* module/system/base/language.scm (lookup-decompilation-order): New
function, like its compiling cousin, but backwards.
(compute-translation-order): Rework so that languages can be specified
either by name or by identity. Return a list of language - procedure
pairs, without the "to" language in the list, instead of a list of
languages.
(invalidate-compilation-cache!): Invalidate the decompilation cache
too.
(<language>): Add a decompiler field.
* module/system/base/compile.scm (compile-passes): Much simpler now that
lookup-compilation-order gives us the procedures directly.
* module/language/*/spec.scm: Specify compilers by name, so that we can
avoid unnecessary module loads, and so that when we specify
decompilers, we can avoid cycles.
* 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.
* module/system/base/language.scm (<language>): Rework so that instead of
hardcoding passes in the language, we define compilers that translate
from one language to another. Add `parser' to the language fields, a
bit of a hack but useful for languages with s-expression external
representations but with record internal representations.
(define-language, *compilation-cache*, invalidate-compilation-cache!)
(compute-compilation-order, lookup-compilation-order): Add an algorithm
that does a depth-first search for a translation path from a source
language to a target language, caching the result in a lookup table.
* module/language/scheme/spec.scm:
* module/language/ghil/spec.scm: Update to the new language format.
* module/language/glil/spec.scm: Add a language specification for GLIL,
with a compiler to objcode. Also there are parsers and printers, for
repl usage, but for some reason this doesn't work yet.
* module/language/objcode/spec.scm: Define a language specification for
object code. There is some sleight of hand here, in the "compiler" to
values; but there is method behind the madness, because this way we
higher levels can pass environments (a module + externals pair) to
objcode->program.
* module/language/value/spec.scm: Define a language specification for
values. There is something intellectually dishonest about this, but it
does serve its purpose as a foundation for the language hierarchy.
* configure.in:
* module/language/Makefile.am
* module/language/ghil/Makefile.am
* module/language/glil/Makefile.am
* module/language/objcode/Makefile.am
* module/language/value/Makefile.am:
Autotomfoolery for the ghil, glil, objcode, and value languages.
* module/language/scheme/translate.scm (translate): Import the bits that
understand `compile-time-environment' here, and pass on the relevant
portions of the environment to the next compiler pass.
* module/system/base/compile.scm (current-language): New procedure, refs
the current language fluid, or lazily sets it to scheme.
(call-once, call-with-output-file/atomic): Refactor these bits to use
with-throw-handler. No functional change.
(compile-file, compile-and-load, compile-passes, compile-fold)
(compile): Refactor the public interface of the compiler to be generic
and simple. Uses `lookup-compilation-order' to find a path from the
source language to the target language.
* module/system/base/syntax.scm (define-type): Adapt to changes in
define-record.
(define-record): Instead of expecting all slots in the first form,
expect them in the body, and let the first form hold the options.
* module/system/il/compile.scm (compile): Adapt to the compilation pass
API (three in and two out).
* module/system/il/ghil.scm (<ghil-var>, <ghil-env>)
(<ghil-toplevel-env>): Adapt to define-record changes.
* module/system/il/glil.scm (<glil-vars>): Adapt to define-record
changes.
(<glil>, print-glil): Add a GLIL record printer that uses unparse.
(parse-glil, unparse-glil): Update unparse (formerly known as pprint),
and write a parse function.
* module/system/repl/common.scm (<repl>): Adapt to define-record changes.
(repl-parse): New function, parses the read form using the current
language. Something of a hack.
(repl-compile): Adapt to changes in `compile'.
(repl-eval): Fix up the does-the-language-have-a-compiler check for
changes in <language>.
* module/system/repl/repl.scm (start-repl): Parse the form before eval.
* module/system/repl/command.scm (describe): Parse.
(compile): Be more generic.
(compile-file): Adapt to changes in compile-file.
(disassemble, time, profile, trace): Parse.
* module/system/vm/debug.scm:
* module/system/vm/assemble.scm: Adapt to define-record changes.
* module/language/scheme/translate.scm (receive): Fix an important bug
that gave `receive' letrec semantics instead of let semantics. Whoops!
* libguile/vm-engine.c (vm_error_wrong_num_args): Sync the registers
before calling scm_wrong_num_args. (The other cases are handled more
uniformly.)
* libguile/vm.c (vm_heapify_frames_1): Add a FIXME: I don't think we
should be modifying the stack.
(scm_vm_save_stack): If stack nulling is enabled, verify the stack here
before reifying it.
* module/language/scheme/spec.scm (scheme): Use primitive-eval here
instead of eval, because at the repl we do want to allow evaluations to
have side effects like setting the current module.
* module/language/scheme/spec.scm (scheme): Specify an evaluator, `eval'.
* module/system/repl/common.scm (repl-default-options): Add option,
`interp', specifying that, if possible, the repl should interpret its
expressions rather than compile them. Defaults to #f.
* module/system/base/syntax.scm (keywords): Don't enable :keywords, it
breaks code that may assume that ':foo is a symbol, like boot-9.
* module/*.scm: Don't use :keywords, use #:keywords. The user can decide
if she wants #:keywords in their .guile, and :keywords might make us
compile modules differently.
