make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
* boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
just arrange for 'make all' to do nothing. Don't abort
configuration. We need a fully configured directory tree in order
to make distributions and the like.
(plugin_distfiles, md_distfiles, time_distfiles): New variables.
(dist-dir): New target; use all the above to build a subtree of a
distribution.
(manifest): Target deleted.
Append "." to the default %load-path.
(feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
(module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
...))
(%load-announce): minor formatting change.
(file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
(file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
(try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
file-is-directory?
scm_boot_guile_1() to ensure that stack base pointer is properly
initialized. There was no guarantee that variable i was the
highest/lowest variable on stack (i.e. the call frame of
scm_boot_guile was not completely protected from gc).
throw.c: Renamed last_debug_info_frame -> scm_last_debug_frame.
* throw.c: Renamed scm_catch --> scm_catch_apply and added more
arguments. The motivation is that code in root.c needs catch
functionality, and we want to avoid code duplication.
New functions: scm_catch, scm_lazy_catch. These are wrappers for
scm_catch_apply. scm_lazy_catch is intended to introduce catch
handlers that run without popping the stack into the dynwind
chain.
throw.c: Renamed last_debug_info_frame -> scm_last_debug_frame.
* root.c: Renamed `call-with-new-root' -->
`call-with-dynamic-root'.
(cwdr): Removed allocation of new root state. This should be done
separately by use of scm_make_root.
(scm_apply_with_dynamic_root): New function: Does what it
sounds like. Needed when spawning threads.
