* libguile/vm-i-system.c: Remove mark, list-mark, cons-mark,
vector-mark, and list-break, as they are no longer used.
(call, goto/args, mv-call): Remove bits about trampolines, which was
slower, and VM continuations, which are not used (we use Guile's
continuations as the applicable objects).
Renumber ops.
* libguile/_scm.h (SCM_OBJCODE_MINOR_VERSION): Bump.
* module/language/tree-il/compile-glil.scm (compile-glil): Compute
warnings before optimizing, as unreferenced variables will be
optimized out.
* libguile/_scm.h: Fix C99 comment.
* module/language/tree-il/fix-letrec.scm (partition-vars): Also analyze
let-bound vars.
(fix-letrec!): Fix a bug whereby a set! to an unreffed var would be
called for value, not effect. Also "fix" <let>-bound lambda
expressions -- really speeds up pmatch.
* test-suite/tests/tree-il.test ("lexical sets", "the or hack"): Update
to take into account the new optimizations.
* libguile/_scm.h (SCM_OBJCODE_MINOR_VERSION): Bump.
* libguile/vm-engine.c (vm_error_bad_wide_string_length): New error
case.
* libguile/vm-i-loader.c (load-unsigned-integer, load-integer)
(load-keyword): Remove these instructions. The former two are
obsoleted by make-int64/make-uint64, the latter via make-keyword.
(load-string): Only handle narrow strings.
(load-symbol): Only handle narrow symbols. The wide case is handled
via make-symbol.
(load-wide-string): New instruction, for wide strings.
* libguile/vm-i-system.c (define): Move here from loaders.c, as now it
just takes a sym on the stack.
(make-keyword, make-symbol): New instructions.
* module/language/assembly.scm: Remove removed instructions. No more
width byte in load-string etc.
* module/language/assembly/compile-bytecode.scm (write-bytecode): Adapt
to change in instruction set.
* module/language/glil/compile-assembly.scm (glil->assembly): Compile
define by pushing the sym then emitting (define).
(dump-object): Dump narrow and wide strings differently. Use
make-keyword and make-symbol as appropriate.
* module/language/tree-il/compile-glil.scm (flatten): When compiling a
ref to a primitive (not a call), first see if the primitive is
actually bound in the root module. (That's not the case with e.g.
bytevector-u8-ref).
* module/system/xref.scm (program-callee-rev-vars): Don't parse out
"nexts".
* test-suite/tests/asm-to-bytecode.test ("compiler"): Adapt to bytecode
format change.
* libguile/_scm.h (SCM_OBJCODE_COOKIE): Move the objcode cookie define
here, so that load.c can use it. This is a private header.
* libguile/load.c (FALLBACK_DIR): Include the objcode cookie in the
fallback path. Should fix problems when objcode changes incompatibly
during the 1.9 series.
* libguile/objcodes.c: Adapt to SCM_OBJCODE_COOKIE move.
This should fix http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.guile.devel/9059.
As the Autoconf documentation says, "These days portable programs
[...] should not rely on `HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS', since nowadays
whether a system call is restartable is a dynamic issue, not a
configuration-time issue."
In other words, if we ever rely on HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS, we are
at the mercy of any code that Guile happens to be linked with, because
that code could install a signal handler without the SA_RESTART flag,
and then a Guile system call could unexpectedly return EINTR.
The readline part of this goes back to this problem report:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/guile/2000-05/msg00177.html; and is an
excellent example of the above paragraph. It was noted during the
discussion that undefining HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS would fix the
problem, but that solution wasn't adopted - I guess because Guile was
still using cooperative threads then (not pthreads) and so there was a
significant concern (whether founded or not) that not using
restartable syscalls (where available) could lead to a loss of
performance.
Now Guile's default mode of operation is with pthreads, where we
already don't assume that HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS is reliable, so
there is no possible further performance loss. And in any case we
really have no choice, if we want correct operation.
Thanks to Sylvain Beucler for reporting this and suggesting the fix.

* THANKS: Add Sylvain.
* libguile/__scm.h (SCM_ALIGNED): New macro.
* libguile/_scm.h: Include "libguile/strings.h", to make the
string/stringbuf-related constants visible to snarffed code.
* libguile/snarf.h (SCM_SUPPORT_STATIC_ALLOCATION): New macro.
(SCM_SYMBOL, SCM_GLOBAL_SYMBOL)[SCM_SUPPORT_STATIC_ALLOCATION]: New
alternative versions of these macros with support for (almost) static
allocation via the use of `string->symbol'.
(SCM_IMMUTABLE_DOUBLE_CELL, SCM_IMMUTABLE_STRINGBUF,
SCM_IMMUTABLE_STRING): New macros.
* libguile/tags.h (SCM)[SCM_DEBUG_TYPING_STRICTNESS==1]: Use a pointer
type that is compatible with other pointer types, to avoid potential
violation of strict aliasing rules.
forever, and are known to conflict on some platforms with that
provided by <errno.h>, which we include unconditionally. If
<errno.h> doesn't provide a errno declaration, what is the point
of it?
* threads.c (SCM_MARK_BACKING_STORE): Use scm_ia64_ar_bsp() and
scm_ia64_register_backing_store_base() instead of Linux-specific
implementations.
* gc.h (scm_ia64_register_backing_store_base, scm_ia64_ar_bsp):
New declarations.
* gc.c (__libc_ia64_register_backing_store_base): Declaration
removed.
(scm_ia64_register_backing_store_base, scm_ia64_ar_bsp): New, with
implementations for Linux and HP-UX.
* coop-pthreads.c (SCM_MARK_BACKING_STORE): Use scm_ia64_ar_bsp()
and scm_ia64_register_backing_store_base() instead of
Linux-specific implementations.
* continuations.h (__libc_ia64_register_backing_store_base):
Declaration removed.
(scm_t_contregs): New "fresh" field.
* continuations.c (ia64_getcontext): Removed.
(scm_make_continuation): Use continuation fresh field instead of
interpreting getcontext return values (which isn't portable). Use
scm_ia64_ar_bsp() and scm_ia64_register_backing_store_base()
instead of Linux-specific implementations.
(copy_stack_and_call): Use scm_ia64_register_backing_store_base()
instead of Linux-specific implementation.
* _scm.h (__ia64__): Also detect __ia64.
(SCM_NONREC_CRITICAL_SECTION_START,
SCM_NONREC_CRITICAL_SECTION_END, SCM_REC_CRITICAL_SECTION_START,
SCM_REC_CRITICAL_SECTION_END): New macros.
(SCM_CRITICAL_SECTION_START/END): Defined here.
* eval.c: Insert SOURCE_SECTION_START / SOURCE_SECTION_END around
the three calls to scm_m_expand_body.
* gc.h: #include "libguile/pthread-threads.h";
(SCM_FREELIST_CREATE, SCM_FREELIST_LOC): New macros.
* gc.c (scm_i_freelist, scm_i_freelist2): Defined to be of type
scm_t_key;
* gc.c, gc-freelist.c, inline.h: Use SCM_FREELIST_LOC for freelist
access.

* gc-freelist.c, threads.c (really_launch): Use
SCM_FREELIST_CREATE.
* gc-malloc.c (scm_realloc, scm_gc_register_collectable_memory):
* gc.c (scm_i_expensive_validation_check, scm_gc,
scm_gc_for_newcell): Put threads to sleep before doing GC-related
heap administration so that those pieces of code are executed
single-threaded. We might consider rewriting these code sections
in terms of a "call_gc_code_singly_threaded" construct instead of
calling the pair of scm_i_thread_put_to_sleep () and
scm_i_thread_wake_up (). Also, we would want to have as many of
these sections eleminated.
* init.c (scm_init_guile_1): Call scm_threads_prehistory.
* inline.h: #include "libguile/threads.h"
* pthread-threads.h: Macros now conform more closely to the
pthreads interface. Some of them now take a second argument.
* threads.c, threads.h: Many changes.
* configure.in: Temporarily replaced "copt" threads option with new
option "pthreads".
(USE_PTHREAD_THREADS): Define if pthreads configured.

SCM_VELTS() return a const pointer
(SCM_VECTOR_SET): add macro.
* autogen.sh (mscripts): find and check version number of
autoconf. Complain if 2.53 is not found.
* error.c, net_db.c, putenv.c, stime.c: Removed declaration of
errno variable (can be a macro on some systems, for example when
using linux libc with threads).
* error.c, filesys.c, gc.c, ioext.c, iselect.c, net_db.c, ports.c,
posix.c, print.c, putenv.c, scmsigs.c, script.c, simpos.c, smob.c,
socket.c, srcprop.c, stime.c, strop.c, unif.c, vports.c: Added
#include <errno.h> in these 20 out of 100 files.
and we don't want that.
(INCLUDES): Removed all -I options except for the root source
directory and the root build directory.
* *.*: Change includes so that they always use the "prefixes"
libguile/, qt/, guile-readline/, or libltdl/.
(Thanks to Tim Mooney.)
* configure.in: use AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS instead of
testing for SA_RESTART.
1999-09-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
* _scm.h, scmsigs.c: replace HAVE_RESTARTS with
HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS.
* _scm.h: if HAVE_RESTARTS is defined then don't use a SYSCALL
loop.
* posix.c (scm_uname): interpret only negative values as an error.
Solaris normally returns a positive value.
* script.c (scm_compile_shell_switches): if we are not going into
an interactive repl, set scm_mask_ints to zero so that asyncs can
run.
* simpos.c (scm_system): don't ignore/unignore signals around
the "system" call.
* posix.c (scm_open_pipe): don't ignore/unignore signals around
the "popen" call.
* init.c (scm_boot_guile_1): don't call scm_init_signals, it's
done in boot-9.scm instead.
* scmsigs.c, async.c: Major rewriting of signal handling code.
(scm_sigaction): new procedure.
(scm_sleep): don't wrap sleep in SCM_SYSCALL, it would mess up the
timing.
(scm_raise): return unspecified, throw error on failure.
* boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
during call to scm-style-repl.
* acconfig.h: mention HAVE_RESTARTS.
* configure.in: check for sigaction and restartable system calls.
* guile-snarf.sh: New file.
* Makefile.in (inner_h_files): Added snarf.h
(ancillary, install, uninstall, distclean): Added actions for
guile-snarf.
(.c.x): Use guile-snarf.
(guile-snarf): New rule, to produce guile-snarf from guile-snarf.sh.
(gen_c_files): Note that these depend on guile-snarf.
* _scm.h: Removed the snarfing macros (SCM_PROC, etc). They are
now in "snarf.h". Added #include "snarf.h" to get them.
* configure.in: Added guile-snarf to AC_OUTPUT
* libguile.h: Added #include "snarf.h".
