2787         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2788
2789         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2790         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2791         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2792         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2793
2794 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2795
2796         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2797         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
2798         sending in bug reports.
2799         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2800         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2801         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2802         display a warning if the two are different.
2803         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2804         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2805         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2806
2807 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2808
2809         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
2810
2811 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2812
2813         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2814         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2815
2816         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2817         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2818         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2819         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2820         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2821         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2822         that's okay.
2823
2824         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
2825         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2826         regexp interface.
2827
2828         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2829         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
2830
2831         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2832         function names.
2833
2834         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2835         fixes.
2836
2837 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2838
2839         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2840         ../configure.in.
2841
2842 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2843
2844         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2845         vtable and not the one of the struct.
2846
2847 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2848
2849         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2850         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2851         to support printing of structures.
2852         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2853         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
2854         commented out printing code.
2855         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2856         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2857
2858 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2859
2860         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2861
2862 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2863
2864         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2865         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2866         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2867         during call to scm-style-repl.
2868
2869 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2870
2871         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2872         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2873         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2874         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
2875         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
2876
2877 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2878
2879         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2880         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2881         (ice-9 regex).
2882
2883 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2884
2885         * regex.scm: New file.
2886         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2887         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2888
2889 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2890
2891         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

2898         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2899         in 1997.
2900
2901 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2902
2903         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2904         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
2905         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2906
2907 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2908
2909         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2910         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2911         here.
2912
2913 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2914
2915         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2916
2917 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2918
2919         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2920
2921 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2922
2923         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2924         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2925         fixes this too.
2926
2927 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2928
2929         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2930         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2931         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
2932
2933 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2934
2935         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2936         the Scheme code like code yet.
2937         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2938
2939 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2940
2941         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2942         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
2943         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2944
2945 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2946
2947         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2948         use-modules macro
2949         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2950         can't be found.
2951
2952 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2953
2954         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2955
2956 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2957
2958         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2959
2960         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2961         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2962         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2963
2964 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2965
2966         Get 'make dist' to work again.
2967         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2968         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2969
2970         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2971         no plugins.
2972         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2973         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2974
2975 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2976
2977         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2978         functions.
2979
2980 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2981
2982         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2983
2984 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2985
2986         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2987         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2988
2989 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2990
2991         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2992         instead of in libguile.
2993         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2994         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2995
2996 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2997
2998         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2999         procedures.
3000         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3001         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3002
3003 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3004
3005         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3006         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3007
3008 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3009
3010         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3011         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3012         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3013         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3014
3015 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3016
3017         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3018         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3019
3020 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3021
3022         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3023
3024 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3025
3026         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3027         keywords and symbols.
3028
3029 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3030
3031         * slib.scm: update read usage.
3032
3033         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3034         Don't define read-sharp.
3035
3036         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3037         (read-sharp): removed.
3038         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3039         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3040
3041 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3042
3043         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3044
3045         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
3046         primitive procedure.)
3047
3048         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3049         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3050
3051 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3052
3053         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3054
3055 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3056
3057         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3058
3059 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3060
3061         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3062         read gets EOF.
3063         * (exit): alias for quit.
3064
3065 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3066
3067         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3068         return the quit args.
3069         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3070         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3071         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3072
3073         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3074
3075 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3076
3077         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3078
3079         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3080         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3081
3082         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3083         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3084
3085         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3086         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3087         of handlers.
3088
3089 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3090
3091         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3092
3093         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3094         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3095         Change hooks to use these functions.
3096
3097         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3098         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3099         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3100         the source! :-)
3101         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3102         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3103         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3104         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3105         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3106         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3107         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3108         traced.
3109
3110         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3111         and exit-frame exceptions.
3112
3113         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3114         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3115         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3116         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3117         result; otherwise display "> ".
3118         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3119
3120         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3121         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3122         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3123         repository version runnable.
3124
3125 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3126
3127         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3128         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3129         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3130         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3131         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3132         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3133
3134 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3135
3136         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3137         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3138         and eval.
3139         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3140         "defined?".
3141         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3142         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3143
3144 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3145
3146         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3147
3148 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3149
3150         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3151         %read-sharp layer.
3152
3153 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3154
3155         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3156         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3157
3158 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3159
3160         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3161         backtrace.c.)
3162
3163 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3164
3165         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3166         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3167
3168 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3169
3170         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3171
3172         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3173         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3174         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3175         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3176         dynamic linking of modules.
3177         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3178         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3179
3180 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3181
3182         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3183
3184 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3185
3186         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3187         that's what it is.
3188
3189         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3190         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3191         was false.
3192
3193 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3194
3195         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3196         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3197         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3198
3199 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3200
3201         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3202         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
3203         yet.
3204
3205 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3206
3207         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3208         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3209         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3210
3211 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3212
3213         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3214         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3215         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3216         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3217
3218         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3219         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3220         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3221         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3222         (such as the-scm-module).
3223
3224 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3225
3226         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3227         %search-load-path.
3228
3229 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
3230
3231         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3232         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3233         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3234
3235 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3236
3237         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3238         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3239         function, use it accordingly.
3240
3241 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3242
3243         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
3244         function of no arguments.
3245         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3246         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3247         set-current-module): Uses changed.
3248         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3249         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3250         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3251         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3252         *top-level-eval-closure*.
3253
3254 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3255
3256         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3257         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3258
3259 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3260
3261         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3262         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3263         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
3264         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
3265         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3266
3267         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3268         `*features*'.
3269
3270         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3271         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
3272         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3273         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3274
3275         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3276
3277         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3278
3279         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3280         If the user wants to see this, he can do
3281         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3282
3283         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3284         error.
3285
3286         Added `before-read-hook'.
3287
3288         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3289
3290         (provide): New function.
3291
3292         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3293         in backtraces.
3294
3295         (backtrace): New function.
3296
3297         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3298         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3299         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
3300         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3301         is found in operator position in a frame.
3302
3303         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3304         by default.
3305
3306         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3307         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3308         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3309
3310         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
3311
3312         (library-vicinity): Updated.
3313
3314         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3315
3316         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3317
3318 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3319
3320         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3321
3322         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3323         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
3324
3325         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3326         so they'll get distributed.
3327
3328         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
3329         should see as little clutter as possible.
3330         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3331         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3332         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3333
3334         * r4rs.scm: New file.
3335         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3336         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3337         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3338         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3339         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3340         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3341         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3342         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3343         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3344         that are not.
3345         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3346         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3347
3348         * test.scm: New file.
3349
3350         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3351         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
3352         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3353
3354         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3355         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3356
3357         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3358         work now.
3359         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
3360         call %load-announce.
3361
3362 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3363
3364         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3365         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3366         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3367         components.
3368         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3369
3370 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3371
3372         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3373         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3374         SCSH (which this isn't).
3375
3376 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3377
3378         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3379
3380 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3381
3382         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3383         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3384         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3385         these.
3386         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
3387         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
3388         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3389         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3390         save-stack.
3391
3392 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3393
3394         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3395
3396         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3397
3398         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3399         error-catching-loop.
3400         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3401         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3402         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3403
3404         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3405         error-catching-loop.
3406
3407 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3408
3409         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3410         (make-module): Rework for readability.
3411         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3412         should be '(), not #f.
3413
3414         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3415         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3416
3417 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3418
3419         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3420         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3421         error-signal.
3422
3423 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3424
3425         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3426         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3427         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3428         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3429
3430 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3431
3432         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3433
3434 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3435
3436         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3437
3438         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3439         throw-handler-default.
3440         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3441         reported.
3442         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3443         acro.
3444         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3445         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3446
3447 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3448
3449         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3450         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3451         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3452         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3453
3454 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3455
3456         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3457         Append "." to the default %load-path.
3458         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3459         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3460         ...))
3461         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3462         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3463         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3464         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3465         file-is-directory?
3466
3467 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3468
3469         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3470
3471         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3472         distribution.
3473
3474         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3475         `switch-repl'.
3476
3477         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3478
3479 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3480
3481         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3482         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3483
3484 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3485
3486         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3487
3488         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3489
3490 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3491
3492         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
3493         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3494         Don't set up 'error as a key.
3495         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3496         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3497
3498         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3499         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3500         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3501         they seem redundant.
3502         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3503         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
3504         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3505         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
3506         directly files starting with "/").
3507         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3508         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3509
3510         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3511
3512 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3513
3514         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3515         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3516         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
3517         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3518         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3519         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3520         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
3521         robust to just do it in the C code.
3522
3523 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3524
3525         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
3526         %try-load itself was the primitive.
3527         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3528         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3529         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3530
3531 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3532
3533         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3534         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3535         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3536
3537 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3538
3539         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3540         system-error, not every kind of error.
3541         (scm-error): new procedure.
3542
3543 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3544
3545         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3546
3547 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3548
3549         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3550         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
3551         of args are supplied.
3552         (%%system-errors): removed.
3553         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3554         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3555         %%handle-system-error.
3556         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3557         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3558         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3559         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3560
3561 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3562
3563         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3564         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3565         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3566         %S (embed an argument using "write").
3567
3568 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3569
3570         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3571         the empty list if they are #f.
3572         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3573
3574 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3575
3576         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3577
3578         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3579         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3580         aborting, just the key and subr.
3581         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3582         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3583         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.

3587         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3588         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
3589         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3590         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3591         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

3623
3624         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the

3627         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3628         for these.

3667         (manifest): Deleted.
3668         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
