* libguile/backtrace.c (scm_print_exception): Use scm_module_variable to
look up print-exception so that it works before boot-9 is loaded.
* libguile/throw.c (CACHE_VAR): Tweak to use scm_from_latin1_symbol.
* libguile/throw.c (handler_message, should_print_backtrace): Use
scm_print_exception. Add a helper function to determine when to print
a backtrace; don't do so on read or syntax errors.
* libguile/backtrace.c (scm_print_exception): Add C binding for
print-exception, which dispatches to whatever is defined in Scheme.
(boot_print_exception): Add initial binding, replaced later in
Scheme.
* module/ice-9/boot-9.scm: Expect there to already be a print-exception
binding.
* module/system/repl/error-handling.scm (error-string): Just use
print-exception instead of rolling our own printer.
(call-with-error-handling): Simplify.
* module/ice-9/boot-9.scm (set-exception-printer!, print-exception):
Define an extensible exception-printing mechanism.
Also register printers for all keys thrown by Guile.
Inspired by a patch by Andreas Rottmann.
* libguile/frames.c (scm_frame_source): Don't call out to (system vm
frames), as this routine is used when printing exceptions. Make
available in the default environment (ugh).
* module/system/vm/frame.scm: Remove frame-source definition and
export.
* libguile.h:
* libguile/Makefile.am:
* libguile/deprecated.h:
* libguile/deprecated.c:
* libguile/init.c:
* libguile/properties.c:
* libguile/properties.h: Deprecate the "primitive properties"
interface. It was only used to implement object properties, and that
is no longer the case.
* module/ice-9/boot-9.scm (make-object-property): Reimplement just in
terms of weak hash tables, and make threadsafe.
* NEWS:
* doc/ref/api-utility.texi: Update.
* libguile/ports.h (scm_i_remove_port): Remove declaration, as it was
SCM_INTERNAL.
* libguile/ports.c (scm_add_to_port_table): Issue a deprecation
warning if this function is called. Remove needless SCM_API
declaration, it was already declared as such in ports.h. Safely
access the port table.
(scm_i_remove_port): Remove bogus comment about lack of need for
threadsafety. Take the port table mutex.
(scm_close_port): No need to take port table mutex around calling
scm_i_remove_port.
* libguile/ports.c (scm_i_set_default_port_encoding,
scm_i_default_port_encoding): New function. Replace
`scm_i_set_port_encoding_x' and `scm_i_get_port_encoding' with
PORT == SCM_BOOL_F.
(scm_i_set_port_encoding_x): Assume PORT is a port.
(scm_i_get_port_encoding): Remove.
(scm_port_encoding): Adjust accordingly.
(scm_new_port_table_entry): Use `scm_i_default_port_encoding'.
* libguile/ports.h (scm_i_get_port_encoding): Remove declarations.
(scm_i_default_port_encoding, scm_i_set_default_port_encoding): New
declarations.
* libguile/posix.c (setlocale): Use `scm_i_set_default_port_encoding'.
* module/ice-9/getopt-long.scm (fatal-error): New helper. For errors
that come from the user -- i.e., not the grammar -- we will handle our
own error printing and call `exit' rather than relying on the root
catch handler. This is more friendly to the user than a Scheme
backtrace.
(parse-option-spec, process-options, getopt-long): Call `fatal-error'
as appropriate.
* test-suite/tests/getopt-long.test (pass-if-fatal-exception): New
helper, checks that a certain key was thrown to, and that suitable
output has been printed on an error port.
(deferr): Change to expect a 'quit key instead of 'misc-error. Update
exceptions to not match the beginning of the string, as that will be
the program name. Update tests to use pass-if-fatal-exception.
* module/ice-9/getopt-long.scm: #:keywords in the define-module block.
(option-spec): Define as a srfi-9 record instead of playing macro
games with boot-9 records.
* libguile/backtrace.c (display_error_body): Don't look up the
frame-source if Guile isn't initialized yet. Fixes display-error
before boot has finished.
* libguile/throw.c (handler_message): Likewise, don't backtrace before
boot has finished, because we can't load (system vm frame).
* libguile/throw.c (find_pre_init_catch): New internal helper.
(pre_init_throw): If we don't find a catch, print out a message and
abort.
(scm_init_throw): Declare pre-init-throw as taking at least one arg.
* libguile/foreign.c (unpack): Make sure X is a pointer before using
`SCM_POINTER_VALUE'.
* test-suite/tests/foreign.test ("pointer->procedure"): New test prefix.
* meta/uninstalled-env.in (subdirs_with_ltlibs): Remove "srfi".
Reorder the load-path and load-compiled-path to put the root dir after
guile-readline, so that relative canonicalization computes the correct
path for ice-9/readline.scm.
* module/ice-9/format.scm (format): When DESTINATION is #f, use a
Unicode-capable output string port.
* test-suite/tests/format.test ("format basic output")["default to
Unicode-capable port"]: New test.
