When using automake and libtool to build DLLs on Cygwin, libtool
will rename libXXX to cygXXX. 'load-foreign-library' should
emulate libltdl behavior and search for DLLs using that convention.
* module/system/foreign-library.scm (lib->cyg): new helper function
(load-foreign-library): add rename-on-cygwin? option to rename
libraries using Cygwin semantics
* test-suite/tests/foreign.test: new test section 'lib->cyg'
* doc/ref/api-foreign.text: document new rename-on-cygwin? option
for load-foreign-library
* NEWS: Update.
* am/bootstrap.am (SOURCES):
* module/Makefile.am (SOURCES): Add system/foreign-library.scm.
* configure.ac: Replace ltdl check with -ldl check.
* libguile/dynl.c: Rewrite to just expose core dlopen / dlsym / etc to a
helper Scheme module.
(scm_dynamic_link, scm_dynamic_pointer, scm_dynamic_function)
(scm_dynamic_object_p, scm_dynamic_call): Rewrite in terms of (system
foreign-library).
* libguile/extensions.c (load_extension): Avoid scm_dynamic_call.
* module/system/foreign-library.scm: New file.
* module/oop/goops.scm (<dynamic-object>): Hackily export
<foreign-library> instead of a class here.
* doc/ref/api-foreign.texi (Foreign Function Interface): Rewrite to only
document the new interfaces. Eventually we will deprecate
dynamic-link and friends.
* doc/ref/guile.texi (API Reference): Move Foreign Objects after Foreign
Function Interface. Seems there should be some closer relationship
but this will do for now.
* doc/ref/tour.texi (Putting Extensions into Modules):
* doc/ref/libguile-parallel.texi (Parallel Installations): Update for
rename of Modules and Extensions to Foreign Extensions.
* libguile/deprecated.h:
* libguile/deprecated.c (scm_dynamic_unlink): Deprecate.
* libguile/guile.c: Remove ltdl include.
* test-suite/tests/foreign.test: Update tests to use new API, and update
error expectations.
