* module/language/ghil.scm (unparse-ghil): Fix unparsing of quasiquoted
expressions.
* module/language/ghil/spec.scm (join): Define a joiner for GHIL.
* module/language/scheme/compile-ghil.scm (cenv-ghil-env): Expand the
definition of a CENV so it can have an actual ghil-env, if available.
(compile-ghil): Return the actual ghil env in the cenv.
* module/system/base/compile.scm (compile-file): Rewrite. `output-file'
is now a keyword argument, along with the new kwargs `env' and `from'.
We now allow exceptions to propagate up, and instead of printing the
output file to the console, we return a string corresponding to its
location.
(compile-and-load): Use read-and-compile.
(compile-fold): Thread around the cenv as well. Return all three
values.
(find-language-joint, read-and-compile): New exciting helpers. The idea
is that compiling a file should be semantically equivalent to compiling
each expression in it, one by one. Compilation can have side effects,
e.g. affecting the current language or the current reader. So what we
do is find a point in the compilation path at which different
expressions of a given language can be joined into one. Expressions
from the source language are compiled to the joint language, then
joined and compiled to the target.
(compile): Just return the first value from compile-fold.
* module/system/base/language.scm (language-joiner): New optional field.
* scripts/compile: Rework for changes to compile-file.
* module/language/Makefile.am: OK, we can compile compile-ghil.scm now,
thankfully.
* module/language/ecmascript/compile-ghil.scm (ormatch): New macro, a
wrapper around pmatch to avoid some of the more egregious
non-tail recursiveness.
(comp): Use ormatch.
* module/language/ghil.scm (unparse-ghil): The body of bind and mv-bind
is a single expression, not a list of expressions.
* module/language/ghil/compile-glil.scm (codegen): Be more clever when
allocating "local" variables -- if a variable goes out of scope, its
index can be re-used later.
* module/language/glil.scm (parse-glil, unparse-ghil): The "rest" of a
mv-bind is a flag, not a list. The "ra" of an mv-call is a label, not a
GLIL expression.
* module/language/objcode/spec.scm (collapse-locals, decompile-value):
When decompiling a value, process the bindings list differently.
Comments in the code.
* module/language/scheme/compile-ghil.scm (define-scheme-translator): Fix
the generated error procedure.
(let): Re-indent.
(letrec): Re-indent.
* module/system/base/syntax.scm (record-case): If the body of a clause is
null, fill it with the unspecified value.
* module/system/base/syntax.scm (define-record): So, in the generated
constructors, allow optional arguments, but not keyword arguments.
Conses much less in the constructors.
(define-record/keywords): And the old define-record is here.
* module/language/ghil.scm (parse-ghil):
* module/language/ghil/compile-glil.scm (codegen):
* module/language/scheme/compile-ghil.scm (translate-1, quote)
(quasiquote): Don't use keywords in this compiler hotpath.
* module/system/base/language.scm (<language>):
* module/system/repl/common.scm (<repl>):
* module/system/vm/debug.scm (<debugger>): Use define-record/keywords.
* module/language/ghil.scm: Whoops, export some unquote-splicing
accessors that we didn't have exported before.
* module/system/base/syntax.scm: Speed up record-case, by syntactically
determining the predicates and accessors. Nasty, in a way; but also
much faster.
* module/language/ghil.scm (parse-ghil, unparse-ghil): Rework to make the
parse format correspond more closely with the object representation, so
that I only have to document it once in the manual. The salient change
is that no expression is self-quoting, and that variable references
should go through `(ref FOO)'. Rename `set!' to `set'.
* module/language/ghil/compile-glil.scm: Add a couple of compilers for
unquote and unquote-splicing, that just raise an error. This way I can
document unquote and unquote-splicing as normal ghil expressions,
except that it's the compiler that catches them if they're outside a
quasiquote.
(codegen): Adapt to change in <glil-asm>.
* module/language/ghil/spec.scm (parse): Fix parser typo bug.
* module/language/glil.scm (<glil-asm>): Remove useless <glil-vars>
structure, which also had a confusing name. Just put the nargs, nrest,
nlocs, and nexts in the <glil-asm> directly.
(parse-glil, unparse-glil): Serialize `asm' more straightforwardly.
* module/language/glil/compile-objcode.scm (<bytespec>): Remove
<glil-vars>, as with <glil-asm>.
(preprocess, make-meta, codegen, dump-object!): Adapt to change in
<glil-asm>.
* doc/ref/api-evaluation.texi: Fix some typos and xrefs.
* doc/ref/compiler.texi (The Scheme Compiler): Document the scheme
compiler, and start documenting the GHIL language.
* doc/ref/guile.texi (Guile Implementation): Whoops, put autoconf after
the implementation foo. Unless we want it before?
* doc/ref/history.texi (The Emacs Thesis): Fix typo.
* doc/ref/vm.texi (Environment Control Instructions): Rename offset to
index.
* module/language/ghil.scm (parse-ghil): Fix what I think was a bug --
the consumer in a mv-call shouldn't be a rest arg.
* module/language/scheme/Makefile.am (SOURCES):
* module/language/scheme/compile-ghil.scm: Rename this file from
translate.scm.
* module/oop/goops.scm:
* module/language/scheme/spec.scm: Deal with renaming.
